Implementations of a material roll dispenser for holding and dispensing rolls of materials are provided. In some implementations, the material roll dispenser comprises one or more configurations of a roll dispensing assembly, a platform assembly, a handle assembly, and a wheel assembly each configured to telescopingly position and secure onto a vertical member to form the material roll dispenser.

In some implementations, a method of using the material roll dispenser comprises telescopingly positioning and securing the roll dispensing assembly, the platform assembly, the handle assembly, and the wheel assembly onto the vertical member to form the material roll dispenser. In some implementations, the method of using the material roll dispenser further comprises loading, holding, and dispensing one or more rolls of material from the material roll dispenser.

A guide ring includes a base member and an oxide layer. The base member has a ring shape, is made of a non-oxide ceramic, and includes a recessed portion. The oxide layer contains an oxide as a main component. The recessed portion has a first surface, and the oxide layer is located on the first surface of the recessed portion.

A container may be provided. The container may comprise a first surface and a second surface concentric with the first surface. The first surface and the second surface may define a volume. The volume may house a concentric length of multiple parallel conductors. The multiple parallel conductors may pass through a restricting mechanism to restrict the multiple parallel conductors to pass at the same rate and at the same length.

An apparatus for unloading and installing palletized filter tubes which includes a rack having an attachment for a roller cage assembly. The cage includes at least one roller and is positioned horizontally and outward from the rack. The filter tube is positioned through the cage and over at least one roller and fastened at the free end to the ground or other filter tubing. The apparatus is attached to a skid steer, truck bed or other movable machinery and as the machinery moves forward the palletized filter tube is pulled through the cage assembly. Retention bars may be provided to retain the palletized filter tube in place as the vehicle moves. In one iteration, the retention bars are hydraulically operated and can be opened for loading of palletized filter tube.

An apparatus for the movement of a barrel pack containing spooled wire or cable. The apparatus comprising a frame, a handle attached to the frame, a plurality of wheels rotatably attached to the frame, securing structures attached to the frame, the securing structures securing the barrel pack to the frame and a footage counting assembly attached to the handle. The footage counting assembly counts the amount of footage of wire or cable passing through the footage counting assembly.

A spool holder includes a cylinder defining a longitudinal axis and having an external surface on which a spool of wire may be supported. A first plate is positioned at a first end of the cylinder and a second plate is positioned at a second end of the cylinder. Both first and second plates have portions extending radially outward from the external surface of the cylinder. The first and second plates both have a perpendicular orientation relative to the longitudinal axis. The first and second plates restrict axial movement of the spool of wire therebetween. The first plate and cylinder are stationary relative to a mounting structure, while the second plate is configured to rotate with the spool of wire. A mechanism urges the second plate and, thus, the spool of wire toward the first plate, thereby regulating rotation of the spool of wire.
