Abstract
An auto-feed/rewind electric cord reel device for controlling a power supply cord of an appliance includes a reel bracket on which a cord reel is rotatably mounted. A motor bracket is movably mounted in relation to the reel bracket and a linkage connects the reel bracket to the motor bracket. A first motor is included for selectively actuating the linkage and moving the motor bracket in relation to the reel bracket. A second motor is included and is spaced from the first motor. An assembly is driven by the second motor for selectively rotating the cord reel in at least one direction.
