Myinvention relatesto a` ste adying support for trolley concluctors and" has'particular' application to such' conductors as Suspended from the catenary ca'ble.
` The object otmy invention is to provide* a devce which willpreventside sway of the trolley concluctor, butat the same'time permit a vertical movement due to theupward pressur'e of thecurrent" collector. as it moves'a lon'g the trolley* wire and also' to permi t' a pivotal movement. of the clampj tor' supportng the troll'ey conrluct'or about a verticalaxssuch tha-t the trolTey clamp will have freedbmto move with the troll'ey wire' as it whips side' ways, thue relieving to a' large* degree Stress* 25 Figs. 3 and 4 and' 5 arer detailed views of the through or'clamping'bol't whi cli I emplby:
I have shown in Fig lmy inventon as` having one end Secured to a' support' 1" means of. a' fittngwhich in' turn' s` Secured' may have a proj ectng tongue 4 withahole therethrough to receive the pin" 5; I't will berecognizedhy those skuadra theart that in place of the support' 1 assh'own' the devicemay he attachecl to* other forms of' support common in overheadrailway Construction.
The troll'ey' conductor 6 is gripped by a; clamp 71 c'omprising'jaw'member 8 and &each proviclecljwith lips lOjto* grip' the conduct-,or 61 The jaweS and 9` have abutting members` 11 at one' endi The j aw's 8 and 9' are provided withtransverse' registeri ng h'oles between their upper' and l'oweredges' to receive the through bolt 1'2' shown` in cletail" in Figs. 3`, 4:' and. 5' and which comprises' a Stud portion' I with a threaded end 14 to receive the nut 15- and a socl' et portionl'having a passage 17 thereithrou'gh. When thethrough holti is posi- `tionccl relative to' the jaws' 8 and &and the'- to the support 1` bythe bolts' 31 Thefitting 2* nut1*5 d'rawr up, the jaws' will be forced into tight engagement with the' trolley conductor' 6)' and: the* abutting porti'ons 1'1 will also be forced into'` contact and" will act' a-s a fulcrum point for the jaws; If desired a spring lbck waslier 18 may' be' used'.
The "cl amp' 1 7" i s'supported by means of' the' steady rod 19" which is shown as. compri'sing a metal" member' 20 having a' bent' end por tion 21 which is` positionecf in the vertically clisposed passage?? in the' bolt 12 and. is prevented* froni vertical displacement by means oftheoverhanging lip'2`2` on the jew' 8. This Construction' will maintain' the clamp 7 and thesteady '1'od` 1 9? in' assembled' relation: such that the clamp will swivel in a; horizontal plane relative to the steady rod 19 and will move in a' vertical plane with the' member 1'9 a's the member 19 pivots: about the pin- 5'.
The rod" U'isshown' as secure'd to a strain insulator 23 which comprses an end ca'p 24` 'having' a cl'evis portion 25' Secured to the tongue 4 hy'means'of the pin 5 and also an end* cap 26 having' a' threaded portion 27 secured to the thre'a'ded end 28* of the rod 20. The end c aps 24* and 26' are connected by means' of the insulating` member' 29 which may be of wood or other suitable' insulating materiali The member 29" may have. tap'cring end portions upon which the Caps 24:. and 26 are compressed' or' the caps and end portions of the member 29 may he threadecl together or' they maybe Secured in other approved manner. In assemhling* the rod 20 to the. clamp 7 the bent en 21 is' positioned in* the'pas'- sage 17 before the member 12 is. position'ed with respect to the jaws. 8 and 9'.
'I prefer to have the longitudinal axis of the arm 19 angula r'ly disposed to the vertical plane common to the trol'ley wire holder 7 and the trolley' wire 6', thus giving: greater clearance' between the arm 1'9 and the outer end of a moving bow or pant'ograph current coll'ector;
Modifications of course will be apparent to those` shilled-` in the art', but I wish to be limited only by my" claims.
