Multi-Object Pole Mount Assembly With Integrated Retaining Brackets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mount assemblies for structures like poles can only accommodate one or two objects, leading to complexity and increased components when trying to couple multiple objects, which is inefficient for telecommunications networks requiring multiple transceivers.
Innovation Solution
A pole mount assembly with a mounting bracket, retaining plates, and retaining brackets that allow for the secure attachment of multiple objects using a single assembly, featuring coupling plates, retaining brackets with projections, and object brackets that can be fastened to the assembly, enabling the mounting of up to four objects on a single pole without additional structural components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple separate assemblies are used to couple multiple objects to a pole, then each object can be securely mounted, but the device complexity and component count increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate mounting assemblies into a single integrated pole mount assembly that can secure multiple objects (up to four) to a pole simultaneously. The mounting bracket includes multiple retaining brackets arranged to hold multiple objects, eliminating the need for multiple separate assemblies and reducing overall complexity while maintaining secure mounting capability
Solution Approach 2:
The pole mount assembly is designed as a universal mounting structure that can accommodate multiple different objects on a single pole. The mounting bracket with multiple retaining brackets provides multi-functional capability to hold various objects in different positions and orientations, replacing the need for multiple specialized single-object assemblies
2Reliability
If multiple separate assemblies are used to couple multiple objects to a pole, then each object can be securely mounted, but the number of components increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate assemblies into one integrated structure where a single mounting bracket contains multiple retaining brackets. This reduces the total number of components from multiple separate assemblies to one unified assembly that performs the function of mounting multiple objects securely
3Device complexity
If a single assembly is used to couple multiple objects to a pole, then complexity and component count are reduced, but the mounting structure must accommodate multiple objects simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket is designed with multiple retaining brackets that can accommodate different objects in various positions. The structure provides adaptability to hold up to four objects simultaneously while maintaining a single unified assembly design, balancing simplicity with multi-object versatility

AI summary
Pole mounts, pole mount kits, and poly mount assemblies are disclosed. Each kit and assembly includes a pole mount with a mounting bracket including a pair of coupling plates and at least one retaining plate. The pair of coupling plates is coupled to opposite ends of the at least one retaining plate. The at least one retaining plate defines a mounting area between the pair of coupling plates. The pole mount further includes at least two retaining brackets coupled to the at least one retaining plate. Each of the retaining brackets includes a base, opposing side walls extending from the base, and a front wall extending from the base and located between the opposing side walls. The base, the opposing side walls, and the front wall define a retaining area. The front wall defines a cutout region contiguous with the retaining area.
