Patent ID: 7578488

Claim:
A non-boring support system for supporting a temporary supporting arm for use in a reconducting process in a normal orientation to a utility pole, the non-boring support system comprising: a securing assembly having a housing defining a pathway for receiving the supporting arm such that the orientation of the supporting arm to the utility pole can only be normal when the securing assembly is secured to the utility pole, the securing assembly having a locking device for releasably securing at least a portion of the supporting arm within the housing of the securing assembly; a non-boring mounting assembly coupled to the securing assembly for releasably securing the securing assembly to the utility pole, the mounting assembly having a flexible fastening element, mounting aperture, and a tensioner element, the flexible fastening element passing through the mounting aperture and wrapping substantially around the utility pole, the tensioner element adjusting the tension in the flexible fastening element to tighten the flexible fastening element around the utility pole; a liner disposed on a surface of the pathway, the liner increasing the frictional force between at least a portion of the supporting arm and the pathway a saddle receiving the supporting arm, the saddle providing insulation from a conductor to the supporting arm, the saddle comprising a first seat and a second seat, the first seat of the saddle comprising a first connector and the second seat of the saddle comprising a second connector, wherein the first connector of the first seat is an insulator pin that insulates the conductor from the supporting arm.
