Barbed wire holder, carrier, and unreeler

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] Nine patents for improvements to wire fencing were granted by the U.S. Patent Office to American inventors, beginning with Michael Kelly in November 1868 and ending with Joseph Glidden Nov. 24, 1874, U.S. Pat. No. 157,124 for barbed wire. Barbed wire not only simplified the work of the rancher and farmer, but it significantly affected political social, and economic practices.

[0002] Since the invention of barbed wire, there has been a need for an apparatus to handle the unrolling of the wire; as can be seen by the following references to U.S. patents. Wire unreeling devices of the general type described below are well known in the art. When laying a string of wire from a spool, such as barbed wire for a fence line, the ground surface, which must be traversed, is often rough and uneven and the barbed wire itself is often difficult to handle because of its inherently hazardous nature and tendency to uncoil or backlash. Prior art devices, which are intended to overcome the foregoing difficulties, tend to become mechanically complex and somewhat unwieldy and difficult to manipulate.

[0003] There are numerous dispensers designed to aid in uncoiling and unrolling spooled and rolled materials. Typical of these is U.S. Pat. No. 6,079,663 (242/588.2) issued to Slater on Jun. 24, 2000, U.S. Pat. No. Des. 424,774 (D34/26) issued to Zarley on May 9, 2000 as well as U.S. Pat.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0043] A primary object of the present invention is to provide a light weight apparatus, which can be used by one person to hold and carry a spool of wire, specifically barbed wire, and to dispense said wire while moving from one location to another over all types of terrain such as gullies, rocky ground, smooth ground, between and around trees, through vines, leaves, and other debris; while keeping the roll of wire, specifically barbed wire, from coming into contact with the person or any of the above mentioned encumbrances.

[0044] Another object of the present invention is to provide a wire holder, carrier, and dispenser or unreeler, specifically a barbed wire holder, carrier, and dispenser or unreeler, having a handgrip or handle, which will allow for easy handling of spools of wire, specifically barbed wire, by one person.

[0045] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a method for holding a spool or reel of wire, and means for engaging a spool or reel of wire, a method for unreeling the spool or reel of wire without the wire, specifically barbed wire, touching the ground which will prevent trash, leaves, vines, and other debris from becoming entangled in the roll of wire.

[0046] Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a means for the device to stand upright when not in use as well as to provide the means for the device to move easily over the ground surface thus eliminating the need for wheels to be attached to the device thereby preventing debris from becoming entangled in same.

[0047] Generally, spools of wire are heavy and cumbersome to handle. With respect to barbed wire, the dangers encountered with the installation and uses thereof are well known and self-evident. In manual installations, spools of barbed wire are unwound and erected by, usually, two or more persons. Because of the hazards encountered with the barbs, one person controls and guides the unreeling of the spool while the other person installs the wire. Such two person installations are expensive and time consuming.

[0048] The present invention provides a device, particularly adapted for barbed wire, which enables the holding, carrying, unreeling, and installation of barbed wire by one person, while avoiding the problems and dangers encountered with the installation and use of barbed wire.

[0049] In accordance with the present invention there is provided a wire spool holder, carrier, and unreeler device particularly adapted for use with spools of barbed wire. The device hereof generally comprises a means for engaging a spool of wire, a means for grasping or holding the spool of wire, a means for carrying or transporting the spool of wire, and a means for unreeling the spool of wire.

[0050] The means for engaging the spool allows the spool of wire to rotate freely, permitting the unreeling of the wire from the spool. The means for engaging is connected to the means for grasping such that a spool of wire engaged therewith can be held away from the body of the user, thus avoiding the dangers encountered with the installation and use of barbed wire.

[0051] In the description reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments will be described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.

[0052] For a more complete understanding of the present invention, reference is made to the following detailed description and accompanying drawings.

[0076] Turning to FIG. 1, therein is shown a perspective view of the present invention 10, a wire spool holder, carrier, and unreeler. The present invention 10 comprises two sixty-inch pieces of ¾ inch square galvanized steel hollow tubing for the two legs 20; one thirteen-inch piece of ¾ inch square galvanized steel hollow tubing for the swivel arm 12; one eleven-inch piece of ¾ inch square galvanized steel hollow tubing for the hand grip 22; one eleven-inch piece of ¾ inch square galvanized steel hollow tubing for the cross brace 16; two nine-inch pieces of ¾ inch square galvanized steel hollow tubing for the two support braces 18; one two-inch “Z” shelf bracket 14; one three-inch piece of ¾ inch square galvanized steel hollow tubing for the swivel shelf 26; one three-inch latch pin (swivel arm latch pin) 28; one two-inch swivel lock pin 24; and one one-inch cotter pin 30.

[0077] Each of the two sixty-inch pieces of ¾ inch square galvanized steel hollow tubing is bent seventeen-inches from one end, creating a seventy-five degree angle, to form two legs 20. The two legs 20 are held upright by the bending of the two sixty-inch pieces of galvanized steel hollow tubing to create the seventy-five degree angles on each of the two sixty-inch pieces of galvanized steel hollow tubing. The two legs 20 are held together by an eleven-inch cross brace 16, which is welded to each of the two legs 20, twenty-six inches from the top as denoted by welding point 32 on each of the two legs 20. The eleven-inch hand grip 22 is attached to the top of each of the two legs 20 by welding as denoted by welding points 32 on each of the two legs 20. Welding a nine-inch support brace 18 onto each of the two legs 20 as denoted by welding points 32 further braces the present invention 10.

[0078] The wire spool holder mechanism is created by welding the three-inch piece of ¾ inch square galvanized steel hollow tubing fourteen inches from the top of the right leg 20 forming the swivel shelf 26 as shown by welding point 32; and by welding the two-inch “Z” shelf bracket 14 fourteen inches from the top onto the left leg 20 as shown by welding point 32. The means for engaging a reel or spool of wire in the present invention 10 is referred to as the swivel arm 12. The swivel arm 12 is created by cutting the ¾ inch square galvanized steel hollow tubing thirteen-inches in length. Place the ¾ inch square galvanized steel hollow tubing which has been cut into a thirteen-inch length (swivel arm 12) onto the top of the swivel shelf 26 and onto the top of the two-inch “Z” shelf bracket 14. Drill a {fraction (7/16)} inch diameter hole 34 (¼ inch from the end) into the left end of the swivel arm 12 and through the swivel shelf 26; also drill a {fraction (7/16)} inch diameter hole 34 (¼ inch from the end) into the right end of the swivel arm 12 and through the two-inch “Z” shelf bracket 14. The swivel arm 12 is then attached to the present invention 10 by placing the swivel arm 12 onto the swivel shelf 26, then inserting the two-inch swivel lock pin 24 into the left {fraction (7/16)} inch hole 34 on the swivel arm 12 and through the swivel shelf 26, and finally inserting a one-inch cotter pin 30 into the two-inch swivel lock pin 24. The swivel arm 12 is locked in place by placing the swivel arm 12 onto the “Z” shelf bracket 14, inserting the three-inch swivel arm latch pin 28 into the {fraction (7/16)}-inch diameter hole 34 on the swivel arm 12 and through the {fraction (7/16)}-inch diameter hole 34 previously drilled in the “Z” shelf bracket 14.

[0079] Referring to FIG. 2, which is an enlarged view of the present invention 10, taken from FIG. 1 as indicated showing the present invention 10 with the swivel arm 12 extended.

[0080] In utilizing the present device 10, and as depicted in FIG. 3, the spool engaging means referred to as the swivel arm 12 embraces a spool or reel of barbed wire 42 (or similar spool of wire). The user 40 then grasps the hand grip 22. To unwind the reel of barbed wire 42 (or similar spool of wire), the present invention 10 has been pulled forward and away from the post or structure, which the single strand of barbed wire 44 has been attached to. The single strand of barbed wire 44 is unreeled in the direction of the arrow as shown on FIG. 3.

[0081]
FIG. 4 is another representation of the present invention 10, the spool engaging means referred to as the swivel arm 12 embraces a spool or reel of barbed wire 42 (or similar spool of wire). As the user 40 grasps the hand grip 22 of the present invention 10 (barbed wire holder, carrier, and unreeler); the present invention 10 tilts forward as the device is pulled forward and away from the post or structure to which the single strand of barbed wire 44 has been attached. This action results in the reel of barbed wire 42 (or similar spool of wire) being unreeled. The single strand of barbed wire 44 is unreeled in the direction of the arrow as shown on FIG. 4.

[0082] The present invention 10 can be laid face-down and with the swivel arm 12 extended, the swivel arm 12 can be inserted into the roll of wire without the user ever touching the roll of wire; thus eliminating one of the dangers associated and encountered when working with wire such as barbed wire. After the roll of wire has been inserted onto the swivel arm 12; the swivel arm 12 is locked in place by placing the swivel arm 12 onto the “Z” shelf bracket 14 and inserting the three-inch swivel arm latch pin 28 into the {fraction (7/16)}-inch diameter hole 34 in the swivel arm 12 and through the {fraction (7/16)}-inch diameter hole 34 in the “Z” shelf bracket 14, then locking the three-inch swivel arm latch pin 28 in place. The present invention 10 can then be raised into an upright position by using the hand grip 22. The present invention 10 will stand upright and ready for use.

[0083] It is apparent from the preceding that one individual can handle a spool of wire, and particularly barbed wire, without encountering the dangers associated with such wire. The means for holding, carrying, and unreeling permits the user to maintain a safe distance from the barbs while still allowing the wire to be unreeled from the spool.
