Abstract
A first device useful as a support base for utility poles, which integrates an anti-theft security system directed to prevent theft of power supply wires used in underground power distribution systems. The security system includes a dual internal conduit system for housing the wires and at least two head bolts inserted in an individual lateral straight conduit. Similarly, a second device includes a mold having an inverted T-shaped housing for the wires and a head bolt inside the upright conduit section of said inverted T-shaped housing. In both devices, the wires are moved in an angled position and secured by tightening the corresponding bolt.
Claims20
A device, useful for securing wires or cables used in power distribution systems and other utilities services, said device comprising:
- (a) an upright vertical main solid body, said body having a top surface, a lower surface and lateral surfaces;
- (b) a main security conduit system, permanently located inside of said main solid body, said main security conduit system comprising:
- a first upright conduit unit, said first upright conduit unit comprising
- a top straight section having a top end that is open at the top surface of said main solid body;
- a lower curved section having a lower end connected to a connecting unit and that is open at the left side of the main solid body;
- a first straight lateral conduit unit having a lateral end that is connected to a coupling unit with a larger diameter than the diameter of said straight lateral conduit and is open at the lateral left side of said main body, said lateral conduit unit being connected perpendicularly to and in open communication with the top straight section of the first upright conduit unit;
- a second upright conduit unit, said first upright conduit unit comprising:
- a top straight section having a top end that is open at the top surface of said main solid body;
- a lower curved section having a lower end connected to a connecting unit and that is open at the right side of the main solid body;
- a second straight lateral conduit unit having a lateral end that is connected to a coupling unit with a larger diameter than the diameter of said straight lateral conduit and is open at the lateral right side of said main body, said lateral conduit unit being connected perpendicularly to and in open communication with the top straight section of the second upright conduit unit;
- (c) a first bolt comprising:
- an elongated threaded body;
- a head section located at one of the ends of said elongated threaded body, said head section being surrounded with a plastic cover and having a centered opening in said head section;
- a first nut, a washer and a second nut inserted in the elongated threaded section of the bolt in a manner that said washer is between the first nut and the second nut;
- (d) a second bolt comprising:
- an elongated threaded body;
- a head section located at one of the ends of said elongated threaded body, said head section being surrounded with a plastic cover and having a centered opening in said head section;
- a first nut, a washer and a second nut inserted in the elongated threaded section of the bolt in a manner that said washer is between the first nut and the second nut and;
- wherein the first bolt is inserted into the first lateral conduit unit in a manner that the head section of the bolt is inside the intersection of the lateral conduit unit with the top section of the first upright conduit unit and the second bolt is inserted in the second lateral conduit unit in a manner that the head section of the said second bolt is inside the intersection of the lateral unit with the top section of the second upright conduit unit.

A device, useful for securing wires or cables of the power distribution systems, said device comprising:
- (a) a main solid body having a top surface, a bottom surface and lateral surface;
- (b) a security conduit system, permanently located inside of said main solid body, said security conduit system comprising:
- a vertical upright conduit unit having a upper end and a lower end, a coupling unit attached to said upper end having diameter larger than the diameter of said vertical conduit, said upper end being open at the top surface of said main solid body;
- a main conduit unit horizontally positioned in respect to the vertical conduit unit having a right side end and a left side end, wherein said left and right ends are attached to coupling units that are in open communication with the external left and right lateral surfaces of said main solid body, and wherein said main conduit unit is located substantially perpendicular to and in open communication with the lower end of said vertical upright conduit unit and;
- (c) a bolt comprising:
- an elongated threaded body;
- a head section located at one of the ends of said elongated threaded body, said head section being surrounded with a plastic cover and having a centered opening in said head section;
- (d) a first nut, a washer and a second nut inserted in the elongated threaded section of the bolt in a manner that said washer is between the first nut and the second nut and;
- wherein the bolt is inserted inside the upright vertical unit in a manner that the head section of said bolt is located at the intersection of the upright conduit unit with the main conduit unit while the elongated and threaded section of said bolt is located inside the upright conduit unit and wherein said upper, left and right ends allow access to the interior of the conduit system through the external surface of the main solid body.
