Abstract
A reel charging device includes a casing integral with electrically interconnected charging plug and a power outlet plug, the casing incorporating a reel capstan complete with a winding groove to facilitate housing of coil of leader whereby the charging plug rests onto the charging device, and said winding groove will release the coil of leader to suitable length as required; outside the rotative perimeter of the reel capstan are a plurality of dents which in a stay-put setting allows for catching of a claw by resilient action, the claw being part of an actuator, then, of the casing, so that the coil of leader rolled up in position in the reel capstan is restrained from being disengaged by a pull unless the actuator, being worked upon by force, is displaced to release the claw from the fed position in the dents.
Claims8
A reel charging device comprising:
- a casing;
- a reel capstan mounted in said casing, configured with a winding groove and a plurality of match grooves about the outer rim of the totative perimeter;
- a charging plug in conduction with leader that is rolled up in said winding groove;
- a receptacle plug in electric communication with said charging plug;
- an actuator, integral with a claw which is normally engaged in a stop position in said match grooves and is movable by application of a force to a feed position whereby the claw is disengaged from said match groove;
- and
- a resilient member acting on said actuator and biasing the actuator to the stop position,
- wherein said receptacle plug and said casing are respectively furnished with a conductive footing and a conduction member in contact only when the receptacle plug is in a power-in position.
