DEAD END FOR LINEAR BODIES A dead end appliance for receiving and supporting a drop wire at a selected place therealong. The appliance comprises an elongated straight-extending body having reversed loops or hooks at the opposite ends thereof disposed in planes generally parallel to the body. One of the loops defines an appliance mounting loop and has a generally S-shaped configuration adapted to be received over a hook-like mounting member. The other of the loops defines a line retaining loop and has a generally U-shaped configuration. The S-shaped loop at one end of the appliance body and the U-shaped loop at the other end of the appliance body are spaced at some distance apart along the length thereof and lie in planes which are mutually perpendicular. When the appliance is mounted to a service pole or the like by means of the S-shaped mounting loop cooperating with the hook-like mounting member, and with the drop wire properly installed, the drop wire span extends from the source end of the wire to and through the generally U-shaped line retaining loop, spirally around the body toward the S-shaped appliance mounting loop, at least once around and bridging both the S-shaped loop and the body, around the body to the end thereof immediately adjacent the S-shaped loop and thence generally downward through the S-shaped loop to the terminal end forming the drop end of the wire.
