Abstract
A davit arm for an electrical utility pole or the like is disclosed and is adapted to support an electrical conductor or fiber optic cable on an associated electrical utility pole. The davit arm includes an elongated self-supporting body adapted to support the electrical conductor or fiber optic cable at free end thereof. A hollow support member is positioned over an opposite end of the elongated body and includes an integral, generally transversely extending supporting flange which is adapted to be attached to an associated utility pole for mounting the elongated self-supporting body in a substantially normal stand-off position relative to the utility pole. The elongated self-supporting body is positively secured within the hollow support member so as maintain the elongated body in assembled relationship thereto during use of the davit arm on an associated utility pole. Combination mechanical wedging and chemical bonding elements are interposed between the elongated self-supporting body and an inner circumferential wall of the hollow supporting member for positively securing the elongated self-supporting body and hollow support member to each other.
