Abstract
A modular pole system and light fixture is disclosed wherein the modular pole system is comprised of an internal skeletal structure and an external plastic shell. The external plastic shell may slide over the assembled internal skeletal structure and may be comprised of a singular unit. The internal skeletal structure may be comprised of an upwardly extending tapered pole which is held in place by a base and post which also provides a static structure acting as a passive defense mechanism.
Claims20
A modular pole system for a lighting fixture, comprising:
- an external shell spaced from an internal skeleton structure, said internal skeleton structure having support pole fitting within a base and base post, said base post affixed to and extending upwardly from said base and surrounding a lower section of said pole, said external shell surrounding said pole, said base post and said base, said base having a plurality of upwardly extending capture prongs, said capture prongs in outward compression engagement with a lower base cover of said external shell.
A modular decorative lighting standard, comprising:
- an external shell surrounding an internal support structure, said external shell continuously extending from a lower end to an upper distal end;
- said internal support structure having an upwardly extending support pole, a base and a base post, said support pole received within said base post;
- a plurality of positioning prongs on a peripheral edge of said base and abutting against said lower end of said external shell;
- a plurality of anchor rods extending through said base and affixed thereto;
- an annular collar affixed to an upper distal end of said support pole;
- a light fixture adhered to said upper distal end of said support pole and abutting against said upper distal end of said external shell.
