Abstract

Universal pole mounting assemblies and kits for mounting enclosures, such as electrical enclosures, to poles, such as utility poles is provided. Each pole mounting assembly includes a pair of arms, a mounting member and a pole mounting member. The pair of arms can be adjusted to fit the width of an enclosure to use existing mounting holes in the enclosure. The mounting member can be secured to the arms and can mate with the pole mounting member either after the pole mounting member is secured to a pole or before the pole mounting member is secured to a pole.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A pole mounting assembly comprising:
an arm assembly having a mounting portion for securing the arm assembly to an enclosure and an adjustable elongated alignment portion;
a mounting member having an arm connection portion and a bracket mating portion, wherein the arm connection portion can be secured to the adjustable elongated alignment portion of the arm assembly; and
a pole mounting member that can be secured to a pole, the pole mounting member having at least one cut-out for receiving the bracket mating portion of the mounting member.

2. The pole mounting assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the arm assembly comprises:
a first arm having a first mounting portion for securing the first arm to one side of an enclosure and a first elongated alignment portion; and
a second arm having a second mounting portion for securing the second arm to another side of the enclosure and a second elongated alignment portion; and
wherein the first and second elongated alignment portions include a plurality of holes for connecting the first and second elongated alignment portions to the arm connection portion of the mounting member.

3. The pole mounting assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the arm assembly is made of a metallic material.

4. The pole mounting assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting member further comprises at least one tab used to align the mounting member with the pole mounting member when the bracket mating portion of the mounting member is received by the pole mounting member.

5. The pole mounting assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting member comprises a plate.

6. The pole mounting assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting member is made of a metallic material.

7. The pole mounting assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the pole mounting member comprises a base having a plurality of openings used when securing the pole mounting member to a pole, a first wall extending from the base and a second wall extending from the base, wherein the first and second walls are substantially parallel to each other, and wherein the first and second walls are shaped to mate with poles of various perimeter dimensions.

8. The pole mounting assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the first wall includes a cut-out to receive the bracket mating portion of the mounting member.

9. The pole mounting assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the second wall includes a cut-out to receive the bracket mating portion of the mounting member.

10. A pole mounting assembly comprising:
an arm assembly comprising:
a first arm having a first mounting portion for securing the first arm to one side of an enclosure, and a first elongated alignment portion having a plurality of holes; and
a second arm having a second mounting portion for securing the second arm to another side of the enclosure, and a second elongated alignment portion having a plurality of holes;

a mounting member having an arm connection portion and a bracket mating portion, wherein the arm connection portion can be secured to the first arm using at least one of the plurality of holes in the first elongated alignment portion and to the second arm using at least one of the plurality of holes in the second elongated alignment portion; and
a pole mounting member that can be secured to a pole, the pole mounting member having at least one cut-out for receiving the bracket mating portion of the mounting member.

11. The pole mounting assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the arm assembly is made of a metallic material.

12. The pole mounting assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the mounting member further comprises at least one tab used to align the mounting member with the pole mounting member when the bracket mating portion of the mounting member is received by the pole mounting member.

13. The pole mounting assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the mounting member comprises a plate.

14. The pole mounting assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the mounting member is made of a metallic material.

15. The pole mounting assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the pole mounting member comprises a base having a plurality of openings used when securing the pole mounting member to a pole, a first wall extending from the base and a second wall extending from the base, wherein the first and second walls are substantially parallel to each other, and wherein the first and second walls are shaped to mate with poles of various perimeter dimensions.

16. The pole mounting assembly according to claim 15 , wherein the first wall includes a cut-out to receive the bracket mating portion of the mounting member.

17. The pole mounting assembly according to claim 15 , wherein the second wall includes a cut-out to receive the bracket mating portion of the mounting member.

18. A pole mounting kit comprising:
a first pole mounting assembly comprising:
an arm assembly having a mounting portion for securing the arm assembly to an enclosure and an adjustable elongated alignment portion;
a mounting member having an arm connection portion and a bracket mating portion, wherein the arm connection portion can be secured to the adjustable elongated alignment portion of the arm assembly; and
a pole mounting member that can be secured to a pole, the pole mounting member having at least one cut-out for receiving the bracket mating portion of the mounting member; and

a second pole mounting assembly comprising:
an arm assembly having a mounting portion for securing the arm assembly to an enclosure and an adjustable elongated alignment portion;
a mounting member having an arm connection portion and a bracket mating portion, wherein the arm connection portion can be secured to the adjustable elongated alignment portion of the arm assembly; and
a pole mounting member that can be secured to a pole, the pole mounting member having at least one cut-out for receiving the bracket mating portion of the mounting member.

19. The pole mounting kit according to claim 18 , wherein the arm assembly of the first pole mounting assembly and the second pole mounting assembly comprises:
a first arm having a first mounting portion for securing the first arm to one side of an enclosure and a first elongated alignment portion; and
a second arm having a second mounting portion for securing the second arm to another side of the enclosure and a second elongated alignment portion; and
wherein the first and second elongated alignment portions include a plurality of holes for connecting the first and second elongated alignment portions to the arm connection portion of the mounting member.

20. The pole mounting kit according to claim 18 , wherein the arm assembly of the first pole mounting assembly and the second pole mounting assembly is made of a metallic material.

21. The pole mounting kit according to claim 18 , wherein the mounting member of the first pole mounting assembly and the second pole mounting assembly further comprises at least one tab used to align the mounting member with the pole mounting member when the bracket mating portion of the mounting member is received by the pole mounting member.
