Embodiment Construction

[0049] Referring to FIG. 1 , a post mounting system according to the present invention is generally indicated by the reference numeral 30 . Post mounting system 30 connects lower end 40 of post 20 to base plate 10 to provide improved structural support. The pillars 20 have a quadrilateral cross-section, are preferably metallic, and are preferably hollow. Depending on the use of the vertical member, wiring or conduits may run through the column 20 .

[0050] As shown, substrate 10 is preferably metallic, oriented generally perpendicular to posts 20 . Four lugs 12 (two not shown) are connected to base plate 10 at joints 15 . The lugs 12 are aligned in vertical alignment with the post 20 and are welded to the lower end 40 along at least a portion of the upper edge 13 . The junction 15 defines an opening in the substrate 10 in which the post 20 is disposed. Optionally, the lower end 40 may be further connected to the base plate 10 by welding along at least a portion of the low...

Abstract

A pole mounting system 30 mountable on a footing and used for supporting vertical structures. The system includes a pole 20 having a lower end 40 terminating in a lower edge 44, a base plate 10 having an opening 14, and ears 12 attached transversely to the base plate adjacent to the opening. The pole is secured within the opening in the base plate to allow the base plate to provide improved structural support. The ears are vertically aligned with the pole and are welded to the pole along their upper edges 13. The lower edge of the pole is also welded to the base plate. The ears can be integrally formed from the base plate in a process whereby, first, interconnected slots 11 are cut into the base plate such that the slots define the ears, and second, the ears are bent upward so that the ears can received the pole. No additional supports or weld pieces are necessary, so that the improved mounting system may provide sufficient support with two pieces, the pole and the base plate.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to a pole mounting system, and more particularly to the combination of pole and base, and their strength against wind forces and the like. Background of the invention [0002] Various post mounting systems have been used to secure posts and provide support against wind loads and the like. These systems have been used on lamp posts, flag poles, traffic signal posts, highway markings, telephone and power posts, and many other support posts. [0003] These columns are often very long and experience large wind loads and other stresses. A common type of post mounting system utilizes a hollow post of rectangular (eg, square) cross-section and includes a base support (or "plate") to which the lower end of the post is welded or otherwise attached. The base support generally has bolt holes through which it is connected to bolts set in the concrete, although other ground connections are of course also possible. [0004] Some post mounti...
