Abstract
A light pole assembly, and a method of assembling a light pole assembly that facilitates securement of multiple light pole segments. The light pole assembly includes a first pole shaft, a second pole shaft, and a mounting connector. The mounting connector includes an internal rib extending from an internal surface of the mounting connector.
Claims20
A light pole assembly comprising:
- a first pole shaft having a first pole shaft wall and a first opening configured to receive a first fastener;
- a second pole shaft having a second pole shaft wall and a second opening configured to receive a second fastener;
- a mounting connector including a connecting wall having a first end and a second end, the connecting wall being symmetrical about a longitudinal axis, the connecting wall including a first connecting opening configured to receive the first fastener and a second connecting opening configured to receive the second fastener;
- and
- a first longitudinal rib extending from an inner surface of the mounting connector and along the longitudinal axis of the mounting connector, the first longitudinal rib extending across the first connecting opening and the second connecting opening, the first connecting opening and the second connecting opening extending through the first longitudinal rib, thereby forming a first through bore that extends from an outer surface of the connecting wall to an inner surface of the first longitudinal rib,
- wherein the first pole shaft and the second pole shaft have substantially the same cross-sectional dimensions, and the mounting connector has smaller cross-sectional dimensions at the first end and at the second end than the first pole shaft and the second pole shaft such that the first end of the mounting connector is sized to be inserted at least partially within the first pole shaft and the second end of the mounting connector is sized to be inserted at least partially within the second pole shaft.

A method for assembling a light pole assembly, the method comprising:
- providing a first pole shaft having a first pole shaft wall and a first opening configured to receive a first fastener;
- providing a second pole shaft having a second pole shaft wall and a second opening configured to receive a second fastener;
- providing a mounting connector including a connecting wall having a first end and a second end, the connecting wall being symmetrical about a longitudinal axis, the connecting wall including a first connecting opening configured to receive the first fastener and a second connecting opening configured to receive the second fastener, the mounting connector further including a first longitudinal rib extending from an inner surface of the mounting connector and along the longitudinal axis of the mounting connector, the first longitudinal rib extending across the first connecting opening and the second connecting opening, the first connecting opening and the second connecting opening extending through the first longitudinal rib, thereby forming a first through bore that extends from an outer surface of the connecting wall to an inner surface of the first longitudinal rib;
- at least partially inserting a first end of the mounting connector into an open end of the first pole shaft;
- at least partially inserting a second end of the mounting connector into an open end of the second pole shaft;
- inserting a first fastener through the first opening, through the first connecting opening, and through the first longitudinal rib;
- and
- inserting a second fastener through the second opening, through the second connecting opening, and through the first longitudinal rib.
