Abstract: A device for receiving, storing and redispensing a flexible elongated article having a circular cross-section with a generally uniform diameter such as a rope, electrical cord or hose is provided. The devices have a body portion containing a slot for sequentially receiving single loops of the elongated article. A bracket, slot or aperture is provided as means for attaching the device to a supporting surface. The supporting surface can be a wall or post, a belt worn around the waist of a person, or, in the case of an electrical cord, a portion of the cord adjacent to an electrical appliance to which it is attached. The width of the slot at its narrowest portion is sufficiently less than the diameter of the elongated article to restrain movement thereof along the lineal axis of the elongated article while permitting insertion and removal of the article in said slot in a direction perpendicular to that axis.
