Abstract
This disclosure relates to pole bases, specifically to light pole base cabinets that can house items. The pole base cabinets can be positioned between a light pole and a footing. The pole base cabinets provide a base to a light pole while adding additional functionality. The cabinets can include a main opening allowing access to a cavity in which items can be stored. Access to the cavity can be restricted with a door that uncovers and covers the main opening. The pole base cabinets can include support panels, internal stiffening panels, external stiffening panels, support tabs, flanges, tabs, a peripheral wall, and other features to provide structural support and enclose the contents in the pole base cabinet.
Claims25
A pole base cabinet, the cabinet comprising:
- a first plate comprising a plurality of apertures configured to facilitate coupling the cabinet to a pole;
- a second plate offset from the first plate, the second plate comprising a plurality of apertures configured to facilitate coupling the cabinet to a base, wherein the cabinet is configured to be positioned between the pole and base;
- a first support panel, second support panel, and third support panel extending between and connecting to the first plate and the second plate, wherein the first support panel and the second support panel are offset from each other and the third support panel extends between and directly connects to proximate an end of the first support panel and proximate an end of the second support panel, wherein the first support panel, second support panel, and third support panel are configured to be load bearing to support the pole;
- a brace that extends between and directly connects to the first support panel and the second support panel, wherein the brace is offset from the third support panel;
- and
- a peripheral wall extending from a periphery of the first plate to a periphery of the second plate, the peripheral wall comprising a main opening that is configured to provide access into a cavity of the cabinet with the cabinet positioned between the pole and base.
A pole base cabinet, the cabinet comprising:
- a top plate comprising a plurality of apertures configured to facilitate coupling the cabinet to a pole;
- a bottom plate offset from the top plate, the bottom plate comprising a plurality of apertures configured to facilitate coupling the bottom plate to a base;
- a first support panel, second support panel, and third support panel extending between and connecting to the top plate and the bottom plate, wherein the first support panel and the second support panel are offset from each other and the third support panel extends between and directly connects to proximate an end of the first support panel and proximate an end of the second support panel, wherein the first support panel, second support panel, and third support panel are configured to be load bearing to support the pole;
- a brace that extends between and directly connects to the first support panel and the second support panel, wherein the brace is offset from the third support panel;
- a second brace that extends between and connects to the brace and the third support panel, wherein the second brace is offset from and between the first support panel and the second support panel;
- a third brace that extends between and connects to the first support panel and the second brace, wherein the third brace is offset from and between the brace and the third support panel;
- a fourth brace that extends between and connects to the second support panel and the second brace, wherein the fourth brace is offset from and between the brace and the third support panel;
- and
- a peripheral surface extending from a periphery of the top plate to a periphery of the bottom plate, the peripheral surface comprising a main opening providing access into a cavity of the cabinet with the cabinet positioned between the pole and base.
