Abstract: The present invention is a stand used for supporting a reel of wound material typically wire, by means of a spindle extending through a reel that is supported at either end by spindle support members having a triangular form and with at least one angled receiving aperture made through a corner having a collar, whereby when assembled produces a horizontally disposed spindle supported by opposing inwardly angled triangular support members where said spindle ends are supported about said support members apexes.

Abstract: A pair of collapsible supports 12, 14 have a collar 18 positioned on the upper end of one support 12 forming an integral part therewith. The device 10 is designed to be used in pairs on the ends of a user supplied rod 26. Each stand 10 is slidably inserted onto the distal ends of the rod 26 by a collar 18 and the legs 12, 14 are then pivotally extended to their open position thereby providing a device for supporting a spool 32 of material rotatively mounted on the rod.
