Abstract
The portable reel has a non-rotatable spool extending longitudinally forwardly from a rearward mount and which surrounds a rotatable spindle extending along a lineal longitudinal-axis. An elongate radial arm is co-rotatably attached to the spindle, and the arm first-end is rigidly attached to a manually graspable tubular guide for flexible conduit carried by the spool. The tubular guide has an internally unencumbered and axially curved bore that preferably terminates as flared configuration terminal openings. As seen in top plan view and at the stage when the arm first-end is strictly vertically below the spindle, the tubular guide curved-axis and the spindle longitudinal-axis have an angular relationship within the range of about 5.degree. to 20.degree..
