ABSTRACT:
A combination of apparatus for laterally offsetting power lines from a utility pole, and maintaining the utility pole in an essentially vertical orientation and statically balanced condition. A truss assembly is pivotally mounted to a utility pole adjacent the top thereof. The truss includes a tubular member which extends in laterally spaced, parallel relation to a utility pole, and which receives therethrough an elongated rod adapted to securely receive and support several types of power lines. The elongated rod includes several insulated candlesticks, or wire receiving members, on its top end, and includes several, longitudinally spaced holes formed transversely therethrough, each one of which operably receives an insulated, wire receiving bolt. To counter-act the unbalanced load placed on the utility pole by the laterally offset power lines, a guy wire is attached at its ends to the upper and lower ends of the utility pole. The guy wire passes around a pulley assembly which is adjustably interconnected to the utility pole. By adjusting the lateral distance separating the pulley assembly from the utility pole, the tension in the guy wire is correspondingly adjusted. Accordingly, by adjusting the tension in the guy wire to counter-act the unbalanced load put on the utility pole by the offset power lines, the utility pole will be maintained in an essentially vertical orientation and in a statically balanced condition.
