Abstract:
A retractable power cord assembly, which may be incorporated into the rear cover of a steam iron, has two cord-receiving cavity sections. To increase the capacity of the assembly, the first section is so narrow that turns of the power cord wound into the first section are confined to be wrapped one on top of the other whereas the second section is sufficiently wide that the turns accumulate more randomly within the second section. A hand crank is pivotally mounted on the assembly housing.
