ABSTRACT:
An automatic dispensing machine for elongated flexible elements, such as a wire, string, rope, flat steel and the like in which the element being dispensed passes through a first guide member mounted for rotation substantially about the axis of rotation of a carrier. The guide member travels on at least a portion of a circular path in a position where the element can be easily pulled or dispensed off the carrier. A second guide member is provided through which the element is threaded prior to the demand source. The two guides are positioned so that a tension in the element induces rotation of the first guide member about the axis of rotation of the carrier. Rotation of the first guide member controls the speed of a variable speed drive member for rotating the carrier whereby greater tension on the element results in faster speed of rotation and faster rate of dispensing of the elements and vice versa. The first guide member not only controls the rate of dispensing but also takes up any normally expected slack of an element caused by slowing up the demand rate and/or stopping the demand.
