Abstract

A cable winding device for an electrical unit, in particular, for a vacuum cleaner, is described. The cable winding device has a cable drum, rotatably mounted on a fixed support piece, with a locking element. After the release of the locking element the cable drum may be driven in the winding-in direction by a drive. The release of the locking element occurs by an electrically-operated release mechanism.
