Abstract
Disclosed is a cord winder for a vacuum cleaner which is easily operated and reduces the volume of the vacuum cleaner. The cord winder has a reel for winding the power cord thereon, an actuator rod formed integrally with a button, and a stopper rod with a stopper wheel guided horizontally along a guide channel by the actuator rod, thereby braking the rotation of the reel. When the user presses the button, the actuator rod goes downward. Then, the inclined surface of the actuator rod slides along the inclined surface of the stopper rod, while pushing the stopper rod leftward, and thereby releasing the rigid contact between the stopper wheel and the reel.
