  • Publication number: 20190115738
    Abstract: A cable suspension clamp includes a first clamp body and a second clamp body. Each of the first clamp body and the second clamp body define a cable receiving region, wherein the cable receiving regions of the first clamp body and the second clamp body together define a cable channel which extends along a longitudinal direction. The second clamp body is selectively movable relative to the first clamp body along the transverse direction between an open position and a closed position. The first clamp body and the second clamp body together define the cable channel when the second clamp body is in the closed position.

  • Patent number: 9800039
    Abstract: An asymmetric Stockbridge damper including a clamp and two weights of unequal mass connected to the damper. The damper may further include one or two messenger strands connecting the weights to the clamp. The weights may be situated so that they are an unequal distance from the clamp. The damper may further include a base connected to the clamp, and the weights may be connected to the base. The weights may be bell-shaped. The weights may have smooth contours. The clamp may use a breakaway bolt. The clamp may be designed for high temperature conductor applications. The messenger strands may be made of a 19-strand cable. The messenger strands may be attached to end of the weights and flushed to those ends.

  • Patent number: 9748670
    Abstract: A method for connecting a conductor and a conductor connector accessory includes inserting an end portion of the conductor into an interior of a tube, and inserting the tube into an interior of a barrel. The barrel defines a plurality of radial passages extending between an outer surface of the barrel and the interior of the barrel. The method further includes providing a plurality of lobes, each of the plurality of lobes disposed within one of the plurality of passages. The method further includes inserting the barrel into an interior of an outer shell, and compressing the outer shell, barrel, lobes, tube and end portion together.
