ABSTRACT:
An improved device which allows a carton of coiled wire, packaged in a way to allow the coil to be unwound from its center through a circular knockout in the carton, to rotate as the wire is being pulled out of the center knockout. As the wire is pulled it makes contact with a flared center column. The action of the wire against the center column and the pull of the wire on the coil causes the device and the carton of wire to rotate. This rotating action prevents twists and kinks in the wire and allows it to unwind easily. The device can be operated sitting on a surface, hanging from a support or held in the operators hand. The device has no parts that adjust or need to be removed in order to mount a carton of coiled wire and there is no need for the wire to be fed through a guide. The wire can be pulled at angles from near horizontal to approximately 45 degrees up off horizontal and in any direction.
