-11- TITLE CORD OR HOSE CADDY ABSTRACT A cord or hose caddy 10 includes a dish-shaped resin container 11 that skids along floors or ground; a central upright shaft 12 that serves as a center of rotation; and an annular turntable 13 rotating on a low friction bearing 19 within container 11. A central hub 14 rotates with turntable 13 and forms an inclined S guide 16 arranged so half of the cord or hose winds in a lower coil on turntable 13 and the other half winds in an upper coil on top of the lower coil. Container 11 has a resin cover 15 with a winding knob 26 for rotating the turntable and confining the coils on the turntable. Diametrically opposed guide openings 23 and 24 in con- tainer 11 guide the cord or hose into the upper and lower coils. A friction drag between shaft 12 and cover 15 is applied by a cam 32 that turns with the cover to resist unwinding of the coils and releases the friction to allow free winding. The unwinding frictional drag slightly exceeds the frictional resistance of container 11 as it skids along so that no slack is unwound.
