A coiled article retainer assembly comprising a generally planar rectangular body, including a main body portion having an outlet member secured thereon for an electric cord, garden hose, or other like transmission member for initial power, fluid, or signal sources, secured thereon. The retainer assembly has two arms, spaced from and generally parallel to opposite side margins of the main body portion, defining an upper handle and a lower coiled article retaining slot. The retainer assembly is provided with a hook or hole at each opposite end margin for convenient storage by hanging on a nail, hook, rafter or the like. A keeper assembly, comprising a two way flap-type valve, is disposed at the open end of the retainer slot. The keeper assembly permits the paying in or out of individual coils by normal force exerted by hand, yet has sufficient resistance to restrain individual coils of a coiled article from falling out of a fully loaded slot due the weight of the coils when the retainer assembly is stored or used in the normal "keeper down" position. An alternate embodiment provides for a light source secured to the outlet for convenience of the user at the job site. Another alternate embodiment combines the coiled article retainer framework with a sprinkler head for use with a garden hose. The framework may also have a detachable stand for stabilizing the sprinkler head when in use at the job site.
