Abstract:
1. A wire guiding apparatus for dispensing single loops of wire in a coil from a container having container walls, the coil of wire defining an inner circumference, said wire guiding apparatus consisting essentially of: a base including a wall member that tangentially contacts the coil of wire at a region proximal to the inner circumference, the wall member defining a rim portion; and, a plurality of thin flexible overlapping filaments said filaments only extending from a circumference of the rim to the container walls, said filaments affixed to the rim portion and extending radially outward from a top of said rim portion toward the container walls, a length of said filaments sized to completely cover a top surface of the coil, the plurality of filaments being elastically deformable for allowing single loops of associated wire to dispense from the coil at a peripheral end of said filaments and the container walls.
