Abstract
A swivel base assembly for mounting an insulator to a support structure, including a base member having a pair of opposed bearing seats spaced apart from one another in alignment along a bearing axis, and a one-piece coupling member having a first end received within the pair of opposed bearing seats and a second end adapted to be coupled to the insulator. The first end defines a first pivot axis for the insulator and the second end defines a second pivot axis for the insulator, wherein the first pivot axis is substantially coincident with the bearing axis and the second pivot axis is substantially perpendicular to the first pivot axis. The assembly also includes a mechanism for securing the base member to the support structure.
