Retractable console cords
<< < (3/3)
Lilwolf:
How far out do you want/need them to go?  If they are about 3 feet high.. and you want them to go out lets say about 6 feet... (notice the original dimension doubling).

How about this...

add a pully just inside the whole that the cord goes though.  Then add a weight (on a loop).

so when you let go of the controller, the weight drags the controller cord down... and bringing the controller up to the whole.

The trouble would be getting it to stop pulling when its all the way out.  You might be able to get something to add extra friction until you release it. 

But the basic idea is there.  I have no idea if it would be doable.... But it should be MUCH cheaper..  and it might just work.
