ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for continuous unwinding of wire from reels includes two adjacent hollow, partially cylindrical and partially frusto-conical housings, each of which contains a reel of wire. In operation, the tail end of the wire of the first reel is joined to the beginning of the wire on the second reel, permitting continuous unwinding. When one reel is empty, the wire must pass from one hollow housing to the second hollow housing. The apparatus is constructed from two cooperating halves, which may be hinged or capable of other relative motion, to permit passage of the wire when desired but which close fully during the unwinding process to prevent discontinuities in the interior surface which would tend to damage the moving wire.
