The stored cord section is at least partially wound over the pair of pulleys, and one pair of pulleys is slidably mounted for motion toward the other pair of pulleys. A damper is coupled to one of the second pair of pulleys, which engages the pulley to rotate about an axis to damp the rotary motion of one of the second pair of pulleys in such a manner that the intermediate storage section is in tension during retraction and withdrawal.

Abstract: The cord accommodation apparatus of the present application includes a housing and a pulley mechanism. The pulley mechanism includes a plurality of movable pulleys. The movable pulleys are attached to the housing so as to be able to move freely in an up and down direction, and a middle portion of an electrical cord is wound around the movable pulleys. At least one of the plurality of movable pulleys moves upwards with respect to the housing when the electrical cord is pulled out from the accommodation apparatus, while by contrast the electrical cord is accommodated in the accommodation apparatus by this movable pulley, that. has previously moved upwards, moving downwards.

Abstract: A system for storing multiple cord retractors comprises at least one cord retractor. Each retractor includes a first and second pair of pulleys mounted at opposite ends of a frame. An intermediate section of a cable is stored in the frame and has one end of the stored section fixed to the frame, with the other end extending from the frame. The stored cable section is at least partially wound over the pair of pulleys, and one pair of pulleys is slidably mounted for motion toward the other pair of pulleys. A damper is coupled to one of the second pair of pulleys, which engages the pulley to rotate about an axis to damp the rotary motion of one of the second pair of pulleys in such a manner that the intermediate storage section is in tension during retraction and withdrawal. The system further includes a bracket and a pin.

Abstract: A reel for winding an elongated body includes a rotor 30 that pivots relative to a casing, a free roller 22 located on the outer peripheral side of the rotor 30, and an inner reel section 30 formed on the inner side thereof. An elongated body is wound in one direction on the outer periphery of the inner reel section 23, and the elongated body extending from the inner reel section is reversed by a reversing roller 21, wound in the other direction on the outer periphery of the free roller 22, and pulled out to the outer periphery of the rotor. The inner reel section 23 is adapted to be pivotable relative to the rotor 30. The pivot shaft of the inner reel section 23 is placed at a position different from the position of the center axis 11 for pivoting of the rotor 30. The reel has a pivoting device for pivoting the inner reel section 23 such that the rotor 30 and the inner reel section 23 pivot in the directions opposite to each other with substantially the same angular speed.

Abstract: A cable manager has a support member and a bracket that mounts the support member to a ceiling joist of a golf cart shed. A first pulley wheel attaches to the top end of the support member, and a second pulley wheel attaches to a pulley mounting bracket. A coil spring entrained about the first pulley wheel has one end attached to the pulley mounting bracket and the other end attached to the bottom end of the support member. The second pulley wheel is suspended at a lower elevation than the first pulley wheel and moves down against the force of the spring when the power cable entrained over it is pulled down to connect to a golf cart for recharging. While recharging occurs, the lower pulley is fixed to the support member by attaching its bracket to an S-hook that attaches the spring to the vertical support member. When the power cable is released, the pulley moves up but its upward travel is limited by a cable bracket that captures the power cable and holds it in position for easy retrieval for the next use.
