Abstract
Method of producing a rod anchoring structure particularly for use in high tension insulators. It comprises an assembly of a rod in an anchoring fixing. The end of the rod is fitted with a surrounding double ended wedge element having a neck and flaring in both directions along the rod away from the neck. This wedge element is then jammed in the anchoring fixing, either by deforming a sleeve tightly around the wedge element or by winding a filament tightly around it.
Claims18
A method of producing a rod anchoring structure comprising the steps:
- molding onto the end of a rod a surrounding, double-ended wedge element having a neck from which flared ends of increasing cross-sectional area extend in both axial directions along the rod, and
- concentrically mounting to said wedge element an anchoring fitting with said anchoring fitting radially compressing said wedge element over said neck and said flared ends in the absence of an axial load on the rod.
