DEFINITION

Classification: 174/163

(under subclass 158) Devices having means embracing or clamping the insulator, or its support, or both. Said means may include, for example, (1) a sleeve, ring, socket, cap, or other element which receives or encircles the insulator, or (2) a clamp for engaging the insulator and/or a cross-arm or other support, or (3) insulators having flanges thereon for straddling a cross-arm or other support.

(1) Note. For similar devices in which the insulator embracing or clamping element also embraces the conductors, see this class, subclasses 154 and 155.

(2) Note. Insulators having integrally projecting stems for insertion in a cross-arm, wall, or similar support have been placed in this class, subclass 164.

(3) Note. For the support embracing or clamping features, continue the search in class 248, Supports, subclasses 65 and indented subclasses and 200 and indented subclasses, particularly subclasses 72, 214, 218.4, 220.21, 226.11, and 309.1 and indented subclasses.
