Abstract

The wire guide and retainer assembly of this invention is utilized with a wire dispenser stand assembly to dispense a wire strand member from the reel members mounted on a support assembly. The wire guide and retainer assembly includes (1) a first wire guide assembly; and (2) a second wire guide assembly. The first wire guide assembly includes a first frame support assembly secured to the support assembly; and a first pulley assembly mounted on said first frame support assembly. The first frame support assembly includes a pair of support arms having one end pivotally connected to the support assembly and a support shaft mounted between the support arms. The first pulley assembly is rotatably mounted on the support shaft and axially movable thereon. The second wire guide assembly is substantially identical to the first wire assembly with a second pulley assembly mounted on a support shaft member. The first pulley assembly and the second pulley assembly are both rotatable and axially movable on their respective support shafts to properly remove the wire strand member from the reel member while maintaining the proper tension thereon.
