Abstract
The retractable winder comprises a support for winding the power cord of an electric flat-iron and two members for retaining the turns of the power cord. The support consists of a series of arms projecting from one face of a plate which constitutes the first retaining member. The second retaining member is constituted by the rear face of the flat-iron casing and provided with guide holes in which the cord-supporting arms are slidably engaged. An elastic traction member consisting of a rubber ring is mounted between the cord-supporting arms and provides a resilient connection between the flat-iron casing and the retaining plate.
