- a passageway extending diametrically through a diameter of the coil and the center hole thereof;
- a rod extending through the passageway in the coil;
- and
- means mounted at the opposite ends of the rod for retaining the flexible material in the coiled configuration.
A method of retaining flexible materials in a coiled configuration of concentric loops in a horizontal plane comprising the steps of:
- forming a passageway diametrically through a diameter of the coil of flexible material;
- providing a rod;
- extending the rod through the passageway in the coil of flexible material;
- providing at least one fastener;
- and
- securing the fastener on one end of the rod and thereby retaining the length of flexible material in the coiled configuration.
