Definitions

  • the invention relates to a base for a metal post, such as a lamppost, a flag standard or columns and posts for signals, road signs or energy supply etc., hereinafter commonly called posts.
  • a metal post such as a lamppost, a flag standard or columns and posts for signals, road signs or energy supply etc., hereinafter commonly called posts.
  • Such posts are generally placed in the ground or mounted on plinths. It is known to provide a base for a post which is mounted in the ground. The post may then be fitted in or around the base as in FR-A-2536780.
  • a resin or similar material is used to bond the parts together.
  • EP-A-0067903 discloses the joining of such tubular elements of different diameters by pressing.
  • the latter-mentioned electrolytic or galvanic or electrochemical corrosion has been found to contribute to a considerable extent to deterioration through corrosive attack, especially of aluminium lampposts. It is common to place posts in the ground along a length of about 80 to 120 cm. It is customary to earth a group of posts in common or to make use of an earth wire or the common neutral wire of the electricity system in question. This means that it can happen that the electrical potential of such posts differs from the electrical potential of the ground material surrounding the bottom end of the post and electrochemical corrosion can occur as a result.
  • British Patent Specification No. 324,293 discloses a base which is intended for partial sinking in the ground, and in which a top end of the base is designed in cross sectional shape to hold the bottom end of a post concentrically and support it along part of its length.
  • the base here is of cast iron, which is possibly more resistant to normal chemical corrosion that the steel from which the post is made, but which can offer no protection at all against electrochemical or galvanic corrosion.
  • the object of the invention is then to produce a strong, yet reasonably priced base which permits a firm connection with the post, without adversely affecting the strength and rigidity of the post has a long service life and as regards corrosion is not susceptible to damage.
  • a post assembly mounted in the ground comprising a base positioned in the ground and a metal post having its bottom end engaged with the base so as to support the entire metal post, said base comprising a metal tubular member and an at least partially hollow tubular element made of electrically insulating material in a concentric arrangement, such that the tubular element protrudes above ground level and is of a shape and dimensions to engage the bottom end of said metal post, wherein said metal post, engaged with the tubular element, is not in contact with either the metal tubular member or the ground and the metal post is thereby electrically insulated from the ground.
  • the base is designed as an essentially hollow tube with an internal metal tubular member and an external tubular element of electrically insulating material.
  • the bottom end of the post can be placed over the top end of the base, thereby preventing water from penetrating into the boundary face, while no protective measures need be taken to protect the metal tubular member of the base either. It has been found in practice that corrosion of metal tubes occurs to a much lesser extent on the inside.
  • the metal tubular member forms the outside of the base and extends from the bottom along only part of the length of the insulating tubular element.
  • the two tubular elements may be joined by pressing. Use is made here of prefabricated parts which are fastened to each other by a cheap method, but form a particularly strong connection.
  • the insulating tubular element according to the invention is preferably made of a non-reinforced thermoplastic material such as a polyethylene. This means that the costs of the base, including the fitting thereof, need hardly be much greater than those for the usual treatment of the bottom end of the post, while much better protection against corrosion is ensured.
  • a method for assembling a post assembly comprising the steps of positioning the base in the ground and engaging the bottom of the metal post with the base such that the tubular element engages the bottom end of said metal post and that said metal post, when engaged therewith, is not in contact with either the metal tubular member or the ground and the metal post is thereby electrically insulated from the ground.
  • the post assembly may be provided at a location spaced from its lower end with a door opening, characterised in that the base is of such a length and design that, when mounted, it can also serve as a door opening reinforcement element.
  • a door opening characterised in that the base is of such a length and design that, when mounted, it can also serve as a door opening reinforcement element.
  • Such a design can produce a considerable saving in the total cost of, for example, lampposts.
  • the additional measures which are now necessary in such cases to produce and fit said door opening reinforcement elements can then be for the most part omitted.
  • Such a base can already be provided in advance with the necessary opening, or such an opening can be made after it is fitted.
  • the post assembly can have an internal door opening reinforcement element characterised in that the base is inserted up to the door opening reinforcing element.
  • the gap between the door reinforcement element and base metal tubular element is as small as possible.
  • Another advantage arising with the invention is the possibility of requiring only one post length for both ground and plinth mounting (for example for bridges), where different lengths and different designs of bottom ends are currently necessary for this application. This simplifies production and permits a reduction in stocks.
  • the base according to the invention can also be used for repair of posts of which the bottom end in the ground has already been damaged by corrosion. When shortened, these damaged posts can be re-used, after being provided with the base according to the invention, since following this action the strength requirements for that post are fully met.
  • connection between the tubular member and tubular element and between base and bottom end of post can also be produced in a manner other than by pressing, for example by means of adhesive etc. Press-fitting is, however, preferable.
  • the bottom end of the post in the base.
  • the metal tubular member is on the outside. In those cases the length of the metal tubular member can be limited in such a way that the whole unit finally lies below ground level, and only the plastic part projects above it, to prevent any electrical potential differences.
  • the base of the post is then generally pressed in until it reaches or passes ground level, in order to maintain the strength.
  • a protective layer can be provided additionally on the metal tubular member said layer does not, however, have to meet the otherwise very strict conditions.
  • the invention will be explained in greater detail below with reference to the drawing, in which the sole figure shows the bottom part of a lamppost in cross section, provided with a base according to the invention.
  • the bottom part of the base 1 is in the ground below ground level 2, while the top end is designed to take the lamppost 3.
  • the base 1 is provided with an electrically insulating tubular element 4 made of plastic, and preferably of polyethylene, and a metal inner tubular member 5, preferably of aluminium, both provided with a passage 6 for an underground cable to take the electricity to the lamppost.
  • a passage is, of course, not necessary in other types of post.
  • the length of base 1 pressed into the lamppost 3 is only slightly greater than the internal diameter 8 of the lamppost 3.
  • the press-in depth 7 must be substantially greater than the internal diameter of the post, and should preferably be twice the amount. Provision can be made in the lamppost 3 for an inner tube 9 which serves to reinforce the post at the site of the door opening 10.
  • the press-in depth 7 is selected in such a way that the bottom end of the door opening reinforcement tube 9 can be used as a stop. In this way, the inner tube element 5 connects directly to the door opening reinforcement tube, and there is no significant weakening.
  • the inner tube 5 also has strength and rigidity corresponding at least to those of the bottom end of the post. If, as indicated in the drawing, the lamppost 3 is positioned at a distance indicated by 11 above ground level 2, contact with any water layer (rainfall) above ground level is prevented. This distance 11 is usually between 50 and 200 mm. This also substantially reduces damage due to equipment such as motor mowers, while the extra wall thickness in the bottom area indicated by 7 of the post 3 can give much more resistance to dents in the post, as does the choice of insulating material.
