Abstract
An illumination device having a pole mount, a light support that extends from the pole mount, a lighting unit is connected to the pole mount, and a solar panel assembly is mounted to the lighting unit. In another embodiment an illumination apparatus is provided having a pole mount and a lighting assembly, and the pole mount has hinged first clamp half and second clamp halves. When in the closed clamp position the pole mount clamp defines a pole opening. A first light support extends from the first clamp half and a light emitting assembly is supported by the first light support. In another preferred embodiment there is a band illumination device that is secured to a pole with a band, and in another preferred embodiment there is and adjustable band illumination assembly secured to a pole with bands.
Claims17
A band illumination device comprising:
- a clamp assembly that includes at least one screw band clamp having at least one band;
- the clamp assembly further includes a pole-engagement component having a base wall from which extend first and second contact walls and wherein the first contact wall defines at least one first contact wall opening and the second contact wall defines at least one second contact wall opening and wherein the band extends through the at least one first contact wall opening and the at least one second contact wall opening;
- a pole engagement mount having a pole engagement base plate and a pole engagement mount arm that extends from the pole engagement base plate and the pole engagement base plate is connected to the base wall of the pole engagement component, and wherein the pole engagement mount arm has a toothed mount arm portion having mount arm teeth and that defines a pole engagement mount arm opening;
- a branched support member having a central portion from which extend a first branch, a second branch and a third branch and wherein the first branch has a first branch distal end having a first branch engagement head that defines first branch engagement head opening and having first engagement head teeth that are meshed with the mount arm teeth and wherein the first branch engagement head is connected to the to the toothed mount arm portion with a mount arm bolt that extends through the through the pole engagement mount arm opening and the first branch engagement head opening such that the branched support member can be adjusted relative to the pole engagement mount arm prior to tightening a mount arm nut on the mount arm bolt.
An adjustable band illumination assembly comprising:
- first and second clamp assemblies;
- a first pole engagement mount having mount arm teeth joined to the first clamp assembly;
- a second identical pole engagement mount having mount arm teeth joined to the second clamp assembly;
- a light arm component having a first light arm end with a toothed light arm portion having light arm teeth that mesh with the mount arm teeth of the first pole engagement mount when the light arm component is joined to the first pole engagement mount;
- the light arm component having a second light arm end having a connecting portion that defines a connecting opening;
- a clamped lighting assembly having first and second lighting assembly lugs that define first and second lighting assembly lug openings and a lighting fastener extends though the connecting portion opening and the first and second lighting assembly lug openings to join the clamped lighting assembly and the light arm component;
- a solar arm component having a first solar arm end with a toothed solar arm portion with solar arm teeth and wherein the solar arm teeth mesh with the mount arm teeth of the second pole engagement mount when solar arm component is joined to the second pole engagement mount;
- the solar arm component has a second light arm end that has a solar arm engagement portion that has solar arm engagement teeth;
- a solar panel unit having a solar panel assembly that includes a solar panel engagement head with solar panel engagement head teeth that mesh with the solar arm engagement teeth of the solar arm engagement portion when the solar panel engagement head is joined to the solar arm component.
A spike illumination assembly comprising:
- a ground spike joined to a clamped lighting assembly;
- another ground spike joined to a solar panel unit;
- and,
- a power cord connecting the solar panel unit to clamped lighting assembly to power the clamped lighting assembly
