Abstract

See full text

The cable (2), at one extremity of which the connector is fixed, is wound onto the largest portion of the periphery of the drum (6) and is fixed at its other extremity to an arm (12) pivoting around the spin axis (7) of the drum (6). The spring returning the drum (6) clockwise is stronger than the one returning the arm (12) in the same direction. The pivoting arm (12) is housed in a cell (11) of the drum (6) and bears an articulated angle lever (17) whose extremity (18) is engaged in a notch (22) of the drum (6). A continuous traction ensures the full withdrawing of the cable, the drum then being kept in the corresponding 'reinforced' position by the ratchet (24). At the time of disconnection, a new slight traction applied to the cable provokes the automatic disengagement of the ratchet (24) and the effective lowering of the cable (2).
