Fence spool apparatus

Abstract

A fence spool apparatus includes a base unit which includes a base plate portion, a base fixing portion projecting out from a bottom side of the base plate portion, and a spindle-reception well extending into a top side of the base plate portion. A bottom spindle unit includes a spindle plate portion, a spindle member projecting out from a bottom side of the spindle plate portion, and a bottom shaft-reception sleeve extending up from a top side of the spindle plate portion. A spindle shaft unit is received in the bottom shaft-reception sleeve. A bottom centering assembly extends between the spindle plate portion and the bottom shaft-reception sleeve. A top centering assembly is attached to a top portion of the spindle shaft unit. The fence spool apparatus is used to unroll a roll of wire fence as the roll of wire fence spins on the apparatus.

What is claimed as being new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent of the united states is as follows:  
     
         1 . A fence spool apparatus, comprising: 
 a base unit which includes a base plate portion, a base fixing portion projecting out from a bottom side of said base plate portion, and a spindle-reception well extending into a top side of said base plate portion,    a bottom spindle unit which includes a spindle plate portion, a spindle member projecting out from a bottom side of said spindle plate portion, and a bottom shaft-reception sleeve extending up from a top side of said spindle plate portion,    a spindle shaft unit received in said bottom shaft-reception sleeve,    a bottom fence spool centering assembly extending between said spindle plate portion and said bottom shaft-reception sleeve, and    a top fence spool centering assembly attached to a top portion of said spindle shaft unit.    
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of    claim 1    wherein said base fixing portion is in a form of a pointed spike.  
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of    claim 1   , further including: 
 a hammer-impaction member received in said spindle-reception well when said spindle member is not received in said spindle-reception well.    
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of    claim 1    wherein said base fixing portion and said spindle-reception well are located along a longitudinal axis.  
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of    claim 1    wherein said bottom fence spool centering assembly includes a plurality of bottom centering rod members extending between said spindle plate portion and said bottom shaft-reception sleeve.  
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of    claim 1    wherein said top fence spool centering assembly includes: 
 a top shaft-reception sleeve attached to a top portion of said spindle shaft unit, and  
 a plurality of top centering rods connected to a top portion of said top shaft-reception sleeve and a bottom portion of said top shaft-reception sleeve and extending radially outward from said top shaft-reception sleeve.  
 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of    claim 1    wherein said spindle shaft unit includes: 
 a first spindle shaft member received in said bottom shaft-reception sleeve, and  
 a second spindle shaft member connected to said first spindle shaft member.
