REEL UNWINDING AND WINDING CONTROL
An electrical cord reel assembly can include a spool configured to wind and unwind an electrical cord therefrom. The electrical cord reel assembly can include a motor configured to rotate the spool to wind and unwind the electrical cord about the spool. The electrical cord reel assembly can include a controller in electrical communication with the motor and the electrical cord. The controller can be configured to, in response to an unwind command, place or maintain the electrical cord in a power off state. The controller can be configured to in response to the unwind command, transmit an unwind signal to the motor to cause the motor to unwind the electrical cord from the spool. The controller can be configured to automatically place the electrical cord in a power on state based at least in part on an amount of rotation of the spool during the unwinding.
Cord reel device and electronic device
The cord reel device includes a reel body provided with a rotation shaft, a housing that stores inside the reel body in a rotatable manner, and a cord which is wound around the reel body so as to be extractable and which is extracted to an outside through an opening of the housing. The reel body has disk-shaped members on a plane perpendicular to the rotation shaft, and the cord is stored in a space formed between the disk-shaped members. A guide section inclined relative to the rotation shaft of the reel body is provided around peripheries of the disk-shaped members of the reel body. While the cord is wound around the reel body, the guide section guides the cord to the rotation shaft of the reel body.

Hair foil dispenser
A hair foil dispenser (100) has a main casing (101); a removable covering (200); a roller arrangement including a driving roller (142) and a tensioning roller (140) for pulling foil (300) from a foil roll (320); a motor (830) provided to drive the driving roller (142); a cutting mechanism (160) for cutting at least one sheet of the foil (300) with a predetermined length; a proximity sensor (100, 810); and a control unit (500) provided to receive at least one signal from the proximity sensor and, upon sensing the presence of a user, to actuate the motor (830) to cause the roller arrangement to pull foil from the foil roll (320); and to actuate the cutting mechanism to cut the foil. The user can repetitively direct the dispenser to dispense a predetermined number of the foil sheets without requiring physical contact of the dispenser by the user.
