A wheeled cart adapted for facilitating transporting a plurality of coils of wire from one location to another on a construction site and for facilitating withdrawing the wire, as needed. The cart comprises a skeletal frame having a plurality of interconnected vertical upright and horizontal cross members defining open areas therebetween. Dispensers for coiled wire are suspended from certain of the horizontal members, the dispensers each having a generally horizontally oriented supporting base for supporting a coil of wire thereon and being adapted to facilitate freely unreeling the wire from the coil. Means is provided on the horizontal frame members beneath each of the dispensers for restricting lateral movement of the dispensers during movement of the wheeled cart from one location to another and during withdrawing of wire from the dispenser. The cart is also adapted for carrying and dispensing wire from spools. Additionally, the cart may be provided with various arrangements of trays for receiving tools or other small items therein.
A wheeled cart adapted for facilitating transporting coiled wire from one location to another on a job site and for facilitating withdrawing the wire as needed, said wheeled cart comprising a wheeled skeletal frame having a plurality of upright and cross members, interconnected and defining open areas therebetween, at least one dispenser for coiled wire suspended in an open area between two cross members, said dispenser having a generally horizontally oriented supporting base for supporting a coil of wire thereon and having suspending means connected to the supporting base and extending upwardly therefrom and being releasably connected to the upper of said two cross members, said suspending means including means to permit rotation of the supporting base when wire is pulled from the coil to facilitate freely unreeling the wire, and means provided on the lower of said two cross members beneath said dispenser and cooperating with the supporting base of the dispenser to restrict lateral movement thereof during movement of the wheeled cart from one location to another and during withdrawing of wire from the dispenser.
A wheeled cart adapted for facilitating transporting coiled wire from one location to another on a job site and for facilitating withdrawing the wire as needed, said wheeled cart comprising a wheeled skeletal frame having upper, lower and intermediate cross members and a plurality of upright members interconnecting the cross members and supporting the same in vertically spaced relation with respect to one another to define open areas, therebetween, at least one dispenser for coiled wire suspended in the open area between said upper and intermediate cross members, said dispenser having a generally horizontally oriented supporting base for supporting a coil of wire thereon and having suspending means connected to the supporting base and extending upwardly therefrom and being releasably connected to said upper cross member, said suspending means including means to permit rotation of the supporting base when wire is pulled from the coil to facilitate freely unreeling the wire, and means provided on said intermediate cross member beneath said dispenser for engaging the supporting base of the dispenser to restrict lateral movement thereof during movement of the wheeled cart from one location to another and during withdrawing of wire from the dispenser.
A wheeled cart adapted for facilitating transporting coiled wire from one location to another on a job site and for facilitating withdrawing the wire as needed, said wheeled cart comprising an upright skeletal frame having a plurality of upright and cross members interconnected and defining open areas therebetween, handle means provided on the upper portion of one side of the skeletal frame, wheel means connected to a lower portion of the skeletal frame below said handle means, said wheel means being so positioned on the skeletal frame that the skeletal frame extends therebelow and the wheel means is out of contact with the underlying supporting surface when the frame is in the upright position and so that the wheel means may be readily brought into contact with the underlying supporting surface by tilting the wheeled cart when it is desired to move the cart from one location to another, at least one dispenser for coiled wire suspended in an open area between two cross members, said dispenser having a generally horizontally oriented supporting base for supporting a coil of wire thereon and having suspending means connected to the supporting base and extending upwardly therefrom and being releasably connected to the upper of said two cross members, said suspending means including means to permit rotation of the supporting base when wire is pulled from the coil to facilitate freely unreeling the wire, and means provided on the lower of said two cross members beneath said dispenser and cooperating with the supporting base of the dispenser to restrict lateral movement thereof during movement of the wheeled cart from one location to another and during withdrawing of wire from the dispenser.
A wheeled cart adapted for facilitating transporting coiled wire from one location to another on a job site and for facilitating withdrawing the wire, as needed, from wire dispensers, said wheeled cart comprising a wheeled skeletal frame having a plurality of upright and cross members, interconnected and defining open areas therebetween, connector means provided on at least certain of said cross members for supportingly suspending a dispenser for coiled wire therefrom in an open area therebelow, and means provided on another cross member positioned below said certain cross member and extending upwardly therefrom for engaging the dispenser and restricting lateral movement thereof during movement of the wheeled cart from one location to another and during withdrawing of wire from the dispensers.
A wheeled cart adapted for facilitating transporting coiled wire from one location to another on a job site and for facilitating withdrawing the wire, as needed, from wire dispensers, said wheeled cart comprising an upright skeletal frame having upper, lower and intermediate substantially U-shaped horizontal cross members and a plurality of vertical upright members interconnecting the horizontal cross members and supporting the same in vertically spaced apart relation with respect to one another to define open areas therebetween, handle means provided on the upper portion of one side of the skeletal frame, wheel means connected to a lower portion of the skeletal frame below said handle means, said wheel means being so positioned on the skeletal frame that the skeletal frame extends therebelow and the wheel means is out of contact with the underlying supporting surface when the frame is in the upright position, and so that the wheel means may be readily brought into contact with the underlying supporting surface by tilting the wheeled cart when it is desired to move the cart from one location to another, connector means provided on the upper and intermediate horizontal cross members for supportingly suspending respective dispensers for coiled wire therefrom in the open areas defined therebelow, and means provided on the intermediate and lower horizontal cross members and extending upwardly therefrom and cooperating respectively with said connector means for engaging the respective dispensers and restricting lateral movement thereof whereby each dispenser is maintained substantially in its suspended position during movement of the wheeled cart from one location to another and during withdrawing of wire from the dispensers.
