Abstract
A tension brush assembly for facilitating the unreeling of wire from a wire-carrying spool, comprising a support body constituted of two annular members which are disposed broadside and in axial alignment with one another, and a plurality of flexible and resilient nylon tines which are clamped between the members with their outer ends being free and unattached, and which extend radially with respect to the body beyond outer peripheral edge portions thereof. The annular members are secured to one another by stitching which extends around the edge portions. Means are provided on the body to enable it to be mounted on one end of a spool, whereby the free ends of the tines extend beyond the spool flange portions. The arrangement is such that the tines prevent the wire from unravelling when the take-off speed is reduced or when the wire is halted. During normal take-off or unreeling, the wire sweeps past the flexible tines as the tension is either maintained constant or increased. As a result, excessive looseness and kinking of unreeling wire is greatly minimized.
