Abstract
An insulator support pin includes a strength member and a non-conductive sheath surrounding the strength member. The non-conductive sheath extends between a first end and a second end. The insulator support pin also includes a support member between the first end and the second end. The first end is configured to attach to an insulator, and the second end is configured to attach to a support structure.
Claims20
An insulator support pin comprising:
- a strength member;
- a non-conductive sheath surrounding the strength member and extending between a first end and a second end;
- and
- a support member between the first end and the second end, wherein:
- the first end is configured to attach to an insulator, and the second end is configured to attach to a support structure.

An insulator support pin comprising:
- a strength member;
- and
- a non-conductive sheath surrounding the strength member and extending between a first end and a second end, wherein:
- the first end is configured to attach to an insulator,
- the second end is configured to attach to a support structure,
- at a first location between the first end and the second end, the non-conductive sheath has a first mating portion,
- at a second location between the first end and the second end, the non-conductive sheath has a second mating portion,
- the first mating portion and the second mating portion mate with one another to couple a first portion of the non-conductive sheath to a second portion of the non-conductive sheath,
- the first portion of the non-conductive sheath extends between and includes the first end of the non-conductive sheath and the first mating portion,
- the second portion of the non-conductive sheath extends between and includes the second end of the non-conductive sheath and the second mating portion, and
- when the first mating portion and the second mating portion are not mated with one another, the strength member is at least one of removable from or insertable into at least one of the first portion of the non-conductive sheath or the second portion of the non-conductive sheath.
