Patent ID: 7866594

Claim:
A precoiled cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe dispensing device for dispensing an unstrapped precoiled cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe having an internal open cavity about which cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe is precoiled, with said precoiled PEX pipe being unbound from binding straps used to bind and prevent an uncoiling of the precoiled PEX pipe, said dispensing device consisting essentially of the unstrapped precoiled cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe and a substantially rigid enclosed confining member sized to retain and contain the unstrapped precoiled PEX pipe from a premature uncoiling, with said confining member being further equipped with laterally disposed sidewalls for laterally confining the unstrapped precoiled PEX pipe therewithin, a detachable reel having an insertable spool sized of a smaller size than the internal open cavity so as to mate within said open cavity and thereby suspend said unstrapped precoiled PEX pipe within said confining member, with said confining member and said detachable reel serving to confine the unstrapped precoiled PEX pipe within said confining member and thereby permit an uncoiling of the unstrapped precoiled PEX pipe therefrom when the device with said unstrapped precoiled PEX pipe and said reel are placed in an uncoiling position, a mountable reel axle upon which the detachable reel and the insertable spool revolve, axial mounts for axially mounting the reel axle between said sidewalls, a suspending member for placing the sidewalls of the PEX pipe dispensing device in a vertically aligned position and thereby suspend the dispensing device at a vertically aligned dispensing position at a work site, a dispensing port positioned in substantial directional alignment with the unstrapped precoiled PEX pipe so as to permit the uncoiling of the unstrapped PEX pipe therefrom, and an accessing port which allows for a placement and a removal of the unstrapped precoiled PEX pipe from the detachable reel and said confining member.
