Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for implementing a coiler. In an example aspect, the coiler can compactly organize a variety of flexible elements while enabling one portion of the flexible element to remain at a fixed position. Instead of using a rotating reel, the coiler includes a rotating member and a stationary shaft. The rotating member rotates and passes the flexible element to the shaft.

Because the shaft remains relatively stationary as the flexible element is coiled or uncoiled, the coiled portion of the flexible element also remains relatively stationary. Consequently, the coiler can forego other complicated or expensive interfaces and enable the flexible element to connect directly to a stationary source.
