    Building costume wings; need a pull-cord mechanism that locks, pull to retract
    Hello!

    I'm building a pair of costume wings, and I need to find a mechanism that will allow me to do the following:

    1) Raise the wings by pulling on a cord or cable
    2) Lock in place at a certain length
    3) Retract upon pulling again

    Any suggestions (and links to specific products) would be very much appreciated!


    Thank you,

    Chance
