Light hanging device and method

Abstract

The present invention provides a mechanism for spooling or reeling light strings and other stringed items onto a spool or reel. A spool is fitted with a suitable mechanism for receiving an extension pole (of varying or adjustable lengths, such as, e.g., a pole with discreet add-on or telescoping section lengths). Preferably the pole is removable from the spool. One or more strings may be spooled onto the spool. To aid in spooling, the side of the spool opposite the pole could be configured with a handle mechanism to assist in rotating the spool. The user can also obtain a spool that has already been spooled with the desired string. The present invention also relates generally to a convenient device and method for storing such stringed items between use. A method is also disclosed for using a pole-mounted spool for deploying light strings and other stringed items onto an object.
