Two styles of Conover no-tie insulators are made based on his two patents.

The Conover Insulator.

Mr. C. E. Conover, 366 Vine street, Cincinnati, O., is the manufacturer of an insulator which practical experience has shown to possess many good qualities. The accompanying illustrations show two forms of this insulator and give a very clear idea of its construction and use. There is a groove or seat for the line wire over which groove ears project so tht by turning the wire a little it can be slipped in, and when it straightens into place it is impossible for it to get out. There is also a groove around the top of the insulator for a tie wire. The advantages claimed are: material saving in the wire, since it does not have to be looped around the insulator; and a saving in the tie wires, as they are not really necessary, at least upon every insulator.
