发明名称 UTILITY OR METER POLE TOP REINFORCEMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS
摘要 The present invention includes a prosthetic apparatus for reinforcing a top of a rotted/deteriorating upstanding pole. The prosthetic ensleeves the pole at its uppermost end to provide an elongate support on which insulators and other various equipment can be mounted in a secure fashion. The present invention may include diametrically opposed support stringers to increase support and rigidity. An embodiment may include pole access apertures, insulator cutouts, and bolt receiving channels. The present invention provides a simplistic and inexpensive fix to preexisting rotting utility poles while also enabling a safe and efficient installation.

主权项 1. A prosthetic apparatus for reinforcing a top of an upstanding pole, comprising: a cylindrical main body having a first end, a second end, and an extent between the first and second ends, the main body further including: an inner diameter equal to an outer diameter of the upstanding pole such that said main body acts as a sleeve around said upstanding pole;an upper rim at the first end of the main body;an insulator cutout in a second end of the main body in diametrically opposed relation to a bolt receiving channel and a bolt access aperture, wherein the bolt receiving channel extends between the second end of the main body and the bolt access aperture;a first pair of diametrically opposed apertures formed in the main body near the first end of the main body, wherein the first pair of diametrically opposed apertures are adapted to receive an insulator through bolt for securing an insulator to the main body;a second pair of diametrically opposed apertures formed in the main body near the first end of the main body, wherein the second pair of diametrically opposed apertures are perpendicular with respect to the first pair of diametrically opposed apertures and the second pair of diametrically opposed apertures are adapted to receive a support through bolt for securing the main body to the upstanding pole; anda third pair of diametrically opposed apertures formed in the main body near the second end of the main body, wherein the third pair of diametrically opposed apertures are perpendicular with respect to the first pair of diametrically opposed apertures and the third pair of diametrically opposed apertures are adapted to receive a support through bolt for securing the main body to the upstanding pole.
