ABSTRACT:
This disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for paying-out wire from a horizontally disposed coil. The wire is disposed in a stemless wire pack container and payed-out therefrom substantially vertically overhead. The wire is guided about a sheave disposed a substantial distance above the stemless pack at a point disposed on the vertical axis of the coil for substantially reducing the magnitude of the inward component of force acting along the wire as it is withdrawn from the container. A substantially frictionless plastic dish-shaped element rides downwardly and is freely movable on the top of the coil as the wire is payed-out therefrom. The dish-shaped element functions to break up each loop of wire from the remainder of the coil as it is payed-out therefrom without exerting any substantial friction force thereagainst which would tend to mar the finish of the wire.
