Abstract: A lead adjustment apparatus includes a cover portion including locking means, a rotating member around which a lead is wound, latches coupled to the rotating member, and rotating with respect to the same axis as the rotating member when force of a preset range is applied to the lead, and opened so as to be locked into some of the locking means, an elastic member allowing the latches to be gathered together, and a spiral spring adding a rotational force to the rotating member such that the lead is wound. The latches are controlled by the elastic member to be locked into some of the locking means when the lead is unwound and not to be locked into the locking means when the lead is wound. Accordingly, the lead may be controlled differently with respect to each of cases where the lead is wound and the lead is unwound.
