Abstract
A support system for transmission lines includes a base plate, a securing assembly, and a supporting arm. The base plate is secured to the transmission line pole with the securing assembly. The supporting arm can include an insulating apparatus; the insulator apparatus of the supporting arm is adapted to provide a safe dielectric distance from the transmission power line and the transmission line structure, e.g., power pole. A first end of the supporting arm is carried by a mounting member and is connected to the transmission line pole via the base plate, while the second end can receive a conductor with a connector. The connector is adapted to secure a conductor, and is positioned at the second end of the insulator apparatus.
Claims15
A non-boring support system for temporarily supporting at least one transmission power line with a transmission line structure, the non-boring support system comprising:
- an arm for supporting the transmission power line, a first end of the arm extending outwardly from the transmission line structure in an approximate normal orientation, and a second end of the arm carrying the transmission power line;
- a base plate detachably coupled to the first end of the arm;
- and
- at least one non-boring securing assembly for securing the baseplate to the transmission line structure, the non-boring securing assembly wrapped around a portion of the transmission line structure.
A non-boring support system for carrying an apparatus, the non-boring support system comprising:
- a first base plate shaped to receive a portion of the perimeter of a support structure;
- a first arm for supporting the apparatus, a first end of the first arm extending outwardly from a first side of the base plate, and a second end of the first arm carrying the apparatus;
- and
- at least one non-boring securing assembly for securing the base plate to the support structure, the non-boring securing assembly wrapped around a portion of the support structure and coupled to the base plate.
