ABSTRACT:
A light string mounting system for retaining and protecting at least one light string during nonuse. The inventive device includes an elongated base having a U-shaped cross-section, a cover pivotally attached to an upper portion of the base, a bias spring between the cover and the base, and a pair of tracks within the base which receive a plurality of clips. The bias spring retains the cover in the closed position when the light string is not in use. When the cover is opened to expose the light string, the bias spring retains the cover in the open position. The cover and the base are coated with material which matches the color of the trim of the building structure.
