ABSTRACT:
A grounding mechanism adapted for use with a support assembly suspending an overhead linear member. The grounding mechanism includes first and second leg portions disposed generally perpendicular to each other. The first leg portion has a generally arcuate conformation over its axial length. The second leg portion is angularly disposed relative to the longitudinal axis of the first leg portion so as to extend outwardly from the support assembly through gaps defined between helical rods gripping the linear member. The arcuate conformation of the first leg portion increases in dimension as it extends from a first distal end toward the second leg portion. Reinforcing ribs are disposed at the juncture of the first and second leg portions to strengthen the grounding mechanism. The new grounding mechanism is mounted between the helical rods and the cable within the support assembly. Preferably, higher strength helical rods are disposed adjacent the grounding mechanism and these rods are interspersed with the remainder of the support assembly rods.
