A wire dispensing device for containing a roll of wire having a free end. The device includes a plurality of enclosure walls connected to each other and forming an enclosure, where at least one of the walls is operable between an open position, thereby providing access to an internal area of the enclosure, and a closed position, thereby substantially enclosing the roll of wire positioned therein. At least one dispensing orifice extends through at least one surface of the enclosure and permits passage of the free end of the wire therethrough for use in dispensing the wire from the device. A method of dispensing wire from a roll of wire, and a method of manufacturing a dispensing device are also provided.

The invention claimed is: 1. A wire dispensing device for containing a roll of wire having a free end, the device comprising:a plurality of enclosure walls connected to each other and forming an enclosure having a first half portion moveably connected to a second half portion through a connection arrangement, the first and second half portions operable between an open position, thereby providing access to an internal area of the enclosure, and a closed and substantially abutting position, thereby substantially enclosing the roll of wire positioned therein;a first hemispherical hub having a nipple projection arranged on and projecting from an inner surface of the first half portion, and a second hemispherical hub arranged on and projecting from an inner surface of the second half portion, such that in the closed and substantially abutting position, a central portion is formed for locating, centering, and/or permitting at least one of the roll of wire and the spool associated with the roll of wire to spin with reduced friction and the wire to be dispensed therefrom; andat least one dispensing orifice extending through at least one surface of the enclosure and configured to permit passage of the free end of the wire therethrough for use in dispensing the wire from the device.
