ABSTRACT:
A squirrel baffle assembly for mounting on a power line. The baffle assembly includes a sleeve member which has a cylindrical shell element. The cylindrical shell has a longitudinally extending opening for its entire length through which the power line may be laterally received into the sleeve. The cylindrical shell includes apertures through which electrical ties are inserted to secure the sleeve to the power line. The baffle member has an inner opening, an outer perimeter and a slot running from the inner opening to the outer perimeter. The power line is laterally received in the inner opening through the slot. Two collar members on the exterior of the sleeve define a groove in which the radial innermost portion of the baffle member is disposed. After positioning the baffle member in the groove between the collar members, the portions of the baffle adjacent the slot are overlapped and the baffle is secured to itself with electrical ties. Overlappingly securing the baffle to itself closes the inner opening about the sleeve and causes the baffle to form a generally frustoconical shape which obstructs the passage of squirrels along the power line.
