Abstract
A reel device includes a spool unit and a handle unit. The spool unit includes a tubular winding body and a pair of first and second flanges. The winding body has opposite first and second open ends, each of which has a peripheral edge. Each of the first and second flanges extends radially and outwardly from the peripheral edge of a respective one of the first and second open ends of the winding body. The handle unit is disposed in and is coupled rotatably to the winding body. The spool unit is rotatable relative to the handle unit in a first angular direction, and in a second angular direction opposite to the first angular direction.
Claims6
A reel device, comprising:
- a spool unit including
- a tubular winding body defining an accommodating space therein, and having opposite first and second open ends, each of which has a peripheral edge, and
- a pair of first and second flanges, each of which extends radially and outwardly from said peripheral edge of a respective one of said first and second open ends of said winding body;
- a first electrical connector mounted on said first open end of said winding body;
- an electrical socket mounted on said first open end of said winding body and coupled electrically to said first electrical connector;
- an electrical cable wound on said winding body, and having a first end portion that is terminated by a second electrical connector to be coupled electrically to said first electrical connector, and a second end portion that is terminated by an electrical plug;
- and
- a handle unit disposed in and coupled rotatably to said winding body;
- wherein said spool unit is rotatable relative to said handle unit in a first angular direction so as to wind said electrical cable on said winding body, and in a second angular direction so as to unwind said electrical cable from said winding body.
