Abstract
A rotatable reel carried on one'"'"'s person having a housing assembled from an upper lid and a bottom lid is disclosed. A male upper cover and a female lower cover are provided in the housing to form a reel axle to be placed therein a coil spring and a roll of pulling rope. One end of the rope is exposed to the exterior of the housing to connect with a clamp on the surface of the bottom lid. A slightly smaller lining sleeve is slipped in the upper lid, the bottom lid is slipped over the lining sleeve and abutted on a protruding portion provided on the lining sleeve for tight connecting with the upper lid. A rivet sleeve is extended through central holes of the bottom lid, the reel and the lining sleeve and is rivet fastened with its end to the lining sleeve. The upper lid is provided directly on the planar surface thereof with a hole for receiving a decorative piece, the hole can be formed by punching molding to have various shapes to give various decorative possibilities for the reel. Alternatively, the hole can be directly added with an elastomer pad sandwiched between the upper lid and the lining sleeve to function as a decorative piece. And the reel axle is formed by slipping of the male upper cover in the female lower cover, space for receiving the coil spring and the pulling rope can be enlarged. This allows convenient rotation within 360 degrees of the reel in pulling out a rope, besides, the end of the rope can be elastically reeled back to its proper position without frictional damage.
