Abstract of EP0300395
In the device for storing an electrical connecting cable, which is connected between a portable, battery-powered programme source, which may be a small stereo unit, a cassette player and/or a radio receiver and is normally a so-called Walkman in all its forms, and the headphones or earphones connected to this programme unit, it is proposed that a separate cassette is provided which accommodates at least part of this connecting cable by means of a take-up arrangement and has its own enclosed form of casing, and that this cassette is attached, preferably locked into place, by means of mechanical locking means and/or electrical connecting means, which may also simultaneously form the mechanical locking means, to the casing of the programme unit. The take-up arrangement is preferably designed so that it automatically draws in the cable, but can hold it without tension by means of a mechanical fixing device when extended to any given length.
