Abstract

A cable winding apparatus for a charger, which is not only easy to operate but also providing the charging cable an automatic guidance function and a shielding protection, is disclosed. The cable winding apparatus includes a portable charger main body with a grasping and rotating cap, a cable storage groove formed around the external surface of the charger main body, a guiding sleeve movably sleeved onto the cable storage groove. By utilizing the mutual operation of the consumer's hands, holding the guiding sleeve steadily by one hand, further grasping and rotating the main body by the other hand, the charging cable under the guidance of the guiding and rewinding opening can be sequentially wound into each groove slot in an orderly manner and therefore under the shielding protection of the guiding sleeve. Thereby, the present invention is easy to operate and successful in extending the lifetime of the charging cable.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A cable winding apparatus for winding a charging cable of a charger, comprising: 
 a main body;    a cable storage groove formed around the external surface of the main body, providing the charging cable a winging storage; and    a guiding sleeve having a guiding and rewinding opening formed along a longitudinal surface thereof, movably sleeved onto the cable storage groove.    
   
   
       2 . The cable winding apparatus for charger of  claim 1 , wherein the charging main body is portable.  
   
   
       3 . The cable winding apparatus for charger of  claim 1 , wherein the cable storage groove is formed by a continuously ranking of spiral grooves around the external surface of the cylindrical shell of the charger main body.  
   
   
       4 . The cable winding apparatus for charger of  claim 3 , wherein the groove width of the groove slot of the cable storage groove is commensurate with the diameter of the charging cable.  
   
   
       5 . The cable winding apparatus for charger of  claim 3 , wherein each groove slot of the cable storage groove has a corresponding point on the guiding and rewinding opening of the guiding sleeve.  
   
   
       6 . The cable winding apparatus for charger of  claim 1 , wherein a length of the guiding and rewinding opening is commensurate with a length of the guiding sleeve.  
   
   
       7 . The cable winding apparatus for charger of  claim 1 , further comprising a grasping and rotating cap engaged with the charger main body to drive the charger main body to rotate synchronously with the cap.  
   
   
       8 . The cable winding apparatus for charger of  claim 7 , wherein the cap comprises two opposite concave grasping portions formed on the surface thereof to provide a consumer to grasp the cap and to drive the main body to rotate synchronously with the cap.
