The invention pertains to a portable wall base coil unwinding device. The device includes a base caddy, a turntable, a lazy Susan swivel connector, three concentric wall base coil holders, three removable wall base coil holder extension tubes, and at least three freely rotatable and swivable wheels. The device is designed to accommodate different sizes of wall base coils and allows for easy loading and unloading of the coils. The invention also includes a method for unwinding and positioning a wall cove base material along the base of a wall using the device.
UPRIGHT STRAP DISPENSER
The upright strap dispenser has a main body. The main body includes a first frame and a second frame which are connected to each other. The upper frame can be moved up and down relative to the second frame for adjusting the height of the main body. The upright strap dispenser further includes a strap disc. The strap disc is provided with a pivot. Two ends of the pivot are pivotally connected to the first frame and the second frame. The second frame is pivotally connected with a brake device. The upright strap dispenser is detachable to reduce its size for transportation so as to increase cargo capacity and lower transportation cost.
SUPPORT STRAP DISPENSERS AND HOLSTERS FOR USE WITH SAME
A dispenser for storing and dispensing a rolled support strap, including but not limited to hanger straps (sometimes referred to as plumber's tape) such as those sold under the trade name TAB TAPE, as well as assemblies that include a dispenser and a rolled support strap therein, and associated methods. A holster for holding the dispenser, as well as a system including a holster and a dispenser, are also disclosed.
PORTABLE STRAP DISPENSER
A portable strap dispenser includes a main body. The main body has a first frame and a second frame which are symmetrically disposed. A fixing sleeve is provided at the joint of the first frame and the second frame. The portable strap dispenser further includes a strap disc. The strap disc is provided with a pivot penetrating through the strap disc. Two ends of the pivot are pivoted to the first frame and the second frame, respectively. The first frame is pivotally provided with a brake device. During transportation, the portable strap dispenser can be disassembled to reduce its size so as to increase cargo capacity and lower transportation cost.
BULK WIRE DISTRIBUTION CART
The present invention is a bulk wire distribution cart configured to dispense bulk conductor wires and a single ground wire efficiently, safely and without slack or wire damage, directly from the cart to the electrical conduit.
Soldering Wire Dispenser Apparatus
A soldering wire dispensing apparatus is provided and comprises a support frame with a motor is mounted therein. A motor axle extends from the motor and rotates upon activation of the motor. A dispenser spool is mounted within the support frame with a predetermined amount of solder wire. A dispensing axle extends from the dispenser spool. A connecting belt links the motor axle to the dispensing axle to rotate the dispensing axle with rotation of the motor axle. A flexible wire nozzle is positioned in and extends from the support frame. An adjustment housing is mounted to the support frame. An upright bar is slidably mounted within the adjustment housing. A lever is connected to the upright bar and extends through the adjustment housing. A connecting wire extends between the second end of the wire nozzle and the upright bar. Upon moving the lever downward, the connecting wire nozzle bends nozzle to a predetermined angle relative to the adjustment housing.
Cable reel
