The line holder has a head, a shaft, and a base. The head is configured to receive and secure a conductor. The shaft can be adjustable or nonadjustable. The base is configured to attach to a base. The line holder attaches to the base and allows a line worker to adjust the positioning of a conductor within the head. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A nonconductive line holder for repositioning a conductor, wherein said nonconductive line holder comprises: a shaft, said shaft having a first end and a second end; a head including at least two projections being spaced apart attached to said first end of said shaft, wherein said head is configured to receive and retain a conductor; wherein said second end comprises at least one flange, wherein said at least one flange is configured for attaching to a base, wherein the base is configured for mounting to a pole and configured to allow for pivoting adjustment of said line holder within said pole to adjust an angle of said line holder extending from said base, wherein said line holder is nonconductive so as to be configured to hold an energized conductor in said head. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The nonconductive line holder of claim 1, wherein said shaft comprises a first tube and a second tube, wherein said first tube and said second tube are configured to telescope to adjust the length of said shaft. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The nonconductive line holder of claim 1, wherein said head further comprises at least one roller, wherein said roller is configured for rolling engagement with a conductor positioned within said head. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The nonconductive line holder of claim 1, wherein said head further defines openings at the distal ends of said head; and a pin, wherein said pin is configured to be inserted through said openings to secure said conductor in said head. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The nonconductive line holder of claim 1, wherein said head comprises at least one rigging hole, wherein said at least one rigging hold is configured to attach a tool for a user to adjust the positioning of said nonconductive line holder. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The nonconductive line holder of claim 1, wherein said shaft comprises a nonconductive material. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The nonconductive line holder of claim 1, wherein said head comprises a forked shape. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The nonconductive line holder of claim 7, wherein said head comprises a shape from the group consisting of a U-Shape and a V-Shape. ### Claim 9 A nonconductive line holder for repositioning a conductor, wherein said nonconductive line holder comprises: a shaft, said shaft having a first end and a second end, wherein said shaft comprises a first tube and a second tube, wherein said first tube and said second tube are configured to telescope to adjust the length of said shaft; a head attached to said first end of said shaft, wherein said head is configured to receive and retain a conductor, wherein said head further comprises at least one roller positioned proximate to said shaft, wherein said roller is configured to allow a conductor to move within said head; wherein said second end comprises at least one flange, wherein said at least one flange is configured for attaching to a base. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The nonconductive line holder of claim 9, wherein said head further defines openings at the distal ends of said head, wherein said openings are configured for a pin to be inserted to secure said conductor in said head. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The nonconductive line holder of claim 9, wherein said head comprises at least one rigging hole, wherein said at least one rigging hold is configured to attach a tool for a user to adjust the positioning of said nonconductive line holder. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The nonconductive line holder of claim 9, wherein said head comprises at least two rollers. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The nonconductive line holder of claim 9, wherein said nonconductive line holder comprises a nonconductive material. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The nonconductive line holder of claim 9, wherein said shaft comprises a nonconductive material. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The nonconductive line holder of claim 9, wherein said head comprises a nonconductive material. ### Claim 16 A nonconductive line holder for repositioning a conductor, wherein said nonconductive line holder comprises: a shaft, said shaft having a first end and a second end, wherein said shaft comprises a first tube and a second tube, wherein said first tube and said second tube are configured to telescope to adjust the length of said shaft; a head attached to said first end of said shaft, wherein said head is configured to receive and retain a conductor, wherein said head further comprises at least one roller positioned proximate to said shaft, wherein said roller is configured to allow a conductor to move within said head; wherein said second end comprises at least one flange, wherein said at least one flange is configured for attaching to a base; wherein said head comprises at least two rigging holes, wherein said rigging holes are positioned on opposite sides of said head, wherein said at least two rigging holes are configured to attach a tool for a user to adjust the positioning of said nonconductive line holder; wherein the distal ends of said head comprise pin holes, wherein a pin is configured to insert into said pin holes to secure said conductor into said head. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The nonconductive line holder of claim 15, wherein said head comprises two rollers. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The nonconductive line holder of claim 15, wherein said nonconductive line holder comprises a nonconductive material. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The nonconductive line holder of claim 15, wherein said shaft comprise a nonconductive material. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The nonconductive line holder of claim 18, wherein said shaft comprises fiberglass.
