A plurality of conductors are surrounded by a continuous, flexible belt which is doubled over to provide loops at each end thereof. Non-metallic rods are disposed through the loops for providing surfaces to which a non-metallic buckle or strap is connected for securing the belt. The belt consists of a plurality of glass fiber cords which are surrounded by a cured elastomeric material. The cords are formed from glass fiber strands which are twisted sufficiently to provide the desired amount of belt strength and flexibility.

Electrical apparatus having conductors banded together with flexible

A winding conductor is surrounded by a continuous, flexible belt which is doubled over to provide loops at each end thereof. A non-metallic rod is disposed through the loops and through an opening in an adjacent supporting member. A wedge is inserted in the opening to move the rod and produce tension in the belt for forcing the conductor tightly in a radial direction against the supporting member. The belt consists of a plurality of glass fiber cords which are surrounded by a cured elastomeric material. The cords are formed from glass fiber strands which are twisted sufficiently to provide the desired amount of belt strength and flexibility.
