INsULAToR PIN Filed July 29. 1922 'ticularly pointed out in the Patented Mar. 18, 1930 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ARTHUR O. AUSTIN, F BARBERTON, OHI
O, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, TO THE OHIO BRASS COMPANY, OF MANSFIELD, OHIO, A CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY IN SULATOR PIN Application led July 29, 1922. Serial No. 578,466.
This invention relates to pins for supporting insulators on cross arms or other structures and has for its object the provision of supports of the class named which shall be economical to manufacture and install and in which the material shall be effectively distributed for mechanical strength. Other objects will appear from the following description.
The invention is exemplified in the combination and arrangement of parts shown in the accompanying drawing and described in the following specification and it is more parappended claims. In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is an elevation of one form of insulator pin embodying the present invention yWith the supporting flange in section.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view of a portion of the pin in elevation and with the flange in section showing a slightly different construction from that of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a view similar to another modification.
Where insulator pins are mounted on cross arms or other structures it is desired to support the pin without weakening its resistance to bending, especially at the point where the pin joins the supporting structure. If the pin is reduced to provide a supporting shoulder, its resistance to bending will be correspondingly diminished. In the present invention, this difliculty is obviated by providing a flange shown at in the drawing, which projects from a sleeve 11 connected to the pin 12 by threads 13. The threads 13 are preferably rolled threads so that they are formed without removing any of the stock from pin 12.
In the rolling process the stock is pressed from the grooves so that the tips of the threads have a greater diameter than that of the original bar. This appears clearly from Fig. 2 of the drawing. Threads 14 may be formed on the lower end of the pin by similar Fig. 2 showing Vinsulator may process and any suitable support 15 for an be connected at the upper end of the pin. The internal diameter of the threads in the sleeve 11 is equal to that of the original diameter of the bar 12 so that the sleeve 11 will slide freely over the unthreaded portion of the pin, but will mesh with the threads 18. In assembling the parts, the sleeve 11 may be threaded over the portion 111 and it will move freely along the portion below the threads 13. When the sleeve is properly positioned on the threads 13 it will support the pin in place on the cross arm.
If it is desired to provide a tighter connection, a portion of the upper edge of the sleeve 11 may be left unthreaded as shown at 16 in Fig. 2. After the flange is in place, the upper edge of the sleeve 11 may be forced inwardly as shown in Fig. 1 to bind tightly against the pin and thus lock the flange against further longitudinal movement. This arrangement also encloses the end of the threads concealing tlrem from view and protecting them from entrance of moisture, especially after the parts have been galvanized. This construction will also provide supplementary support for the pin where it joints the flange and where the bending moment is greatest. If the flange is placed upon the pin from above, the upper edge may be originally formed to lit the pin tightly, or the threads may continue to the top of the flange as shown in Fig. 3 so that the flattened tips of the threads in the ange will bear against the outer surface of the pin.
Where the body of the pin 12 is threaded to the base, the depth of the base along the axis of the pin may be relatively short and the pin and base still act as a unit. The upper portion of the pin may be provided with a thread to fit a separable thimble or have a surface suitable for cementing into an insulator. The pin is of small relative diameter and is free from sharp points. This gives a good striking distance between the pin and insulator, thereby developing the maximum insulation in the insulator. As the pin has the saine size of body 12 bearing against the sides of the hole as above the base when used with a Wooden cross arm, a base oinA minimum diameter may be used. This is due to the support provided by the sides of the hole in the arm. in most pins the portion through the arm is so small that it is very ivealr as a beam and must be used as a tension member.
rihe large diameter of the body 12 is an advantage, as little tension in this member is necessary to develop the maximum ultimate strength of the pin when mounted on a Wood `arni. As Wood cross arms shi-ink and loosen the tension produced by the nut attached to th threaded end 14, it will be seen that the strength will not be reduced appreciably as in the ease ot pins which develop a large portion of their ultimate strength due to a large bearing base and tension in the bolt 12. The base 10 may be made of pressed metal, forgings, castings, or any suitable material. it may have a curved base or lips for gripping the cross arm. rlhe base may be provided With teeth for preventing rotation if desired.
