Patent number: 11005250Abstract: A structure for supporting a wire includes a first portion including a body portion, and an alignment portion. The alignment portion defines a first alignment opening through which the alignment portion receives a first fastener. The first alignment opening extends along a first alignment axis between. A second portion defines a second alignment opening, extending along a second alignment axis, through which the second portion receives the first fastener. The second portion is spaced a distance from the body portion to define a wire opening into which the wire is received for support by the structure. The alignment portion is movable relative to the body portion between a first position, in which the first alignment axis and the second alignment axis are coaxial, and a second position, in which the first alignment axis and the second alignment axis are non-coaxial.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2018Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Preformed Line Products Co.Inventors: Benjamin Franklin Ciesielczyk, Adam Michael Deel, Lan-Ping Ling, Cameron Joseph Clines, Jacob Jeffrey Palmer

Patent number: 10790654Abstract: A support device for supporting a wire includes a first support portion. A second support portion includes a first leg portion and a second leg portion that extends linearly and is attached to the first leg portion and to the first support portion. A third support portion includes a third leg portion having a third inwardly facing surface, which faces towards the third axial opening, and a third outwardly facing surface, which does not face towards the third axial opening. The third inwardly facing surface and the third outwardly facing surface have a different surface roughness. A fourth leg portion has a fourth inwardly facing surface, which faces towards the fourth axial opening, and a fourth outwardly facing surface, which does not face towards the fourth axial opening. The fourth inwardly facing surface and the fourth outwardly facing surface have a same surface roughness.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Preformed Line Products Co.Inventors: Lan-Ping Ling, Cameron Wallace

Patent number: 10184502Abstract: An insert for a conductor clamp has a body portion for applying a clamping force to a conductor. The insert includes an insert body receivable by the body portion of the conductor clamp. The insert body has a first surface adapted to face a portion of the conductor. The insert body is made from a non-metallic and electrically non-conductive material. An adhesive is applied to at least a portion of the first surface of the insert body. A friction enhancing material applied to at least a portion of the adhesive.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2015Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Preformed Line Products Co.Inventors: Jonathon Olszewski, Lan-Ping Ling

Patent number: 9859695Abstract: A structure for supporting a wire includes a first portion extending along a first axis. The first portion includes a body portion and an alignment portion. The alignment portion is removably coupled to the body portion. The first alignment opening extends between a first side and a second side of the alignment portion. The first side has a first surface portion and a second surface portion. The first surface portion is separated a first distance from the first axis. The second surface portion is separated a second distance from the first axis. The first distance is different than the second distance. The structure includes a second portion defining a second alignment opening through which the second portion receives the fastener. The second portion is spaced a distance from the body portion to define a wire opening into which the wire is received for support by the structure.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2017Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: PREFORMED LINE PRODUCTS CO.Inventors: Mark Burns, Lan-Ping Ling, David C.
