Air Hose and Electrical Cord Organizer

A hand-carried utility device for the storage and dispensing of air hose or electrical cord (FIG. 1) comprising:

• a single framework consisting of two opposing sides, or arms, at the top end, one arm of which is linear and terminates at a raised tongue-like projection to facilitate piggyback storage, and an opposing arm that terminates in a 180 degree outward-turned hook-like fashion thus creating a catch area that guides the hose or cord into an elongated slot of preset width, between the opposing arms, thereby facilitating concentric take-up and play-out (FIGS. 2a and 4);
• whereas the hook provides a means for hanging the unit when in storage, a receptor slot, or groove, at the apex of hanger aids to secure multiple racks for piggyback storage (FIG. 3);
• an inverted V-shaped catch at the bottom of the framework helps secure the hose or cord to the framework wherein a curvilinear base provides an above-knee rest that facilitates take-up (FIG. 2c);
• an opening within the framework above the bottom catch provides a starting point for taking-up the hose or cord and secures the male or female end for easy access at the job site when only partial play-out is necessary (FIG. 2c);
• and the solid framework forms a broad handle that separates the two ends of the device (FIG. 2b) and that, with practice, can allow for rapid dispensing and take-up using a figure-eight or hand-over-hand motion.
