ABSTRACT:
A bearing plate is formed of an electrically conductive material so as to act as an electrical grounding apparatus when mounted on the lower end of a utility pole. The bearing plate includes a generally circular base plate with a depending conical flange which will engage the ground. A pair of tabs are punched downwardly from the base plate so as to engage the ground and provide additional surface area for electrical grounding purposes. The bearing plate may be welded directly to the lower end of a hollow steel pole, or bolted to the bottom of a wood pole, or pole of other composition.
