  • Patent number: 5054829
    Abstract: A device for placing wire over a series of open ceiling joists or other objects. The device comprises a rod for mounting on a pole. The rod has a support for a releasable disk. Wire is attached to the disk through a wire connecting hole. The disk is slid over the tip of the rod, through the disk sleeved hole and the disk is positioned on and supported by the base. The pole, with the rod mounted thereon and the disk with the wire mounted thereto, is raised above a ceiling joist or other elevated object. An upward thrust of the pole causes the disk to slide up and off the outward arm and over the object upon which the wire is to be installed over. The disk is of sufficient weight to cause it to descend to floor level, pulling the attached wire with it. Should the disk fail to descend due to wire snagging or some other reason, the pole is raised, positioning the trap over the suspended disk. The disk is trapped between the rods elongate arm and the inner arm and pulled down.
