Abstract: A holder device for use in coiling an elongate material e.g. a wire, cable, rope or the like, has a pair of opposed side walls extending upwardly from a base portion and forming with the base portion an upwardly open recess for receiving successive turns of the coiled elongate material. The base portion includes a base extension portion which projects beyond the side walls and the recess. A strap portion is provided for securing the turns of the elongate material in the recess and is connected at one end thereof to one side of the base extension. A strap retainer portion is provided at an opposite side of the base extension portion and is engageable with the strap portion for securing the turns of the elongate material in the recess, the strap portion and the strap portion retainer being offset from the side walls so as to avoid obstruction of the strap portion by the side walls.
