Abstract
A self re-coiling reeling assembly (1) has a pawl (12), which co-acts with a slotted cam plate (16, 17) and a sliding cam plate. The pawl (12) can arrest the re-reeling action by engagement in a slot (18, 19) in the slotted cam plate. Movement of a sliding cam plate (21) adjusts the lengths of the slots (18, 19). This adjustment determines the re-coil speed at which latching takes place. This adjustment can also prevent latching.
