Abstract:
A mounting assembly for connecting an insulator to a support structure comprising:a base member having a pair of opposed bearing seats spaced apart from one another in alignment along a bearing axis;a one-piece coupling member having a first end received within said pair of opposed bearing seats and a second end adapted to be coupled to the insulator, said first end defining a first pivot axis for the insulator and said second end defining a second pivot axis for the insulator, said first pivot axis being substantially coincident with said bearing axis and said second pivot axis being substantially perpendicular to said first pivot axis; andmeans for securing said base member to the support structure, wherein said means for securing comprises at least one hole passing through said base member and having an axis that intersects an extension of said bearing axis at a position outside said first end of said one-piece coupling member.
