ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method by which light strings can be quickly wound up and securely stored is herein disclosed. A freely rotating base and spindle assembly has a tray disposed along the shaft of the spindle upon which a reel assembly sits. The reel assembly has a number of interspaced grooves formed on its outer surface to retain a plurality of light strings and an inverted “U”-shaped device acting as a winding mechanism on its top surface. A cover assembly is provided to protect the wound light strings from the environment and a removably detachable handle for attachment to the spindle shaft is also provided. The spindle and base assembly is mounted on a wheeled cart to provide portability.
