Vehicle Mountable Personal Property Securement Device

A vehicle-mountable personal property securement device comprising:

• a housing defined in part by a plurality of walls;
• a coupler disposed on a given wall of the plurality, the coupler defining a mounting mechanism operable to assist mounting of the housing to a portion of a vehicle;
• a reel operatively secured to at least one of the plurality walls for enabling axial rotation within an interior of the housing;
• a cable having first and second ends, wherein the first end of the cable is secured to the reel and the reel is operable by rotation to enable winding/unwinding of a length of the cable;
• a power spring to apply a rotational force on the reel to enable retrievable winding and tensioned unwinding of the cable about the reel;
• a sidewall of the plurality of walls for the housing defining a cable exit orifice, the cable passably threaded through the cable exit orifice;
• and
• a head fastened to the second end of the cable external the housing, the head comprising at least a portion of width greater than the diameter of the cable exit orifice.

A vehicle with extractable cable to assist security of property to the vehicle, comprising:

• a frame member in fixed relationship to a vehicle chassis;
• a housing fixed to at least one of the frame member and the vehicle chassis, the housing defined at least in part by walls and at least one of the walls defines an aperture;
• a reel axially secured for rotation within the housing;
• a cable threaded through the aperture, the cable comprising a first end fixed to the reel and a second end opposite the first end;
• a head disposed on the second end of the cable external the housing, the head having a radial circumference greater than that of the exit aperture;
• a clock spring to apply a rotational force to the reel relative the housing for enabling retractable winding of the cable about a circumference of the reel;
• and
• a brake mechanism operatively configured in cooperation with the reel to enable relief of tension on the cable at given extractions of its length and angular rotation of the reel.
