UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ENOCH ASP, OF MANIS'IIQUE, MICHIGAN WIRE SUPPORT FOR INSULA'IORS Application filed February 24, 1930. Serial No. 430,580.
This invention relates to an improved wire 14 is bent into the form of a loop, and pivsupport for insulators, particularly those otally mounted in the loop end of the wire 14 glass insulators of what is known as the skirt is the looped end of another wire 22 which is type used on telephone poles or the like. passed through the looped end of the wire 12 One of the important objects of this invenat a point adjacent its looped contact with 5 tion is to provide means in conjunction with the end of the wire 14. This wire 22 is then such an insulator whereby the telephone wire brought forwardly in approximately a paralcan be conveniently and readily mounted lel relation to the wire 1%, having its end terthereon, and attached thereto without in any minating in a slight hook shape as shown at way twisting the telephone wire while at the 24, which is adapted to be passed under a to same time assuring of a positive and permalatch or the like 26 formed of a small length nent connection, which, however, can be readof wire and looped around the wire 14 at ily released if desired or necessary. the point where the extending arm 18 Another important ob ect of this invention branches ofi 16 is the provision of a wire mounting and sup- AClJOllllllg the forward ends 16 and 18 of port for insulators which itself is made of the wires 12 and 14 respectively is a cross wire bent or twisted into shape, thereby renpiece 28 also formed of Wire and having its dering the same quite cheap and economical middle portion bent into a double loop as best of manufacture, and which is also of such a illustrated at 30 in Figure 4. It will be noted 20 construction that it can be readily applied that this loop is bifurcated and is adapted to 8'0 to the insulator either when the same is in receive in its crotch the telephone or electric position on a telephone pole or by the linelight wire 40.

Further, the same can be readily applied semi-circular shape, and having outwardly without the complicated twisting attachments extending ends 16 and 18, each end being bent heretofore considered necessary in securely up in the form of a hook as best shown at 20. mounting wire on such an insulator, and most The inner end of each of the wires 12 and of the work can be done on the ground, there- "i by eliminating considerable difficulty and danger. Again, the device can be readily released, if desired, and after being so released can be used again.
5 I am aware that many changes may be made and numerous details of construction varied throughout a wide range without departing from the principles of this invention, and I therefore do not purpose limiting the patent 1 granted hereon otherwise than as necessitated by the prior art.
I claim as my invention:
1. A wire support for insulators, comprising elements adapted to surround an insulator, and grip a wire to be supported, said elements comprising a pair of semi-circular arms, a cross-brace connecting the forward ends of the arms, and means for locking the arms and the brace in wire-supporting position, said means comprising a wire pivotally connecting the rear ends of the arms, and adapted to draw the same and the brace into tightened wire-locking position about the insulator, and latch means for locking the wires in such position, said latch means positioned on one of the arms adjacent its point of connection with the brace.
2. A wire support for insulators, comprising elements adapted to surround an insulator, and grip a wire to be supported, said elements comprising a pair of semi-circular arms, a cross-brace connecting the forward ends of the arms, means for locking the arms and the brace in wire-supporting position,
said means comprising a third arm pivotally connecting the rear ends of the two firstnamed. arms and adapted to draw the same into tightened relation with the insulator, and a bifurcated wire-receiving crotch formed in the medial portion of said brace.
3. A wire support for insulators, comprising elements adapted to surround an insula tor, and grip a wire to be supported, said ele ments comprising a pair of semi-circular arms, a cross-brace connecting the forward ends of the arms, means for locking the arms and the brace in wire-supporting position, said means comprising a third arm pivotally connecting the rear ends of the two first named arms and adapted to draw the same into tightened relation with the insulator, and a bifurcated wire-receiving crotch formed in the medial portion of said brace, wire-gripping hooks on the forward ends of the arms,
and latch means to retain the end of said third arm in wire gripping and locking position.
In testimony whereof I aifiX my signature.
