Abstract
A device for damping vibrations of an overhead conductor. The device comprises opposed weight halves, each having spherical outside surfaces. The halves are made of a relatively heavy metal material cast in a sand-casting mold. A housing structure is provided that is made from two stamped halves of lightweight metal. The lower portions of the housing halves are located and secured between the weight halves. The stamped halves resiliently secure opposed hollow elastomer damping members between a sand-cast clamp arm and opposed inside surfaces of the housing structure. Pin means wholly located within the weight halves secure the weight halves and stamped halves together, the housing structure retaining the hollow damping members between the stamped halves and clamp arm.
