Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to line insulators made of organic material. Such an insulator comprises a bar (7) of high tensile strength, a protective sheath (8) made of an elastomer material, a plurality of fins (4) and an anchor fitting (2) at each end. In accordance with the invention, at least one inner part of the insulator is semiconductive along the whole length which separates the anchor fittings (2); this part may be constituted either by the sheath (8) itself or by the bar (7) and the bedding material in said fittings. Application, in particular, to line insulators intended for use in highly polluted zones.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
In an electric line insulator comprising a high tensile strength bar made of a composite material which comprises inorganic or organic fibers or threads bonded together by a hardening synthetic resin, anchor fittings, the ends of said bar being embedded in said anchor fittings by means of a bedding material which directly surrounds said ends, the improvement wherein: said bar is a semi-conductor bar, the ends of said bar being embedded in said anchor fittings by means of semi-conductor sealing material constituting said bedding material, and a protective sheath of an insulative elasomeric material being fixed over the entire surface of said bar except for the ends of said bar embedded within said semi-conductor sealing material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
In an electric line insulator comprising a high tensile strength bar made of a composite material which comprises inorganic or organic fibers or threads bonded together by a hardening synthetic resin, anchor fittings, the ends of said bar being embedded in said anchor fittings by means of a bedding material which directly surrounds said ends, the improvement wherein: said bar is a semi-conductor bar, the ends of said bar being embedded in said anchor fittings by means of semi-conductor sealing material constituting said bedding material, and a protective sheath of an insulative elasomeric material being fixed over the entire surface of said bar except for the ends of said bar embedded within said semi-conductor sealing material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
The electric line insulator as claimed in claim 1, wherein said semi-conductor bar is composed at least in part of conductive carbon fibers with high resistance to traction, impregnated with a resin selected from the group consisting of epoxy and polyester.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
The electric line insulator as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the semi-conductor sealing material is an insulation material charged with high structure carbon black, the high structure carbon black providing excellent electric contact between said bar and said anchor fittings.
