ABSTRACT:
A portable filament dispenser made of clear polycarbonate includes two hollow clam shell-like halves that are complementarily mated together. A spool of fine wire filament is rotatably positioned on a spindle in the hollow interior of the dispenser. The filament passes through a wiper near the front of the dispenser and exits through an orifice at the distal end of a hollow cone. The filament spool is sandwiched between two felt pads and positioned below a freely depressible button mounted through an aperture in the top clam shell half. As the filament is wound out through the orifice in the cone, the pressure of a single digit, i.e., a thumb, will maintain the filament at a desired tension while winding same between posts or around posts in a grid.
