  • Patent number: 6286777
    Abstract: An extension cord storage and dispensing system for conveniently dispensing, accumulating and storing various lengths of one or more extension cords without significant entanglement occurring. The inventive device includes a frame having a first end, a middle portion and a second end, the frame includes a first spool and a second spool, a U-shaped cutout extending into a side of the frame, a handle attached to the frame opposite of the U-shaped cutout, and a pair of knobs rotatably attached to the first end and the second end of the frame. The pair of knobs are held by the user while the frame freely rotates upon the knobs thereby allowing the extension cord or other elongated object to be easily dispensed. When accumulating the extension cord after utilization, the user positions the inner portion of their elbow within the U-shaped cutout and grasps the handle with their hand thereby providing adequate leverage for the user while winding the extension cord about one of the spools.
