Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Telephone pole support member The present invention relates to devices and methods for reinforcing utility poles and the like. This relates to the reinforcement of utility poles that have been weakened due to social deterioration or corrosion.

The present invention is described below as a rotten wooden telephone pole and a power pole.

wooden utility poles, such as utility poles and similar objects, by means of supporting elements attached to the poles; One item specifically describes repair by providing additional support around the rotten area. The scope of the invention is not so limited, and the structure may be made of any material. It was noted that it can be extended to any type of column or similar structure, even if Therefore, the term "pillar" as used herein is not limited to utility poles. For example, pillars used for foundations, towers, masts, coal pillars, mother iron, piers, etc. Other structural elements are also included within the scope.

One problem with wooden utility poles that have been in the soil for long periods of time is that the territory at the soil level In other words, rot occurs above and below the soil surface. above the corrupted realm and the remaining part of the lower pillar is in good condition, with a relatively small area near the soil level. Pillars outside the rotten area are generally healthy; pillars are only rotten in small areas. However, all the pillars are structurally weak and must be repaired or replaced. In order to overcome the relatively expensive time, labor and materials required to replace the Various attempts have been proposed to repair or renew pillars. These attempts are worth Case.

For many reasons related to the level of difficulty, length of time required to accomplish the process, etc. It wasn't always completely satisfying.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an elegant and simple support for repairing or renewing damaged columns. Problems of prior art devices and methods are overcome by providing a retaining member and method. This is an attempt to clarify at least some of these points.

Columns with weakened or damaged sections should be aligned along the longitudinal axis of the column. An elongated support member that provides additional strength by connecting to a portion of a column; Or, it should be extended to one side of the weakened part, and the supporting part should be attached to the utility pole in use. a first portion having a flange providing a means for securing the material; and failure. It is designed to extend to the other side of the weakened or weakened part, and the pole in use is The width or thickness may be reduced to facilitate entry into the supporting layer in which it is placed. a second part which is a support layer; te3 It is characterized by the fact that it maintains a close relationship with the pillar.

According to another aspect of the invention, a utility pole support suitable for being affixed to a utility pole or the like. a member is provided; the support member is an elongated support member having a first surface that conforms to a utility pole; a thin flange portion and an elongated rib portion to provide strength to the column; The flange portion is connected to the rib portion at each edge of the flange portion and the rib portion. In addition, the flange portion is provided with means for fixing the support member to the column. Ru.

In one form of the invention, the flange is curved according to the curvature of the column.

In one embodiment, the support members are disposed one on each side of the rib portion and are arranged on each side of the rib portion. It has two flange sections connected to the section. In another embodiment , the supporting member is symmetrical about a vertical axis that extends in the longitudinal direction and extends along the center line of the rib portion. It is a name. In another embodiment, the rib portion is substantially U-shaped and includes two flanges. The sections extend substantially perpendicularly from the common curved surface from which they diverge.

In another embodiment, the elongated rib portion is located at the end of the first portion in use. From the maximum dimension at the head end to the end of the second portion at the tip end in use. tapered to the smallest dimension. In another embodiment, each flange portion Tapers from the heaviest weight at the head end to the smallest midpoint of the tip.

The retaining member is preferably a nail-like member with a large groove, and the flange of the first part Parallel both sides of the second part and both sides of the second part towards their tips. Taper in one direction towards the other.

In another embodiment, one means for securing the support member to the post is directed toward the tip end. Cleats and spikes fixedly located inside the U-shaped rib portion , and the cleat is angularly tilted to interact jointly with Su Guiku. Having an oblique engagement portion, the deflection spike preferably has a correspondingly angularly inclined retainer. The supporting member moves in the direction toward the tip end when in use. Then, a corresponding diagonal movement occurs in the spike into the column, causing the support member to stick to the column. It becomes like this.

Cleats and spikes, if present, should be used at the level of the support layer. Placed below, i.e., below the soil level, the Su Mother Iku is covered from its head to its tip. Turn your elbows on◇ The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1(a) is a partial side view of a utility pole placed in the soil, showing the level of the soil. The area shows rotten parts; Figure 1(b) is a diagram similar to Figure 1(a), in which the support member is partially in contact with the column. The reeds indicate that they are pushed into the soil, FIG. 1(C) is a view similar to FIG. 1(a), in which the support member is fixed to the column and rots. Reeds indicate that the pillars around the defeated part are being reinforced, FIG. 2 is a front view of one embodiment of the support member according to the present invention; FIG. 3 is a side view of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a side view of the embodiment shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the cleat and skate arrangement for snow! predetermined orgasm It shows where it is being lowered to the position, Figure 5 is a diagram similar to Figure 4, in which the spikes are held in place by the action of the cleat. This indicates that the vehicle was driven to the FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along arrow 6-6 in FIG. 1(C), and FIG. 7 is a support portion according to the present invention. a side view of another embodiment of the material; Figure 8 is a front view of the embodiment shown in Figure 7, and Figure 9 is a front view of the embodiment shown in Figure 7. is a cross-sectional view of one shape of a means for fixing a support member to a column at υ, and Figures 10(a) to 10(d) are horizontal cross-sectional views of a series of pillars, showing the length of the pillars. Figure 3 shows the spatial relationship between the support member and the column at various distances along.

The utility poles 2 shown in the series of Figures 1(a) to 1(C) are located above soil level 6. an upper part 4 in good condition, a lower part 8 in good condition below the soil level, and It has a central part 10 (indicated by diagonal lines) located near the soil level and in a rotten state. are doing. The rot extends above and below the soil level as shown. In Figure 1(b) 1 shows a support member 12 that is juxtaposed to the column 2 and partially embedded in the soil.

The support member 12 may be bolted by any suitable means such as a bolt, a bolt, or the like. It is driven into the soil in the direction of mark A. In Figure 1 (C), the necessary Support member 12, shown driven into the soil to a depth of 6 The top of the column is fixed to the column by a plurality of suitable fasteners such as bolts 14. ing. Typically, nine fasteners are used, each requiring 6 minute (3/4 inch) bolts. However, it should be understood that any number of fixtures may be used. Furthermore, Three stainless steel shell strappings 16 keep the soil above the level. The support member is fixed to the pillar. These shellat struts Use of tap is optional.

The spike 18 shown below the soil level is 7 The movement of the cleat 20 in accordance with the movement of the support member in the direction of arrow A causes the cleat 20 to tilt into the column. driven by The support member is fixed to the upper part 4 and the lower part 8, both of which are in a healthy state. The column is then reinforced around the rotten section 10 and is therefore in service for an extended period of time. service becomes possible.

Now, in FIGS. 2 to 6, which show the support member 4 in more detail, the entire length of the support member 4 is shown. A first flange portion 22, which extends longitudinally, also extends longitudinally. is separated from a second flange portion 24 by a generally U-shaped rib portion 26. It is shown that there are These flange portions each have a head end 2 of the support member. tapered from the maximum weight at 8 to the minimum at their tip end 30. It is being Similarly, as is clear from Figure 3, the lip portion extends from the flange surface. Qualitatively projecting at right angles, from the largest dimension at the head to the smallest dimension at the tip It is tapered. This embodiment of the support member is extremely large in nature. It is a nail with miso.

The reason why the rib part has a chi for the flange is because the support member is attached to the pillar. When the members are lined up and driven into the soil, the force of the earth tightly packed around the members is the first ( c) Act in a direction that brings the support member into contact with the column as shown by arrow B in the figure, and This ensures that the seven runs of the support member are aligned substantially parallel to the column and run the entire length of the support member. This is to support the pillars.

As is clear from Figure 6, the flanges 22, 24 are attached to the column on which they are attached. Since it is curved according to the diameter, the flange follows the curvature of the column.

In use, holes 32 are provided through which suitable fasteners such as flat-headed nails, rivets, etc. can be passed. Space the flanges apart so that they are located above the soil level. are arranged. These holes may be arranged in opposing pairs within the flange (i.e. Even if one hole in one 7-run is paired with a corresponding hole in the other flange. ) Alternatively, or alternatively, the holes in the flanges on both sides may be offset from each other. More replies Slots 31 are provided at intervals between the sections, and when used, the soil can also be removed from the upper column. It also serves as a means for further tightening the support member.

The cleat 20, which is disposed inside the lip portion 26 and toward the tip end 30, It is provided so as to engage with the pike 18. Cree) 20 is Sunoya When lowering Iku 18 to pass cleat 20, the spikes click the cleat. The slant is to prevent it from being wedged in the wrong position inside the lip. It is provided with an angled upper surface 40 and a stepped lower surface 42 as shown in FIG. stepped The underside of the mushroom consists of two surfaces arranged at an internal angle of about 90° to each other. and is designed to engage the spike head 44. Spike 18 is Connect the chi 79- from the maximum weight at its head 44 to the point at the downward chit f46. The head 44 of the cleat is wedge-shaped. There are steps corresponding to the surfaces. That is, the spike heads make an external angle of about 90e' with each other. It has two surfaces arranged in such a way that the supporting member can be driven further into the soil. When you move, the bottom surface 42 is Sufu 4? It engages the head 44 of the orgasm.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 7-9, the support member 42 includes an upper portion 44 and a lower portion 4. 6. The upper portion 44, like the support member 12 described above, supports both sides of the lip 50. It includes two flanges 48 located on the sides. Pre-selection of flange 48 A hole 52 for fixing the support member to the column is provided at the position shown in FIG. like this One of the fixing methods is shown in Fig. 9, and the outer diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of the hole 52. Prepare the ferrule 54. A ferrule 54 is disposed through the hole 52 and also through the post. is received within a lappet or notch provided in the outer surface of the Bolt 58 to the pillar It passes through the drilled hole 59 and fixes the 7 errule in a predetermined position in the hole 52. , the support member is firmly fixed to the column.

The lower part 46 of the support member has a centrally located lip 6 as described in the upper part 44. It has two flanges 60 located on both sides of the flange 2. However, the flange 60 and the lip 62 are connected to the flange 48 and the lip 50 from a point about half of the total length of the support member. from the thickness or width at the center of the support member corresponding to the thickness and width of the lower part 46. The width and thickness of the support member located at the chip have been extremely reduced. ing.

In this example, the force of the support layer pushing the lower lips and seven runs pushes the support member. Hold the column firmly in the supporting layer, thereby repairing any damaged or weakened parts. In order to provide additional support to the column to eliminate the weakness caused by it, a fixing means is installed at the bottom. Not provided.

From Figure 10(a), it can be seen that when three similar column supports are used to repair a column, In some cases, these supporting members can be arranged equidistantly around the column and It will be understood that six flanges can be fixed with only three bolts. illustration In this arrangement, three holes are drilled through the pillar along the diameter of the pillar, as in The head of one bolt is engaged with one flange of one support member, and the other side of the bolt is engaged with one flange of one support member. so that the nut screwed into the end of the element engages one of the 7-runs on another member. There is.

11 When attaching a support member to a column, the support member is first buried in the soil almost to its final position. nothing. While in this position a support member made according to the embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. Then, insert the spikes into the hollow lip of the cleat 20 until the mother reaches the bottom of the cleat 20. The head 44 is then received by the lower surface 42 and the tip is positioned against the column 2. As if to raise Sufu 9 Iku. Next, while holding Su Dyke 18 on the pillar, arrow C Drive the support member further into the soil as shown in to drive the chip 46 into the column. . Once the first 9 chips are inside the column, lower the support member to its final position. If the spike is driven in the opposite direction, the spike will be driven diagonally into the pillar as shown by the arrow in Figure 5. This allows the support member to be secured to the column below the soil level. stepped bottom The surfaces direct substantially vertical downward movement of the support member laterally and downwardly of the spikes into the column. The shape is such that it converts into a combined movement.

To strengthen a single column, the dimensions of the column, its weakness.

How many similar support members can be used, depending on the circumstances such as Please understand that it is okay to Also, the dimensions and grout of the 7 rung part and the lip part. The fill is determined according to the circumstances such as the number of supporting members used, their dimensions, weight, etc. There is no problem even if you change it.

The arrangement described above is merely an example, and the above-mentioned novel features and novel features Many color combinations may be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, including all combinations of colors. It is possible to make the following changes.
