  • Publication number: 20100300826
    Abstract: An electric vehicle powered by a trailing cable, the vehicle including a cable guide for guiding cable onto a reel as the cable is paid out and taken up. The cable guide comprises a pair of adjacent, double flanged concave rollers in alignment with each other so that their respective flanges are spaced apart by only a small distance substantially less than the cable diameter so that an essentially closed circular path is defined by the concave surfaces of the adjacent rollers so that the cable can not escape the rollers, each of the rollers including a polyurethane core that is hard and slick that creates a natural bearing surface, and an outer portion made of softer polyurethane than the core that aids in gripping and guiding the cable onto the cable reel.
