  • Patent number: 6099060
    Abstract: A frame-like carrier for a plurality of various sized, stretchable, elastic bungee cords. The carrier has at least three spaced apart cross arms for supporting bungee cords in an organized and compact manner between any two of the cross arms. The cross arms are appropriately spaced such that commercially available sizes of bungee cords are supported on the carrier in a slightly stretched condition. Thus, the cords are supported under enough tension on the carrier to resist disengagement and maintain proper positioning, yet a small enough amount of tension to prevent an accidently disengaged cord from creating a hazard as it snaps back into a non-tensioned condition.
