Abstract
A holder for storing and dispensing an elongated flexible member, such as a rope, hose or electrical extension cord. A planar elongated handle member has a pair of planar parallel cross members, around which the flexible member is stored, extending perpendicularly therefrom and intermediate the ends thereof. Each cross member has a spring loaded end piece selectively pivotally movable between a closed position in which the flexible member is retained on the holder and an open position, perpendicular to the closed position, in which the flexible member can be rapidly removed from the holder.
Claims6
A holder for storing and dispensing an elongated flexible member, comprising:
- an elongated planar handle member having a pair of substantially parallel spaced apart planar transverse support arms projecting from one side and intermediate the ends thereof;
- each said support arm having a retaining arm pivotally mounted at the free end thereof for planar movement between an open position in longitudinal alignment with its respective said support arm and a closed position perpendicular to said respective said support arm so as to provide retainers for a said flexible member wound onto said support arms, and including tension means mounted between each said support arm and its respective retaining arm so as to resiliently retain said retaining arm in a selected one of said open and closed positions.
