Patent ID: 7455258

Claim:
A portable device for winding and storage of elongate materials, said device comprising: a hollow tubular base sealed at both ends and two hollow arcuate rotatable winding arms attached near the base ends with axes perpendicular to the base; a coupling assembly attaching each hollow arcuate rotatable winding arm to said hollow tubular base creating a U-shaped cavity for containing said elongate material wrapped between said arms; said coupling assembly having a silicon greased O-ring compressed in-between an extension groove of the base and a winding arm groove of the winding arm, wherein the extension groove of the base has a larger diameter than the winding arm groove of the winding arm, which slides with minimal resistance; the base and the arms are made of corrosion resistant and electrically non-conductive materials; a separation along the base between the winding arms permits unobstructed 360 degree rotation of both arms; and said device is floatable.
