Abstract
An electrical extension particularly for use in a motor vehicle: a cylindrical cable storage container having two cables coiled therein. The cables are connected in series. The first cable is stored as a plurality of spiral turns arranged in a substantially flat disk in the bottom of the container. The second, less flexible cable is stored as a plurality of coils arranged one on top of the other against the interior wall of the container. The second cable is played out initially from the container for connection to an external power source. The first cable is connected to an electrical unit within the vehicle. The container may be stored behind the grille and under the hood of a vehicle. A operable cover sealed to and over the container may be pivoted to the hood.
