BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
   1. Field of the Invention 
   The present invention relates to a fence dispensing apparatus for use in connection with installing fencing wire along a line of fence posts. The fence dispensing apparatus has particular utility in connection with promoting safe and efficient unrolling of fencing wire. The fence dispensing apparatus has further utility in permitting fast and easy setup for operation. Additionally, the apparatus stretches unrolled fence. 
   2. Description of the Prior Art 
   Fence dispensing apparatuses facilitate unrolling of fencing wire along a line of fence posts. In fact, the fence installing art is crowded with various apparatuses that dispense fencing wire. However, the existing fence dispensing apparatuses are difficult to set up, lack sufficient safety features, and operate inefficiently. Additionally, the existing apparatuses inefficiently stretch unrolled wire. 
   For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,476,234 to Bertin J. St. Pierre discloses a vehicle-mounted wire dispensing apparatus. However, the St. Pierre &#39;234 patent does not disclose a wire dispensing apparatus that is easy to set up, and has a further drawback of operating inefficiently. More specifically, the St. Pierre apparatus requires its user to lift a wire roll several feet in order to load it on a spindle. This is a major drawback as wire rolls often weigh up to five hundred pounds. Additionally, the wire sits on a base plate that experiences excessive wear as the wire unrolls from the spindle. Because the spindle is welded to the base plate, a worn base plate is both difficult and expensive to replace. 
   Similarly, U.S. Pat. No. 5,582,216 to Michael T. Smith and Barry K. Cole discloses an apparatus for installing fencing wire. However, the Smith &#39;216 patent lacks a surface between the ground and its separator plates. This is a drawback because fences are often erected in fields containing loose brush and debris. Loose brush and debris may entangle themselves in the rolled wire, impeding the wire from dispensing efficiently. Moreover, the dispensing operation must be stopped to remove loose brush or impediments from the wire roll. 
   Lastly, U.S. Pat. No. 6,419,182 to Jimmy Jansky discloses a wire dispensing unit that operates unsafely and inefficiently. The Jansky &#39;182 patent does not permit a roll of wire to be secured to the apparatus, thus it cannot properly insure that wire stays on its spindle as it unrolls. This is a safety concern because the wire may injure someone if it ejects from the dispensing unit. Furthermore, this is an efficiency concern because it takes time to reload the wire roll each time it ejects from the spindle. Additionally, none of the aforementioned apparatuses efficiently stretch unrolled wire. 
   While the above-described devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe a fence dispensing apparatus that allows easy loading and safe, efficient operation. The St. Pierre &#39;234 patent makes no provision for loading wire on the spindle without lifting the heavy wire over the top of the spindle. In other words, setting up the St. Pierre apparatus is both dangerous and time consuming. The Smith &#39;216 patent makes no provision for keeping the rolled wire free from obstructions. This is a drawback because obstructions may entangle themselves in the rolled wire, impeding the wire from dispensing efficiently. The Jansky &#39;182 patent makes no provision for securing its load. The Jansky apparatus is unsafe because a wire roll may eject itself and harm someone. Moreover, having to stop and reload a wire roll each time it ejects is inefficient. 
   Therefore, a need exists for a new and improved fence dispensing apparatus that permits easy loading and safe, efficient operation. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills this need. In this respect, the fence dispensing apparatus according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of permitting safe and efficient unrolling of fencing wire along a line of fence posts. Additionally, the apparatus was developed for the purpose of allowing fast and easy setup for operation. 
   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
   In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of fence dispensing apparatuses now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved fence dispensing apparatus, and overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages and drawbacks of the prior art. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved fence dispensing apparatus which has all the advantages of the prior art mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a fence dispensing apparatus which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by the prior art, either alone or in any combination thereof 
   To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises a rectangular-shaped base member resting on an axle and two wheels. A pair of plates extends vertically from the base member near the wheels. More particularly, one plate is located near each wheel. Each plate has an aperture that is shaped and dimensioned for reception of a pin. The plates and pins are positioned to facilitate a three-point hookup for connecting the base plate to a tractor. Additionally, an extension from the front end of the base member connects the base member to a conventional trailer hitch receptacle. Moreover, the extension is adjustable for use in connection with the three-point tractor hookup. Therefore, the fence dispensing apparatus may be pulled behind a tractor, truck, or other motor vehicle. 
   In addition to the base member, the fence dispensing apparatus comprises components that permit fencing wire to be dispensed vertically and/or horizontally. Vertical operation is achieved through interaction of a spindle receptacle, a wear plate, a spindle, a spindle lock, and a spindle support. The spindle receptacle is fixed to the top of the base member. Additionally, a bore extends through the spindle receptacle. The circular-shaped wear plate has an aperture located at its center that is shaped and dimensioned for reception of the spindle receptacle. The wear plate is bolted to the base member with the spindle receptacle extending through its aperture. 
   The spindle is an elongated member having one end that is shaped and dimensioned for slidable insertion into the spindle receptacle&#39;s bore. The spindle lock extends perpendicularly from the opposite end of the spindle. Furthermore, the spindle lock has an aperture opposite the spindle that lies in a plane perpendicular to the spindle. 
   The spindle support extends vertically from the base member between the wear plate and the base member&#39;s front end. A spindle securing plate is hingedly attached to the spindle support opposite the base member. Moreover, the spindle securing plate has an aperture opposite the spindle support. When the spindle is inserted into the spindle receptacle the spindle lock&#39;s aperture aligns with the spindle securing plate&#39;s aperture. Furthermore, a bolt translates through the spindle lock&#39;s aperture and the spindle securing plate&#39;s aperture. After the bolt is inserted through the apertures, a nut threads on to the bolt, locking the spindle to the spindle securing plate. Removing the nut and bolt unlocks the spindle from the spindle securing plate. 
   In addition to vertical operation, the fence dispensing apparatus is capable of dispensing fence horizontally. Horizontal operation is achieved through interaction of a roller support, a roller securing assembly, a roller, a safety plate, a chain hook, and a stabilizer chain. The roller support has a square pipe shape and is fixed to the base member. More particularly, the roller support extends vertically from the base member. 
   Like the roller support, the roller securing assembly has a square pipe shape. A bore extends through the roller securing assembly, allowing the roller securing assembly to slide over the roller support. A threaded bolt screws into a complementarily threaded bolt receptacle in the roller securing assembly, exerting a clamping pressure on the roller support when the roller securing assembly is positioned at a selected height along the roller support. In other words, the bolt clamps the roller securing assembly to the roller support. 
   The roller has a pipe shape with an inner plate attached to one end. The roller securing assembly is attached to the inner plate opposite the roller. Furthermore, the end of the roller opposite the inner plate defines a bolt receptacle. The bolt receptacle is shaped and dimensioned for reception of a threaded bolt. The inner plate further comprises a notch formed in its perimeter. Moreover, the notch is located at the top of the inner plate. 
   An outer plate is removably attached to the roller opposite the inner plate by directing a bolt through the outer plate and into the roller&#39;s bolt receptacle. Prior to bolting the outer plate to the roller, a rod is inserted into the inner plate&#39;s notch. The rod runs parallel to the roller, extending past the roller&#39;s second end. Additionally, the outer plate has a rod receptacle extending from its perimeter. The outer plate&#39;s rod receptacle is shaped and dimensioned for reception of the rod. Therefore, when the outer plate is bolted to the roller, the rod receptacle receives and supports the rod. 
   The safety plate is a rectangular plate with a curved surface. The top of the safety plate is hingedly attached to the rod. Moreover, the curved portion of the safety plate extends from the rod toward the back end of the base member. More particularly, the safety plate curves downward toward the base member. In other words, the safety plate covers wire that is loaded on the roller. In this manner, the safety plate acts a gravity break to prevent injury if the wire breaks and back lashes. 
   The chain hook is fixed to the base member between the roller support and the base member&#39;s first end. The stabilizer chain is attached to the chain hook at one end. The opposite end of the stabilizer chain is fixed to a turnbuckle. Moreover, the turnbuckle is fixed to the roller securing assembly. 
   In addition to dispensing wire vertically and horizontally, the fence dispensing apparatus of the present invention stretches unrolled wire. The apparatus stretches unrolled wire using a winch and a wire interface. Furthermore, a cable attaches to the winch in a manner that permits it to unroll from, and back onto, the winch when the winch turns. A hook is attached to the opposite end of the cable. 
   The winch is fixed to a winch securing assembly that has a square pipe shape. A bore extends through the winch securing assembly, allowing the winch securing assembly to slide over the roller support. A threaded bolt screws into a complementarily threaded hole in the winch securing assembly, exerting a clamping pressure on the roller support when the winch securing assembly is positioned at a selected height along the roller support. In other words, the bolt clamps the winch securing assembly to the roller support. 
   The wire interface has a figure eight shape with a whole loop on one end and a semi loop on the opposite end. Additionally, two notches are formed between the two loops. The whole loop is shaped and dimensioned for reception of the winch&#39;s hook. The notches are shaped and dimensioned for reception of conventional barbed wire. More particularly, wire is connected to the wire interface by sliding it in the first notch from one direction and sliding it in the second notch from the opposite direction. 
   There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. The invention may also include additional components for dispensing wire with multiple spindles or multiple rollers. In other words, more than one roller securing assembly may be mounted on the roller support. Additionally, more than one roller support may be fixed to the base member. Similarly, more than one spindle receptacle and spindle support may be fixed to the base member for reception of additional spindles. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims attached. 
   Numerous objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon a reading of the following detailed description of presently preferred, but nonetheless illustrative, embodiments of the present invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In this respect, before explaining the current embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings.

   A spindle receptacle  22  is fixed to the base member  12 , extending perpendicularly from the top surface  18 . Additionally, the spindle receptacle  22  comprises an exterior surface  24  and an interior surface  26 . The interior surface  26  defines a bore  28  that extends through the spindle receptacle  22 . 
   The fence dispensing apparatus  10  further comprises a wear plate  30 . As shown in  FIG. 2 , the wear plate  30  has a top surface  32  and bottom surface  34 . Furthermore, the wear plate  30  defines an aperture  36  through its center. The wear plate&#39;s aperture  36  is shaped and dimensioned for reception of the spindle receptacle  22 . More particularly, the wear plate&#39;s bottom surface  34  sits on the base member&#39;s top surface  18  with the spindle receptacle  22  extending through its aperture  36 . The wear plate  30  protects the base member  12  from excessive wear as wire unrolls from the wire dispensing apparatus  10 . In the preferred embodiment, the wear plate  30  is bolted to the base member  12  with a plurality of bolts. Accordingly, the wear plate  30  is easily removed and replaced. 
     FIG. 1  further illustrates the fence dispensing apparatus&#39; spindle  38 . The spindle  38  comprises an elongated shape having a first end  40 , a second end  42 , and a spindle lock  44 . More particularly, the spindle&#39;s first end  40  is shaped and dimensioned for slidable insertion into the spindle receptacle&#39;s bore  28 . In other words, the spindle receptacle  28  positions the spindle&#39;s first end  40  and holds it in place. In the preferred embodiment, the spindle  38  is a four-foot pipe. Alternatively, the spindle  38  may be shorter or longer for dispensing various fence sizes. 
   The spindle lock  44  further comprises a first end  46 , a second end  48 , and an aperture  50 . The spindle lock&#39;s first end  46  is fixed to the spindle&#39;s second end  42  and extends horizontally from the vertically positioned spindle  38 . Furthermore, the spindle lock&#39;s second end  48  defines an aperture  50  therein. The spindle lock&#39;s aperture  50  lays in a plane that is perpendicular to the spindle  38 . 
   In association with the spindle  38 , the fence dispensing apparatus  10  further comprises a spindle support  52 . The spindle support  52  has a first end  54  and a second end  56 . More specifically, the spindle support&#39;s first end  54  is fixed to the base member&#39;s top surface  18  between the wear plate  30  and the base member&#39;s front end  14 . A spindle securing plate  58   a  is rotatably attached to the spindle support&#39;s second end  56 . Furthermore, the spindle securing plate defines an aperture  58   b  opposite said spindle support  52 . 
   In use, the spindle  38  is slid into the center of a roll of fence. Next, the spindle  38  is loaded onto the fence dispensing apparatus  10  by inserting its first end  40  into the spindle receptacle  22 . When the spindle  38  is positioned in the spindle receptacle  22 , the spindle lock&#39;s aperture  50  aligns with the spindle securing plate&#39;s aperture  58   b . The spindle securing plate  58   a  rotates on the spindle support  52 , permitting the spindle securing plate  58   a  to align with the spindle lock  44  when the spindle  38  is lengthened or shortened. 
   A bolt  60   a  is directed through the spindle lock&#39;s aperture  50  and the spindle securing plate&#39;s aperture  58   b . A nut  60   b  threads onto the bolt  60   a , locking the spindle  38  to the spindle securing plate  58   a . Removing the nut  60   b  and bolt  60   a  unlocks the spindle  38  from the spindle securing plate  58   a . As a motor vehicle pulls the fence dispensing apparatus forward, fencing wire unrolls from the spindle  38  and off the apparatus&#39; back end  16 . 
     FIG. 1  further illustrates the fence dispensing apparatus&#39; roller support  62 . The roller support  62  has an elongated square shape comprising a first end  64  and a second end  66 . Furthermore, the roller support&#39;s first end  64  is fixed to the base member&#39;s top surface  18 . The roller support  62  extends vertically from the base member  12  to its second end  66 . 
   In association with the roller support  62 , the fence dispensing apparatus further comprises a roller securing assembly  68  and a roller  80 .  FIG. 4  further illustrates the roller securing assembly  68  and roller  80 . The roller securing assembly  68  is square-shaped pipe with an exterior surface  70  and an interior surface  72 . Moreover, the interior surface  72  defines a bore  74  that extends through the roller securing assembly  68 . The bore  74  is shaped and dimensioned for slidable reception of the roller support  62 . A threaded bolt  76  screws into a complementarily bolt receptacle  78  in the roller securing assembly  68 . Tightening the bolt  76  exerts a clamping pressure on the roller support  62 , securing the roller securing assembly  68  to the roller support  62 . Loosening the bolt  76  releases the clamping pressure on the roller support  62 , permitting the roller securing assembly  68  to be repositioned on the roller support  62 . 
   As shown in  FIG. 4 , the roller  80  has a pipe shape with a first end  82  and a second end  84 . Additionally, the roller&#39;s second end  84  defines a bolt receptacle  86  therein. A circular-shaped inner plate  88  is fixed to the roller&#39;s first end  82 . Furthermore, the roller securing assembly  68  is fixed to the inner plate  88  opposite the roller  80 . A circular-shaped outer plate  90  removably attaches to the roller&#39;s second end  84 . More particularly, the outer plate  90  defines and aperture  92  through its center. A bolt  94  is directed through the outer plate&#39;s aperture  92  and into the roller&#39;s bolt receptacle  86 . The bolt  94  secures the outer plate  90  to the roller  80 . 
   In addition to connecting the roller  80  and the roller securing assembly  68 , the inner plate  88  defines a notch  96  located between its center and perimeter. More specifically, the notch  96  is positioned at the top of the inner plate  88  immediately inside its perimeter. Additionally, the outer plate  90  defines a rod receptacle  98  on its perimeter. Before securing the outer plate  90  to the roller  80  the rod receptacle  98  is aligned on the same plane with the inner plate&#39;s notch  96 . A rod  100  slides in the inner plate&#39;s notch  96  and extends past the rod receptacle  98  running parallel to the roller  80 . 
   A safety plate  102  is hingedly attached to the rod  100 . The safety plate  102  is a rectangular plate with a curved surface. Furthermore, the curved portion of the safety plate  102  extends from the rod  100  toward the base member&#39;s back end  16 . More particularly, the safety plate  102  curves downward toward the base member  12 . In other words, the safety plate  102  covers wire that is loaded on the roller  80 . In this manner, the safety plate  102  acts a gravity break to prevent injury if the wire breaks and backlashes. 
   Referring back to  FIG. 1 , the fence dispensing apparatus  10  further comprises a chain hook  104  and stabilizer chain  106 . The chain hook  104  is fixed to the base member&#39;s top surface  18  between the roller support  62  and the base member&#39;s front end  14 . The stabilizer chain  106  has a first end  108  and a second end  110 . The stabilizer chain&#39;s first end  108  is fixed to the chain hook  104 . On the other hand, the stabilizer chain&#39;s second end  110  is fixed to a turnbuckle  112 . Furthermore, turnbuckle  112  is fixed to the roller securing assembly  68 . The stabilizer chain  106  bolsters the roller support  62 , counterbalancing the force from unrolled wire. 
   In use, the roller securing assembly  68  is positioned on the roller support  62  at the desired height. A bolt  76  screws into a bolt receptacle  78  in the roller securing assembly  68 , securing the roller securing assembly  68  to the roller support  62 . Next, a roll of wire is loaded on the roller  80 . After loading the wire on the roller  80 , the rod  100  is inserted into the inner plate&#39;s notch  96 . Then the outer plate  90  is secured to the roller&#39;s second end  80  so that the rod  100  extends through the outer plate&#39;s rod receptacle  98 . The outer plate  90  holds the rolled wire on the roller  80 . As the fence dispensing apparatus  10  is pulled forward, wire unrolls from the roller  80  and off the apparatus&#39; back end  16 . 
     FIG. 5  illustrates the fence dispensing apparatus&#39; axle member  114 . More particularly, the axle member  114  comprises a first end  116  and a second end  118 . The axle member  114  is attached to the base member&#39;s bottom surface  20 . A first wheel  120  is removably attached to the axle member&#39;s first end  116 . Similarly, a second wheel  122  is removably attached to the axle member&#39;s second end  118 . The axle member  114 , first wheel  120 , and second wheel  122  permit the fence dispensing apparatus  10  to roll. 
   Referring back to  FIG. 1 , the fence dispensing apparatus  10  further comprises a hitch extension  124 . The hitch extension  124  has a first end  126 , a second end  128 , and a hitch receiver  130 . More specifically, the hitch extension&#39;s first end  126  is fixed to the base member&#39;s front end  14 . The hitch extension  124  extends horizontally from the base member  12  to its second end  1128 . The hitch receiver  130  is integrally attached to the hitch extension&#39;s second end  128 . Moreover, the hitch receiver  130  is shaped and dimensioned for reception of a typical ball type trailer hitch. Alternatively, the hitch receiver  130  may be shaped and dimensioned for reception of other trailer hitch styles. Additionally, the hitch extension  124  adjusts to permit a three-point tractor hookup. 
   A pair of plates  132  extends vertically from the base member  12 . More particularly, one plate is located near each wheel,  120  and  122 . Each plate  132  defines an aperture  134  that is shaped and dimensioned for reception of a pin  136 . The plates  132  and pins  136  are positioned to facilitate a three-point hookup for connecting the base plate  12  to a tractor. 
   After the fence dispensing apparatus  10  dispenses the desired amount of wire, a winch  138  and wire interface  150  are utilized to stretch the unrolled wire. The winch  138  is similar to a conventional boat winch. Moreover, one end of a cable  140  is fixed to the winch  138  in a manner that permits the cable to be unrolled and rolled back onto the winch  138 . The opposite end of the cable  140  is fixed to a hook  142 . Furthermore, the winch  138  is fixed to a winch securing assembly  144 . 
   The winch securing assembly  144  is a square-shaped pipe with an exterior surface  146  and an interior surface  148 . Furthermore, the interior surface  148  defines a bore  150  that extends through the winch securing assembly  144 . The bore  150  is shaped and dimensioned for slidable reception of the roller support  62 . A threaded bolt  152  screws into a complementarily bolt receptacle  154  in the winch securing assembly  144 . Tightening the bolt  152  exerts a clamping pressure on the roller support  62 , securing the winch securing assembly  144  to the roller support  62 . Loosening the bolt  152  releases the clamping pressure on the roller support  62 , permitting the winch securing assembly  144  to be repositioned on the roller support  62 . 
   The winch&#39;s hook  142  connects to a wire interface  156 .  FIG. 6  better illustrates the hook  142  and wire interface  156 . The wire interface  156  has a figure eight shape. More particularly, the wire interface comprises a first end  158 , a second end  160 , a whole loop  162 , a semi loop  164 , and a bridge portion  166 . The first end  158  is integrally attached to the whole loop  162 . On the other hand, the second end  160  is integrally attached to the semi loop  162 . The bridge portion  166  connects the first  158  and second  160  ends. Moreover, the bridge portion  166  defines a first notch  168  and a second notch  170 . 
   In use, the hook  142  slides through the whole loop  162 , associating the hook  142  and wire interface  156 . In turn, the unrolled wire is connected to the wire interface  156  by sliding it through the first notch  162  in one direction and sliding it thorough the second notch  164  in the opposite direction. The advantage of connecting the wire to the wire interface  156  in this manner is that the unrolled wire may be stretched without cutting it loose from the rolled wire on the fence dispensing apparatus  10 . Turning the winch  138  stretches the unrolled wire. In other words, turning the winch  138  retracts the cable  140  and hook  142 . Retracting the cable  140  and hook  142  reels in the wire interface  156  and stretches the wire. 
   While a preferred embodiment of the fence dispensing apparatus has been described in detail, it should be apparent that modifications and variations thereto are possible, all of which fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention. With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.

Optionally, a plurality of roller supports may be fixed to the base member. This configuration would also permit multiple strands of wire to be dispensed concurrently. Similar configurations can be utilized by employing multiple spindles. 
   Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.

Summary:
A fence dispensing apparatus for installing fencing wire along a line of fence posts. The fence dispensing apparatus permits easy setup along with efficient and safe operation. In addition to dispensing wire, the apparatus stretches unrolled wire using a winch and a wire interface. The fence dispensing apparatus essentially comprises a base member that sits on an axle and wheels. Moreover, the base member connects to a motor vehicle via a hitch receiver or a three-point tractor hookup. As the vehicle travels along a fence line, the apparatus dispenses wire from a vertically aligned spindle and/or from a horizontally aligned roller. The spindle disconnects from the base member, permitting it to be easily loaded with wire and set up for operation. Additionally, a spindle lock and spindle support act in concert to safely hold the loaded spindle in position. Furthermore, a wear plate between the loaded spindle and the base member protects the base member from excessive wear during operation. In addition to the spindle, a horizontally aligned roller dispenses wire. The horizontal roller includes a safety plate that protects against injury if the unrolled wire breaks and backlashes. Unrolled wire may be connected to a wire interface, permitting the unrolled wire to be associated to a cable without cutting the wire. Turning the apparatus&#39; winch reels in the cable, stretching the unrolled wire.
