Abstract:
A holiday light storage system, for use in storing holiday light strings, comprising:a central hub having a pair of parallel flange disks extending parallel to each other, and a central core connecting the flange disks and extending perpendicular to the flange disks centered on said flange disks, the central core having a first part and a second part, wherein the first part and second part are telescoping to adjust the relative distance between the flange disks, the core further having an adjustment mechanism for fixing the relative distance between the flange disks in at least two different positions, for adjusting an amount of holiday light strings that can be stored on the core, the central hub further having and at least one end bore coaxial with and extending into the core, the at least one end bore internally being threaded; a handle, the handle having a hand grip and a threaded portion, wherein the handle is selectively attachable in the end bore to provide an axial handle for the central hub; wherein the central core further has end bores centered on each of the flange rings, extending through the flange rings and into the core, the end bores are both internally threaded to allow selective attachment of an item selected from the extension core and the handle; and at least one extension hub, the extension hub having a flange ring and an extension core centered on the flange ring and extending perpendicular thereto, the extension core having a threaded end opposite from the flange ring for selectively attaching in the end bore of the central hub to create a spindle between the flange ring and one of the flange disks of the central core for storing holiday light strings.
