Abstract
Abstract A knockdown-type reel for use when unwinding and paying out fence wire from a spool of barbed wire comprising first and second disk-type reel heads which are centrally apertured and have opposed inwardly disposed oriented faces, each inward face having an elongated tubular or sleeve-like bushing. These bushings are alike in construction, are alignable with each other and the bores thereof provide coordinating bearings. An assembling axle can be inserted and passed through the respective bearings, the end portions of said axle being capable of cooperatively uniting the two heads. The heads are capable of serving as wheels and can be rolled along the surface of the ground adjacent to the fence posts on which the unwound wire is adapted to be stapled. The end portions of the axle are constructed to not only assemble the two heads but to rotatably mount the overall reel on adapter brackets carried by the legs of a push-pull type handling and maneuvering frame.
