Abstract
A guy guard assembly for use with a guy wire is disclosed. The assembly comprises a tubular guy guard and a clamp. The tube wall has an aperture. The clamp includes a bolt, a first plastic portion and a second plastic portion. The bolt has a head outside the tube and a threaded shaft extending from the head through the aperture. The first portion is inside the tube against the tube wall; has the bolt extending therethrough; and defines a first jaw. The second portion defines a second jaw and is threaded to the bolt. The portions have a first configuration, wherein the jaws are relatively distal to and spaced from one another to define a slot for said wire and, from the first configuration, are configurable by rotating the bolt to a second configuration, wherein the jaws are relatively proximal to one another to grip said wire.
