Abstract:
A mechanism for charging an electronic device with a retractable cord reel. The device maintains a substantially continuous converted power source connection during operation, including operations adjusting the length of the retractable cord.

Claim (Index 2):
A retractable cord reel apparatus comprising:\n a) a housing including a battery power source therein; b) a spool positioned within the housing and arranged for rotation relative to the housing, the spool having a conductive surface along one face; c) a retractable cord have a distal end and a proximate end, the retractable cord capable of being extended from and retracted into the housing so as to wrap around the spool during retraction, the proximate end of the retractable cord electrically communicating with the conductive surface of the spool; d) At least one fixed, conductive spring contact for enabling continuous conductive contact with the conductive surface of the spool; e) A power plug fixably connected relative to the housing for providing power to the retractable cord through electrical communication via the fixed conductive spring and the conductive surface of the spool; and f) A ratchet for mechanically maintaining the spool position for a desired extension of the retractable cord during use;\n Whereby the retractable cord reel apparatus can alternate between battery power and external AC power sources supplied to the retractable cord for powering an external electronic device.
