ABSTRACT:
Four reels (R1, R2, R3, R4) of wire are supported for rotation about parallel support shafts (62, 64, 66, 68) which are spaced apart longitudinally of a main frame (12). The carrier (10) has a first dispense position (FIG. 6) in which a first end (1) of the main frame (12) makes contact with the ground and such main frame (12) slopes upwardly from such end to the second end of the main frame (12). When in its first dispense position the carrier (10) is supported by the first end (1) of the frame (12) and wheels (54, 56) carried at the lower end of a wheel support frame (16) which extends downwardly from an intermediate portion of the main frame (12). The carrier (10) has a second dispense position (FIG. 7) in which it is supported on and by the wheels (54, 56) and the lower end (2) of a support stand frame ( 14) which depends downwardly from the second end of the main frame (12). The main frame (12) slopes downwardly from its first end to its second end when it is in the second dispense position and the center of gravity CG of the loaded carrier (10) is located on the support stand side of the wheels (54, 56). The carrier (10) has a third or trundling position (FIG. 5) in which the center of gravity CG is substantially centered over the wheels (54, 56) and the loaded carrier (10) is substantially weight balanced on the wheels (54, 56).
