Abstract

In order to improve upon a take-up device for a line comprising a frame on which a take-up drum for the line is mounted so as to be rotatable about an axis, and a rotary coupling between a line terminal fixed to the frame and a line terminal fixed to the take-up drum, in such manner that as reliable as possible a rotary coupling is provided, it is proposed that the rotary coupling comprises a first auxiliary drum which co-rotates with the take-up drum and a second auxiliary drum which is fixed relative to the frame, that the rotary coupling comprises a rotating element which is rotatable about the rotation axis at a lower speed than the first auxiliary drum, and that the rotary coupling comprises a connection line which can be wound onto or unwound from the first auxiliary drum, passes from the first auxiliary drum to the rotating element in a first strand and passes from the rotating element to the second auxiliary drum in a second strand, and can be unwound from or wound onto said second auxiliary drum.
