Abstract
A winding-up attachment for a long, flexible element, in particular a hose, comprises a rotatable drum for winding-up and for unwinding the element. A return device rotates the drum in the winding-up direction or in the unwinding direction, respectively. It comprises an automatic brake for stopping the winding-up process or the unwinding process, respectively, at a predetermined rotary stop position of the drum in which the element has been wound up or unwound, respectively, in full, except for a defined residual length. The brake comprises a winding-up device that rotates together with the drum and winds/unwinds an elongated, flexible braking element, e.g. a cord. The braking element is wound about an outer surface of the drum in several windings. One terminal end of the braking element is connected with a circumferential surface of the drum. The braking element is sized such that when the drum reaches the predetermined stop position, it is stopped by a tension force within the braking element. A section, in particular a winding, of the braking element is lifted off the peripheral surface of the drum and is guided around a stationary deflection point.
