ABSTRACT:
An apparatus used for securing sets of flexible strap handles of various sizes and shapes, and for retrieving, deploying, and storing the kite line attached to each flexible strap handle used when flying dual line kites. The invention includes an elongated tube with a rod extending perpendicular through the tube on both the upper and lower portion, each rod protruding equal distance on each side of the tube. A compression spring allows the upper rod to move closer to the lower rod, allowing flexible strap handles of various sizes and shapes to be secured onto the invention. The method of use of this invention allows sets of two flexible strap handles to be secured onto perpendicular rods, each handle attaching around an upper and lower rod on each side of the invention, then the kite line, which is secured to each handle, can be manually deployed or taken up onto this invention simultaneously by turning the tube on its axis. The method of use also allows the inserting of a battery-operated winder onto the end cap of the tube where a built-in winder attachment is located, to assist in the simultaneous retrieving of dual kite lines onto the invention at an increased speed. The built-in winder attachment also allows the use of a quick release clip which can be connected to the invention, allowing the kite flyer to connect the invention to his person.
