Electrical Wire Spooling and Dispensing Device

Abstract

A wire coil holder and dispensing device that contains one or more coils of electrical or other wire of any size and dispenses wire as needed by the user. A cylinder between upper and lower side walls rotates and dispenses wire. Wire of any gauge or coil size may be loaded onto the device. The side walls of the device prevent the wire from uncoiling in an unregulated manner, while the cylinder on which the coil is mounted only turns when the user pulls the free end of the coil, thus preventing excess wire from being dispensed. Additionally, the device contains a variety of hard points on the outer side walls, which allow the device to be mounted or affixed if desired, however, the wire, may be dispensed without need of mounting.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to a device for the coiling and dispensing of electrical wire. In particular, the present invention relates to a device wherein a spool of electrical wire is mounted and dispensed and may be easily transported.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The electronic and telephone industries employ fine insulated wires for interconnecting electronic and telephone components and equipment. Typical wire sizes are AWG Nos. 22-30. The operator selects a desired wire size usually from a spool of wire, cuts it to the desired length, and then strips the insulation from the wire ends preparatory to making the desired connection, usually by soldering, wire-wrapping, or mechanical insertion into component or equipment terminals. Separate hand tools are available for affecting the wire cutting and insulation stripping of the wire ends.[0003]An efficient and convenient means for dispensing electrical wire and television or computer cable...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a device that prevents over dispensing of wire and can be easily replaced to load coiled wire. The device allows for smooth rotation and dispensing of wire while the user pulls it, and quickly removes and replaces the side walls to access the coiled wire.

Problems solved by technology

Upon the user ceasing pulling of the wire, the device will cease rotating, thus, preventing over dispensing of the wire, which can result in tangles and crinks in the wire.
