Abstract

Wire, cable, rope, and the like, in the form of an annular coil is stored on a vertical hollow spindle which rests on a base that has downwardly extending legs. The spindle and annular coil are disposed over an opening in the base so that one end of the wire or other material can be pulled from the upper end of the coil, down through the spindle and opening in the base, and out from under the base. An upwardly converging cap on the upper end of the spindle prevents adjacent turns of the material from tangling when the material is pulled from the coil.
