A-frame spool caddy

An A-frame spool caddy comprising:

• an A-frame comprising a generally rectangular front frame lying on a plane and a generally rectangular back frame lying on a plane, and the front frame and back frame each having a top end, a bottom end, a first side and a second side, and an outer surface, the front frame and back frame being pivotally connected together;
• a set of two spaced brackets attached to the outer surface of the front frame;
• a spool-receiving bar rotatably received in the two brackets so that the bar may be lifted out of the brackets;
• a guide pivotally connected to the A-frame, the guide having an aperture at a distance from the A-frame, the aperture for receiving and guiding a wire, the guide comprising a sleeve slidably connected to the A-frame and adapted to slide from near the first side of said front and back frames to near the second side of said front and back frames.

An A-frame spool caddy comprising:

• an A-frame comprising a generally rectangular front frame lying on a plane and a generally rectangular back frame lying on a plane, and the front frame and back frame each having a top end, a bottom end, and an outer surface, the front frame and back frame being pivotally connected together;
• a first bracket and a second bracket, said brackets having a width and attached to the outer surface of the front frame;
• and,
• a spool-receiving bar rotatably received in the two brackets, said spool-receiving bar having a first end and a second end;
• wherein the first end of the bar comprises a plurality of radially-extending protrusions that are spaced from each other a distance about equal to the width of one bracket so that one protrusion is on each side of, and in close proximity to, the one bracket, wherein said protrusions prevent the sliding of the bar axially out of the brackets and allows the bar to slide upwards out of the brackets;
• and,
• wherein the second end of the bar comprises no radial protrusions so that spools can be slid onto and off of the second end.

An A-frame spool caddy comprising:

• an A-frame comprising a generally rectangular front frame lying on a plane and a generally rectangular back frame lying on a plane, and the front frame and back frame each having a top end, a bottom end, and an outer surface, the front frame and back frame being pivotally connected together by an axle;
• a set of two spaced brackets attached to the outer surface of the front frame;
• and,
• a spool-receiving bar rotatably received in the two brackets so that the bar may be lifted out of the brackets;
• and
• a connecting limit mechanism connecting the front frame to the back frame, said connecting limit mechanism consisting of two portions pivotally connected to the front and back frames and to each other and a locking mechanism for limiting the pivoting of the two portions relative to each other and limiting the pivoting of the front and back frame relative to each other around the axle.
