Cable pulling machine with adjustable angle for cable installation
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12015253B2) discloses a cable pulling machine designed to efficiently install cables in midair. The machine comprises two roller portions with outer peripheries between which the cable is held, a guide to introduce the cable between the rollers at an angle between 45° and 90°, and a hook for hanging the machine on an existing aerial cable. The guide features a groove to guide the cable to the center of the roller portions, with an uneven portion for added functionality. Additionally, one of the roller portions includes recesses for the cable to fit into, ensuring secure installation.
Furthermore, the patent includes a cable installation method utilizing the cable pulling machine described in the claims. The method involves connecting a traction rope to the cable, holding the rope between the roller portions, hanging the machine on the aerial cable, and rotating the rollers to pull the cable up to a predetermined height. This innovative approach streamlines the process of installing cables in midair, offering a practical solution for various applications requiring aerial cable installation.
