Single action reel control mechanism

Abstract

A retractable reel rotational control apparatus, comprising a mechanical actuator which simultaneously brakes and locks the reel in a single action of the actuator, and releases the brake and lock with a subsequent action, wherein the reel brake is separate from the actuator.

1 . A retractable reel rotation control apparatus with a single multifunction actuator comprising:
 a. A housing;   b. An actuator;   c. A reel;   d. A tension element furled and unfurled by said reel;   e. A brake connecting said actuator to said reel;   f. A tracing groove to regulate the function of said actuator to said reel, where the tracing groove is in the surface of the actuator;   g. A tracing pin located between said housing and said tracing groove, where one end of said pin is pivotally mounted to said housing and the other end of said pin freely traces said tracing groove.   
     
     
         2 . A retractable reel rotational control apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises of two halves. 
     
     
         3 . A retractable reel rotational control apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the actuator is a trigger. 
     
     
         4 . A retractable reel rotational control apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the actuator is a button. 
     
     
         5 . A retractable reel rotation control device with a single multifunction control device comprising:
 a. A housing;   b. An actuator;   c. A reel;   d. A tension element furled and unfurled by said reel;   e. A brake connecting said actuator to said reel;   f. A tracing groove to regulate the function of said actuator to said reel, where the tracing groove is located on the housing of the rotational control device;   g. A tracing pin located between said housing and said tracing groove, where one end of said pin is pivotally mounted to said housing and the other end of said pin freely traces said tracing groove.   
     
     
         6 . A retractable reel rotational control device of  claim 5 , wherein the housing comprises of two halves. 
     
     
         7 . A retractable reel rotational control device of  claim 6 , wherein the control device is a trigger. 
     
     
         8 . A retractable reel rotational control device of  claim 6 , wherein the control device is a button.
