An embedded pole installation method including applying a rotational force to a leading pole and an intermediate pole. The leading pole comprises a first helical plate disposed on a first portion of the leading pole. The intermediate pole is coupled to a second portion of the leading pole and comprises a second helical plate disposed on a first portion of the intermediate pole. The diameter of the intermediate pole is greater than a diameter of the leading pole. Applying the rotational force embeds the first helical plate and the second helical plate into a foundation such that a second portion of the intermediate pole does not penetrate the foundation. The method further includes coupling a utility pole to the second portion of the intermediate pole.

Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a multi-functional streetlight. In accordance with one aspect, the multi-functional streetlight includes a hexagonal shaped support structure, wherein the hexagonal shaped support structure includes an arm segment and wherein the arm segment includes a luminaire on an under side of the arm segment; and a base flange configured to couple the hexagonal shaped support structure to the ground.

This invention relates to railings, and more particularly to post holders for hollow posts. The post holders of the present invention comprise a shaft extending from a base, and in use a post slides over the shaft of the post holder.

A uniquely configured, hardened collar nut for use in the installation and retrofitting of light poles, and method of using same.

A cylindrical two-piece pole stand assembly that automatically locks together upon insertion of a pole is disclosed which has a permanently set in-ground sleeve base formed of a length of tubing with a top end and a bottom end. A crowd control and umbrella stanchion made from a length of tubing has an outside surface with a diameter that allows for a sliding fit into or onto the sleeve. The crowd control and umbrella stanchion includes a locking mechanism for locking the crowd control and umbrella stanchion to the sleeve base. The crowd control and umbrella stanchion has a pair of upper loops welded on opposite sides of an upper portion of the crowd control and umbrella stanchion which provides a single stanchion upright which allows for the attachment of crowd control ropes or chains and also provides for the insertion of an umbrella pole to allow for an umbrella to be secured in the same location as said stanchion uprights.

An adjustable railing post-to-substrate embed system for anchoring a railing post having a railing base with plural railing base anchor holes includes: a plate, having anchor holes; a plurality of nuts, a first end of each nut being arranged proximate a respective one of the anchor holes, the first end of each nut being configured to be selectively and removably threadingly engaged, via the respective anchor hole, with one selected from the group consisting of: respective upper protective bolts, and respective bolts of the railing base; and a plurality of anchors, each being configured to adjustably threadingly engage a second end of a respective one of the nuts, distal the respective anchor hole, each of the anchors being individually adjustable in length by threadable engagement with the second end of the respective one of the nuts.

An anchor foundation mechanism includes: a vertical cylindrical tubular body formed to be inserted into the ground and having a receiving space therein; a cover part fixed to the bottom of the body by bolts and configured to be easily inserted into the ground; a support integrally formed with the top of the body and having a plurality of through-holes and an installation fixing bolt flange so as to allow the support to be fixed to a facility post after being exposed on the ground; and an anchor assembly formed in the receiving space of the body and having anchor pins for driving the body deeply into the ground and then tightly fixing the body so as to support a load and prevent rotation, and prevent forced pulling out.

A device for anchoring a pole for a beach parasol in sand or in sandy soil includes a buriable plate manufactured from a rigid or semi-rigid material, a sleeve intended to receive said pole, the sleeve being associated with said plate by means of a junction zone, the sleeve opening out on both sides. The sleeve includes a tubular inner wall connected to the outer wall by means of radial ribs. The radial ribs extend towards the inside of the tubular inner wall in order to come into contact with the wall constituting the pole. These projecting parts of ribs inside the tubular inner wall first facilitate the insertion of the pole by rotation in the tubular inner wall while flexing the projecting parts of thr ribs, and secondly increase the clamping of the pole in the sleeve through relatively high pressure exerted on the wall of the pole.

An umbrella shaft supporting stand adapted to be secured between a pair of parallel joists, wherein the joists each include parallel side surfaces which face and are spaced from each other a distance X. The supporting stand comprises a U-shaped bracket defined by a pair of wings and a central beam extending therebetween. A sleeve is secured to the bracket beam and defines a bore adapted to receive an umbrella shaft receiving tube which receives an umbrella shaft, or which directly receives an umbrella shaft. Each of the wings include parallel side surfaces that face away from and are spaced from each other a distance that matches the distance X. The bracket is secured to the joists by locating the wings between the joists with each of the wing side surfaces located adjacent to and facing a respective joist side surface and fastening the wings to the respective adjacent joist.
