Patent ID: 7977571

Claim:
A conductor supporting assembly comprising: an opposed-facing pair of first and second tension supports having a parallel pair of flexible first and second elongate members extending therebetween in spaced parallel array, a means for tensioning said first and second elongate members so as to selectively draw said first and second tension supports toward each other, first and second conductor mounts cooperating with said first and second tension supports for mounting said first and second tension supports in spaced apart array to and along a conductor segment of a conductor to be serviced so as to extend the conductor segment along and substantially medially between said first and second elongate members, whereby said drawing of said first and second tension supports toward each other de-tensions the conductor segment to allow for the service, wherein said tension supports are yoke assemblies, and wherein each yoke assembly of said yoke assemblies include a rigid spreader element extending orthogonally between said elongate members.
