The length of paracord is disposed in the body and has one end extended through the through-hole. The paracord was backstacked into the body.
Claims21
A cord dispenser comprising:
- a body having an inner chamber, a closed bottom and a body sidewall connected to the bottom and extending upward from the bottom, the inner chamber containing a length of cord, the cord having first and second cord ends;
- a first through-hole through which the first cord end is extended and through which the cord is dispensed for use in any general purpose application;
- a chemical light retaining mechanism rigidly affixed to the body of the dispenser, the retaining mechanism including a first portion of a channel integrally formed into the body sidewall and extending longitudinally upward along the body sidewall, the first portion of channel sized to receive, removably secure and protect a chemical light from inadvertent activation during handling of the cord dispenser;
- and
- a second through-hole through which the second cord end is extended and operable to be securely attached to the chemical light;
- wherein the chemical light can be removed from the retaining mechanism and used with the attached cord to provide a Buzz-Saw signal.

A cord dispenser comprising:
- a body having an inner chamber containing a length of cord, the cord having first and second cord ends;
- a first through-hole through which the first cord end is extended and through which the cord is dispensed for use in any general purpose application;
- a chemical light retaining mechanism rigidly affixed to the body of the dispenser, the retaining mechanism sized to removably secure and protect a chemical light from inadvertent activation during handling of the cord dispenser;
- a second through-hole through which the second cord end is extended and operable to be securely attached to the chemical light, wherein the chemical light can be removed from the retaining mechanism and used with the attached cord to provide a Buzz-Saw signal;
- and
- a stop device fastened to the cord, the stop device being sized to prevent any further dispensing of cord through the first through-hole once the stop device is engaged with the first through-hole, the stop device being positioned on the cord to allow a length of cord to be dispensed through the second through-hole to provide a Buzz-Saw signal even when the stop device is engaged with the first through-hole.
