Abstract
A cable recoil device includes a cable recoil device body, a pulley, a pulley yoke, a spring, and a cable. The pulley yoke is mounted to the pulley that is positioned within the cable recoil device body and has a wheel shaped body. The spring is connected to the cable recoil device body and to the pulley yoke. The cable is wound at least partially around a circumference of the wheel shaped body. When the cable recoil device is mounted for use in a device, the first end of the cable is connected to a body of the device and the second end of the cable is connected to a door of the device that moves relative to the body of the device. The spring provides tension on the pulley such that it lengthens when the door is opened and contracts when the door is closed.
