The reel includes a motor coupled to a drive shaft and configured to rotate the drive shaft in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction. A drive assembly is disposed on the drive shaft and rotation of the drive shaft in the first direction moves the drive assembly along the drive shaft and into engagement with the spool. Rotation of the drive shaft in the second direction moves the drive assembly along the drive shaft and out of engagement with the spool. When the drive assembly is engaged with the spool, the drive assembly rotates the spool in a windup direction. When the drive assembly is out of engagement with the spool, the spool may be rotated manually in an unwind direction without encountering resistance from the motor.       Recently Added Patents Video-information encoding method and video-information decoding method Attachment device for elongated member Airbag and airbag device Semiconductor memory device and memory cell voltage application method Potassium ion channel modulators and uses thereof Image processing apparatus and image processing method Semiconductor device, method for manufacturing of semiconductor device, and switching circuit   Randomly Featured Patents Sealable toner recovery box for an image forming machine System and method for managing television programs within an entertainment system Mask and method for forming a semiconductor device using the same Method of effecting heating and cooling in reduced pressure atmosphere Imaging apparatus for enhancing appearance of image data Second order nonlinear optical polyimides having benzobisthiazole-based pendant groups, and preparation of the same Teat cup shell Dual variable camber compressor stator vane Cable tester Auto-tensioner for belt systems and a method for adjusting tension degree © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
