  • Patent number: 5752679
    Abstract: A stand, comprised of adjustable parts provides a structure for utility cables to be set upon so they can be spliced or repaired. The stand is designed to be placed on flat or semi-flat surfaces without additional support. Constructed primarily from non-conductive material, such as plastic or fiberglass, the stand is lightweight and provides excellent protection from electrocution and gas explosions that may occur from adjacent utilities if disturbed. The stand does not have to be driven into the ground to gain support. It features horizontal and vertical adjustments that conform to cable levels at trench or manhole depths and also to size availability of potholes or pits making it a very productive tool in most situations.
