Traffic control marker including a reinforcing member
A traffic control assembly, which includes a reinforced mounting base selectively mountable adjacent a roadway, a primary flexible tubular member, a reinforcing member, a retaining member, and a retaining pin. In accordance with at least one embodiment, the primary flexible tubular member is coupled to the reinforcing member, where the reinforcing member is configured to provide elastic support to the primary flexible tubular member against an impact by a moving vehicle. In accordance with at least one embodiment, the primary flexible tubular member is coupled to a structural insert on the opposite end from the base, the structural insert is further coupled to a secondary flexible tubular member to increase the resiliency of the traffic control assembly against an impact by a moving vehicle.
POLE COVER ASSEMBLY FOR A STREET POLE, SIGN AND OTHER OBJECTS FOR IMPROVING VISIBILITY AND AESTHETIC APPEAL
The present invention discloses a pole cover assembly for covering a pole. The first sleeves or base sleeves, second sleeves or middle sleeves, and third sleeves or top sleeves or top cap. The pole cover assembly may also contain additional spacer sleeves. The pole cover assembly includes first sleeves, the second sleeves, and the third sleeves which come in front and rear semi-cylindrical tubes that snap together via inconspicuous tabs. Further, each of the first sleeves, the second sleeves, and the third sleeves include a series of disks that accommodate most type of poles i.e., square, round, and U-channel poles. The pole cover assembly acts as a cover for the poles and can snap around almost all types and sizes of poles. The pole cover assembly beautifies and brings visibility to any pole.
PLANTED POLE REINFORCEMENT METHODS
A method is described for reinforcing to extend the life of a planted pole, including a metal planted utility pole at risk of, or damaged by corrosion. The method comprising delivering a flowable composition into the hollow of the planted pole, the flowable composition being capable of setting in the hollow at least proximate to the groundline to form a substantially non-flowable composition when set; the set composition comprising reinforcement supports, and being attached to the pole to provide additional support for the planted pole at least proximate to the groundline.
Pole reinforcement
A utility pole is reinforced by assembling and installing a reinforcement channel assembly comprising a lower reinforcement channel driven into the ground alongside the pole, an inner splice plate supported on and against an inner surface of the lower reinforcement channel, an upper reinforcement channel supported on and against an outer surface of the inner splice plate, and an outer splice plate supported on and against respective outer surfaces of upper and lower portions of the upper and lower reinforcement channels. An outer splice plate is secured to the inner splice plate, sandwiching between them the respective upper and lower portions of the lower and upper reinforcement channels, and the upper reinforcement channel is secured to the pole.
Universal pole foundation
A pre-fabricated pole foundation provided employing a cavity to retain pole assembly of different profile, shape, size, and material interchangeably, a tapered structure onto which the pole rests, and recesses in the pole cavity wall enabling foundation hoisting, plumbing and anchoring, whereas the cavity wall is capable to accommodate for electronic devices enclosure and fill material provides structural support to an embedded pole or the embedded pole and foundation.
Adjustable tower reinforcement and stabilization attachment
The present invention provides an adjustable bolt-on brace attachment for strengthening standard field irrigation towers and tapered sections of field irrigations towers to stabilize a tower. In one aspect of the present invention, an attachment for stabilizing field irrigation towers allows the user to easily assemble the adjustable bolt-on brace in the field wherein three threaded ¾ inch rods span between the each of the three weight bearing poles of the field irrigation system. Each ¾ inch threaded rod is spanned between each pair of weight-bearing poles of a tower attaching at each pole by a galvanized steel two-sided clamp which is double bolted-on to each pole. The adjustable threaded rods may span from 15 inches to 49 inches of each of three tower faces and adjustable double sided steel clamps fit field irrigations tower legs sizes from ⅞ inch to 2½ inches diameter.
A Support Structure
Disclosed herein is an adaptor for connecting a new post structure for supporting an electrical device to an existing post structure for supporting an electrical device, the adaptor comprising one or more first engaging features arranged, in use, to engage with at least part of the existing post structure, and one or more second engaging features arranged, in use, to engage with at least part of the new post structure. Also disclosed is a connection structure for forming part of a post structure for supporting an electrical device. In addition, a lamp unit forming part of a street lamp is disclosed.
Axial Reinforcement System for Restorative Shell
An axial reinforcement system is disclosed that provides a shell (i.e., a form or jacket) that protects a weight-bearing member (e.g., a cement column) from a corrosive environment and which also substantially increases the structural capacity of the weight-bearing member. The shell is integrated with “positioners” and reinforcing elements, the combination of which offers several advantages over conventional shells. The positioner is attached directly to the shell and the positioner is, in turn, secured to a reinforcing element, which can be a reinforced steel, such as rebar, or a carbon fiber reinforced polymer material. The axial reinforcement system has been found to substantially increase the structural rigidity of the weight-bearing member, while at the same time protecting the weight-bearing member from corrosion and is also simple to install.
Pole reinforcement system
A pole reinforcement system for improving the stability of a pole with both an above-grade and below-grade installation. The pole reinforcement system generally includes a sleeve assembly which is secured around a pole via one or more retainers which may comprise brackets, securing bands, or other structures. One or more insertion attachments are utilized so that the sleeve assembly may be secured to the pole at a position below-grade. The sleeve assembly may comprise one or more sleeves which are secured around the pole. By utilizing the present invention to reinforce the pole both above- and below-grade, the stability of the pole may be greatly improved over prior reinforcement methods.
Post Holder
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.
