An object of the invention is to provide a lead storage apparatus in which the lead extension range within which the lead can be extended and retracted can be selected by a user operation. A lead storage apparatus 10 comprises a reel 50, a rotating member 130 incorporating an engagement target section 132 and an engagement member 70, wherein by engaging an engaging section 74 with the engagement target section 132, rotation of the rotating member 130 in the forward direction of the reel 50 can be inhibited. A switching member 140 is provided which enables switching between an engageable state in which the engagement target section 132 and the engaging section 74 can engage, and a non-engageable state in which the engagement target section 132 and the engaging section 74 cannot engage.本發明之課題在於提供一種拉繩收納裝置，其可藉由使用者之操作，而選擇可拉出及捲取拉繩之拉繩拉出範圍。為達成目的之解決手段係提供一種拉繩收納裝置10，其具有捲軸50、設有被卡合部132的旋轉構件130、以及卡合構件70，藉由使卡合部74卡合於被卡合部132，而可以限制與旋轉構件130之捲軸50之正方向旋轉連動的旋轉；並設有切換構件140，可以在可卡合狀態及不可卡合狀態間進行切換，可卡合狀態係被卡合部132與卡合部74可卡合之狀態，不可卡合狀態係被卡合部132與卡合部74不可卡合之狀態。
