Abstract

A portable cable and wire dispensing apparatus, used to avoid the time-consuming, process of carrying multiple spools of cable and/or wire to a work site. The apparatus features a central cable and wire containment chamber and a cable and wire spool mounting bar within the containment chamber. The apparatus allow for the individual movement of each spool of cable or wire, preventing the unwanted unraveling of cable and/or wire from other spools that was not intended for current extraction. The outer case about the cable and wire spools provides additional protection from the elements, preventing possible early decay of the cable and/or wire resting in the apparatus containment chamber.

Claims

1. A line member transporting apparatus, wherein said thread member transporting apparatus comprises a central chamber and a shaft assembly, wherein said shaft assembly is removably attached at its ends to opposing side walls of said central chamber.

2. The line member transporting apparatus of claim 1, wherein said line member transporting apparatus further comprises at least one central chamber sealing member, wherein said at least one central chamber sealing member substantially encloses a top section of said central chamber.

3. The line member transporting apparatus of claim 2, wherein said line member transporting apparatus further comprises at least one fastening assembly, wherein every member of said at least one fastening assembly removeably attaches said at least one central chamber sealing member to said central chamber member.

4. The line member transporting apparatus of claim 3, wherein said at least one central chamber sealing member further comprises a plurality of line member passage cavities, wherein at least one line member passes through one line member passage cavity from said central chamber and passes through a second line member passage cavity into said central chamber and, wherein additional lengths of said at least one line member are extracted from said line member transporting apparatus by applying a force on said at least one line member in a vectoral direction away from said central chamber.

5. The line member transporting apparatus of claim 4, wherein said shaft assembly is substantially centrally located and, wherein said shaft assembly comprises a substantially cylindrical member and at least one separator assembly, wherein said at least one separator assembly comprises at least one helically threaded cavity member, at least one substantially circular ring member and at least one separator locking member, wherein said at least one separator locking member removeably attaches said separator assembly to said central shaft member by passing said at least one separator locking member through said at least one helically threaded cavity until said separator assembly is tensionally secured to said substantially cylindrical member.

6. The line member transporting apparatus of claim 5, wherein said central chamber sealing member further comprises a shaft member support assembly, wherein said shaft member support assembly further comprises a plurality of tension placement leaves.

10. The line member transporting apparatus of claim 3, wherein said at least one central chamber sealing member further comprises:

a plurality of line member passage cavities, wherein at least one wherein at least one line member passes through one line member passage cavity from said central chamber, wherein additional lengths of said at least one line member are extracted from said line member transporting apparatus by applying a force on said at least one line member in a vectoral direction away from said central chamber and, wherein said at least one line member passes through a second line member passage cavity into said central chamber, wherein said line member is secured during transport, and a plurality of cavity sealing members, wherein said plurality of cavity sealing members comprise a substantially water and weather resistant seal about said plurality of line member passage cavities.

11. The line member transporting apparatus of claim 10, wherein said shaft assembly is substantially centrally located and, wherein said shaft assembly comprises a substantially cylindrical member and at least one separator assembly, wherein said at least one separator assembly comprises at least one helically threaded cavity member, at least one substantially circular ring member and at least one separator locking member, wherein said at least one separator locking member removeably attaches said separator assembly to said central shaft member by passing said at least one separator locking member through said at least one helically threaded cavity until said separator assembly is tensionally secured to said substantially cylindrical member and, wherein said shaft assembly is removably attached at its ends to opposing side walls of said central chamber.

12. The line member transporting apparatus of claim 10, wherein said shaft assembly is substantially centrally located and, wherein said shaft assembly comprises a substantially cylindrical member and at least one separator assembly, wherein said at least one separator assembly comprises at least one helically threaded cavity member, at least one substantially circular ring member and at least one separator locking member, wherein said at least one separator locking member removeably attaches said separator assembly to said central shaft member by passing said at least one separator locking member through said at least one helically threaded cavity until said separator assembly is tensionally secured to said substantially cylindrical member

13. The line member transporting apparatus of claim 12, wherein said central chamber sealing member further comprises a plurality of shaft member support assemblies, wherein said plurality of shaft member support assemblies further comprise a base plate member and a plurality of tension placement leaves.

14. The line member transporting apparatus of claim 12, wherein said shaft assembly is removeably attached at one end to one member of said plurality of shaft member support assemblies and, wherein said shaft assembly is removeably attached at a second end to a second member of said plurality of shaft member support assemblies, wherein said first member of said plurality of shaft member support assemblies is attached to one wall of said central chamber and, wherein said second member of said plurality of shaft member support assemblies is attached to a second opposing wall of said central chamber.

15. The line member transporting apparatus of claim 12, wherein said substantially cylindrical member comprises a thickness, wherein said thickness allows for said substantially cylindrical member to pass through cable or wire spool.

7. A hand carried portable line member transporting apparatus, wherein said thread member transporting apparatus comprises:

a central chamber;

a shaft assembly; and

an enclosing assembly.

8. The line member transporting apparatus of claim 7, wherein said enclosing assembly comprises:

at least one central chamber sealing member, wherein said at least one central chamber sealing member substantially encloses a top section of said central chamber;

at least one hinge assembly, wherein said at least one hinge assembly attaches said at least one central chamber sealing member to said central chamber; and

at least one manual gripping member.

9. The line member transporting apparatus of claim 8, wherein at least one enclosing fastening assembly comprises:

a top member, wherein top member comprises an upper concave section and, wherein said top member is attached to said at least one central chamber sealing member;

a bottom member comprising at least two cavity members and, wherein said bottom member is attached to a central chamber outer surface; and

a hinge member, wherein each end of said hinge member removeably attaches into said at least two cavity members and, wherein said hinge member swings over and into said upper concave section, wherein said at least one central chamber sealing member is locked to said central chamber member.
