Hitch Wire Stand

Abstract

This invention relates to a multiple wire dispensing hitch stand assembly which is adapted to fit into a receiver hitch of a vehicle. The multiple wire dispensing assembly includes 1) an extension bar that is adapted at one end to fit into a vehicle hitch; 2) a shaft support member adapted to receive and retain the second end of the extension bar; 3) a shaft support assembly perpendicularly connected to the shaft support member. The shaft support assembly contains a plurality of parallel spaced shaft members centrally connected to the longitudinal axis of the spindle support assembly. The shaft members each includes a spool support rotational member secured coaxially thereon, and additionally, a retaining cap is secured to the outer end of each shaft member. The shaft members are adapted to receive and retain a spool of wire thereon and to provide controlled contact therewith when the wire strands from the respective spools of wire are to be dispensed therefrom.

1 . A multiple wire dispensing hitch stand assembly adapted for use with a vehicle receiver hitch, comprising:
 a) an extension bar having a first end thereof that includes a substantially square cross section that is adapted for releasable insertion into said vehicle receiver hitch, said receiver hitch having a substantially square cross section, the inside dimensions thereof being larger than the outside dimensions of said first end of said extension bar and being adapted to receive and surround a portion of said first end of said extension bar, and said extension bar having a second end that is disposed opposite with respect to said first end, said first end includes a hole in said extension bar adapted to align with a receiver hitch hole in said receiver hitch whereby a retaining pin is adapted for insertion through said hole and said receiver hitch hole;   b) a shaft support member that is adapted to releasably receive and surround a portion of said second end of said extension bar, said shaft support member having a substantially square cross section the inside dimensions thereof being larger than the outside dimensions of said second end of said extension bar, said second end includes a hole in said extension bar adapted to align with a shaft support hole in said shaft support member whereby a retaining pin is adapted for insertion through said extension bar hole and said receiver shaft support member hole;   c) a shaft support assembly having a longitudinal axis connected in a substantially perpendicular alignment with respect to the longitudinal axis of said shaft support member;   d) a support member interconnecting said shaft support member and said shaft support assembly, wherein said longitudinal axis of said support member is disposed such that a right triangle is formed with respect the longitudinal axis of said shaft support assembly and said shaft support member;   e) a plurality of shaft members are extended in a substantially perpendicular alignment through said shaft support assembly such that their longitudinal axes are centrally secured to said shaft support member and disposed at a predetermined spaced apart parallel relationship in respect to one another;   f) a plurality of spool support rotational members are located coaxially on the exteriors of said support shafts, said rotational members permitting rotation of at least one spool of wire thereon; and   g) a plurality of retaining caps connected to the outer edges of said spool shaft members, said retaining caps prevents a spool of wire from sliding off a shaft member during use;   whereby a strand of elongate material, such as electrical wire is dispensed off of a single or multiple spools of wire, when said strand is attached to a fixed object and then a vehicle is moved a distance to a desired location causing the strand to be dispensed as the spool or spools rotate around each shaft member.   
   
   
       2 . A multiple wire dispensing hitch stand as described in  claim 1 , further including a square sealing cap on the upper end of said shaft support assembly.
