Mounting bracket for traffic control device

摘要

A mounting bracket assembly for supporting a traffic control device on a mast arm or pole. The bracket includes a first clamp adapted to removably attach to the mast arm or pole or other elongate support, and is designed to be positioned vertically or horizontally. A second clamp is removably attachable to pole or other elongate support member supporting the traffic control device. The second clamp includes inner and outer clamp members. The inner member has a pair of arcuate slots that are alignable with either of two pairs of bolt holes in the first clamp. Thus, the arcuate slots in the inner clamp member and the first and second pairs of bolt holes in the first clamp permit rotation of the inner clamp member 360 degrees relative to the first clamp.

1. A mounting bracket for mounting a traffic control device to a first elongate support having a longitudinal axis, the traffic control device comprising a second elongate support having a longitudinal axis, the mounting bracket comprising:
a first clamp removably attachable to the first elongate support, the first clamp comprising a front face and a rear face, wherein the rear face has a longitudinal support-receiving recess configured to receive a section of the first elongate support so that when the first clamp is attached to the first elongate support the support-receiving recess is generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first elongate support, wherein the first clamp includes a wire access opening, and wherein the first clamp includes first and second pairs of bolt holes, the first pair aligned with longitudinal axis of the rear face and the second pair perpendicular to the first pair; a second clamp removably attachable to the second elongate support, the second clamp comprising:
an inner clamp member having a longitudinal axis and comprising a front face and a rear face, wherein the front face of the inner clamp member defines two spaced apart arcuate recesses, wherein the inner clamp member includes a threaded corner bolt bore adjacent each side of each arcuate recess, wherein the rear face is configured to abut the front face of the first clamp, wherein the inner clamp defines a wire access opening and first and second arcuate slots, wherein when the rear face of the inner clamp member abuts the front face of the first clamp the wire access opening in the inner clamp member is aligned with the wire access opening in the first clamp and the first and second arcuate slots are aligned alternately with one of the pairs of bolt holes in the first clamp;an outer clamp member having a longitudinal axis and comprising a rear face, wherein the rear face of the outer clamp member defines an elongate arcuate support-receiving channel opposing the arcuate recesses in the inner clamp, wherein the outer clamp member further comprises two side members, one on each side of the elongate arcuate channel, each side member having a first and second end, wherein the outer clamp member includes a corner bolt hole in each of the first and second ends of both the side members, wherein the four corner bolt holes in the outer clamp member are alignable with the four corner bolt bores in the inner clamp member, and wherein the outer clamp member is integrally formed;wherein the front face of the inner clamp member and the rear face of the outer clamp member are configured to receive opposite sides of a section of the second elongate support longitudinally so that the longitudinal axis of the inner and outer clamp members are generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the second elongate support and being connectable to each other to attach the mounting bracket to the second elongate support so that rotation of the second elongate support relative to the second clamp is prevented; and a plurality of bolts sized to connect the inner clamp member to the first clamp.
