ABSTRACT:
An insulating protective cover sleeve assembly for a guy wire consisting of a longitudinally slit sleeve of insulating material having an enlarged bottom end portion. In the lower end portion of the sleeve is secured a clamp, likewise of insulating material. The clamp consists of two opposing jaws integrally connected by a flexible band. The jaws are formed with two sets of different-sized opposing arcuate recesses to receive different sizes of guy wires therebetween. One of the jaws has a counterbore hole to receive a clamping screw which is threadedly engageable in the other jaw to tighten the clamp. The wall of the enlarged sleeve portion has a hole registering with the counterbored hole so that a screwdriver or Allen wrench may be drivingly engaged with the clamping screw. A channel-shaped clip engages over the top corner portions of the sleeve segments adjacent the top of the sleeve slit and is secured to one segment. The assembly allows the sleeve to expand or contract without causing distortion thereof. In a modified arrangement, clamps are provided in both the top and bottom of the sleeve, but the top clamp is loose, allowing unrestricted expansion and contraction of the sleeve. The enlarged bottom end portion may be omitted and the clamp may be secured in the normal cross-section at the bottom end of the slit sleeve.
