ABSTRACT:
A pair of support members which clamp to an aerial cable and hold a tarp beneath the cable is disclosed. Since the support members couple to one another only through the tarp, they may be positioned at any distance from one another on the cable. The support members tightly clamp to the cable through a lashing strap and buckle arrangement. Each of the support members includes first and second spreader arms, which clamp to the tarp and position the edges of the tarp horizontally away from the cable. The support members hold the tarp in a "V" shape with the distance between the cable and the bottom of the "V" shape being adjustable through an axle assembly. Moreover, the axle assembly permits adjustment of spreader arm angles to vary the horizontal positioning of tarp edges. These numerous adjustable features permit the apparatus to be oriented for a wide variety of single and multiple cable configurations.
