Abstract
Apparatus for supporting an insulator or a plurality of insulators having a support means for supporting the insulators at a predetermined position and an integral spacing means integrally connected to the support means for supporting another support means to provide for stacking of a plurality of apparatus. The support means includes a base having a plurality of recesses therein for receiving a mounting portion of a typical insulator and supporting it in a predetermined position. The spacing means includes integral supports projecting upward a predetermined distance from the periphery of the base and an external peripheral wall enclosed upon itself extending upward a second predetermined distance from the periphery of the base, the first and second predetermined distances being selected to provide for adequate ventilation of the insulators. Being self-supporting the apparatus eliminates secondary support materials that are normally required.
