Abstract

A reel apparatus for a moveable system comprises a base disposed on the moveable system; a rotatable drum rotatably supported on the base onto which a cable can be spooled; a speed reducer for rotating the drum; a motor drive the speed reducer; a first transmission device coupled between the motor and the speed reducer; a coupling coupled between the speed reducer and the motor, when a load of the drum exceeds a predetermined torque, the coupling slips so as to limit a drive torque transmitted from the motor to the speed reducer to stop the drum; and an electrical connector connected at one end to a power cord of the moveable system and slidably contacted with the other end thereof with one end of the cable. With the present invention, a commercial power supply can be connected to the moveable system directly, thus reducing components of the conventional power supplying apparatus. At the same time, the cable sheath is prevented from being damaging and potential safety hazards are eliminated.
