A dispenser for drum packed welding wire comprised of numerous coils includes a circular lid having an upper surface and a lower surface. The lower surface is floatingly positionable on top of the packed welding wire. A frame extends from the upper surface. The frame includes a hub and a radially extending support extending from the hub to the upper surface. The hub includes an aperture. The dispenser also includes a de-coil conduit having inlet and outlet ends for guiding welding wire therethrough. The inlet end and outlet end are generally at 90° to one another. The inlet end is disposed to receive welding wire in the drum parallel to the coils, and the inlet end is moveable relative to the circular lid as the wire is fed into the de-coil conduit. The outlet end directs the fed welding wire to the aperture in the hub.

1. A dispenser for drum packed welding wire comprised of numerous coils, the dispenser comprising: a circular lid having an upper surface and a lower surface;said lower surface floatingly positionable on top of the packed welding wire;a frame extending from said upper surface;said frame including a hub and a radially extending support extending from said hub to said upper surface;said hub including an aperture through which welding wire is pulled;a de-coil conduit having inlet and outlet ends for guiding welding wire therethrough;said inlet end and outlet end being generally at 90° to one another;said inlet end being disposed to receive welding wire in said drum parallel to said coils;said inlet end being moveable relative to said circular lid as the wire is fed into said de-coil conduit;said outlet end directing the fed welding wire to said aperture in said hub. 2. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein said inlet end is disposed in proximity to an inside diameter of the drum packed welding wire. 3. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein said circular lid has an aperture approximating an inside diameter of the drum packed welding wire. 4. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein said circular lid has a diameter approximating an outside diameter of the drum packed welding wire. 5. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein said hub is spaced from said circular lid. 6. The dispenser of claim 1, wherein said hub includes a rotatable portion, and said de-coil conduit outlet end is connected to said rotatable portion. 7. A dispenser for drum packed welding wire, the drum packed welding wire including a container in which welding wire is packed into a plurality of coils forming a tubular column, the container having an outlet for the welding wire, the dispenser comprising: a circular lid having an upper surface and a lower surface;said lower surface floatingly positionable in said container on top of the packed welding wire;a frame extending from said upper surface;said frame including a hub and a radially extending support extending from said hub to said upper surface;an arm pivotably connected to said hub;a de-coil conduit having inlet and outlet ends for guiding welding wire therethrough, said de-coil conduit being mounted on said arm;said inlet end being disposed to receive welding wire in a direction that is parallel to said coils and tangential to a circumference of said coils. 8. The dispenser of claim 7, wherein said inlet end and outlet end of said de-coil conduit are generally at 90° to one another, and said outlet end directs said welding wire to said container outlet. 9. The dispenser of claim 7, wherein said inlet end of said de-coil conduit is disposed in proximity to an outside diameter of the tubular column of welding wire such that welding wire is fed into said inlet end from said outside diameter. 10. The dispenser of claim 9, including a plurality of floating pins cooperable with said circular lid and extending through apertures in said circular lid, said floating pins being disposed within an inside diameter of the tubular column of welding wire such that said floating pins restrict inward movement of said coils. 11. The dispenser of claim 9, including a plurality of fixed legs extending from the lower surface of said circular lid, said fixed legs being disposed within an inside diameter of the tubular column of welding wire such that said fixed legs restrict inward movement of said coils. 12. The dispenser of claim 11 in combination with a raised base disposed at the bottom of the container, the tubular column of welding wire being disposed on the raised base, and said fixed legs of said dispenser being receivable in the raised base. 13. The dispenser of claim 9, including a skirt extending from the lower surface of said circular lid, said skirt being disposed within an inside diameter of the tubular column of welding wire such that said skirt restricts inward movement of said coils. 14. The dispenser of claim 13 in combination with a raised base disposed at the bottom of the container, the tubular column of welding wire being disposed on the raised base, and said skirt of said dispenser being receivable in the raised base. 15. The dispenser of claim 9, wherein an outer edge of said circular lid has a curved, bowl shape. 16. The dispenser of claim 9, including a plurality of wipers mounted on said circular lid, each wiper having a free end that extends to an inner surface of said container. 17. The dispenser of claim 16, wherein each wiper is flexible in a direction parallel to said circular lid and generally rigid in a direction perpendicular to said circular lid such that said wipers restrict upward movement of said coils. 18. The dispenser of claim 7, wherein said inlet end is disposed in proximity to an inside diameter of the tubular column of welding wire such that welding wire is fed into said inlet end from said inside diameter. 19. The dispenser of claim 18, wherein said de-coil conduit is mounted on a distal end of said arm such the inlet and outlet ends of said de-coil conduit are parallel to said coils. 20. A method of dispensing drum packed welding wire comprised of a plurality of coils, the method comprising: providing a circular lid having an upper surface and a lower surface;floatingly positioning said lower surface on top of the packed welding wire;providing a frame extending from said upper surface, said frame including a hub and a radially extending support extending from said hub to said upper surface;operatively connecting a de-coil conduit to said hub, said de-coil conduit having inlet and outlet ends for guiding welding wire therethrough;disposing said inlet end to receive welding wire in said drum parallel to said coils such that a pulling force is exerted on said welding wire at said inlet end in a direction generally parallel to said coils, and a lifting force is not exerted on said coils or said circular lid.
