Abstract
An adjustable length, releasable holder for rope, cord, and other flaccid materials, comprising a longitudinal member into which is inserted an insertion member. The length of insertion is adjustable and immediately releasable. Winding posts with right angles provide for winding the materials about the invention. A handle eases transport or hanging of the invention. Release of the wing screw allows for coiled materials to be instantly released from the invention, thereby saving time and dangerous situations that sometimes arise with ropes and the like.
Claims6
An adjustable dimension holder for rope, cord, and the like, the holder comprising:
- a hollow parallelepiped longitudinal member having a first end, a second end, and a length therebetween;
- a winding post attached proximal to the first end of the longitudinal member, the winding post perpendicular to the length of the longitudinal member;
- an parallelepiped insertion member, the insertion member having a first end, a second end, and a length therebetween, the first end of the insertion member removably and slideably inserted into the second end of the longitudinal member;
- a winding post attached proximal to the second end of the insertion member, the winding post perpendicular to the length of the insertion member, the winding post coplanar to the winding post of the longitudinal member;
- a threaded nut affixed to the second end of the longitudinal member, the thread of the nut perpendicular to the length of the horizontal member;
- an orifice in the longitudinal member, the orifice immediately adjacent to the thread of the nut;
- a wing screw for removable insertion into the nut,
- whereby the wing screw is tightened against a surface of the insertion member, thereby temporarily establishing the length of insertion of the insertion member within the longitudinal member,
- thereby temporarily fixing the length between the winding posts,
- whereby the rope, the cord, or the like is removably wound about the winding posts of the holder.
