<p>A cord reel assembly (30) is provided which maintains a length of stationary wire (15) and a length of shielded rectractable wire (16) around a spool. The assembly (30) dispenses the retractable wire (16) as an attached handset is extended away from the assembly, while the stationary wire (15) is concurrently being wound. A portion of the stationary wire (15) internal to a housing enclosure is unshielded, while a portion extending outside the housing enclosure is shielded. The unshielded stationary wire is shielded by applying conductive paint or electroplating to the housing enclosure, thereby reducing EMI emissions. A spring cover (34) retains a recoil spring and provides a bearing surface against a spindle member (32). The winding direction of the stationary and retractable wires is chosen, and the stationary and retractable wires is chosen, and the stationary wire conductors are arranged with shield ground wires, such that EMI emissions are reduced.</p> |
