IMPLEMENT FOR LOCALLY SEPARATING ASSOCIATED CONDUCTORS IN ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION LINEs Filed April 22, 1963 INVENTOR G M M H P E S O J United States Patent Ofifice 3,174,123 Patented Mar. 23, 1965 3,174,723 IMPLEMENT FOR LOCALLY SEPARATING ASSD- CIATED @ONDUCTORS IN ELECTRIC TRANS- MISdION LINES Joseph M. McGuire, 2814 Hargrave St., Philadelphia, Pa. Filed Apr. 22, 1963, Ser. No. 274,706 7 Claims. (Cl. 254131) In modern electric transmission systems secondary energy for delivery to consumers is usually alternating current at about 240 volts evenly divided between two insulated conductors which are thus at a potential of about 120 v. each with respect to a third neutral or grounded one. More particularly it is the general practice to use a stranded aluminum and steel cable for the neutral conductor or messenger with insulated copper conductors either tightly Wound in elongated spirals about it or snugly lashed to it by a separate lashing wire whereby their principal support is derived from the cable and relatively little tension imposed upon the copper conductors themselves. However they must be locally separated from the cable and from each other to enable other conductors to be spliced to them as when a service connection is to be made; moreover it is becoming increasingly the practice to splice such lines to hot or fully energized conductors when practical, and means for holding the conductors locally in spaced relation to permit such splicing therefore must be devoid of risk of short circuits.
United States Patent 2,841,364 issued July 1, 1958 to Donald L. Pratt discloses an implement intended to facilitate separation of a pair of intertwined conductors from a messenger associated with them to enable them to be spliced into, but it subjects the insulation on the conductors to severe and often damaging abrasion, is unstable and difiicult to manipulate, and perhaps for these and possibly other reasons has not gone into general use.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide a novel implement especially suited for locally spreading or separating normally contacting portions of a pair of insulated conductors from each other and from a usually uninsulated messenger or neutral conductor about which they are wound or to which they are lashed or otherwise secured.
A further object is to provide an implement of this character adapted for spreading three normally contacting wires to dispose them locally at spaced points corresponding substantially to the vertices of a triangle whereby each is freed spatially from the others so work upon it can be performed without interference due to the presence of the others.
Another object is to provide an implement which may be readily manipulated to separate locally the strands of a three-strand cable or the like and comprising means for releasably locking its principal elements in strand separating position to facilitate such operations as the splicing of the ends of other strands respectively to them.
Other purposes, objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter more fully appear or will be understood from the following description of a preferred embodiment of it wherein reference will be had to the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of my implement shown in operative association with a fragmentarily illustrated typical electric energy service line comprising two insulate-d conductors and an uninsulated messenger preparatory to separation of the three components by manipulation of the implement;
FIG. 2 is a corresponding perspective after spreading of the components;
FIG. 3 is a face view of one of the two principal elements of the implement, and
FIG. 4 is a like view of the other such element carrying locking means as hereinafter more fully described.
More particularly, in the drawing a typical bundled secondary wiring construction is indicated comprising energized conductors C enclosed within appropriate insula tion I which are twisted with, lashed to or otherwise normally held in contact with a neutral usually uninsulated conductor or messenger cable M which is preferably of tensile strength considerably greater than conductors C to which it therefore affords primary support between elevated anchoring structures between which the bundled secondary wiring is stretched. It will be understood the term bundled is herein used generically to designate an assembly of a plurality of conductors whether twisted together or held in substantially parallel relation by lashing wire or other appropriate means (not shown) and that when a lashing wire or the like is used for the purpose it is unwound from the line for a short distance on either side of the proposed site of the work to be done as a preliminary to introducing my spreading implement among the conductors in the manner shown in FIG. 1.
The implement itself comprises complementary platelike members 1, 2 of glass fiber reinforced plastic, 8. phenol formaldehyde condensation product or other suitable dielectric material /s to A1" or so thick and as they, save as hereinafter described, are identical in conformation, the same numerals with the addition of a prime in the case of member 7;, will be used to designate corresponding portions of each.
Considering the members, therefore, in the positions of FIGS. 3 and 4, each roughly approximates an inverted L in shape and comprises a foot 3 and a leg 4 forming a downwardly extending handle. Toward the extremity or toe of its laterally projecting foot the member is provided with a slot 6 having a rounded bottom and directed generally upward in approximate parallelism with the leg or handle, the width of the slot being sulficient to readily receive one of the insulated conductors which the implement is to be used to separate. The upper periphery of the toe portion proximate each slot is rounded off to form a book 7 and thence is returned in a slightly outwardly bulging curve to define a cam surface 8 which terminates in a sharply upwardly curved surface 9 to form a jaw 10 projecting outwardly from the heel of the member in general alignment with the leg or handle.
To hold or lock the handles in alignment when desired appropriate means are provided, conveniently a preferably metal ring 15 slidable longitudinally in a recess 1s formed near the end of the handle on one of the members, for example 2, and adapted to seat over the correspondingly reduced end of the somewhat shorter handle of the other member 1.
When it is desired to locally separate the assembled conductors C and messenger M the lashing wire or other means utilized for holding them together is unwound or otherwise freed from the locality of the desired separation, the members of the implement are brought substantially to the position shown in FIG. 1 and the implement then manipulated so as to bring hooks 7 against messenger M and the conductors C into slots 6. Thereupon the handles are swung downwardly to bring them into alignment with resultant seating of the messenger cable between the jaws 1t and lateral separation of conductors C respectively engaged in slots 6, the axes of the conductors and messenger then substantially defining the corners of an isosceles triangle as in FIG. 2.
The ring or collar which during the preceding movement of the handles is in its lowermost position may now be slid upwardly over the extremity of the handle of member 1 so as to retain the handles in registry and maintain the conductors separated for as long as may be desired. Upon completion of work upon the conductors, the implement may be removed by sliding the ring back to normal position and allowing the members to return substantially to the position of FIG. 1 under the pressure exerted upon them by the conductors preparatory to disengagement of the implement from the latter and subsequent replacement of the lashing wire or other means for maintaining the assembled relation of the conductors and messenger.
It will be recognized that members 1, 2 of the implement herein shown and described can be produced from identically shaped pieces and for convenience in manufacture this is usually preferable but not essential, for implements embodying the invention may be made with the camming surfaces 8 of the respective members of different shapes or with their hooks 7 disposed at different distances from holes 13 in which case the triangle defined by the separated strands may and usually will be other than isosceles, and the members thus may in general assume any desired shapes having proper disposition of hooks and cams.
Furthermore although the implement described is perhaps most suitable for separating the strands of a bundled secondary line such as that to which reference has been made, others may be of size and structure suitable for locally separating high voltage primary conductors, underground cables, and in fact the individuals of any group comprising three elongated sufficiently flexible components.
While I have herein shown and described an implement made from elemental components of specific configuration, it will be understood that configuration was developed empirically and it is not averred it is critical, or that with some other configuration it might not be improved in its operation; the present configuration nevertheless is believed to be the best thus far developed, and hence while I have shown and described it and other aspects of one embodiment of the invention in specific terms I do not desire or intend thereby to be limited or confined in any way, as changes and modifications in the form, structure, arrangement and relationship of the several parts will readily occur to those skilled in the art and may be utilized if desired without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
