Abstract
A spooling apparatus includes a housing, a spool received in the housing so that the spool can be rotated from an original position by an external force and automatically returned to the original position when released from the external force, a rope wound on the spool and a tension-controlling device received in the housing for controlling the tension of the rope in order to control the speed of the rope when wound back onto the spool. Furthermore, the spooling apparatus includes a braking device for slowing down the speed of the rope.
