Abstract: A plurality of conductors are surrounded by a continuous, flexible belt which is doubled over to provide loops at each end thereof. Non-metallic rods are disposed through the loops for providing surfaces to which a non-metallic buckle or strap is connected for securing the belt. The belt consists of a plurality of glass fiber cords which are surrounded by a cured elastomeric material. The cords are formed from glass fiber strands which are twisted sufficiently to provide the desired amount of belt strength and flexibility.

Abstract: A winding conductor is surrounded by a continuous, flexible belt which is doubled over to provide loops at each end thereof. A non-metallic rod is disposed through the loops and through an opening in an adjacent supporting member. A wedge is inserted in the opening to move the rod and produce tension in the belt for forcing the conductor tightly in a radial direction against the supporting member. The belt consists of a plurality of glass fiber cords which are surrounded by a cured elastomeric material. The cords are formed from glass fiber strands which are twisted sufficiently to provide the desired amount of belt strength and flexibility.
