Abstract:
1. A wire payoff system for dispensing associated wire from a coil defining an inner circumference and an outer circumference, comprising: an annular base having at least a first wall portion that is angled with respect to a center axis of the annular base for contacting the associated wire substantially at an inner circumference of the coil, wherein the at least a first wall portion defines an upper rim that extends above the top of the coil for guiding the associated wire during payoff and a lower rim that extends below said wire; and an annular frame member positioned between said upper and lower rims adjacent a top surface of said coil, including one or more protrusions extending radially inward from the annular frame member for inhibiting multiple loops of associated wire from dispending at the same time; and, wherein the annular base is detached with respect to the annular frame member.
