Abstract
Abstract A combination mounting bracket and support pipe for mounting a luminaire or the like to a vertical pole is disclosed. The combination mounting bracket and support pipe includes a curved tubular support pipe having an elongated slot in one end thereof which slips over the head of a thru-bolt extending through the vertical pole. A U-shaped clamp is welded to the support pipe above the elongated slot and secures the combination to the pole by a pair of lag screws which extend through the clamp and into the pole.
