PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bird damage preventing device capable of easily being installed on and removed from an overhead distribution line.SOLUTION: In a bird damage preventing device 10 which is to be installed on an overhead distribution line 100 for preventing birds from perching on the overhead distribution line 100, the bird damage preventing device 10 comprises: a body part 20 having one end part 22 formed as an integrated closed end, an extension parts 24 branching from the end part 22 into two pieces and extending for a prescribed length, and the other end part 30 with open end parts, which oppose to each other, extending from the extension parts 24 for a prescribed length and a ring member 40, with the one end part 22 of the body part 20 being inserted therein, mounted to the extension parts 24, and making the overhead distribution line held between the opposing other end parts 30 by making the extension parts 24 come closer so that they become fasted. Thus, the overhead distribution line 100 is easily held by the end parts 30 caused by the fastening of the ring member 40.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】架空送配電線への設置及び撤去を容易に行うことができる鳥害防止器を提供する。【解決手段】架空送配電線100への鳥類の着線を防止するために架空送配電線100に設けられる鳥害防止器10において、一体化した閉鎖端部として形成された一端部22、一端部22から2本に分岐して所定長さ伸長する伸長部24、伸長部24から所定長さ延在して互いに対向する開放端部を有する他端部30、を有する本体部20と、本体部20の一端部22を挿通させた状態で伸長部24に装着され、伸長部24を互いに近接させて締め付けることで対向する他端部30の間で架空送配電線を挟持させるリング部材40と、を備える。これにより、リング部材40による締め付けによって他端部30で架空送配電線100を簡易に挟持する。【選択図】図1
