ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for removing coiled wire or strands from a stationary coil having a vertical axis particularly suited for, but not limited to, use with welding wire. The wire is removed from the coil periphery by a wire guide rotatable about an axis coincident with the coil axis. The improvements include a dust cover enclosing the wire coil which rotates with and under the influence of the wire guide. Further, a base is used with unspooled wire having a quick coupling connection with the wire guide support, a coil compression ring is shaped to impose a biasing force on the coiled wire as the coil is depleted to improve wire retention, and a quick disconnect coupling is interposed between the rotating guide and a wire receiving conduit to improve handling and coil replacement procedures. Improvements are also directed to the use of the dust cover with spooled wire, and a synthetic plastic coil base is disclosed for protecting the wire coil's lower regions.
