INSULATOR SEPARATION METHOD, DIRECTION CONVERSION TOOL USED IN SAID METHOD, UTILITY POLE SUSPENSION DEVICE, INSULATOR SUPPORT TOOL, AND TOOL FOR FIXING TO UTILITY POLE

摘要

Provided are: an insulator separation method with which it is possible to safely separate a plurality of strain insulators arranged at different heights without changing the position of a device used in the operation; an insulator support tool used in the method; a tool for securing the insulator to a utility pole; a direction conversion tool; and an utility pole suspension device. In particular are provided: a utility pole suspension device that can easily be installed on a utility pole and can be turned in a wide range in either the horizontal direction or the height direction; and a direction conversion tool used for the utility pole suspension device. The direction conversion tool 2 comprises: a clamping part 4 that that clamps an angle member 50 used for the cross arm of the utility pole; and a turning part 10 that can turn horizontally in relation to the pinching part 4. The clamping part 4 is constituted from a horizontal-side clamping part 6 that clamps in the horizontal direction, and a vertical-side clamping part 8 that clamps in the vertical direction. The turning part 10 comprises a gripping part 14 that grips devices, and a pitch angle adjustment unit 26 with which it is possible to adjust the pitch angle of the gripping part 14.
