Abstract:

A switch device is used in a self-retracting cord reel having a housing, a rotating drum, and an electrical cord having a portion thereof wound on the drum, a spring motor for rewinding the cord on the drum, a ratchet, a pawl having a first stop position for engaging the ratchet to stop the reel from rewinding the cord and a second position permitting the reel to rewind the cord, the positioning of the pawl being controlled by the movement of the reel with the cord. A switch is secured to the drum in circuit with the cord and is biased to one of its two positions. Switch operating mechanism is adapted to be moved by the pawl for placing the switch in the other position when the pawl is in its stop position.
