Title: Harold M. Philofsky: Patented Innovations in Flexible Conductor Restraints

Introduction

Harold M. Philofsky is an inventor associated with Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Westinghouse Electric Corporation. His patent work addresses flexible belt arrangements for securing electrical conductors, including winding conductors.

Latest Patents

Philofsky’s two listed patents describe belts made from glass-fiber cords surrounded by cured elastomeric material. The cords are formed from twisted glass-fiber strands to provide strength and flexibility.

“Electrical Apparatus Having Conductors Banded Together with Flexible” describes a continuous belt doubled over to form loops at both ends. Non-metallic rods pass through the loops, providing surfaces for a non-metallic buckle or strap that secures the belt around a plurality of conductors.

“Flexible Belt Arrangement for Securing Winding Conductors” describes a belt wrapped around a winding conductor, with a non-metallic rod passing through the belt’s end loops and an opening in an adjacent supporting member. A wedge inserted into the opening moves the rod, tensions the belt, and presses the conductor radially against the support.
