  • USB cable adapter with cable winding mechanism
    Patent number: 6733328
    Abstract: A cable winding device of a USB cable adapter is disclosed. The device comprises a case including a spool and a straight groove; a crown shaped rotating mechanism comprising a channel put on the spool, two opposite edge openings, an internal curved trough, a cavity adjacent the curved trough, and an arcuate trough adjacent the cavity; a roller in the straight groove; and a worm spring secured onto the spool. A pulling of a flat cable causes the roller to move toward the arcuate trough with the worm spring being deformed while the roller is sliding. A release of the pulling causes the roller to move in the cavity for locking. A slight pulling of the cable from the locked position clears the roller from the cavity to move in the curved trough with stored energy of the compressed worm spring released for winding the cable.
