Light pole assemblies, methods, and devices

A hand hole cover for a light pole hand hole, the hand hole cover comprising:

• a cover frame having a perimeter sized and shaped to surround the hand hole, a back side configured to abut an outer wall of a light pole, a front side spaced from the outer wall of the light pole, a wall extending between the front side and the back side, and a cover aperture extending through the wall and configured to receive a body of a lock;
• a mating plate having a front side and a back side, the mating plate positioned between the front side and the back side of the cover frame within the perimeter of the cover frame, the mating plate connected to the cover frame and comprising a loop aperture, a first lock aperture, and a second lock aperture;
• a backing bar configured to fit within a light pole, the backing bar having a first end, a second end, and a length between the first end and the second end, the length of the backing bar being greater than a height of the hand hole and greater than a width of the hand hole;
• a first fastener configured to pass through the first lock aperture, configured to connect to the backing bar at a first position along the length of the backing bar, and configured to draw the backing bar toward the mating plate in response to user input;
• a second fastener configured to pass through the second lock aperture, configured to connect to the backing bar at a second position along the length of the backing bar, and configured to draw the backing bar toward the mating plate in response to user input;
• and
• a cover plate having a front surface, a back surface, and a lock loop extending from the back surface of the cover plate, the lock loop configured to fit through the loop aperture from the front side of the mating plate, the lock loop configured to receive a shank of a lock;
• wherein the backing bar is configured to secure the cover frame against the outer wall of a light pole when the fastener is tightened to draw the backing bar toward the mating plate when the backing bar is positioned within a light pole;
• and
• wherein the cover plate is configured to inhibit access to the lock loop and mating plate when the lock loop is inserted through the loop aperture, the lock shank is inserted through the lock loop, a lock is in a locked configuration, and the cover frame is secured against the outer wall of a light pole.

A modular light pole assembly comprising:

• a pole base having:
• a pole base plate having a plurality of apertures configured to receive one or more fasteners;
• and
• a hollow pole base sleeve connected to and extending upward from the pole base plate, pole base sleeve having a cross-sectional shape parallel to the pole base plate and at least one sidewall with an inner surface and an outer surface and a hand hole through the at least one sidewall;
• and
• at least one wedge bolt configured to fit at least partially within a space between the inner surface of the at least one sidewall of the pole base sleeve and an outer surface of a hollow pole having a cross-sectional shape different from the cross-sectional shape of the hollow pole base sleeve, the at least one wedge bolt comprising:
• a wedge sleeve assembly having first end, a second end, and a length extending between the first end and the second end, wedge sleeve assembly having a plurality of wedge portions unconnected to each other wedge portion, each of the plurality of wedge portions have an internal channel through at least a portion of a length of each wedge portion;
• and
• an elongate member configured to extend through at least a portion of each of the internal channels of the plurality of wedge portions, the elongate member configured to receive user input to shorten the length of the wedge sleeve;
• wherein at least two of the wedge portions have contact ends that are configured to contact each other when the length of the wedge sleeve is shortened, each of the contact ends lying on parallel planes, the parallel planes of the contact ends being offset from the length of the wedge sleeve by a first angle greater than 0° and less than 90°;
• wherein, when the length of the wedge sleeve is shortened, the at least one of the wedge portions is configured move in a direction lateral to the length of the wedge sleeve to mate a hollow pole to the hollow pole base sleeve.
