Abstract
A portable device for reeling in and paying out cables, such as jumper cables, which includes a casing, a pair of annular housing elements mounted for rotation relative to the casing, each of the annular housing elements having central hub portions which abut and are locked together for joint rotation. A groove is provided between the abutting faces of the hub portions in which there is received the central portion of each of the two jumper cables or the like. These cables are held together in the groove in clamped relation. Openings are provided in opposite sides of the casing for cables entering and leaving the casing, and suitable anchoring means may be provided in the interior of the casing to lock the clips on the ends of the cables interiorly of the casing to prevent dangling.
