No. 775,799, filed Sept. 13, 1985, and now abandoned, which was in turn a division of application Ser. No. 612,355, filed May 21, 1984, and now U.S. Pat. No. 4,577,650.
This invention relates to materials processing. More particulary, it relates to treatment of wafers such as semiconductor wafers with liquid or gaseous fluids.
In the process of fabricating semiconductor wafers, the need to avoid contamination by impurities takes on critical importance. Even in the so-called "clean rooms" of semiconductor fabrication facilities contamination can arise from a variety of sources. Contaminants can originate from human contact, solvent residues and oils from various operations, metals, dust particles, organics and other materials present in processing reagents. Many of the processing steps involved in fabricating a semiconductor wafer require that the wafer be exposed to a fluid, i.e., oxidizing agents, etchants, and washing and rinsing agents. In order to achieve acceptable yields, it is important that each of these steps be carried out in a manner that minimizes the potential for contamination.
Pre-diffusion cleaning is a good example of a step in the process of fabricating semiconductor wafers which must be carefully controlled to avoid contamination. Since the diffusion step in semiconductor processing is intended to "drive-in" desired dopant atoms through high temperature exposure, any contaminants left on the wafer surface after cleaning may also be driven into the wafer and can result in faulty electrical properties.
Pre-diffusion cleaning conventionally is accomplished by loading the wafers into a basket, such as the baskets described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,923,156 and 3,926,305, and then immersing the wafers and basket in a series of open sinks or tank baths. Usually the cleaning method involves contacting the wafers first with a strong oxidizing agent, such as sulfuric acid, rinsing with water, then contacting the wafers with an etchant, such as hydrofluoric acid, and then rinsing again. Open baths mounted in countertops pose significant safety problems to technicians who may be exposed to the active reagents or their fumes. Moreover, airborne impurities can and do contaminate the reagents and rinse water, leading to reduced semiconductor yields.
In an effort to avoid open baths, enclosed spray-cleaning devices have been proposed and typically also incorporate spin-drying mechanisms. One example of such a spin-rinser-dryer is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,760,822. Although this method is an improvement over immersion techniques from the standpoint of safety and airborne contaminant control, the combination of aggressive chemicals and many moving parts results in substantial maintenance problems as well as particulate contamination. Moreover, these designs subject the fragile semiconductor wafers to substantial mechanical stresses.
The need for better systems for treating semiconductor wafers with fluids has become more acute as the circuit element density of solid state devices has increased. Any such system should be capable of treating large numbers of wafers at one time and should be amenable to automated operation. Moving parts and the potential for contamination should be minimized. At the same time, worker exposure to aggressive reagents and/or their fumes should be minimized. A simple, efficient system that permits the safe treatment of semiconductor wafers with fluids in an automated and totally enclosed manner would satisfy a long felt need in the industry. If such a system could improve chip yield by even a fraction of a percent it would greatly benefit the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
It has now been discovered that a simple, efficient system for treating semiconductor wafers with fluids resides in a vessel which serves to store a plurality of the wafers while at the same time serving as the walls of a treatment fluid flow line. Such a vessel permits the fluid treatment processes to be carried out in a totally enclosed manner, thereby avoiding safety and contamination problems. Additionally, the vessel may be designed to ensure that all of the wafers are properly exposed to the fluid, turbulence or eddy currents are minimized, and pockets where residual contaminates may collect are eliminated.
Broadly, the concept of the invention is to provide a semiconductor wafer treatment vessel which may be used singly, or sealed in series with other similar or identical vessels, to form an integral but removable part of a wafer treatment fluid flow line. The vessels and fluid lines, gaskets, connectors and other parts of the system are preferably fabricated of materials which are inert to the treatment fluid, e.g., fluorinated polymers. Furthermore, the vessels are designed to avoid any pockets or recesses where spent fluid solutes or particulates removed from one batch of the wafers may collect or be temporarily retained only to contaminate the next batch, and to avoid creation of fluid flow peculiarities which might serve to concentrate solutes. Thus, microcracks where parts join, interior acute angles and other sharp corners, and recesses are avoided so that all treatment fluid flows through the vessel and is transported away to be discarded or repurified.
The invention contemplates an automated system wherein plural vessel segments are loaded with wafers, assembled, sealed together and incorporated within a fluid flow line. The vessel segments preferably are designed so that they may be handled by robots or other automated machinery. In particular, the vessels may have chamfered edges which permit them to mount easily together. Sealing may be accomplished by elastomeric gaskets and the application of pressure, e.g., by a pneumatic press, or other interlocking or latching mechanism. Once the vessel segments are assembled and in place, a series of fluid processing steps may be carried out in sequence without the need to move the wafers from one bath to another.
In one illustrated embodiment, each vessel segment defines an enclosure having lateral walls defining opposed open ends. Grooves in the walls and one or more horizontal bars extending across the bottom opening support the wafers within the vessel segment. Sealing means, e.g., elastomeric gaskets, are disposed about one or both open ends of each of the vessels so that each vessel may be sealingly nested with another, with a fluid inlet, or with a fluid outlet. The vessels may be sealed together by pneumatically compressing the elastomeric gaskets. In addition, a diffuser fits onto a terminal vessel segment and serves to diffuse the treatment fluid as it is introduced into the vessel so that each of the wafers is fully exposed. Similarly, the opposite terminal vessel segment may be sealed to an extractor which serves to reduce the fluid flow from the cross-sectional dimensions of the vessel segment to those of the fluid flow line so that the treatment fluid can be removed while minimizing turbulent flow and eddy currents. Preferably, the apparatus is designed such that the direction of fluid flow can be reversed. In that case the diffuser and extractor exchange roles.
A treatment station as described above is incorporated into what may otherwise be a conventional line carrying fluid for semiconductor treatment, fitted with one or more valves or the like for temporarily interrupting fluid flow. Wafers may then be loaded into the vessel segment and one or more of the segments sealed in line. Such a system can permit hydraulically full, high flow circulation, assure uniform, full contact wetting, reduce reagent consumption, prevent back eddying of impurities and filming effects during etching, lead to more consistent localized acid concentrations, and generally result in more consistent, uniform treatment and improved semiconductor yields. Furthermore, because the operation is totally enclosed, the intrusion of airborne contaminants and carbon dioxide is eliminated, and there is no danger of operator exposure to dangerous chemicals. Such treatment stations may be used to conduct pre-diffusion cleaning, rinsing, etching and other batch operations including drying. Furthermore, it decreases handling and is amenable to tight control of treatment time, temperature, and endpoint conductivity.
In view of the foregoing, it should be clear that various changes and modifications can be made in the embodiment of the invention which follows without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.

FIG. 1B is a bottom perspective view of the vessel of FIG. 1;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of two interlocking vessel segments of the type shown in FIG. 1, each taken at line 1--1;

Like reference characters in the respective drawn Figures indicate corresponding parts. Some of the dimensions of the elements illustrated in the drawing have been exaggerated for purposes of more clearly explaining the nature and operation of the illustrated embodiment of the invention.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a vessel segment 10 is shown comprising two side walls 12 and two end walls 14. The walls define an enclosure disposed about axis 19 having a top opening 13a opposing a bottom opening 13h. Each vessel segment 10 also includes a plurality of grooves 16 carried on each of the side walls and a support bar 18. The grooves 16 and the bar 18 cooperate to support a plurality of semiconductor wafers 20 in aligned, parallel, spaced-apart relation to one another. The vessel segment 10 will typically be designed to hold 25 wafers. The top of the vessel segment 10 includes a chamfered or beveled edge 22 and an elastomeric gasket 24. The beveled edge 22 and gasket 24 on the top of vessel 10 are designed to interconnect with interfitting beveled edge and surface on the bottom of a vessel of similar, preferably identical design, as shown in FIG. 2 and as shown by edge 26 and surface 27 in the bottom view in FIG. lB.
The interconnection of the vessel segments and their connection to a fluid inlet or outlet are further illustrated in FIG. 2, wherein two vessels 10a and 10b are shown in cross section nested together. Also shown are wafers 20 supported by grooves 16a, 16b and support bars 18a, 18b. The chamfered top 22b of vessel 10b and beveled bottom 26a of vessel 10a are shown in engagement.
Gaskets 24a and 24b are held in position by slots formed in the top of lateral walls 12a and 12b, respectively. As illustrated, when two vessels such as 10a and 10b are nested together, beveled edges 22b and 26a interfit, and gasket 24b is urged against surface 27a to form a fluid-tight seal between the vessel segments. Preferably, the seals bulge slightly inwardly toward the wafers so that pockets where fluid might collect are eliminated.
Beveled edge 22a and gasket 24a of vessel segment 10a can interfit with another vessel (not shown), of the same or a different design, having an interfitting bevel and sealing surface like illustrated surfaces 26a, 27a, 26b, and 27b. Also, one or more additional vessels may be nested below vessel 10b and will have appropriate interfitting sealing means for mating with surfaces 26b and 27b. The terminal vessel segments in a series of nested vessels such as is depicted in FIG. 2 comprise sealing means for sealing interconnection with a wafer treatment fluid inlet and a wafer treatment fluid outlet or structure communicating with the inlet and outlet. The seals may comprise and preferably do comprise the same structure of interfitting chamfered edges, gasket, and surfaces as are employed in interconnecting the vessel segments. Thus, the fluid inlet and outlet used to urge a flow of fluid in a direction parallel to axis 19 will have mating parts for sealingly engaging the assembled vessel. For example, a diffuser 38 (illustrated in FIGS. 3A and 3B) will have an upper mating edge comprising a beveled surface and elastomeric gasket identical to the surfaces 22a and 22b and gaskets 24a and 27b in FIG. 2. An extractor 36 (illustrated in FIGS. 3A and 3B and in part in FIG. 2) will have a lower mating edge comprising a beveled edge and sealing surface identical to surfaces 26a, 26b, 27a, and 27b of FIG. 2.
Although the gaskets 24a and 24b are the top edge of vessel segment 10a and 10b, it should be clear that the gasket may also be carried by the bottom edge and that various other interconnecting edge arrangements can be designed by those skilled in the art. The object in any such design should be to assure sealing engagement between the mating parts and to facilitate automated loading, interfitting, and other manipulation of the vessel and its segments.
Various materials may be used to construct the vessel segments of the invention. One preferred type of material is fluoropolymer such as poly-tetrafluoroethylene (sold under the trademark "Teflon" by E. I. duPont de Nemours and Company of Wilmington, Del.). The vessel segments should in any case be constructed from a material which is as impervious and inert as possible to the chemical reagents used in the treatment process and as insensitive as possible to any temperature changes during treatment. The sealing gasket 24 likewise is designed to be able to withstand temperatures up to 150� C. or higher and to be insensitive to the chemicals used in the treatment process. Suitable gasket materials include fluorinated elastomers such as "Kalrez" and "Viton", both of which are manufactured by E. I. duPont de Nemours and Company of Wilmington, Del. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 2, the gaskets are arranged so that they form a slightly convex surface inside the vessel upon compression, thereby eliminating a source of eddy currents. It is also preferred that no adhesives be used to fix the gasket in position.
In FIGS. 3A and 3B, a system employing the vessel segments is shown, and its operation is depicted schematically. The system 30 comprises a support structure 32 and stage 34 upon which a plurality of vessel segments, here illustrated as two segments, 10a and 10b can be stacked or nested together. The vessel segments interconnect as described above and may be positioned in support structure 32 by automatic or robotic controllers. Conical structure 36 has a lower edge identical to that of the vessel segments 10 of FIGS. 1 and 2. Conical structure 38 has an upper edge identical to the upper edge of the vessel segments 10. These structures 36 and 38 act as inlet diffusers or outlet extractors, depending on the direction of fluid flow. Pressure means 40 lifts the stage 34 until each of the vessel segments is sealingly interconnected, the uppermost segment 10a is sealed to inlet/outlet 36, and the lowermost segment 10b is sealed to inlet/outlet 38. In the illustrated embodiment, a pneumatic presssure means including a pneumatic cylinder 40 is used so that thermal expansion can be accommodated by the press when hot fluids are used for treatment.
The treatment fluid enters the vessel, for example, through valve 50, flexible line 42 and diffuser 38 as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B and exits the vessel through extractor 36, line 44 and valve 52. Depending upon the treatment process, the fluid can be repurified and recycled or can be discarded as waste. FIG. 3A schematically illustrates the vessel segments 10 in the course of being loaded into the system 30. In FIG. 3B, the vessel is shown in its assembled form ready for fluid treatment of the wafers enclosed therein. The mechanical components which seal the vessel segments together are preferably located below the stage 34 to avoid any contamination from dust or other particulates during movement of the mechanism.
While a pneumatic press has several advantages as the means for achieving sealing engagement between vessel segments 10 and the input and output structures, many other mechanical means may be used. For example, various interfitting and interlocking mechanisms or latch mechanisms may be used.
In operation, wafers 20 are loaded into a vessel segment 10, one or more of which are stacked upon the stage 34 of the press frame 30. The pneumatic pressure means 40 is activated to lift the stage 34, sealingly interconnecting the vessel segments 10a, 10b, etc. with each other, the inlet/outlet 38 and the inlet/outlet 36. A test of the seals can then be conducted by introducing a gas such as nitrogen into the system 30 and measuring the pressure within line 44 and 42. Once the gasket seals are deemed satisfactory, the treatment fluid may be introduced through inlet/diffuser 38, passed through the vessel segments to the outlet/extractor 36, and ultimately removed through line 44. Filling with liquid is preferably conducted from the bottom so as to avoid gas entrapment and splashing. A sequence of treatment steps can then be carried out, which may involve abrupt changes in the fluid being utilized or the direction of fluid flow. At the end of the last step, the vessel segments are drained. Draining is preferably conducted by introducing nitrogen from above and allowing the liquid to escape out the bottom. Purging flow may also be used to thoroughly dry the wafers and vessel or vessels. Finally the vessel segments are disengaged by lowering stage 34. Each segment may then be removed from the press system 30 and the wafers subsequently removed from the vessel segments for additional fabrication steps requiring individual handling.
It will be clear to those skilled in the art that various changes or adaptations of the invention may be made for particular uses. For example, the system may be used in various other treatment steps besides prediffusion cleaning. Thus the invention can be used in wet processes generally, such as photoresist developing, wet etching, and photoresist stripping. Other applications might include diffusion, oxidation, reduction, and sputtering. The apparatus may also be used to dry wafers, e.g., by methanol treatment.
Various changes and modifications can be made to the design of the vessel segments themselves. Although the end walls are shown as flat in the illustrated embodiments, rounded end walls or non-planar walls, e.g., cylinders, may be preferred in particular applications to achieve more even flow paths around the end wafers or for other purposes. Likewise, the groove designs may be varied to optimize the flow characteristics, and the actual dimensions of the grooves will vary with the size of the wafers treated. Although a single horizontal bar or rod is shown in the figures, a plurality of bars may span the bottom opening to support the wafers. Alternatively, stop bars or other structures may protrude from the side walls to support the wafers at the bottom of each vessel. Other support mechanisms can also be designed by those skilled in the art. In most instances, all dimensions, the number of wafers per vessel, etc., will conform to standards set by the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Institute as set forth in its Book Of SEMI Standards, 1983.
The beveled or chamfered edges shown in the illustrated embodiment may be replaced by various other interlocking or interfitting geometries. The beveled edges are preferred because of the ease of handling in automated operations and protection from dirt or particulates which may be encountered when the vessel segments are placed on work surfaces.
The materials of construction as well as the fabrication techniques can also be varied by those skilled in the art. Although fluorinated polymers are preferred for the vessel segments, various other inert plastics, metals or ceramics may be substituted depending upon the intended use. The vessel segments may be fabricated by machining, molding, or casting.
An important design constraint is the avoidance of eddy currents on the inside of the vessel walls and the avoidance of traps for fluid. Excellent results are achieved using the vessels and system of the invention because a controlled volume of a fluid of defined, exact, and reproducible composition is flowed through the vessel segments about the wafers along the flow path. The reagents used are of the highest purity. Eddy currents caused by flow restrictions which might result in a concentrating effects should accordingly be avoided. Likewise, cracks, concavities, and blind openings of any kind should be avoided.

Scaling the Heights
4th - 6 December 2014
Touring 2 theatres
Brahms's D major Concerto is one of the peaks of the violin repertoire. The rugged grandeur of the massive first movement gives way to the melting lyricism of the second, whilst the finale is flavoured with vigorous Hungarian folk rhythms, a tribute to the man for whom the work was written, the Hungarian virtuoso Joseph Joachim. Following in Joachim's footsteps this evening is one of the most compelling young violinists on the concert platform today, Jack Liebeck. The concert is completed by two masterworks of French orchestral tone painting – La Valse, Ravel's tribute to the waltz, its touches of parody shot through with a surprising romanticism, and Debussy's impressionistic evocation of the sea, La Mer.

Forced Entertainment: That Night Follows Day
Autumn 2014
23 November 2014
Howard Assembly Room
That Night Follows Day is a comical and poignant text by Tim Etchells, the Artistic Director of internationally renowned theatre company Forced Entertainment.
Written for an adult audience with performers aged 8 to 14, the work explores the ways in which adults' words and actions shape and influence young people's experience. Addressing the audience directly, a chorus of children explores and interrogates the range of advice, facts, truisms, white lies and excuses they hear from their elders.
In partnership with Compass Festival and Opera North, Forced Entertainment will create a rehearsed reading of the work. Age recommendation 16 +. Although the piece is performed by children it is for an adult audience as the text contains strong language.
'One of Britain's greatest theatre companies' The Guardian
Part of Compass Festival 2014, taking all over Leeds City Centre between 13 - 23 November.
Please note the time indicated is the actual start of the performance. Doors to the event will open approximately 15 minutes before.

An improved device which allows a carton of coiled wire, packaged in a way to allow the coil to be unwound from its center through a circular knockout in the carton, to rotate as the wire is being pulled out of the center knockout. As the wire is pulled it makes contact with a flared center column. The action of the wire against the center column and the pull of the wire on the coil causes the device and the carton of wire to rotate. This rotating action prevents twists and kinks in the wire and allows it to unwind easily. The device can be operated sitting on a surface, hanging from a support or held in the operators hand. The device has no parts that adjust or need to be removed in order to mount a carton of coiled wire and there is no need for the wire to be fed through a guide. The wire can be pulled at angles from near horizontal to approximately 45 degrees up off horizontal and in any direction.
1. A device for holding, transporting, and unwinding coiled wire supplied in a cardboard carton comprising
(a) a base,
(b) a coil and carton support,
(c) a center column with flared top and bottom fixed to said support and extending up therefrom,
(d) bearing means rotatably mounting said support to said base,
(e) a handle mounted to top of said center column,
(f) bearing means rotatably mounting said handle to said center column,
(g) hanging means for said handle allowing complete device to be suspended.
2. The device of claim 1 wherein said handle is recessed in top of said center column.
3. The device of claim 1 wherein said handle is retractable into the top of said center column.
4. The device of claim 1 wherein said handle has a groove in hand grip which allows a center of gravity positioning of said hanging means.
5. The device of claim 1 wherein a single bolt holds said handle to said center column, said center column to said coil and carton support and said coil and carton support to said base, and also holding in place bearing means for said handle and a bearing means for said center column and said coil and carton support.
6. The device of claim 1 wherein said center column and said coil and carton support are molded as a single unit.
7. The device of claim 1 wherein said center column consists of two identical sections fastened to each other as if one were the mirror image of the other.
8. The device of claim 1 wherein said base and said coil and carton support are two identical units and have provisions for mounting and centering said bearing means.
9. The device of claim 8 wherein said base and said coil and carton suppport are molded material.
10. The device of claim 7 wherein said center column sections are molded material.
11. The device of claim 1 wherein top of said centter column is circular and can be used as a template to cut holes in a carton of coiled wire.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention is an improved device for the unwinding of electrical wire, communication cable, or other coiled material from the cardboard carton in which it is typically packaged in a free flowing way without removing the main coil of material from the carton and without creating twists of kinks in the material.
2. Description of Prior Art
Similar devices can be described in two categories: devices that are suspended from a structure above the device, and devices that sit on a base requiring a somewhat level and smooth surface. There appears to be no prior art designed to operate in both a suspended position and a sitting position. A third position for operation of an unwinding device that has not been addressed by prior art is for the operator of the device to hold it in his/her hand during operation.
The use of removable or adjustable parts in prior art is a disadvantage because they can become lost and require more set up time. Guides through which the material must be threaded also require more set up time and tend to create friction especially with some of the larger and stiffer wires, or softer plastic tubing.
Tashiro, U.S. Pat. No. 2,985,404 (1961) describes a device that operates only sitting on a base and has no provision for moving it from one location to another. It also has removable parts.
Eckert, U.S. Pat. No 3,041,006 (1962) describes a device that also only operates sitting on a base and has both removable parts and a guide through which the wire must be fed. The center column in this device does not rotate which causes friction as the wire moves around it. The wire guide is also the carrying handle but cannot function as both simultaneously. The wire guide also is designed for small diameter round wire. If the carton of wire is very heavy the handle would not be very comfortable to use.
Shumake, U.S. Pat. No. 3,118,634 (1964) describes a device that also only operates sitting on a base, is designed primarly for small diameter round wire and uses two guides through which the wire has to be fed. It also has clamps to hold the carton in place which require all the cartons used to be of similar size.
Collmann, U.S. Pat. No. 3,593,943 (1971) describes a device that also only operates sitting on a base and has parts that need to be removed and then replaced to mount the carbon of wire. The handle for carrying the device is threaded into the center column of the device and will tend to loosen when being carried.
Marcell, U.S. Pat. No. 3,974,980 (1976) describes a device that operates in a suspended position only and has parts that require unfastening and refastening and adjusting. It also has a wire guide through which the wire is fed. It does not have a means to carry it from one location to another in operational mode.
It should be noted that even though the present invention can be used to unwind a variety of materials, it is primarily intended for use with wire. Therefore it will be described as used in connection with wire coils but should be understood that the term "wire" is intended to designate any material that might be used with the device.
It is the object of this invention to improve on prior devices and provide:
(a) A device that can be operated either suspended or resting on a base. Sometimes, especially in remoldeling work, there is no place from which to hang a device. On the other hand in a muddy unfinished cellar or crawlspace there is often on place to set a device down, thus the need for a device that can operate in either position.
(b) A device that can be operated while held in the operator's hand by the handle allowing the operator to move from one point to another reeling out the coiled wire. This has a great advantage when working in situations where pulling or dragging the uncoiled wire across rough, abrasive, muddy or uneven surfaces might cause damage to the wire.
(c) A device that has no parts that need to be removed, unfastened, or adjusted to mount or unmount coiled wire in its carton or to operate the device, thus reducing loose or lost parts and reducing the time required to change cartons.
(d) A device that does not require the wire to be threaded through a guide allowing for a wider range of materials to be used and also making changing cartons easier and faster.
The device (1) has no parts that need to be removed or adusted to mount a carton of wire or to operate; (2) dispenses wire without the need of a wire guide through which the wire must be threaded: (3) can be operated siting on a surface, suspended, or held in the operators hand; and (4) has a comfortable handle to use in transporting the wire from one location to another. Field testing revealed no need for a braking mechanism to prevent overspinning. The hand-held method allows the operator to walk along as the coil turns, reeling out the wire as is necessary when placing it in a ditch, for example, without having to drag the wire along the ditch or along the ground causing possible damage to the wire or its protective cover.
The improved device that allows the unwinding of coiled wire from the cardboard carton in which it is packaged is characterized by the fact that it can be operated in any of three positions: (1) sitting on the floor or other surface, (2) held in the hand to reel out wire as the operator walks along, or (3) hangng from a floor joist or other overhead support. It also has no parts that need to be removed or adjusted in order to mount the carton or operate the device. Finally it does not require the wire to be fed through a guide thereby reducing friction, minimizing set-up time and allowing the wire to be pulled in any direction from the device.
The improved device is also characterized by the shape of the center column and by the retractable handle and bearing. The flared shape of the center column keeps the wire from climbing over the top of the column as it is pulled. The bearing on the handle allows the device to turn when it is suspended or while it is being held. The fact that the handle retracts out of the way into the center column allows the top of the column to be used as the template for the holes in the carton and makes the unit more compact and damage resistant when not in use.
Other objects, features, and characteristics of this invention, as well as the functions of other elements of the device, methods of operation, and the combination of parts and the economies of manufacture, will become apparent as the reader considers the following descriptions, accompanying drawings and claims.

Referring now to FIG. 2 specifically, where all major parts of the device can be viewed in the cross section, the device sits on a circular base(10). A circular carton support (12) with a center column (17), comprised of an upper portion (14) and a lower portion (16), fastened to the carton support (12) by a bolt (18) and a locknut(24), sits on a turntable bearing(20) which sits on circular base(10). Turntable bearing(20) is held in position by a shoulder(22) of base(10). Base(10) is held in position on bolt(18) by a locknut(24a). Locknut (24a) holds base(10) in position but is not tight against it to allow rotation of the device on turntable bearing(20). A handle grip(30) and a handle strap(38) are mounted on bolt(18) with a bearing(28) allowing rotation of the device when handle grip(30) is held in fixed position. A groove(32) in handle grip(30) provides a center of gravity positioning of a suspension hook(48), illustrated in FIG. 1, from which the entire device can be hung. A collar(26) holds bearing(28) up under the head of bolt(18) up under the head of bolt(18). A hold in handle strap(38) which is just larger than the outside diameter of collar (26) allows handle strap(38) to move up and down along collar(26).
FIG. 3 shows handle grip(30) and handle strap(38) in retracted position. FIG. 4, shows an enlarged, exploded perspective view of portion of handle grip(30) and portion of handle strap(38). FIG. 5, a perspective view of the first embodiment, shows the circular shape of base(10) and carton support(12). FIG. 6, is a vertical section of a second embodiment of the device, and FIGS. 1 and 8, perspective views of the second embodiment, show a flat and square carton support(40) fastened to turnable bearing(20) which is fastened to a flat and square base(42) with small screws. FIG. 7, is an enlarged portion of FIG. 2 or 5 showing vertical section of bolt (18), collar(26), bearing(28), and part of handle strap (38), upper column portion (14) and lower column portion (16).
The base (10), the coil and carton suppport (12) and the center column (17) may be formed of molded material with the coil and carton support (12) and the center column (17) being molded as a single unit.
A carton of wire(44), shown in FIG. 1, is prepared for mounting on the device by cutting a hole in the top and bottom center of carton(44). The size of the hole should be the same as outside diameter of the top of center column(17). The top of center column(17) can be traced as a template. Some cartons already have a circular knockout in the top of the carton. This can be used as is or it may have to be enlarged. Carton(44) is then placed on the device so that center column(17) extends up through the holes in carton(44). The hole in the bottom of carton(44) will fit tightly around the outside diameter of lower portion (16) of center column (17) keeping carton(44) centered on the device. The loose end of a wire(46) in the center of the coil is then pulled through the space between the edge of the top hole in carton(44) and upper portion (14) of center column (17).
When the loaded device is operated in sitting position and wire(46) is pulled, it causes the entire coil of wire and carton(44) and the upper section of the device to rotate on turntable bearing(20). In the suspended position the entire device and carton(44) rotate on bearing(28), except for the handle strap(38) and handle grip(30) which is suspended from suspension hook(48) in groove(32). In the hand held position the device operates the same as in the suspended position except that it can be moved as it operates.
When the carton(44) is removed from the device any wire left in the carton is still in a neat coil ready to be used at another time.
The descriptions and specifications discussed above should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention but as merely providing illustrations of some of the presently preferred embodiments of this invention. The scope of the invention should be determined by the claims rather thean by the examples given.

COLUMBIA CITY — Five winners emerged from the Kiddie Tractor Pull held Sunday at the Whitley County 4-H Fair.
Under the leadership of the Whitley County Farm Bureau Young Farmers, the tractor pull attracted 18 participants.
Each child was placed in one of five classes based on their weight.
The classes were: The Peewee Class (under 35 pounds), Class 1 (35-45 pounds), Class 2 (46-55 pounds), Class 3 (56-65 pounds) and Class 4 (66 to 75 pounds).
1. Ethan Schuman
2. Zander Ziliack.
PIERCETON — Whitko's Board of Trustees were updated on several important areas within the district.
Superintendent Steve Clason had spring testing results to report. According to Clason, the goal was for a 70 percent passing rate in the math competency.
However, Pierceton Elementary School scored well over 80 percent in English, reading and math.
"Kudos to Pierceton," Clason said. "They really focused in hard on this, and we are really pleased with the results. If we ever get clear results from the ISTEP+ testing, I expect the scores will be the same."
CHURUBUSCO — Providing clean, safe water for residents in Churubusco means understanding the Wellhead Protection Plan.
A detailed brochure was prepared by the town in order to educate residents on the importance of protecting the Churubusco's water. These are available at the town's office on Main Street.
Wellhead protection is a way to ensure drinking water is safe by managing the area around the community's water supply and barring it from contamination.
PIERCETON — Whitko Community School Corporation welcomed the newest administrator to its education team Monday night.
Nathan Polston will take the helm at Pierceton Elementary School as the new principal.
Polston's position was voted on by the Board of Trustees during the July 3 work session.
"It's exciting to have Nathan on board," said Superintendent Steve Clason. "He comes to us with great credentials. He is just what Pierceton needs to go to the next level."
This will be Polston's first administrative position. Previously he was an elementary teacher at Leesburg Elementary.
COLUMBIA CITY — Jared Lamle is no stranger to the show ring.
Wednesday afternoon, Lamle had the opportunity to exhibit his livestock wisdom in the Large Animal Round Robin.
He took first place out of a field of seven showmen from each large-animal species.
"He's very composed in the ring. That's where he won it," said Judge Cody Reikart. "To be able to keep his composure, yet still be very competitive and intense is where he excelled. That's the enthusiastic intensity it takes to win."
COLUMBIA CITY — Just past the halfway point of the year 2013, the economy has an improved atmosphere, particularly on the local level.
Around the nation, surveys indicate increased optimism economically as the year 2013 reached July, and the local atmosphere is no different. In Whitley County, there are reasons to smile about the cash climate for area citizens.
COLIMBIA CITY — 4-Hers participated in the Dairy Goat and Specialty Show Monday at the Whitley County 4-H Fair.
Taking Best in Show Sr. Doe was Hanna Bridegam and her Alpine goat.
Earning the title of Best in Show Jr. Doe was Kaitlin Frank.
COLUMBIA CITY — After several years of the dairy club having to dump its milk, Veterinarian and 4-H parent, Dave Brelage, will be purchasing the club's product.
Brelage will be buying the club's milk for 50 cents per gallon — less than they would make if a milkman came to pick it up, but that has been hard to come by.
"Since most of the milk cows go home after the first day of the fair, we don't produce a lot of milk anymore," said Brandy Studebaker, Dairy Club leader.
"It's great to actually make some money off of it."
COLUMBIA CITY — Judging is in for the open carcass results at the 2013 Whitley County 4-H Fair.
Below are results for the open carcass, the open on-foot carcass, the 4-H carcass results and the 4-H on-foot carcass results.
Champion: Alena Hindbaugh.
Reserve Champion: Cate Cormany.
COLUMBIA CITY — Adding approximately 20 teams, Whitley County 4-H Fair's Pig Wrestling Contest gained participation and popularity this year compared to 2012.
Last year, the event was the first of its kind at the fair and had a solid response with 40 teams participating.
This year, that number increased to approximately 60.
"We've had a great response to this event," said 4-H Board President Cathy Heritier. "I can't believe the amount of people that really get into this. It's so much fun."

I produce electronic music since late 80's. At that time I was working in my adolescent bedroom, using a brand new Roland D-20, creating stupid love songs without lyrics ; I then moved to the living-room when I finally grew up and sold all my gears - except for my mighty Nord Modular - to focus on computer. That's about the only big difference in my producing modus operandi since then. Well, except that now I'm a drug addict but that's another story. I like to wear slippers when I'm producing music. But sometimes it's a bit warm out there so I have to go barefoot. I have the feeling that I'm more creative when I have a beard. When I shave, everything goes wrong… I often drink bottles of soda (with a lot of sugar in it) just above my keyboard. This occasionally means big troubles ! Sometimes I have to work on a track for 10 hours straight with no pause (because I always forget to have a break) and then I get bed sores on my ass. Short video for our podcast from Alexandre and Cristonia5: youtube.com/watch?v=ymrjgkVRI2A Interview for [moisture] team: Hi Alex! Thank you for agreeing to give us an interview, and for the podcast with Christonia5. Hello there, thanks a lot to Moisture for this opportunity. It was fun to work on such a complete project with my partner Christonia5. Please excuse by advance my flawed English speaking. 1. Please tell us how you came to dub sound, to dub music, what influenced you and what it is for you in general? It started in the mid-nineties. I remember that I was getting really bored of this psytrance-goa-whatever music hype. The "French-touch" - idiotic naming for sample-based filtered house music –, was everywhere on TV or on the air, although it was a true catastrophe on a pure creative level. Both were really not my taste. I was more into Detroit productions. Anyway, I came inadvertently across Basic Channel and Chain Reaction catalog and I was instantly amazed at what those guys were doing. They cared more about sound textures and atmospheres than about catchy hooks, over-compressed ripped-off grooves and brainless vocals. I guess my main influence at this time were those two particular tracks : "Antistatic" from Vainqueur and "Phylyps II/II". However I had to wait for 2007 to produce my first series of dub-techno oriented tracks. In the meantime I just had different hobbies than music ; mostly fractal art, studying political philosophy, collecting sci-fi books and also doing nothing. Doing nothing is such a great hobby ! 2. your second project Musicians With Guns is fabulous. Tell me, how come there are similar video masterpieces? Perhaps you waiting for a special mood or what is the muse for you? I sincerely hope that these ideas don`t come to you in a dream when you're asleep.. ? Aside from being an enthusiast home-studio hobbyist, I developed a passion for fractal imagery more than 15 years ago. In 2011 I discovered 3d fractal objects and I started to have fun with animation and video. Exploring those fractal worlds is a bit like LSD over-dose sometimes. I eventually dreamed of those infinite landscapes while working on intensive animation sessions (the production process is unfortunately very slow) ; those are not funny dreams for sure ! Note that Musicians With Guns is not about fractal imagery, it is rather a music side-project focusing on drones, ambient and experimentation. 3. In one interview, you said that if after five minutes of listening to your track comes drowsiness, it is a good track. you really care about the health of your audience..) Tell me please, it initially was your goal when you started making music? What do you want to reach people with your music, do you want to be appreciated at its true worth or all of this only for yourself? Drowsiness can be felt as a virtue sometimes. I personally love this semi-conscious state of mind, favorable to reflexion. It is also the perfect moment to be physically touched by mesmerizing music. Although I specially enjoy drowsiness when it is induced by a copious meal. I started to get interest in electronic music a long time ago because learning sound synthesis was rather fun for me. Understanding how air pressure can be turned into electrical signals and finally reach our brain cells, how all sounds we hear are composed exclusively of sine waves, etc. I tried to learn about every kind of sound synthesis I could approach. Since then I always had more focus on sound characteristics than composition and arrangements. Creating mood and atmospheres is for me the most important thing in such a sub-genre as dub-techno. Honestly I am really not a fan of techno tracks sounding like mini-symphonies. 4. You could have come to Russia, believe me, there are many people who are happy to lie down on the couch under your music.) We know that you do not like to fly on airplanes, but you can get to us by train.) What do you think about this? Or, perhaps, there is a country, where would you like to come and why? Coming to Russia by train could be fine. However I would have to be es corted by my own private S/M nurse and all my courtiers crew. You know how French people are, right ? Actually I would really like to visit Siberia one day. It seems to be so wild and exotic. 5. As far as I know you're not a DJ, and to be honest, not much information about you is available on the Internet. I only know that, when you write music you like to wear slippers, and the fact that when you shave you have the feeling that something is going wrong. Do you private man? Or may be a little crazy (in a good way), how do you want that people would perceive you? and the same way by your music? That is true, I am not a DJ. I never learn such techniques. I guess I have always been too lazy. Also I'm not really interested in playing in front of an audience. I have a big ego, of course, but I like to keep it for myself. I don't give a lot of real infos about myself because quite honestly I'm rather a boring man and my private life has strictly no interest. 6. Please tell us about your future plans? What can we expect from you? new albums, labels or can be common project? I started a very small Bandcamp label last December ; it is named Trucs et Astuces ("Tips and Tricks" in French). There are only two EPs in the catalog right now but, of course, more material will be released on a semi-regular basis. I am currently working with AXS, Christonia 5 and Esko Barba on common projects for this label. I also asked some of the guys around to work on new material - namely Fingers in the Noise, Lo, Syncronize... Let's wait and see. The next releases will be full of surprises, trying to move deep and dub techno to uncharted territories. Note that Trucs Et Astuces is unique in the way that 100% of the sales incomes goes directly in artist's pockets. Finally, a dream is coming true for artists being tired of not getting paid ! My first "Musicians With Guns" album should finally be out on Entropy Records in a few weeks. It will be mostly dronish and a bit creepy sometimes. It will be followed by a second album, still dronish but this time more retro / oldschool oriented. I also work on multiple projects with my main project Zzzzra, including releases on the aforementioned label Trucs Et Astuces. (A lot) more to come soon ! Finally, there are probabilities that I will marry my charismatic partner Christonia 5 in a blurry future. And then we will have zillions of strange and uncanny techno-mutated babies together. 7. Finally, let us ask you our traditional question. Please, name 5 releases without any style or time limits, which our subscribers must listen. In no particular order : - Captain Beefheart : Trout Mask Replica - Frank Zappa : Uncle Meat - Chico Mann : Manifest Tone Vol. 1 - The Beach Boys : Pet Sounds - Sun Ra : Interstellar Low Ways Links: twitter.com/moisturepodcast vk.com/moisture facebook.com/moisturepodcast Support links: vk.com/hello_strange vk.com/conceptwaves vk.com/interesting_music vk.com/freeends Comment by KOSMO Netlabel sur du gros son, ça doi etre énorme ce passage, excellent podcast ! 2014/04/24 21:40:06 +0000 Comment by Den Robb Cool set! 2014/03/16 19:34:06 +0000 Comment by Christonia5 @niklas-vaggh: :-) 2014/01/10 14:18:42 +0000 Comment by spo_Onani awesome mix 2013/11/29 04:01:17 +0000 Comment by elfa_olesia !!! 2013/11/25 21:56:31 +0000 Comment by S.imon @christonia5: I like your restrained style in your songs. Songs like "Responsibility Without", Monolog "Libido" or "Ich Weiss Dass Ich Nichts Weiss" captivate by their restraint. I love this!!! Less Is More, hehe. In my ears it seems to be that there is too much sound in this podcast, I can't hear the sonority of "Ming Kölsche Fründin", hihihi. But I think it's normal! I would be another cook if I cook with someone else or my countenance woulld be transforming if there is another one eating from my chocolate too!
