  • Power accessories for a radiotelephone having a retractable power cord
    Patent number: 6059081
    Abstract: A power accessory for a powered device includes a retractable power cord. The power accessory includes a housing having an outlet opening, a power circuit contained within the housing, a power input connected to the power circuit, an outlet cord passing through the outlet opening in the housing having a first end connected to the power circuit and a second end adapted to connect to the powered device, and a retraction assembly contained within the housing for retracting the outlet cord into the housing when the power accessory is not in use. The power circuit is embodied in a printed circuit board. Both the power circuit and power input are mounted to said retraction assembly so as to rotate with the retraction assembly. Thus, there is no need for slip rings to make electrical connection between various electrical components.
