I'm not sure the make of the recoil I have(No markings). It's nice because it came enclosed in its own casing. I still would like to beef it up some. I'll get around to installing some cordage and take some pics.
Spring Loaded Retractable Webbing Lanyard?

I built a similiar version of the dogleash setup but a bit more streamlined. Jimmy has the second one I built, he seems to like it. Pictures and more details coming soon.
The problem with the dog leash setup for lowering line retrieval is their limited length of 15 feet.
However by converting a Spencer Logging Tape, which is self retracting, I can now retrieve my lowering line myself from up to 50 feet away!
Note the plastic shower curtain hanger that I thread my lowering line through prior to tying off whatever I'm lowering.

Slim Southern Comfort cousins, that's what an arborist needs to slither through very tight situations without snagging or discomfort from yankee bumps on my back foiling my battle plans up north.
Think linear folding with compound retraction points on your right D ring, going behind your saddle to your left D-ring, where the webbing is anchored by its tail, but also serves as the exit and entrance for your linear folds of lanyard in a pliable rectangulated corridor behind your saddle from waist D ring to waist D ring. On my saddle, about 20 inches. So two retraction points will allow me 4 folds of webbing X 20 inches equals 80 inches of self retracting webbing at 6.5 feet.
So doubling that gives me 13 feet with 4 retraction bungees traveling a twenty inch corridor behind me containing all the webbing and retraction mechanisms in one pliant unit les than 2 inches thick, and 3 inches tall. Exclusive of the cam lock on the left D ring that feeds in both directions into and out of the waist housing along the saddle's back. Estimated weight 2-3 lbs.

Can you take pics of it while wearing it?
Extension and retraction pics?
YOur description sounds like the language used in patent descriptions.

Kinda sorta somewhat like uh this...

i still don't get it???????
Strategically placed web rollers in a staggered step feed pattern, 123 on the left side.
Linkage, bungees and a roof. Yes, rollers one sees the most action on the bottom. Then roller two when one is fully deployed, yes. Then roller three on top only sees action when webbing is fully deployed only.
I'll have to vid this to illustrate such a simple concept. But 'm quite confident it'll work and weigh very little.
The staggered roller feeds are the key to unfettered full deployment in a sequential order that reverses and coils itself 3, 2, 1.
Yes this should be a lighter sleeker package capable of storing up to twenty feet of two inch wide webbing with five rollers in the same staggered feed into my left D ring's cam locker.
Three roller should be ready to vid tomorrow.
This design can't be novel, no way.

Think of an olympic running track. Lane 1, lane 2, lane 3. Then add vertical walls and slice the tack neatly in half looking dowm upon it. Three enclosed lanes around the back of your saddle.
Since it works sorta kinda somewhat like a fiddle block, I've decided to call my new mutation a Fiddler's Saddle.
I had to reverse the feed order to the outer lane feeding first, and the innermost lane feeding last at full extension.
The way the passive rollers stack up at the exit and become a series of three idler arms in such a neat stack is kinda nifty too.

Yes, much like Michael Caine in The Man Who Would Be King.
One! Two! Tree!
Outside rank! Fire!

J,
When you link pics would you keep them to about 65o pixels wide? Otherwise it messes up the page formatting. while you're editing...how about rotating? Its hard to keep flipping my laptop on its side all of the time...hahahhaah
I get the retraction issue...now...explain the clutch? A pass through seatbelt type thing?
And...The Man Who Would be King? Great read...fun movie..but the connection here? I missed it???
