Anti-tangle elastic wire for coiled hoses and wires

[0007]A telephone jack line between a ground phone body and receiver is one example of coiled wires. The coiled jack line easily tangled and makes a user annoyed. That kind of inconvenience is acceptable as a small happening in everyday life because the tangled line does not disturb communication through telephone. Some user enjoys tangling and untwines the tangle. However, for gardeners tangled hose line causes some trouble. They must cut the water first and untwine all the hose. Time loss due to tanglement is not negligible. Moreover, repeated tangle, folding in some part, and untwine of coiled hose, most of which are made of flexible plastics that are weak in repeated folding, may result in break of the hose it self. For coiled electric power lines, tanglement may result in short in circuit. The result is more significant and may do damage to user and may starts fire. It is purpose of the current application to provide an anti-tangle means that not only prevents tanglement of coiled hoses / lines but also protects them in both position of stretched and retracted. In stretched position the muff prevents tanglement and in retracted position the muff makes it easy to store the coiled hoses / wires. An anti-tangle means for coiled materials is provided. The means is comprised of a long elastic wire and a case for rewinding the wire. The rewinding elastic wire penetrates inside of a helix that is formed by the coiled material. Retracted length of the elastic wire is same as the retracted coiled hoses / coiled wires and fully stretched length of the wire is the same as the stretched length of the hoses / wires. One end of the elastic wire is connected to one end of the coiled material and the other end is connected to a ribbon spring that is installed inside of a case. The case has a stopper to control the tension of the elastic wire. The elastic wire with proper tension prevents tangling of the coiled material.
