Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a rope dispensing device for delivering elongated material such as rope, wire, or hosing and generally has a mounting frame operatively coupled to a material feeding device comprising a wheel and pinch device, an adjustable shroud, and a stabilizing device. The elongated material is received into the material feeding device from a first location and driven through the rope dispensing device by the wheel to be output at a second location. The adjustable shroud may be positioned about the periphery of the wheel so as to direct the output elongated material from the rope dispensing device. The invention is at least partially supported by the stabilizing device operatively coupled to a body of a user. Additionally, the stabilizing device is extendable, collapsible, and detachable allowing the invention to take on a more compact form for easier storage and/or transportation.
