Reinforced concrete pole with attachment mechanism

摘要

A concrete pole includes an attachment mechanism which provides a structurally sound means of attaching to the pole and permits the use of short, inexpensive bolts. It also eliminates the labor usually required for drilling or casting a hole through the pole to attach structural appurtenances to the pole with long through-bolts. The attachment mechanism includes annular members which are tied to the vertical reinforcing rods, a base plate, which is fixed to the annular members, nuts which are fixed to the base plate, and pipes, which provide a path from outside the pole, through the concrete, to the nut.
