ABSTRACT:
A storage device for storing Christmas lights assembled from a vertical core section, a pair of horizontal end sections, and a sheath. The device is constructed from corrugated cardboard. Each opposing end of each of the four sides of the core section includes both a foldable flap and a slot, which is formed adjacent the fold line of the flap. The horizontal end sections, located at either opposing core section end, each include a centrally disposed opening defined by four inward sides. Each inward side has a width substantially equal to the core section sides and includes an inwardly extending tab. When the core section is inserted into the centrally disposed opening, the tabs are received by the slots to secure the core section and end section together. Each end section also includes four locking regions, each locking region having a first folding element and a second folding element. The first folding element folds toward the far surface of the end section such that it overlays the core section flap outwardly folded against the end section. The second folding element then folds into the hollow center of the core section. The core section and end section are thereby further secured together. The sheath encloses and protects articles wound around the assembled core section and end sections during storage.
