  • Storage receptacle for Christmas lights and accessories
    Patent number: 5653339
    Abstract: A storage receptacle especially useful for containing Christmas lighting and accessories has at least one cordage member for supporting and securing strands of Christmas lights. The cordage member has a handle with opposite terminal ends. Opposing walls of the receptacle have top edges with spaced slots formed therein. The terminal ends of the handle are bent obliquely relative to the longitudinal axis of the cordage member so that the slots can receive the ends when the cordage member is positioned within the receptacle. The cordage member is reversible and interchangeable. The receptacle has a lock for securing a top so that the contents of the receptacle may be safely stowed away.
