Abstract

Abstract A single wire dispensing assembly having two embodiments being 1) a hitch pull wire dispensing assembly operable connected to a hitch member on a vehicle; and 2) an operator pull wire dispensing assembly not requiring an external power source. The hitch pull wire dispensing assembly includes a trailer hitch connector assembly having a spindle support assembly mounted thereon. The spindle support assembly includes a concave spool support disc having a central upright extending support axle to receive a spool of wire. The spool support disc is provided with an upper concave contact surface to provide frictional resistance to the unraveling of a spool of wire mounted thereon. The operator pull wire dispensing assembly includes a handle and wheel support assembly having a spindle support assembly connected thereto. The main handle assembly is used to push and pull the entire structure manually. The handle assembly is pivoted upwardly to place the support shaft in a position horizontal to a ground support surface and supported on a support surface on the spool support disk in contact with the ground support surface for ease of loading and unloading a spool of wire on the support shaft.
