Abstract
A material dispensing system for allowing convenient replacement of a spool of elongate material. The material dispensing system includes a tubular main body formed for receiving a spool of material, a handle attached to the tubular main body, and a set of retaining prongs positioned within the main body for selectively retaining the spool of material upon the main body. The retaining prongs are comprised of a resilient material for allowing the distal portions thereof to be forcibly contracted thereby allowing the spool of material to be unloaded and a replacement spool to be loaded. The retaining prongs have a flanged portion that extend outwardly and have a total width greater than an inner diameter of the spool of material.
Claims17
A material dispensing system, comprising:
- a main body having an open end and an interior portion, wherein said main body is formed for rotatably receiving a spool of material;
- a handle structure attached to said main body;
- a base secured within said interior portion;
- a plurality of resilient prongs extending from said base and a distal portion of said prongs extending outwardly from said open end within said spool of material and extending past said spool of material;
- and
- a flange extending from each of said prongs for retaining said spool of material upon said main body.
A material dispensing system, comprising:
- a main body having an open end and an interior portion, wherein said main body is formed for rotatably receiving a spool of material;
- a handle structure attached to said main body, wherein said handle structure includes a support member extending from an end of said main body opposite of said open end and an upper handle attached to a distal end of said support member;
- at least one cutting edge secured within said support member for cutting an elongate material from said spool of material;
- a base secured within said interior portion;
- a plurality of resilient prongs extending from said base and a distal portion of said prongs extending outwardly from said open end;
- and
- a flange extending from each of said prongs for retaining said spool of material upon said main body.
A material dispensing system, comprising:
- a main body having an open end, a plurality of rib members extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of said main body and an interior portion, wherein said main body is formed for rotatably receiving a spool of material;
- a handle structure attached to said main body;
- a base secured within said interior portion;
- a plurality of resilient prongs extending from said base and a distal portion of said prongs extending outwardly from said open end;
- and
- a flange extending from each of said prongs for retaining said spool of material upon said main body.
