Abstract
A reeling device for hoses or cables, whereby the reeling device (1) comprises a non-rotatable member (5), a member (3) which is rotatably mounted thereon and which rotates during unrolling or reeling of the hose or cable (2), a spring device (22) for rotating the rotatable member (3) in a reeling direction for reeling or winding up the hose or cable (2) and a viscosity brake (25) for slowing down the rotary speed of the rotatable member (3) when said rotatable member is rotated in the reeling direction by the spring device. The viscosity brake (25) includes a stationary brake housing (26) which is mounted on members (38) of or connected to the non-rotatable member (5) and the viscosity brake (25) has a movable member (27) which is located inside the brake housing (26) and which includes a movement-transfer device (32) which is provided outside the brake housing (26) for obtaining movement-transfer cooperation between the rotatable member (3) and the movable member (27) of the viscosity brake (25).
