Material dispenser system
A material dispenser system for efficiently dispensing elongate material. The material dispenser system includes a first prong and a second prong resiliently connected by a base in a substantially U-shaped structure. The prongs each have a shoulder and a jaw that receive a spool between thereof. To load a spool, the user compresses the handles of the prongs thereby allowing insertion of the distal portions of the prongs through the core of the spool. To dispense material from the spool, the user compresses the handles of the prongs thereby allowing free rotation of the spool upon the prongs. If the user desires tension within the elongate material being dispenses, the handles are allowed to expand slightly so that the prongs frictionally engage the core of the spool. When it is desired not to have elongate material dispensed, the user allows the prongs to expand outwardly thereby frictionally engaging the core of the spool to prevent rotation of the spool.
1. A material dispenser system for dispensing elongate material from a spool, comprising:
a first prong including a first jaw, a first shoulder, a first body extending between said first jaw and said first shoulder, and a first handle on an opposite side of said first shoulder;
a second prong including a second jaw, a second shoulder, a second body extending between said second jaw and said second shoulder, and a second handle on an opposite side of said second shoulder; and
wherein said first prong and said second prong are connected together opposite of said first jaw and said second jaw.
2. The material dispenser system of claim 1 , wherein said prongs are comprised of a resilient material.
3. The material dispenser system of claim 1 , wherein a base connects said first prong and said second prong opposite of said jaws.
4. The material dispenser system of claim 1 , wherein said prongs define a space between thereof.
5. The material dispenser system of claim 1 , wherein said prongs form a U-shaped structure.
6. The material dispenser system of claim 1 , wherein said first shoulder and said second shoulder include a first slot and a second slot respectively for receiving a portion of elongate material from a spool.
7. The material dispenser system of claim 1 , wherein said prongs substantially mirror one another.
8. The material dispenser system of claim 1 , wherein said prongs are substantially parallel to one another.
9. A material dispenser system for dispensing elongate material from a spool, comprising:
a first prong including a first jaw, a first shoulder, a first body extending between said first jaw and said first shoulder, and a first handle on an opposite side of said first shoulder;
a second prong including a second jaw, a second shoulder, a second body extending between said second jaw and said second shoulder, and a second handle on an opposite side of said second shoulder; and
wherein said first prong and said second prong are connected together opposite of said first handle and said second handle.
10. The material dispenser system of claim 9 , wherein said prongs are comprised of a resilient material.
11. The material dispenser system of claim 9 , wherein an end portion connects said first prong and said second prong opposite of said jaws.
12. The material dispenser system of claim 9 , wherein said prongs define a space between thereof.
13. The material dispenser system of claim 9 , wherein said prongs form a U-shaped structure.
14. The material dispenser system of claim 9 , wherein said first shoulder and said second shoulder include a first slot and a second slot respectively for receiving a portion of elongate material from a spool.
15. The material dispenser system of claim 9 , wherein said first jaw and said second jaw include a first slot and a second slot respectively for receiving a portion of elongate material from a spool.
16. The material dispenser system of claim 9 , wherein said prongs substantially mirror one another.
17. The material dispenser system of claim 9 , wherein said prongs are substantially parallel to one another.
18. A method of operating a material dispenser apparatus for dispensing elongate material from a spool, said material dispenser apparatus comprising a first prong including a first jaw, a first shoulder, a first body extending between said first jaw and said first shoulder and a first handle on an opposite side of said first shoulder, a second prong including a second jaw, a second shoulder, a second body extending between said second jaw and said second shoulder and a second handle on an opposite side of said second shoulder, said method comprising the steps of:
(a) compressing said first handle and said second handle thereby drawing said first body and said second body towards one another;
(b) inserting a spool onto said material dispenser apparatus by extending said prongs through a core of said spool until said spool is positioned between said jaws and said shoulders; and
(c) releasing said first handle and said second handle thereby allowing said prongs to expand outwardly.
19. The method of operating a material dispenser apparatus of claim 18 , said method further including the step of compressing said first handle and said second handle to create a desired level of friction between said prongs and said core of said spool.
20. The method of operating a material dispenser apparatus of claim 18 , said method further including the step of pulling said material dispenser apparatus away from an object wherein an end of said elongate material is attached to.
