Definitions

  • This invention relates to a structural, multi-function pole, and more particularly to a multi-function pole suitable for selectively mounting one or more fixtures.
  • a typical street pole consists of a vertical shaft and an anchor bolt structure for comiection the shaft to the ground.
  • Accessories such as lights, traffic signals, arms, and pedestrian signs are attached using various conventional connection methods.
  • the most common connection method is to weld a plate onto a portion of the exterior surface of the shaft and to bolt the selected accessory to the plate.
