Abstract
Disclosed herein is a cable winding device including: a base member disposed in a fixed state; a winding reel that is connected to part of a cable and that can be rotated relative to the base member in a winding direction and an unwinding direction; a lever supported on the winding reel and rotated together with the winding reel relative to the base member; a biasing member biasing the winding reel in the winding direction; a rotatable member that is disposed to face the base member, that can be rotated around a fulcrum axis relative to the base member, and that has a control part operative to control winding of the cable; and a control rib located on a locus of rotation of the rotatable member. The winding of the cable is controlled according to the position of the control part relative to the control rib.
Claims18
A cable winding device comprising:
- a base member disposed in a fixed state;
- a winding reel that is connected to part of a cable and that can be rotated relative to the base member in a cable winding direction and a cable unwinding direction reverse to the cable winding direction;
- a lever supported on the winding reel and rotated together with the winding reel relative to the base member;
- a biasing member biasing the winding reel in the winding direction;
- a rotatable member that is disposed to face the base member, that can be rotated relative to the base member with a fulcrum axis as a fulcrum, the fulcrum axis being located coaxially with a rotational axis of the winding reel, and that has a control part operative to control winding of the cable;
- and
- a control rib located on a locus of rotation of the rotatable member,
- wherein the winding of the cable is controlled according to the position of the control part relative to the control rib.
