ABSTRACT:
A wire reel, for attaching to a fixed power source and providing power to a remote location, comprising a spool and a hub plate. The hub plate is mounted to a stationary mounting near the fixed power source. A fixed power cord is attached between the fixed power source and the hub plate. A quantity of extension cord is wound around the spool. A slip ring assembly is mounted within the spool, the slip ring assembly provides a continuous electrical connection between the fixed power cord and the extension cord. The slip ring assembly allows the spool to rotate around the hub plate while maintaining the electrical connection between the fixed power cord and the extension cord so that the extension cord can be let out or reeled in without the need to physically disconnect the fixed power cord from the fixed power source. A metallic main shaft assembly provides an axis of rotation for the spool and can provide a ground connection between the extension cord and fixed power cord.
