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.

A method, and a module (1) for its implementation, is provided for unwinding and splicing reels (2) of flexible material articles. The method includes unwinding a full reel (2) from an unwinding station (4), the reel being positioned on a rotating assembly (3); and, during the unwinding of the reel, positioning a new full reel (2) from a reloading station (5) onto the rotating assembly (3). When the unwound reel is empty, the method includes rotating the rotating assembly (3) to move the empty reel to the reloading station (5) and, simultaneously, the full reel to the unwinding station (4) The method includes splicing the initial end of the article from the full reel with the final end of the article from the empty reel, and unwind the full reel from the unwinding station (4); and From the reloading station (5), removing the empty reel and position a new full reel. The process from step C) may be repeated as many times as necessary.
