ABSTRACT:
A creel for reels of electrical wire. A creel member has spindles extending out to receive reels of electrical wire, and a support leg is pivoted at the upper end of the creel member and movable out to provide a tripod arrangement. A chain extends from the support leg to the creel member to limit the movement. The spindles are perpendicular to the stanchions of the creel member so flanges of the reels will lie along the stanchions. Guides, or eyes, are fixed to the support leg so wires from the reels are gathered for control. The support leg has a roller mounted at its end so the creel and support leg can be pivoted to lie together, the apparatus slanted back with the creel member above the support leg, and the roller will engage the floor to facilitate transport.
