Abstract: A stand-off device for supporting an energized conductor from a utility pole includes an elongated self-supporting stand-off body, a utility pole connecting arm extending from the elongated body at one end for connection to a utility pole, and an energized conductor contact arm fastened to an opposite end of the elongated body. When the utility pole connecting arm is mounted or connected to a utility pole, the energized conductor contact arm at the other end of the elongated body contacts and supports an energized conductor in a stand-off position from the utility pole.

Abstract: A davit arm for an electrical utility pole or the like is disclosed and is adapted to support an electrical conductor or fiber optic cable on an associated electrical utility pole. The davit arm includes an elongated self-supporting body adapted to support the electrical conductor or fiber optic cable at free end thereof. A hollow support member is positioned over an opposite end of the elongated body and includes an integral, generally transversely extending supporting flange which is adapted to be attached to an associated utility pole for mounting the elongated self-supporting body in a substantially normal stand-off position relative to the utility pole. The elongated self-supporting body is positively secured within the hollow support member so as maintain the elongated body in assembled relationship thereto during use of the davit arm on an associated utility pole.

Abstract: An improved electrical equipment cluster mount for use upon a utility pole or the like is disclosed. The improved electrical equipment cluster mount includes an elongated bearing plate adapted to be mounted to the utility pole and having one or a pair of spaced and elongated polygonally configured structural members each having a plurality of elongated sides and open ends, said members capable of being solid or hollow, and with each hollow structural member being attached to the elongated bearing plate along one side thereof. A plurality of individual brackets extend from other sides of each hollow structural member in predetermined spaced relationship to one another along the elongated sides and are also structurally interlocked with at least one other adjacent bracket on the hollow structural member for mounting electrical equipment, such as transformers, in a predetermined clustered array relative to the utility pole.

Abstract: An electrical equipment cluster mount for use upon a utility pole or the like is disclosed. The mount includes an elongated bearing plate adapted to be mounted to the utility pole and a hollow polygonal structural member, preferably trapezoidal-shaped, including a plurality of sides, at least one of which is attached to the elongated bearing plate. Individual brackets extend from other sides of the hollow structural member and are interlocked with at least one other adjacent bracket on the hollow structural member. The brackets may be inclined downwardly towards or upwardly away from one another to facilitate mounting of the equipment thereto on different spacings, as well as being positioned at least partially forwardly or rearwardly of the hollow structural member to mount the electrical equipment in a circumferentially disposed array or all on one side of the utility pole.

Abstract: A bracket useful for supporting and holding fiber optic or other cable to a utility pole, or the like, including the bracket having a base member, a shank portion extending integrally therefrom, being curved so as to center the bracket and held cable over its base member, the upper end of the shank portion being bifurcated, integrally formed into a pair of arms, that extend outwardly into the formation of cradle members that support the cable thereon. Tie members in combination with grommets are useful for holding the cable onto the bracket, at each cradle, and at that location between the pair of bracket arms at the location where they are integrally formed extending from the bracket shank portion.

Abstract: An earth anchor for embedding within the ground and incorporating a helical blade(s), having flattened side edges, intervened by rounded or arcuate corners, and connecting with its shank for securement with any driving apparatus useful for the power driving of such an earth anchor into the ground; while the shaped blade of this anchor incorporates a lineal cutting edge, and an arcuate cutting edge, that integrally blends into a segment of the lineal side edge of the blade, and which composite edges function as a compound cutting edge for driving of the earth anchor into the soil, and through the exertion of only a reduced force.

Abstract: A torsionally installed anode for galvanic corrosion protection and a combination torsionally installed anode and earth penetrator is disclosed. The anode may be screwed (i.e., torsionally installed) into the earth (e.g., the seabed, the riverbed, or the ground) so as to constitute a sacrificial anode. The anode may serve the dual purpose of protecting an underwater metallic article (e.g., a pipeline or the like) from corrosion, and of supporting the metallic article above the seabed.

Abstract: An extension brace for supporting a crossarm on a utility pole, having an insulated central section and ribbed brackets attached to the opposite ends of the central section, with the brackets carrying drilled strap means for attachment to the utility pole and the crossarm, with the brackets formed incorporating integrally disposed hook means for partial embedment within the proximate ends of the crossarm to which the brackets connect.

Abstract: An electrical equipment mount designed for providing angulated mounting of transformers or other electrical equipment to the utility pole, wherein one or more crossarms are suspended from the utility pole by means of a pole gain, bearing plate, or other fastener, with a transformer mounting bracket being suspended forwardly of the crossarms through a pair of braces, while a pair of particularly designed angled connectors secure to the bevel ends of the crossarm(s) for securing transformers at both of its ends and at angulated dispositions that face them generally in a direction towards the front of the mount.

Abstract: A bracket for supporting electrical components that accommodate the transmission of three-phase electrical energy. The bracket includes a crossarm, generally of linear design, and formed of electrically conductive tubular material for allowing its supplemental use as a bus bar for grounding of the various electrical components mounted thereon. A series of angle members having flanges that are arranged either horizontally or vertically disposed with respect to a surface of the crossarm, form mounting surfaces upon which either terminations, cutouts, or arrestors, or any combination of such, may be mounted all upon one level with respect to a utility pole. The supports that mount the crossarm to the utility pole are preferably electrically insulative, so as to enhance the protection of a lineman working in proximity to the crossarm.

Abstract: In a collapsible junction support bracket, a series of frameworks, vertically disposed, are pivotally mounted to each other through the agency of a series of side stringers, and braces also connect laterally of the bracket for holding it erect, as when assembled, but said braces are removable to provide for collapsing of the bracket to facilitate its shipment.
