Abstract: A device for preventing wire in a welding wire pail from tangling. Tangle preventing bead packages are laid on the coiled welding wire inside the pail. Pressing pipes vertically stand on the coiled welding wire at portions between the packages. An internal buffer ring is laid on the pressing pipes, while an external buffer ring with two elastic bands is laid on the internal buffer ring. The coiled welding wire in the pail is prevented from jumping, getting tangled or twisting in the pail while the pail is handled or transported. In order to draw the welding wire out of the pail, the pressing pipes and buffer rings are removed from the pail and the packages are torn to uniformly scatter the tangle preventing beads over the coiled welding wire. The welding wire smoothly goes through the beads to be drawn out of the pail without causing any tangling in the wire.
