ABSTRACT:
A cable splicing rack has a base 1, arms 13a and 13b having slots 16, removable brackets 20 and caps 48. Four side frame members 6 pivotally connected together at their extremities with a through bolt 11 and nut 12 assembly compose the base 1. The base 1 is adaptable to the contour of the terrain. The arms 13a and 13b are pivotally connected to the base 1 so that they may be folded toward each other and become parallel to each other within a perimeter 19 of the base 1. The caps 48 are removably placeable on the arms 13a and 13b for the safety of a lineman and to prevent damage to a cable 49 undergoing splicing operations. The brackets 20 are provided with a latch 28 to secure the brackets 20 to the arms 13a and 13b. The latch 28 has a housing 29 mounted to the bracket 20, a latchkey 36 adjacent to one side of the housing 29, a latch 41 slidably engaging a channel 30 of the housing 29, a spiral spring 45 between the housing 29 and the latch 41 to bias the latchkey 36 toward the housing 29 so that the latch 41 engages the slots of the arms 13a and 13b.
