Dual electric cord reels with an open-slotted mutual middle wheel or a fenestrated mutual middle wheel
When one wants to store an electric cord he/she first has to start to store electric cord either from plug end or socket end. And when he/she wants to use electric cord he/she has to unwind electric cord all the way to expose both plug end and socket end for use. Dual electric cord reels with an open-slotted mutual middle wheel or a fenestrated mutual middle wheel can store the plug side of electric cord in one side of its reel and socket side at the other side of its reel with both plug end and socket end exposed outside. Therefore one can unwind plug end and socket end of electric cord simultaneously to the length he/she needs for use and does not have to unwind whole electric cord for use.
When we use reel to store long electric cord we have to start to store either the plug end first or the socket end first. In this way either the plug end or the socket end is hidden at the inner most part of the reel. And when we want to use it we have to unwind electric cord all the way to the inner most end to expose both plug for use. Dual electric cord reels with an open-slotted mutual middle wheel or a fenestrated mutual middle wheel which has two reels connect together and share one mutual middle wheel which has an open slot or a fenestration can solve this problem. After inserting the middle portion of one electric cord to the open slot of open-slotted mutual middle wheel or inserting either plug end or socket end through the fenestration of fenestrated mutual middle wheel to half way of electric cord one can wind dual electric reel to store simultaneously plug side of electric cord at one side of dual electric cord reels and the socket side of electric cord at the other side with both plug and socket exposed outside for storage. When one wants to use electric cord he/she unwinds dual electric cord reels to simultaneously both plug side and socket side to the length needed for use and does not have to release whole electric cord to expose both plug end and socket end for use.
THE BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONDual electric cod reels comprise two electric cord reels which connect together and share one mutual middle wheel which has an open slot or a fenestration. The open slot of mutual middle wheel is opened through about half way to three-fourths length of wheel to allow electric cord to pass. The fenestration of mutual middle wheel is large enough to pass plug or socket of electric cord. When one wants to store an electric cord in dual electric cord reels he/she first inserts the middle part of electric cord into the slot or passes plug or socket of electric cord to half way of electric cord and then winds dual electric reels to store the plug side of electric cord in one side and socket side of electric cord in another side of dual electric cord reels. When one wants to use electric cord he/she unwinds simultaneous the plug side and socket side of electric cord to the length of electric cord he/she needs for use and does not have to unwind whole cord to expose both plug end and socket end for use.
