ABSTRACT:
An apparatus whereby a single user can install an overhead electrically conducting wire, between and around obstacles, such as open ceiling heating and air conditioning ducts. The apparatus has a rigid electrically nonconductive thin lightweight paddle having a closed pliable loop at one end, a lightweight vertical support pole with an upper paddle guide attached to it and a depending pull paddle attached string. A hole near one of the paddle's ends allows an upper portion of the paddle guide to engage the side of the paddle while another segment of the guide acts to vertically support the paddle. The pull string is attached to the paddle near its hole and when tension is applied, or subsequently released, causes the vertically supported paddle and its attached looped end to move up or down. At the other end of the pull string the trailing electrically conductive electrical wire to be installed overhead is attached. A leg portion of the paddle guide is used to move the paddle and its looped end to one side or the other by rotating the supporting pole. A user on the floor can thus move the overhead paddle's looped end up or down--by either the pull string or moving the pole, or both, and side ways by engaging part of the paddle guide with the paddle side as the pole is turned.
