Strap coiling mechanism

A mechanism for quickly and easily forming an elongated strap into a uniform coil comprising:

• a. a first crank portion including an elongated spool means having a radial crank arm rigidly secured to one end thereof and a slot parallel to the axis of the opposite end thereof,
• b. first handle means secured to the outer end of the crank arm extending outwardly therefrom along an axis approximately parallel to the axis of the spool means,
• c. ejection and guide means removably mounted upon the spool means of the crank portion having a hollow cylindrical handle section shorter than the spool means for slideably receiving the spool means and located with one end abutting the inner end of the crank arm and a guide plate secured to the cylindrical section at the end opposite the abuttment with the crankarm and extending radially outwardly therefrom whereby the first end of a strap may be inserted in the slot of the spool adjacent the guide means, the user may grasp each of the handles and cause relative rotation thereof coiling the strap about the spool and upon completion of the coiling cause the two portions to move relatively axially to eject the coiled strap from the spool means.
