<p>A cable wound up on a drum in a housing is withdrawable from the housing, following release of a ratchet spur-wheel linked to the drum. An end notch insertable in a housing recess is protected from withdrawal by a barrier blocked by a lock. The barrier element is in the form of a cover(4) on the housing.
