A pole mount cabinet for housing and supporting an article on a pole, said cabinet comprising:
- a) a housing having a rear wall and defining a chamber, said housing defining a rear opening in said rear wall;
- and
- b) a mounting and support framework adapted to be secured to the pole and including at least one support member extending horizontally, said support member extending through said rear opening and into said chamber;
- c) wherein the article can be positioned in said chamber such that it is supported by said support member.
A pole mount cabinet for housing and supporting an article on a pole, said cabinet comprising:
- a) a mounting and support framework adapted to be secured to the pole and including at least one support member;
- and
- b) a housing mounted on said framework and defining a chamber, wherein the article can be positioned in said chamber such that it is supported by and overlies said support member;
- c) wherein said housing includes a first material, said framework includes a second material and said second material has a greater yield strength and a greater modulus of elasticity than said first material.
A power supply assembly adapted to be mounted on a pole, said power supply assembly comprising:
- a) a mounting and support framework adapted to be secured to the pole and including at least one support member;
- b) a housing mounted on said framework and defining a chamber;
- and
- c) a power supply positioned in said chamber such that said power supply is supported by said support member;
- d) wherein said housing includes a first material, said framework includes a second material and said second material has a greater yield strength and a greater modulus of elasticity than said first material.
An enclosure adapted to be mounted on a pole using a pole mounting framework having a horizontally extending support member, said enclosure comprising a housing defining a chamber and including:
- a) a rear wall;
- b) a housing shelf disposed in said chamber;
- and
- c) a rear opening formed in said rear wall adapted to receive the support member;
- d) wherein said housing includes an interior pocket defined within said housing shelf and communicating with said rear opening, said pocket adapted to receive the support member such that a load on said housing shelf is borne by the support member.
A framework for supporting a housing and an article on a pole, said framework comprising:
- a) a load bearing, horizontally extending upper support member;
- b) a load bearing, horizontally extending lower support member;
- and
- c) means for securing said framework to the pole, said means for securing said framework to the pole including a pole mount bracket adapted to be secured to the pole;
- d) wherein said framework is adapted to support the housing and the article within the housing;
- e) wherein said means for securing said framework to the pole includes a platform extending forwardly from said pole mount bracket and disposed below said support member.
A framework for supporting a housing and an article on a pole, said framework comprising:
- a) a pole mount bracket adapted to be secured to the pole;
- b) a support bracket secured to said pole mount bracket and including a platform extending forwardly from said pole mount bracket;
- and
- c) a shelf bracket connected to said pole mount bracket above said platform and adapted to support the housing and the article within the housing.
A method for assembling and mounting a cabinet on a pole, said method comprising:
- a) securing a framework to the pole;
- and thereafter
- b) securing a housing to the framework;
- c) wherein the housing includes a first material, the framework includes a second material and the second material has a greater yield strength and a greater modulus of elasticity than the first material.
A method for assembling and mounting a cabinet on a pole, said method comprising:
- a) securing a pole mount bracket to the pole;
- b) securing a support bracket to the pole mount bracket such that a platform of the support bracket extends forwardly from the pole mount bracket;
- c) placing a shelf bracket on the platform, the shelf bracket including a support member extending horizontally;
- d) securing the shelf bracket to the pole mount bracket;
- and
- e) mounting a housing on the shelf bracket.
