The holder for releasably storing flexible cord (10) and the like in a manner for dispensing in a tangle free condition. This holder has an elongated body member fabricated from a pair of substantially identical body portions (16, 18) pivotally connected at their junction (20). A releasable clasp (26) at this junction maintains the body portions in an aligned orientation during cord storage, or pivoted with respect to each other for completely dispensing the stored cord. A transverse passageway (24) positioned at this pivot point releasably grasps of the cord therein. Projecting substantially perpendicular from the body portions at opposite ends are a pair of handles (34, 36), and disposed from these handles toward the central juncture are a pair of posts (42, 44), one on each body portion, lying in the same plane as the handles and inclined away from each other. These posts provide for the storage of the cord in figure-8 loops. The outward ends of the posts are provided with hooks (46, 48) directed away from each other to assist in maintaining the cord on the posts during winding and storage. Because the cord is held at a mid-point in the body member, the cord can be withdrawn from the posts in a controlled and selectable manner as the unit will pivot about the passageway.
