Abstract
An assembly for storing a line in a coil in a storage room with a bottom and walls, as well as a central, upper opening to guide the line while it is being lead into or out of the storage room. The assembly comprising a central, round pole extending upward from the bottom of the room toward the central opening, and a guiding head mounted on top of the pole. The guiding head is shaped with such lateral dimensions in relation to the axis of the pole that the horizontal dimension is larger that the central opening. When the line is introduced to the storage room through the central opening, the line usually hits the head and is deflected so as to form the coil.
