Abstract
A cord reel wherein the cord is rendered operative only for such time as the cord is substantially unwound from the reel; when the cord is operative the reel is locked to prevent the cord being wound thereon. In the preferred embodiment the cord is rendered inoperative by capturing a cord connector at the hub end of the reel in a hub compartment, the compartment having a shutter interconnected with the reel lock. The captured connector when released may be drawn from the compartment to connect the cord to a convenience receptacle.
