Cord caddy

摘要

A cord caddy for carrying or storing a dispensable length of cord wherein the cord caddy includes a multi-layered reel disposed within an open-faced pan shaped housing. The cord or other flexible member will be coiled about the reel in upper and lower chambers thereof so as to be unwound (dispensed) therefrom whenever it is desired to use the extension cord. The reel will be free to oscillate within the housing during the dispensing of the cord therefrom. A cord stake will fix one free end of the cord while the opposite end is pulled so that during oscillation of the reel within the housing the housing will partake of the sliding translatory motion along the ground a distance that amounts to one-half of the total length of the cord exiting from the housing. The cord is free to rotate within the housing during the dispensing of the cord therefrom. Rewinding may be conveniently accomplished by taking the cord stake and inserting it through the reel and housing to fix the housing to the ground and prevent the reel from oscillating within the housing. A handle on the reel will rotate the reel about the stake and produces the rewinding (collecting) of the cord simultaneously in the upper and lower chambers of the reel from which it was dispensed.
