ABSTRACT:
A gaff guard 30 for protecting the gaff 20 of a lineman's climber 10 having a leg iron 11 to which the gaff is secured comprises a body of synthetic resinous material having parts comprising, a scabbard 31 having a hollow interior 37 for receiving the point 22 of the gaff, a clip 32 adapted to straddle transversely opposite sides of leg iron 11 at a location above gaff 20 and to there attach to leg iron 11 by a snap-on action such that tabs 67 of the clip make contact with the back face of leg iron 11, and a resilient stem 33 coupling together scabbard 31 and clip 32 in fixed spatial relation when the stem is resiliently unstressed. Stem 33 is joined to scabbard 31 inwards of the outer side thereof and, moreover, is transversely offset from the centerline 48 of interior 37 to permit the stem to lie to one transverse side of the base 21 of the gaff when guard 30 is in use.
