Embodiment Construction

[0029] now refer to figure 1 , shows a tubular self-expanding device 2 according to the invention. Said device 2 has a long tubular member in the form of a tube 6 housing a spring member 3 , a cord 8 fixed to the spring member 3 and extending outside the tube 6 , and a clip 10 connected to the cord 8 outside the tube 6 .

[0030] The tube 6 has a longitudinally elongated cavity 14 through which the spring element 3 is guided, and an open end 16 through which the cord 8 passes. The opposite end 22 of the tube 6 is preferably closed, but can be left open if desired. Open end 16 may be provided with cap 7 secured to tube 6 by screwing, gluing or otherwise. The advantage of having the cap 7 separate from the tube 6 is that the cap 7 can be removed for easy placement, maintenance or repair of the spring member 3 and cord 8 is easier.

[0031] The open end 16 advantageously has a smooth inner surface 42 , possibly with a rounded lip 43 to facilitate sliding of the cord 8 into and...

Abstract

The tubular self-retracting device (2) has an elongated tubular element (6) having an open end, a cord (8) extending through the open end and fitting in the tubular element (6), a clipping element (10) attached to the cord (8) outside the tubular element (6) and an elongated spring means (3) mounted inside the tubular element (6), for urging the cord (8) inside the tubular element (6).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices for carrying objects, and in particular to tubular self-retracting devices having elongated spring members. Background technique [0002] A variety of retractable devices have been proposed to hold and carry smaller personal items on a user, such as keys, badges, and the like. Typically, these devices clip onto an item of clothing to free the user's hands so he / she can complete other tasks. [0003] The need for such a device can be easily understood. For example, a golf player often needs to clean his / her golf balls during a game. Typically a towel attached to his / her golf bag is used for this purpose. Thus, he / she has little freedom of movement and must learn to reach the handkerchief. As another example, runners often use towels to wipe their faces during exercise. Now they have to keep the towel in hand or carry it in a backpack or belt pocket which is very uncomfortable. There are many other situation...
