Abstract: A combination cable guard and centralizer device, comprising an arcuate-shaped elongate base member having tapered ends, a pair of first hinge-housing portions wherein each of said pair is at an opposite end of a first elongate edge, and an opposite first elongate edge has a pair of spaced-apart channels for receiving and demountably engaging therein a shank portion and a flanged head portion of a bolt, and (ii) a complementary arcuate-shaped elongate upper member having tapered ends, a second hinge-housing portion in rotational hinged communication with the pair of first hinge-housing portions. The upper member has a second pair of channels for rotationally receiving therein a cylindrical rod having a female-threaded bore therethrough, and a third set of channels for receiving therethrough a male-threaded portion of the bolt wherein the male-threaded bolt is threadably engaged with the female-threaded bore of the cylindrical rod.
