Abstract

A method of installing signalization spheres on energized transmission lines. A supporting structure, consisting of two bases equidistant, parallel to each other, linked to each other by axial segments, the axial segments acting as supports for activation engines, respectively, a grounding and idler tension system including a structure formed by two parallel rods that move along the vertical direction linked to two bases equidistant and parallel to each other in its intermediate portion through an axis. In its superior extremity through an axis and presenting in its inferior extremity slots for the introduction of an axis of a wheel. A first axial segment being equipped in its intermediate portion with a threaded rod which is linked it its inferior extremity to the axial segment of the bases superiorly equipped with a crank and spring. A fork is articulated over a pivot to the external part of the bases whereto are projected the feeding system. An inclined structure consisting of two bases equidistant to each other is linked to each other by four axial segments . The latter acting as a support for the tightening and loosening tool presents in its terminal portion a coupling prism suspended internally and externally by bars respectively and equidistant to each other by the axial segments.

Claims (4)

1. A sphere for line signalization, comprising

two semi-spheres, equipped in lateral terminals with plastic projections forming a duct for receipt of a lightning rod cable, and

an upper outer surface of the sphere including an eyelet mounted at one end of a vertical shaft and interiorly linked to a support of the semi-spheres at the opposite end of the vertical shaft, said vertical shaft being connected to a walrus-type connector inside said two semi-spheres for connection of the semi-spheres to the lightning rod cable.

2. The sphere, according to claim 1 , wherein when movement of a tightening and loosening tool is made in a tightening direction, the walrus-type connector is dislocated from closing of a lateral spacing existing between the two semi-spheres and, consequently, tightening of the walrus-type connector causes attachment of the two semi-spheres on the lightning rod cable.
