Abstract:
A power adapter comprising a body on which a first plug is formed, the body defining an interior space with a reel rotatably supported therein, said reel comprising a first disk and a second disk coaxially mounted with a biasing means therebetween, a cable being wound around the reel and having a first end electrically connected to the first plug and a second end extending beyond the body, a second plug being formed on the second end of the cable, the reel being rotatable in a first direction to unwind the cable therefrom thereby allowing the cable to extend outside the body and rotatable in an opposite second direction to wind the cable and thus retract the cable into the body, the biasing means biasing the reel in the second direction, the power adapter converting AC power to DC power to power a portable electrical device.
