Abstract
The present application provides a utility pole guy wire anchor point locating device, and method of using said device, for determining the anchor point location of a guy wire used on a utility pole that is part of a curved section of transmission pole line. The device may be used for assisting utility transmission line personnel in locating the directional bearing for positioning the anchor point at a desired distance form a utility pole without angle measure or bisection calculation, particularly on a curved section of a transmission line.

A utility pole guy wire anchor point locating device comprising:
- a first arm for sighting the bearing of a first utility pole and having a first bearing scale and a second bearing scale;
- a second arm for sighting the bearing of a second utility pole, the second arm rotatably connected to the first arm about a pivot;
- and
- a third arm rotatably connected to the first and second arms about the pivot, and having a light source thereon for projecting a light away from the device onto a surface outside a generally curved section of a utility pole transmission line from the device at a location on said generally curved section between the first and second utility poles, the light being directed in a bearing of the third arm determined with the first and second bearing scales by locating the first and second utility poles using the first and second arms, and the anchor point being determined based on a projection of the light on the surface.
