The present invention relates to an improved cord-winding device universally mountable to any front or rear North-American-style license plate bracket, accommodating all electrical devices, which require a 120VAC power supply for a vehicle. The present invention comprises; a housing containing: a reel, a connection box, a male cord housing, a cord hatch and mounting holes, a closure plate and a universal mounting plate. A female receptacle extends from the housing to allow electrical connections to be made in a place away from weather exposure such as engine or rear compartment. The universal license plate cord winder of the present invention can thereby be mounted either from the top or the bottom of housing without compromising the structural integrity of the attachment while maintaining a water tightness required by such a device.

1. A universal license plate cord winder comprising:a. a housing having: i. an inner molded spindle, ii. a plurality of elongated mounting screw holes having hole extensions, iii. a plurality of screw assembly receivers, iv. a splatter guard, v. an elongated slot for receiving a knob, vi. a receptacle cord, vii. a wiring inner housing, viii. cord to housing connecting member, ix. an upper spring guide, and x. a hatch guide, b. a hatch assembly having; i. a hatch, ii. and knob, and a mounting plate, and iii. a spring, c. a closure plate having: i. hole-extension receiving members and perforations therethrough for receiving fasteners in assembly, ii. a lower spring guide, and ii. a hatch guide, d. a power conductive path having: j. a power-on indicator light, ii. a reel assembly having a rotary spring coil and electrical raceway for continuous conductivity, iii. a male cord end, and iv. a length of extension cord in communication with both male cord end and an electrical raceway fixedly integrated outside the reel's surface, e. a universal mounting plate having: i. a generally planar surface, ii. perpendicularly protruding members circumferentially extending rearwardly form said planar surface, iii. extension members circumferentially extending outwardly from an edge of the protruding members distal from the planar surface, and iv. a plurality of mounting perforations through said mounting plate in general alignment with mounting perforation of the housing and closure plate. 2. The universal license plate cord winder of claim 1 wherein the elongated mounting screw holes of the housing comprise hole extensions adapted to frictionally engage within elongated mounting screw hole receivers on the closure plate so as to create water tight joinery between said housing and closure plate.3. The universal license plate cord winder of claim 1 wherein the extension members extend to a dimension generally equal to a license plate.4. The universal license plate cord winder of claim 3 wherein all four corners of the mounting plate are removed in order to allow a slidable insertion of said mounting plate into a license plate brackets.5. The universal license plate cord winder of any one of claims 1 to 3 wherein a female connector is extended from the housing so as to allow the connection to a load to be made within a vehicle engine compartment or rear compartment.6. The universal license plate cord winder of any one of claims 1-3 wherein the spring of the hatch assembly has a spring load of a greater force than a load exerted from the rotary spring coil of the reel assembly within the housing.7. The universal license plate cord winder of claim 6 wherein the hatch may thereby act as a brake.8. The universal license plate cord winder of any one of claims 1-3 wherein the cord winder is arranged in combination with a license plate on a vehicle to enable a connection to an electrical load within a vehicle compartment so as to protect the connection from exposure to weather elements.
