Abstract:
1. A transmission line assembly for transmission and distribution of high voltage power comprising: a conductor having a predetermined length; a separate messenger member having a predetermined length; means for coupling the messenger to the conductor, such that the messenger member remains structurally separate from the conductor and functionally independent thereof. wherein the conductor and the messenger member are spaced apart from each other a predetermined distance, and wherein the coupling mean facilitates the maintenance of the separation of the messenger relative to the conductor; wherein the coupling means comprises a messenger tray assembly defining a channel structurally configured to receive the messenger, a conductor tray assembly defining a channel structurally configured to receive the conductor, and a pivotable coupling assembly which facilitates the pivotable coupling of the messenger tray assembly relative to the conductor tray assembly; and wherein the pivotable coupling means comprises a pair of ear members on each of the messenger tray assembly and the conductor tray assembly, and a pivoting connector pivotably extending through each of the ear members, to in turn, facilitate pivoting of the messenger tray assembly relative to the conductor tray assembly.
