Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a cable drum for automatically winding up a cable having an inner drum part ( 2 ), an outer drum part ( 1 ) and a back panel ( 3 ). The inner drum part ( 2 ) is connected to a hollow cylindrical link ( 23 ), whose inner wall has at least one vaulting ( 24 ), wherein a brake lever ( 6 ) is mounted in a radially moveable manner to the back panel ( 3 ), having at least one slot hole ( 63 ), in which the axis ( 71 ) of a brake wheel ( 7 ) is guided, which protrudes into the link ( 23 ) and abuts on its inner wall, wherein the at least one slot hole ( 63 ) is positioned angularly in a way that the brake wheel ( 7 ) during rotation of the link ( 23 ) is pressed against the inner wall of the link in winding direction of the cable drum and wherein a locking element is arranged at the brake lever ( 6 ) downstream of the brake wheel ( 7 ) in winding direction of the cable drum, which interacts with at least one tuck bar arranged at the inner drum part ( 2 ) in a manner that it is only locked when passing the tuck bar in winding direction of the cable drum.
