Pole assembly

Abstract

A pole assembly for supporting at least one item, the pole assembly comprising at least one tubular column having at least two longitudinally extending external tracks integrally disposed therein. Each of the external tracks has an internal groove adjacent thereto. The at least one item supported by the pole assembly is any one of a streetlight, sign, traffic signal, pedestrian signal, security camera or banner.

1 . A pole assembly for supporting at least one item, the pole assembly comprising at least one tubular column having at least two longitudinally extending external tracks integrally disposed therein, each of said external tracks having an internal groove adjacent thereto, and at least one of said items is an arm fixedly engaged with at least one of said internal grooves to prevent the rotation thereof relative to said tubular column.  
   
   
       2 . A pole assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said arm passes through the interior of said tubular column.  
   
   
       3 . A pole assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a reinforcing sleeve is internally fitted along at least a portion of said tubular column.  
   
   
       4 . A pole assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a round tubular section telescopically extends from said column.  
   
   
       5 . A pole assembly as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said round tubular section has at least one internal track.  
   
   
       6 . A pole assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least one fluted cladding member is secured to said column by at least two circular collars.  
   
   
       7 . A pole assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a deformable clamp block is adapted to interconnect said at least one item to said column and said deformable clamp block engages with at least one of said external tracks of said column.  
   
   
       8 . A pole assembly as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said deformable clamp block is adapted to be relatively movable with respect to said column to allow an angular adjustment of said at least one item relative to the longitudinal axis of said column.  
   
   
       9 . A pole assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said pole assembly further comprises a ventilated pole cap.  
   
   
       10 . A pole assembly as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said round tubular section projects from the upper end of said column.  
   
   
       11 . A pole assembly as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said round tubular section projects from the lower end of said column.  
   
   
       12 . A pole assembly as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said round tubular section is connected to a base member.  
   
   
       13 . A pole assembly as claimed in  claim 12  wherein said base member is fully mounted within a drainage pit.  
   
   
       14 . A pole assembly as claimed in  claim 13  wherein said pit is covered by a lid and at least two jacking screws are located in said drainage pit for adjustment of the height of said lid relative to surrounding ground level.  
   
   
       15 . A pole assembly as claimed in  claim 14  wherein at least one fluted cladding member is secured to said column by at least an upper circular collar and a lower circular collar, and the bottom of said lower circular collar is seated on a ridge disposed on said lid.  
   
   
       16 . A pole assembly as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one item is any one of a streetlight, sign, traffic signal, pedestrian signal, security camera or banner.
