HOLDER TO MAINTAIN A CONTINUOUS ELONGATED FLEXIBLE MATERIALS IN A COILED ORIENTATION

摘要

A holder to maintain elongated flexible materials in a coiled orientation, has at least one coil support assembly. Each coil support assembly has a first support and a second support. At least one roller is supported by the first support. The second support is positioned in spaced linear relation to the first support. The first support and the second support are capable of relative linear movement toward each other and away from each other. At least one roller is supported by the second support. A linear stop limits movement of the first support and the second support away from each other. A retraction mechanism biases the first support and the second support away from each other.
