Title: Improvements in and relating to Supports for Electric Conductors.
IPC: H02G7/20
Filed: 1910-04-30
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 10,693. Koopman, E. B., and Pontelec Welding Patents. April 30. Suspending and supporting.-A support for conductors on telegraph posts &c. is constructed by autogenously welding the insulator pins to their supporting crossbeam. The process is preferably carried out by drilling, punching, or otherwise making holes 4 in one flange 1 of the channel-iron 3 so that the insulator pins 5, when inserted, will rest on the flange 2 and against the inner face of the web 3. By pressing the pins against the web and passing a current through the points of contact, the two are welded together. Points or projections 7 may be first formed to produce welds in localized spots; or the welding may extend the whole way along the web. The braces 8, 9 are welded at 10 to the cross-arm and are welded together at 11; the holes 12, 13 serve to secure the device to a telegraph pole or other support. The cross-arm, as indicated in Fig. 5, may be built up by welding the angleirons 14, 15 and the cross-bars 16 together, and then the built-up arm is used as before.
