.TROLLEY 'AND TELEGRAPH POLE.

Application inea August ze, 1924. serial No. 734,265.

To all wlw-m t may concern.'

Be it known that I -EAnL W. KnAUss, ecitizen of the Unite( States, residirng nt Clyde, in the county of Sandusky and'Stnte l of Ohio, have. invented-certain new und useful mproven'ients in 'lrolley und Telegraph Poles, of which the following is a specification. f

This invention relates to improvei'nents 10 irxixoles nde ted for the support'of trolley a telegrupi Wires. f j

An object-of the invention resides .in providing e pole construction of the type above mentioned, having a permanent brise adapt-- le ed to be embedded in the ground carrying anchor bolts adapted to mount n reinforced Eole construction, having a pair ot ongle. ars secured in spaced parallel relation at predetermined points throughout their length by suitable means adapted to torni stirrups to provide for theeonvenient climbl ing of the pole, und means for mounting' seid spaced bar members on seid bese including; a reinforced base mounting c-.',ury`iii; r said base our and adopted i'or removuble ottechijnent to the anchor bolt of the pole base embedded `in the ground, said parallel bars adapted to removably receive suitable cross arms for carrying the insulators to which the telegraph,I telephone, or trolley 'Wires mav be attached.

he invention also includes other objects und improvements in the details of construction und arrangement oi the parte which are more particularly pointed out in the following' description and claims, directed to Vn preferred form of construction, it loe ing understood, however, that various changes in the specific details and arrangement of parts may be made, Without depart ing from the scope und spirit of the invenl tion as described and claimed.

In the drawing, forming ai part of this application: i y

vFigure 1 is an devotional view of the 'im- .proved pole construction.

'Figure 2v is' renothorf elevational view, Ateken atvri'ght angles-,to Figure 1of said pole construction. l

Figure' 3 is a plan .view lookin. down. on top o the polev and illustrating t e manner of securing the nppercross arm thereto.

Fi ure 4 is assectlonal view, taken on` the line 117-4: of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is a, sectional view, line 5--5 ci Figure 2.

taken on the clearly illustrated i 1 indicates the pole base, preferably formed of reinforced concrete, which is .v adapted to be embedded-iii'theY ground toI provide a permanent bose, where Vit is;desired to niount or position a pole for the support oi telegraph, telephone, or trolleyV wires. A. plurality of' anchor bolts 2 are positioned in the base, undhave the threnfh' ed end portions thereof projecting upwardly from the upper end thereof, in a manner. as clearly illustrated in Figure l of the drawings to receive nuts for n purpose toV be eet forth.

A. mounting structure is indicated at 3, for the pnwl, which includes a plate 4, pros vided with a plurality of openings adapted to receive the upwardly extending ends of the anchor bolt 2, extending above the upper end of the pole base l. An upright ineinber 5 of H-section is mounted in vertical' relation on the bottom plate 4 midis secured thereto by angle plates 6, suitably riveted to' the member 5 and secured to the lates fl, through the medium of the anchor bolt 2, thereby forming the mounting struc ture -for thepole structure. to be presently described. I, l Y

'l`he`main pole structure includes si pair of angle bars 7, having one side of each mounted inspaced pnrnllel relation, and riveted, or otherwise secured to the web portion ol the member 5, While-the divergent sides of the. angle bur are arranged in-the sume pinne. und are secured to one side of the Inemberv, by riveting, or otherwise, as

n Figures l and 2, so that the ongle bers 7 are rigidly mounted` und sup .orted in u vertical iosition on' the pole rase l, throng-hi the me ium of the mounting structure. 3.- f

Spacing members 8 ure positionedbetween the udiaeent. perullel llnnges of the angle bers 7 of the pele, and are formed with openings olligned with openings 'in' said parallel flanges adapted to receive the shorterflegf of n U-sheped stirrup memloer 10, which is provided at the end of the longer leg thereof with en opstanding terminul l1, to complete the stirrup of said member, the shortenleg being threndedv ne indicated for receiving the nut 12, nda ted for securing the splicing members in p ace, and for holding the adjacent parallel flangesof the angle bars 7, in rigid. spaced relation. These stirrups and spacing mein "bers are secured throughout the length of the cross 4bars T at the proper spaced intervals, in order to provide the proper number of stlrrnps so that the pole may be easily Aclimbed, in'ord'er to Vprovide access to the cross arms thereon, supporting the telegraph, telephone, or trolley wires.

A cross hai-iis mounted in the central portion ot the height ol the pole as indicated at 13 and extends between the adjacent flanges ot the bars 7, and is secured thereto by suitable bolts 14, the ends of said bar receiving angle irons l5, which are adapted to project therefrom a suitable distance for receiving the supporting insulator for trolley wires.

V'Vhen is desired to support telegraph and telephone Wires on said pole, an angle `plate 16 is provided, adapted to be fitted against the divergingsides o'lf the angle bars 7, and has one tlange thereof formed with an opening to receive the head 17, of a holding bolt, having the shank portion i8 thereof extended between the parallel flanges et the bars 7, and receiving beyond the free edges thereof a nut l) in threaded coopcration therewith for securing Said plate through the binding action of saidy hook bolt to said. hars 7. A suitable cross arm 2O is provided with suitable openings for receiving bolts to secure the same to the angle plates 16 in the manner illustrated in Figures l and 2, and is also provided with an opening in the central portion for receiving the shank portion of the hook bolt or securing member having the hook end 17., The

insulators' itor `the telegraph or telephone Wires are mounted in the usual manner on the outer end of this cross arm *20, in the usual manner. As many ol' these cross arms may be provided on the pole, as is found de sirablefor the support ot' the required uuml ber ot telephone and telegraph wires, which may vhe positioned in the usual spaced rela tion, one above the other, on the poles.

rThis pole construction is prel'crably con str ncted ot all metal parts, in order to provide a substantially strong and lasting pole structure, which may be changed, by removing the mounting structure 3, when desired, from the base l, in order that the length or inneemt size of pole for the support olf the desired number of telephone, tolegrz'zph and trolley Wires may be provided,

From the foregoing dcscri pl ion, it will thus be seen thit a relatively simple and convenient form ot pole construetilm has been provided, Which is assembled loysuitable stirrnp bolts providing means 'whereby the pole may be readily. climbed for thensnal. purposes, and which is readily assembled thereby l'or receiving the cross arm'structures heretofore described.

lil/hat is claimed is:

l. il. pole ot the class described comprisl` ing a permanent base member adapted to be positioned for mounting the pole and carrying means whereby a pole structure may be secured thereto, a mounting structure removably secured to said bases x'nember, and a pole structure carried by said moimting structure including spaced parallel bar members rigidly secured te said mounting structure, stirrup members secured in spaced par allel relation ll'uoughont the length oi said bar members for rigidly securing said members in spaced parallel relation throughout.

their length, and cross arms reniovably se cured to said-bar members.

2. A device of the class described comprising a. base member adapted for permanent 'mounting in a desired location, a mounlinlnir structure having a ibase plate, a. vertical member mounted on said base plate, n'xeans for securing said mounting structure to said base member, a pair of angle men'ibers rig idly mounted in spaced parallel relation at one end to said mounting structure and n, the vertical member thereof, spacing means positioned at predetermined points throughout the length olf said bar members thereliel wenn,` stili-up members extending through said bar members and spacing members, and locking said bars in spaced parallel relation throughout their length, and a plurality ol cross arms removably and aduslalily secured lto said bar members.

In testimony whereof l allix my signal nre.
