Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An emergency restoration system is disclosed. The emergency restoration system including a base and a tower pivotally connected to the base. The tower including at least one tower section and at least one insulated tower section pivotally connected to the at least one tower section, the insulated tower section including at least one insulator pivotally connected thereto.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of erecting an emergency restoration system, the emergency restoration system including a base and a tower formed of a plurality of tower sections and at least one insulating tower section, each of the plurality of tower sections being pivotally connected to an adjacent one of the plurality of tower sections and the at least one insulating tower section being pivotally connected to at least one of the plurality of tower sections such that in a stored position, the plurality of tower sections and at least one insulated tower section are stacked on the base and, in a use position, the plurality of tower sections and at least one insulated tower section form a linear, upright tower, comprising the steps of: delivering the emergency restoration system to a location where the emergency restoration system is needed; placing the base at the location; using a lifting device to unstack and move the plurality of tower sections and at least one insulated tower section into the use position to form the linear, upright tower; moving an insulator pivotally connected to the at least one insulated tower section to a use position; and stabilizing the tower in position. 2. The method according to claim 1 , further including the step of locking adjacent ones of the plurality of tower sections together in a linear arrangement as the plurality of tower sections are lifted. 3. The method according to claim 1 , further including the step of locking the at least one insulated tower section to an adjacent one of the plurality of tower sections in a linear arrangement as the at least one insulated tower section is lifted.
