US Classification:

242 865R

Abstract:

This invention relates to a multiple wire dispensing assembly which is interconnected to a three-point hitch assembly on a farm tractor assembly so as to be movable vertically and pivotally about a horizontal axis. The multiple wire dispensing assembly includes 1) a hitch connector assembly pivotally connected to the three-point hitch assembly on the farm tractor assembly; 2) a spindle support member connected to the hitch connector assembly; and 3) a plurality of spaced spindle support assemblies connected to the spindle support member. The spindle support assemblies each includes a spool support disc secured to the spindle support member; a central support member secured to a center of the spool support disc and, additionally, secured to the spindle support member; and an upright support shaft secured to the spindle support member and extended upwardly therefrom. The spool support disc has an upper concave surface adapted to receive a spool of wire thereon and to provide controlled frictional contact therewith when the wire strands from the respective spool of wire are to be trained therefrom. Another embodiment of this invention is an add-on multiple wire dispensing assembly including an axle and wheel support assembly secured to a trailer hitch assembly for connection to a tractor or pickup truck hitch member.

Abstract:

A single wire dispensing assembly having two embodiments being 1) a hitch pull wire dispensing assembly operable connected to a hitch member on a vehicle; and 2) an operator pull wire dispensing assembly not requiring an external power source. The hitch pull wire dispensing assembly includes a trailer hitch connector assembly having a spindle support assembly mounted thereon. The spindle support assembly includes a concave spool support disc having a central upright extending support axle to receive a spool of wire. The spool support disc is provided with an upper concave contact surface to provide frictional resistance to the unraveling of a spool of wire mounted thereon. The operator pull wire dispensing assembly includes a handle and wheel support assembly having a spindle support assembly connected thereto. The main handle assembly is used to push and pull the entire structure manually. The handle assembly is pivoted upwardly to place the support shaft in a position horizontal to a ground support surface and supported on a support surface on the spool support disk in contact with the ground support surface for ease of loading and unloading a spool of wire on the support shaft.
