Claim 3
Dependent Claim
78 words
A lighting standard or pole construction, as defined in claim 1, and said stud members extending upwardly from the ground mass being threaded and having top and bottom adjustable nuts thereon, said stud bolts being arranged at the corners of a square, said base plate having openings for receiving said stud bolts and said adjustable nuts when the studs are passed through the respective openings serving to support and retain the base plate in a vertically plumb position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
A lighting standard or pole construction, as defined in claim 2, and said base plate having upstanding leveling bosses arranged at the corners of a square and adapted for receiving a level gauge in any of four directions upon the hinge plate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
79 words
A lighting standard or pole construction, as defined in claim 2, and said poles in said hinged plate for receiving said ground based studs being provided in a series of such holes circumferentially spaced from one another at equal distances apart, there being multiple holes in number any four of which may receive the outwardly extending studs of the base, whereby the pole base may be oriented and angularly adjusted upon the upwardly extending studs of the ground base.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
A lighting standard or pole construction, as defined in claim 4 and said stud receiving holes of the pole base being slightly elongated to permit slight angular adjustment of the pole base upon the upstanding studs of the ground base without removal of the pole base therefrom.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
94 words
A lighting standard or pole construction as defined in claim 1, and said hinged plates having opposing edges recessed to provide an opening therebetween, said pole base having a pole aligned with the opening of the hinge plates and said ground base having a wire cable conduit extending upwardly from the top thereof and the opening of said ground base and the hinge plates being vertically aligned when the hinge plate is secured to the stud members for vertically receiving the wires passing from the conduit and upwardly into the lighting pole and fixture.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
A lighting standard or pole construction, as defined in claim 1, and said top plate having a hub formation extending upwardly therefrom and said lighting pole and fixture threadedly connected into the upper end of said hub portion.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
72 words
A lighting standard or pole construction as defined in claim 1 and said base plate having upwardly extending opposing side portions at the oppositE sides thereof, and said hinge plates being hingedly connected to the upper ends of said side projections through piano-like hinge means, whereby the top plate may overlie the upper ends of the side portions of the base plate when attached to the hinge plates and flush connected therewith.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
84 words
A lighting standard or pole construction as defined in claim 1 and a split cover assembly for the base and pole comprising two parts having depending walls hingedly secured together to be opened laterally from one another and to be closed about the pole and the base plate, said cover parts having top portions cut away when united with the parts being closed one upon another culminating the pole, and means for detachably securing together parts assembled about the pole and the base plate.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
78 words
A lighting standard or pole construction as defined in claim 1 and a pan having its bottom mounted upon stud bolt members of the ground support means and beneath the pole base plate, said pan having its sidewall extending upwardly from its bottom and surrounding the base plate, said side wall extending upwardly to a height just below the opposing hinge plates so as not to interfere with the hinging down of the pole to a horizontal position.
