Abstract
An apparatus for supporting and handling spools of the type intended to carry wire, and for rotating such spools at relatively high speeds in order to fill them. The apparatus comprises a housing having an access opening and a swivel carrier on the housing, capable of supporting the spool on one of its ends and of shifting the spool from the exterior of the housing to the interior thereof. The carrier, once it arrives at the interior, can lower the spool to an operative position on a special drive mechanism that is capable of rotating it. In addition, a traverse mechanism is provided in the housing, for guiding and reciprocating a strand of wire as it is being wound onto the spool. By virture of the arrangement wherein the carrier can swing the spool between the exterior and interior of the housing, lifting and handling of the spool is greatly facilitated. This is particularly important where spools weighing hundreds of pounds are being employed.
