  • Publication number: 20030106823
    Abstract: An improved short wire length wire-winding box includes a rotary disk driven by a spiral reed and pivotally installed in a casing having a receiving groove. The communication wire is at first wound around a pivotal shaft (inner circle) for several turns, and then is placed in the rotary disk. The rotary disk is rotated so that the communication wire is wound around a second ring (outer circle) in the same direction. When the communication wire is directly pulled out from the wire-winding box, the communication wire wound around the pivotal shaft will be pulled more and more tightly so that the communication wire wound around the pivotal shaft will not disperse for avoiding the situation that part of the communication wire can not be rewound. Moreover, the communication wire wound around the pivotal shaft can be tightly positioned thereon without any positioning device.
