Abstract
A pole assembly is configured to be placed in line with a fence. The pole assembly has a sleeve(s) transversely situated therethrough. The sleeve serves as a passthrough for a horizontal rail of the fence. The pole assembly comprises an electrical channel for supplying power to a light fixture or some other device disposed at the upper end of the pole assembly. Moreover, the pole assembly can have a water path for providing water to a sprinkler to be affixed to the pole assembly at an elevated location.
Claims20
A system for optimally providing light within a fenced area, comprising:
- a fence having a horizontal fence rail;
- a light pole assembly having a cylindrical pipe with a base end and a light fixture end, said base end adapted to be mounted in the ground, said light fixture end having a gradual L-shape bend leading to a flange for mounting a light fixture far above said horizontal fence rail, said cylindrical pipe having an internal sleeve transversely situated therethrough and positioned near the longitudinal midsection of said cylindrical pipe, said internal sleeve surrounding said horizontal fence rail, thereby positioning said light pole assembly in line with said fence;
- and
- electrical path means having an electrical supply inlet situated at said base end of said cylindrical pipe, an electrical channel through the length of said cylindrical pipe, and an electrical outlet surrounded by said flange.
The system of claim wherein said gradual L-shape bend is approximately 90 degrees.
A light pole assembly for optimally providing light and water within a fenced area surrounded by a fence having a horizontal fence rail, comprising:
- a single-piece cylindrical pipe with a base end and a light fixture end, said base end adapted to be mounted in the ground, said light fixture end having a gradual L-shape bend leading to a flange for mounting a light fixture far above said horizontal fence rail, said cylindrical pipe having an internal sleeve transversely situated therethrough and positioned near the longitudinal midsection of said cylindrical pipe, said internal sleeve surrounding said horizontal fence rail, thereby positioning said light pole assembly in line with said fence;
- electrical path means having an electrical supply inlet situated at said base end of said cylindrical pipe, an electrical channel through the length of said cylindrical pipe, and an electrical outlet surrounded by said flange;
- and
- sprinkler path means having a sprinkler supply inlet situated at said base end of said cylindrical pipe, a sprinkler channel through said cylindrical pipe, and a sprinkler outlet situated along said cylindrical pipe and adapted to accept connection of a water sprinkler.
A method for constructing a light pole assembly for optimally providing light within a fenced area surrounded by a fence with a horizontal fence rail, comprising:
- bending a gradual L-shape bend in alight fixture end of a cylindrical pipe also having a base end;
- providing an internal sleeve transversely situated through said cylindrical pipe near the longitudinal midsection of said cylindrical pipe, said internal sleeve configured to accept said horizontal fence rail therethrough;
- positioning said light pole assembly in line with said fence with said horizontal fence rail passing through said internal sleeve and with said light fixture end positioned far above said horizontal fence rail;
- and
- mounting said base end in the ground.
