<p>The invention relates to a novel wand including a self-winding or self-furling mechanism into which a cord attached to the wand is retracted so that the wand travels along the cord if this is held fast. The wand may also be collapsible. Typically, the wand comprises a tubular member and a resilient member mounted within the tubular member, one end of the resilient member being connected to a cord which passes out through an aperture and a side wall of the tubular member and the other end of the resilient member being conneccted to the tubular member whereby when the cord is extracted from the tubular member by the aperture, the resilient member is resiliently deformed such that the cord is under tension and the cord and tubular member are urged there together.</p> |
