ABSTRACT:
A tangle-free wire dispenser for transporting and simultaneously dispensing single and multiple wires in any direction. The wire dispenser comprises of a boxlike outer frame, with wheeled legs, a parallel inner shaft, with perpendicular spool holders thereon, and spool tension bars. The top outer frame contains individual wire guide windows, which permit omnidirectional dispensing of wire, and wires, from spool holders without repositioning the dispenser. The inner shaft comprises an extendable transport handle inserted within its long axis, wherein the spool holders and tension bars are mounted and divided at right angles. Individual spool holders permit changing, replenishing, and tensioning of selected spools without interruption of other spool operations The inner shaft, spool holders, and tension bars comprise an integral supplier of tensioned wire to individually interface spools with the respective guide windows, thus isolating each spool during multispool and multidirectional wire use, elimitating backlash and tangle. The legs, which have at least two removable wheels for specific operational requirements, are attached at the bottom of the outer frame. The wheels conjuncted with the outer frame, its inner components, and an extended handle comprise an integral wire dispensing cart.
