Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
The present invention provides a method of drawing out wire from a reel, particularly line wires which are to be suspended from poles, comprising suspending said reel below an aircraft on a supporting frame, and flying the aircraft over the poles so that the wire is laid on supports attached thereto as the wire is unwound from the reel.
The present invention provides a method of drawing out wire from a reel, particularly line wires which are to be suspended from poles, comprising suspending said reel below an aircraft on a supporting frame, and flying the aircraft over the poles so that the wire is laid on supports attached thereto as the wire is unwound from the reel.
Description
This invention reiates to a method of drawing out wires, particularly electric cables which are to be suspended overhead from poles. The wires are wound on reels which are mounted rotat-ably on a horizontal shaft.
Hitherto in order to hang the wires from their supporting insulators, a crane movable over the terrain has been used which has a boom carrying a cage for a workman. This was hoisted up with the supporting insulator in each pole for adjusting the wire.
This work is laborious and time consuming, especially in a rough terrain, but can be facilitated in a high degree.
According to thepresent invention there is provided a method of drawing out wire from areel to provide line wires which are suspended from poles, comprising suspending said reel for rotation about a horizontal axis below an aircraft on a supporting frame, and flying the aircraft over the poles so that the wire is drawn out and laid on supports attached thereto as the wire is unwound from the reel, said wire on unwinding from said reel sliding between guide members disposed on inwardly turned mutually opposed ends of a pair of parallel projecting arms for said frame to thereby guide said frame.
The present invention also provides an apparatus for use with an aircraft for drawing out wire from a reel to provide line wires suspended from poles over which the aircraft flies which apparatus comprises a frame adapted to be attached beneath said aircraft, said frame mounting said reel for rotation about i a horizontal axis beneath said aircraft said frame being provided - with a pair of substantially parallel projecting arms having inwardly turned, mutual~y opposed ends, said ends carrying guide members which slide along said wire and thereby guide said frame.
The inveniion will now be described in more detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view showing a helicopter drawing out an overhead wire;
Fig. 2 is a close-up view showing a supporting insulator;
Fig. 3 shows a supporting reel lifted by a helicopter;
and Fig. 4 shows the detachable shaft of the reel.
The wire 1, in the form of an electric cable, which is to be drawn out and suspended is wound on an ordinary reel 2.
Before drawing out the wire, the reelismounted in a U-frame 4, provided with a lift eye 3 in such a manner, that a shaft 6 provided with a crank S is inserted through holes, not .

shown, in the lower ends of the yoke and the central hole through the reel. A threaded end 7 of the shaft is screwed into a central hole 8 of a disk 9 forming part of a disc brake.
The disk is connected to an attachment means 10, so that the reel can turn the disk 9. 11 is a yoke of the disk brake. 12 is an electric jack, which is connected to the brake cylinder 13 of the hydraulic disk brake. The electric jack is remotely operated by a connecting means 14.
For the drawing out and hanging up of the wire 1, a 10 helicopter 15 or another flying vehicle is used. To this end the helicopter is provided with a winch, not shown, the lift wire 16 of which carries a lift hook 17. The lift wire is part-ially drawn out and the lifting hook is attached to the lift eye 3 of the frame 4. The connection means 14 is attached to an operating means in the cockpit accessible to the pilot of the helicopter. The conductor wire 1 is drawn out partially from the reel 2 and the free end of it is attached to the ground in an suitable manner.
The helicopter then takes off, thereby lifting the frame 4 carrying the reel, and flies forwards slowly along a row of poles thereby winding the conductor wire out from the reel. By means of the disk brake, the pilot gives the conduc-tor a suitable pull. ~e steers the helicopter so that the con-ductor wire is laid in the groove 18 in the top of the support-ing insulators 19, which are mounted in the poles along the desired direction for the conductor wire. By means of a rear-view mirror 21 arranged in the nose of the helicopter the pilot is able to place the conductor wire in the grooves with a great precision. This manoeuvre can be facilitated by providing the supporting insulators with pairs of upright horns 22, which guide the conductor wire towards the grooves 18. Additionally ground workman can direct the pilot by signals and facilitate -'`` lO90~ZZ
this precision work.
Scarcely no movement will occur by the conductor wire in the groove 18 due to the fact that the free end of the conduc-tor wire 1 is attached to the ground. The pilot flies the --helicopter from one pole to another thereby hanging up the conductor wire. When the whole or most of the conductor wire has been unwound from the reel 2, the pilot allows the heli-copter to land or he winches the frame 4 down to the ground, whereafter the ground workmen attach the other end of the con-ductor wire in a suitable manner. They can now climb up the poles and attach the conductor wire to the insulators 19. If more, as a rule three, conductors are to be hung up, the pilot has to travel a corresponding number of times along the row of poles. The attachment of the conductor wires to the insulators can wait until all of the conductor wires have been drawn out and hung up. In this manner only one climb of each pole will be necessary in spite of the fact that more conductor wires have been hung up.
i To prevent the frame 4 carrying the reel 2 from being turned obliquelly by the pull of the conductor wire 1, the frame can be guided by two guiding arms 23 directed backwards from the lower ends of the frame. Their free ends are biassed against each other and rotatably mounted guide wheels which rest by means of their grooved peripheries on the conductor wire 1, each from its own direction, where the wire runs out from the reel. The guiding wheels can be replaced by glide shoes or by a guiding eye, through which the conductor wire runs.
By carrying the heavy reel with a helicoper one is no longer dependent on the type of terrain.
Hitherto in order to hang the wires from their supporting insulators, a crane movable over the terrain has been used which has a boom carrying a cage for a workman. This was hoisted up with the supporting insulator in each pole for adjusting the wire.
