Abstract

The present invention provides a spool holding device. The spool holding device in several embodiments includes at least two separate mechanical devices for supporting a cross bar between to vertical supports. Each mechanical device can be comprised of three primary components, two gripping elements connected by a leveraged bar support element. The leveraged bar support element can be adapted to hold a cross bar member. In several embodiments the levered bar support element has a notch for holding a cross member on one end, is connected to a gripping element on the other end and a second gripping element connected between the notch and the other gripping element. Both gripping elements are connected to leveraged bar support element in a way that allows for at least partial free rotation of each element, for example a bolt, washer and nut arrangement could be used.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This patent application is related to and claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 194,425 filed Sep. 26, 2008.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates, in general, to wire spool holding devices and, more particularly, this invention relates to a wire spool holding device which can be attached to two wooden studs.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Prior to the conception and development of the present invention, wire spools, as are generally well known in the prior art, are used to hold various types of electrical wire. Such wire spools are cumbersome, unwielding, and difficult to retrieve wire therefrom. Additionally, having a wire spool sitting on the floor of a work site can be hazardous as construction workers, electricians, carpenters, and other workers may trip over such wire spool injuring themselves or damaging the work site.

[0004] Specifically of interest to the present invention are the f...
