<p>A reeling device (2) includes a housing (5) having multiple chambers (18, 20) with main and secondary reels (36, 39) rotatably mounted therein. A single length of cable (60) is wound on the two reels (36, 39) with a first end portion (63) of the cable (60) being coiled on the main reel (36) and a second, substantially shorter portion (69) coiled on the secondary reel (39) with an end fixed to the housing (5). As the first portion (63) is fully unwound from the main reel (36) the second portion (69) is simultaneously unwound from and then rewound onto the secondary reel (39) such that a compact reeling device (2) is provided without the use of slip rings. The reeling device (2) also includes a drive system (94) for controlling the deployment and retraction of the cable (60).</p> |
