Abstract:
A dispensing system for elongate material comprising:a container including an outer wall portion, an inner wall portion located concentrically within the outer wall portion, and a bottom wall portion interconnecting the lower ends of the inner and outer wall portions so as to define an endless channel therebetween for storing a coil of elongate material therein, an upper surface of said container being open above said channel; a dispensing guide which is supported on an upper surface of said container and operatively cooperates with said container to substantially prevent a coil of elongate material stored in the endless channel of said container from becoming entangled when the elongate material is dispensed from the container through the upper opening above said channel, said dispensing guide including a main body which comprises a lower guide having a base for resting on said container and a flared upper end which is wider than said base, and an upper guide having a lower end which fits inside of said flared upper end of said lower guide; and, a fastening mechanism which selectively fixes said dispensing guide onto said container.
