ABSTRACT:
An extension cord storage and dispensing system for conveniently storing and dispensing an elongated extension cord of various lengths without entanglement and without requiring the unwrapping of the entire length of extension cord to effectively utilize both ends. The inventive device includes a second spool, a first spool and a handle. The second spool and the first spool preferably have a flat profile for convenient storage. The first spool receives a longer length of the extension cord while the second spool receives a shorter length of the extension cord that is commonly needed thereby separating the shorter length of the extension cord constantly dispensed and stored from the longer length. The first spool comprises a support base, and a vertical frame having a pair of opposing side members receiving the longer portion of the extension cord or other elongated object. The second spool comprises a first arm and a second arm. The first arm includes a first cutout and the second arm includes a second cutout for receiving a shorter length of the extension cord that is commonly dispensed. The first arm and the second arm include a first upper slot and a second upper slot respectively for removably receiving an end of the extension cord. A pair of support legs extending from the support base include a pair of lower slots for retaining an opposing distal end of the extension cord during nonuse. A support stand is removably attached to the pair of the support legs for allowing the frame to be vertically supported.
