BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Nine patents for improvements to wire fencing were granted by the U.S. Patent Office to American inventors, beginning with Michael Kelly in November 1868 and ending with Joseph Glidden Nov. 24, 1874, U.S. Pat. No. 157,124 for barbed wire. Barbed wire not only simplified the work of the rancher and farmer, but it significantly affected political social, and economic practices.
Since the invention of barbed wire, there has been a need for an apparatus to handle the unrolling of the wire; as can be seen by the following references to U.S. patents. Wire unreeling devices of the general type described below are well known in the art. When laying a string of wire from a spool, such as barbed wire for a fence line, the ground surface, which must be traversed, is often rough and uneven and the barbed wire itself is often difficult to handle because of its inherently hazardous nature and tendency to uncoil or backlash. Prior art devices, which are intended to overcome the foregoing difficulties, tend to become mechanically complex and somewhat unwieldy and difficult to manipulate.
There are numerous dispensers designed to aid in uncoiling and unrolling spooled and rolled materials. Typical of these is U.S. Pat. No. 6,079,663 (242/588.2) issued to Slater on Jun. 24, 2000, U.S. Pat. No. Des. 424,774 (D34/26) issued to Zarley on May 9, 2000 as well as U.S. Pat.

U.S. Pat. No. 6,079,663 Inventor: John E. Slater Issued: Jun. 24, 2000: a spooled barbwire dispenser discloses a swivel hook means for grasping a spool of wire being 360 degrees rotatable centrally mounted onto the underside of a rectangular shaped metal plate whereby the plate further has a handle for being grasped by the user with the handle being welded onto the top of the plate. This invention allows the swivel hook to be hooked onto the handle of a reel of wire such as barbed wire, and further allows the reel of wire to be unrolled so that the wire spool is maintained effectively in the horizontal plane as the spool is transported from one work location to the next.
U.S. Pat. No. Des. 424,774 issued to Zarley on May 9, 2000 is an ornamental design for a portable wire dispensing reel for barbed wire with wheels and a tongue for mechanical pulling.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,333,808 issued to Klumpjan on Aug. 2, 1994 is a wire unreeling device supporting a spool of wire in one position to utilize the rims of the spool as wheels and in an inverted position to hold the spool above the ground in a freewheeling manner.
U.S. Pat. No. Des. 328,378 issued to Hargrove on Jul. 28, 1992 is an ornamental design for a hand pull barbed wire dispenser mounted on wheels with an attached tongue for manual pulling.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,967,793 Inventor: David O. Walker Issued: Jul. 6, 1976 is a wire spool holder, specifically adapted for barbed wire and the like, includes freely rotatable spool engaging members and a freely rotatable holding or grasping member connected to the engaging members.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,820,733 issued to Roederer on Jun. 28, 1974 relates to maneuvering and handling devices and carriers for dual headed reels such as are employed for storing and dispensing barbed wire and has to do with a novelly constructed sectional or knockdown reel and an elongated supporting or handling frame which functions to mount the reel for roll-along use or, alternatively, for supported use on a farming machine.
U.S. Pat No. 3,680,807 issued to Fortson on Aug. 01, 1972—a roller assembly for rolling over the ground either by hand or by being pulled by a powered vehicle and includes opposite end large diameter wheel portions and a diametrically reduced center portion rotatable with the wheel portions and upon which a spool of wire is disposed for rotation with and unwinding from the reduced center portion of the roller assembly.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,341,149 issued to Graham on Sep. 12, 1967 is characterized by an elongated sled-like frame, which can be converted from a sled to a roll-along vehicle by attaching wheels to brackets provided for on the sled. The frame can be dragged along behind a tractor on the wheels or removing the wheels and using the frame as a push-pull type sled.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,100,607 issued to Wiggins on Aug. 13, 1963 discloses a barbed wire reel holder including a pair of wheels each having an opening there through, a continuous axle extending through the opening in each of the wheels for placing varying widths of rolls of wire.

No. 3,009,667 issued to Browne on Nov. 21, 1961 discloses a device for aiding in the unreeling of wire on a spool comprising a generally u-shaped frame having an elongated handle extending from the u-shaped frame, a transverse hollow member at the free end of the handle forming hand grips and a pair of removable circular wheels fixedly attached to the axle.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,140,676 issued to Hohner on Dec. 20, 1938 is a wire-handling device comprising a substantially u-shaped frame, including a handle and parallel legs on the handle, a transverse axle having one end connected to the free end of one of the legs adapted for insertion through a spool of wire.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,089,335 Inventor: G. L. Brown Issued: Aug. 10, 1937—this United States Patent discloses a method for spooling barbed wire wherein all of the barbs project inwardly and for carrying purposes there is provided a stirrup or carrying frame the cross piece between the two arms serving as a handle.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,067,765 Inventor: Walter Juranic Issued; Jan. 12, 1937—this United States Patent discloses a reel holding device which has the reel of material rotatable suspended so as to facilitate the discharge or unreeling of the material and when the device is not in use it may be collapsed to a compact form to occupy a minimum of space in storage.
