Abstract: An integrated cord take up assembly and signal transforming device made up of a housing having a transforming circuit and a wire winding means connected therein. The transforming circuit is connected to an input means and an output means and is configured to transform a signal from the input means and to send that signal out through the output means. The input means is connected to a transforming circuit which modifies an input signal from the input means. The transforming circuit then sends out the transformed signal through the output means. A wire connects either the receiver to the input means and/or the out put means to the transformer. The wire is connected to a wire-winding mechanism that is also contained within a housing. The wire winding mechanism is configured to selectively wind and hold the wire within the housing.

Abstract: The invention is a dual reel cord take-up device for flat wire cable which has a generally semi-cylindrical upper and lower case half which snap together over a dual-purpose shaft to make two compartments. The first compartment is a cord extension and take-up compartment which is divided in two by a slotted disk on the dual-purpose shaft in that compartment. Flat wire cable is wound on the dual-purpose shaft in both compartments, and extends through two apertures in the walls of the compartment. The cable in one aperture is fixed so it does not move in and out of the aperture. The wire cable in the second aperture is free to extend or retract through the aperture. A spring provides the power to retract cable into the take-up device.

The cable in one aperture is fixed so it does not move in and out of the aperture. The wire cable in the second aperture is free to extend or retract through the aperture. In the second compartment is a flat coil spring fixed on its outside end to a generally cylindrical spring cup within said compartment, and fixed on its inside end to the dual-purpose shaft in that compartment. The spring cup is biased against rotation except to tighten the spring, so the shaft is continually under tension to rotate and retrieve the cable into the take-up compartment.

Abstract: A multiple wire electric cable (10) having a plurality of conductive wires (12), each formed of a multifilament tensile core (14) of unbonded aramid fibers (16). Said conductive wires (12) further having at least a pair of tinsel conductor ribbons (18, 20), spirally wrapped in the same direction about tensile core (14). Further, each of conductor wires (12) arranged in an orientation wherein the spiral wraps of conductor tinsel in each conductor wire (12) are in alternating directions from one conductive wire to the next.

Abstract: The invention is a dual reel cord take-up device for flat wire cable which has a generally semi-cylindrical upper and lower case half which snap together over a dual-purpose shaft to make two compartments. The first compartment is a cord take-up compartment which is divided in two by a slotted rib on the shaft in that compartment. Flat wire cable is received in both sides of the compartment through apertures in the walls of the compartment. In the second compartment is a flat coil spring fixed on its outside end to a generally cylindrical spring cup within said compartment, and fixed on its inside end to the dual-purpose shaft in that compartment. The spring cup is biased against rotation except to tighten the spring, so the shaft is continually under tension to rotate and retrieve the cable into the take-up compartment.

Abstract: A dual take-up reel device (10) is disclosed which includes a dual reel spool assembly (27) having a pair of winding hubs (29) axially secured together and separated by a main spool disc (28). An arcuate cord slot (31) is provided in main spool disc (28) for centrally attaching a flat tape cord (11) around winding hubs (29). Dual reel spool assembly (27) is rotatably held and encased by first and second main housing halves (13) and (19). The two ends of flat tape cord extend outward from the housing through first and second cord slots defined by first and second cord slot defining notches 59a and 59b and 60a and 60b. A flat coil spring (48) is attached within its own casing and between dual reel spool assembly (27) and second main housing house (19) via spring locking key (51) and radially biases dual reel spool assembly (27) about its axis to retract any slack in flat tape cord (11) into the housing and around the reels on dual reel spool assembly (27).
