WILTlIAM K. KRIPS AND GEORGE W. WRIGHT, 0F PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYL'VANIA:
AERIAL-CABLE *surron'r.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, WILLIAM K. Kai-rs and GEORGE. W. WRIGHT, citizens of the United States, and residents of Philadel- SJhia, in the county of Philadelphia 'and tate of Pennsylvania, have inventedfa certain new and useful Aerial Oable Support, of which the following is a specification.
The ordinary cable sup ort and theone mostcommonly employed is the crimped support audit is unsatisfactory because a special crimping tool is used to apply it, which requires the "use of both hands and leaves the lineman suspendedin a precarious position. Various types of self-locking supports have been proposed and while some of them may possess advantages peculiar to themselves the advantages, if any are nullified by the liability of disengagement ,of the support when there are any dents or v other rough surfaces upon the cable covercolnpanying drawings,
ing. The desideratum therefore is a cable support which may be readily applied with one hand and which when applied is positively locked against accidental disengagement.
Such a support is contemplated by the present invention and'the invention also contemplates a. support which may be readily disengaged manually and the life of which is not impaired by long usage.
e nature, characteristic "features and be more readily un erstood by reference to the following description, taken in connection with the acforming a part hereand wherein- Figure 1, is a perspective View of an aerial cable support constructed in accordance with our invention and applied to a strand or span-wire. Fig. 2, is an end view. Fig. an view; and Figs. 4 and 5, illustrate modlfied structures.
We generally employ inconstructing our support a wire possessed of some res'ihency' which is doubled upon itself and then bent to form the cable-carrying ring or' loop a. One sidev or element of the; loop is then formed neanits eagtrernity, into a transversely ranging hook. or which receives'thespan-wire with more or less lateral tension. This hook or member 6, takes a three-point bearing on the spanwire, namely at to bottom, and one side. The other limb or e ement of the loo'p'termi- Specification of Letters Patent.

nates in. diverging arms a, that extend up.- .wardly and terminate in abutments or hooklike terminals 0?, that overhang the spanwire at either end of the stirrup and are substantially alined with the latter. The terminals 03, also have a three-pointbearing on the span wire, namely at top and both sides. Otherwise stated," the terminals d, and the stirrup or gooseneck member I), with reference to How they clutch the span-wire are disposed at a right angle relative to each other. It will be understoodthat the device soconstructed is snapped upon the span-wire and that no further manipulating, shaping, or bending is required to hold it in position, the form ofthe clutch and the tension of the spring-"loop operating to positively lock it against accidental disengagement.
In the modification, Fig. 4, the closed end of the wire forms a bill or hook e, that overhangs but does not extend below the spanwire; and in Fig; 5,-the bill or hook f, over bangs and extendsb'elowthe span-wire.
It is obvious that various other changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention and that to this end the invention is not limited other than the prior state of the art demands.
Having described the nature and objects of the invention, what we claim anddesire to secure by Letters Patent is z- 1. An aerial cable support consistin of a cable carrying loop one element of whic has a transversely-ranging hook or stirrup that engages the top, bottom, and one side of the span wire, and whereof the other element has hook-like terminals that engage both sides andthe' top of the span wire. 2. An aerial cable su port consisting of a spring wire double upon itself and whereof the medial or formed with a transversely ranging hook or gooseneck terminal that engages the span wire and whereof the single members are formed with divergent hook-like terminals that look the gooseneck upon the span wire. In testimony whereof we have hereunto signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
