ABSTRACT:
A device for cleaning the surface of aerial conductors comprises a rotary brush having a circumferential groove, a fluid- powered motor for driving the brush rotationally, and a J-hook hanger guide one end of which is secured to the power drive housing and the other end of which is adapted to be hooked over the cable. The hanger guide is so shaped and aligned relative to the rotary brush that when the hanger guide is hooked over and supported on the conductor, the conductor is engaged by the brush bristles within the circumferential groove of the rotary brush. The assembly device is mounted at one end of a hot stick which is manipulated by a single lineman to slide the power-driven brush along the conductor in a first direction to clean one-half of the peripheral surface of the conductor. Then the device is turned through 180.degree. and slid along the conductor in the opposite direction to clean the other half of the peripheral surface.
