A number of wheels are rotatably, mounted between the plates and located on a common circumference. Each wheel includes an annular groove defined therein. Two receiving discs are respectively, rotatably held by the wheels on the associated bases. Each receiving disc includes a first half disc and a second half disc which are releasably assembled together. The first half disc includes a peripheral edge received in the grooves of the associated wheels. Each of the first half disc and the second half disc includes a cutout for receiving a long member.


What is claimed is:
1. A device comprising:
two spaced apart bases each including two spaced vertical plates mounted on a top side thereof, a plurality of wheels being rotatably mounted between the plates and located on a common circumference, each said wheel including an annular groove defined therein,
two receiving discs respectively, rotatably held by the wheels on the associated bases, each said receiving disc including a first half disc and a second half disc which are releasably assembled together, the first half disc including a peripheral edge received in the grooves of the associated wheels, each of the first half disc and the second half disc including a cutout adapted to receive a member and
a lining member releasably mounted to each said cutout, each said lining member including a recess defined in an outer side thereof for engaging with a peripheral edge which defines the associated cutout.
2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the disc includes a handle member mounted thereon.
3. The device according to claim 1, wherein at least one plate of each base includes a plurality of holes defined therein, and further comprises a plurality of stop members for releasably extending through the holes to prevent rotation of the wheels.
