ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A vibration damper is provided comprising a resilient messenger cable having a clamp intermediate its ends for securing it to a conductor. The cable has a weight secured at each end so that the centre of gravity of each of the weights is disposed away from the axis of the cable. Each of the weights comprises an enlarged head portion attached to the ends of the cable, a connector arm extending from the head portion in a direction away from the messenger cable and generally inward toward all intermediate posi- tion, and a further mass supported at the distal end of the arm, the fur- ther mass being smaller in size and weight than the head portion. Pre- ferably, the weights comprise a generally spherical, substantially solid, head portion adapted for attachment to the messenger cable, and an arm por- tion extending from the head portion to a further, generally spherical, smal- ler mass located at the distal end of the arm portion, the arm portion form- ing an acute angle with the messenger cable when the damper weight is attached thereto and especially where the concentrated spaced masses are smoothly contoured in transition from the held portion to the smaller mass. The size and placement of the further mass produces substantial local flex- ing of the messenger cable adjacent the innermost point of contact of the cable with the weight when the weight oscillates about its centre of gravity. This allows the damper to operate with an improved frequency response curve.
