The invention a device with retractable anti-roll means designed in particular for a wire dispensing reel () having a cylindrical body () and end flanges (). The end flange () comprises a circular peripheral rolling edge () provided with slots () wherein slide elastic blades () the ends of which constitute retractable radial anti-roll projections (). The elastic blades () are integral with a coaxially operated ring () whereof the rotation enables to project or retract the radial anti-roll projections (). Thus it is possible to selectively allow the reel to turn by retracting the radial anti-roll projections (), or to lock the reel in rotation by extending the radial anti-roll projections ()
