Abstract
A device for collecting, storing and deploying inflatable slides and play structures. In general, the device comprises an elongated barrel, an end cap immediately adjacent to each end of the elongated barrel, a ratchet device removably connected to each end of the elongated barrel, a handle connected to each ratchet device, and a slot running along the length of the elongated barrel. The device is used to collect an inflatable by attaching ratchet devices which are attached to handles to each end of the elongated barrel, inserting a portion of an inflatable into the slot of the elongated barrel; and alternatively pulling and pushing each handle to incrementally wind the inflatable around the elongated barrel.
