Abstract
Abstract A coiled cable dispenser for use by the building trade in constructing buildings. The coiled cable usually packaged in 250 foot rolls is centrally located on a rotatable table. A spindle mounting assembly pivotally supports the table at one end and contains a pair of spaced apart U shaped members attached to each other by a single arm at the other end. The U shaped members are adapted to fit over opposite sides of a conventional two by four stud member which are usually located 16 inches on center. The cable is dispensed from the periphery of the coil through a cable guide assembly that is pivotally attached to the spindle mounting assembly below said rotating table. The table is frictionally restrained thereby allowing the construction worker to pull a selected amount of cable from the rotating table.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
168 words
A coiled cable dispenser comprising, a pair of spaced apart U-shaped members, a single arm and a rotatable table, said pair of spaced apart U-shaped members fixedly attached to each other by said single arm and each adapted to fit over opposite sides of at least one-half of a building stud member, a spindle mounting assembly fixedly attached at one end to said single arm and at the other end adapted to pivotally support said rotatable table, said spindle mounting assembly having a specific shape for holding said rotatable table in a preferred position, a cable guide assembly having a length greater than the diameter of said rotatable table is pivotably mounted at one end on said spindle mounting assembly below said rotatable table, said cable guide assembly being freely pivotable in all directions for dispensing cable below and above said rotatable table, and a hub assembly centrally located on said rotatable table for holding and controlling the positioning of a coiled spool of cable on said table.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
168 words
A coiled cable dispenser comprising, a pair of spaced apart U-shaped members, a single arm and a rotatable table, said pair of spaced apart U-shaped members fixedly attached to each other by said single arm and each adapted to fit over opposite sides of at least one-half of a building stud member, a spindle mounting assembly fixedly attached at one end to said single arm and at the other end adapted to pivotally support said rotatable table, said spindle mounting assembly having a specific shape for holding said rotatable table in a preferred position, a cable guide assembly having a length greater than the diameter of said rotatable table is pivotably mounted at one end on said spindle mounting assembly below said rotatable table, said cable guide assembly being freely pivotable in all directions for dispensing cable below and above said rotatable table, and a hub assembly centrally located on said rotatable table for holding and controlling the positioning of a coiled spool of cable on said table.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A coiled cable dispenser according to claim 1 which includes a friction member centrally located on said spindle mounting assembly for frictionally engaging said cable guide assembly and said rotatable table to thereby impede rotational movement.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
A coiled cable dispenser according to claim 2 in which said friction member is a compression spring for forcing said rotatable table and said cable guide assembly against said spindle mounting assembly.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A coiled cable dispenser according to claim 1 in which said rotatable table is circular having a curved lip portion on the periphery for restraining the dispensing cable.
