Abstract: According to the invention there is provided a cord rewinder which includes two sets of multiple pulleys, each set being seated at an opposite end of an elongate housing. One set is fixed in place while the other set is biased toward its corresponding end of the housing. When a pull is applied to a cord helically wound around the pulleys and extending along the length of the housing between the pulleys, the biased pulley set moves toward the fixed pulley set releasing the cord. When the pull is removed, the biased pulley set moves back to its end position retracting the cord.

Abstract: The cord winding device of the present invention includes a housing within which a spring biased spool is engaged. The biasing spring is internal of the spool, creating a simple device which is small in size. Engagement of the spool to the housing is created with a yoke-like structure, allowing the device to function without regard to its orientation. The spool is provided with a high walled helical channel in its outer surface, within which a single layer of cord can be secured with turns of the cord being isolated from one another. The cord is pinched in position when placed at a severe angle from its coiled angle. Further, a double contact rotary contact assembly which is able to accommodate up to eight conductors is provided within the housing, creating devices by which current can be transferred from conductors of a fixed in position terminal end cord to conductors of the cord rotatably secured to the spool within the device without causing twisting of the cord.
