ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A telephone extension cord winding apparatus comprises a hollow body that mounts a centrally projecting, fixed shaft about which is wrapped a length of flat telephone cable, the outer end of which extends to a telephone fitting mounted on the body and the inner, connector end of which extends vertically upward adjacent the shaft. A cord reel rotatably engages the shaft and directly overlies the flat telephone cable, the inner end of the cable passing upward through an opening provided in the overlying wall of the reel and into a space provided between an encircling ring and the shaft where the cable is secured to the reel and connected at its outer end to a telephone extension cord preferably approximately twice the length of the flat cable. The extension cord passes out of the reel and the housing body and mounts a conventional telephone jack on its outer terminal end. A spring engages the reel to tension it in the direction of the cord windings. As the extension cord is withdrawn from the housing body, the flat cable is unwound with the rotation of the reel until it is contained in the space between the reel and the housing body as a completely unwound, loose coil. This confining space permits only a 180° twist of the connector portion of the cable along its length extending upwardly through the opening in the reel as the cable changes directions of wrapping and is rewound in the opposite direction about the shaft by continued rotation of the reel as the longer extension cord continues to be withdrawn.
