ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pole assembly that can be used as a lamp post, fence pole, utility pole or the like.
Many different types of poles or posts are known in the prior art. For example, one such earlier pole assembly was made from a material designed to absorb impacts. In another earlier invention related invention, a shock absorbing guard is placed around a basketball goal post.
Another prior art invention discloses a tubular plastic shell with an overlapping longitudinal seam which allows the shell to be placed around a vertical pole.
Still another patent discloses a cuff which is placed around objects to prevent damage from lawn equipment.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
Pole assembly or post assemblies, the terms pole(s) or post(s) are used interchangeability herein, have been disclosed in a great variety of different designs and configurations. Some have been designed for specific purposes. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,141,655 to Platt which was made from material to absorb impacts.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,181,849 to Mitchell discloses a shock absorbing guard that is placed around a basketball goal post.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,244,156 to Wafts, Jr. discloses a tubular plastic shell with an overlapping longitudinal seam which allows the shell to be placed around a vertical pole.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,503,371 to Bies discloses a cuff which is placed around objects to prevent damage from lawn equipment.
In the present invention a pole is constructed with an inner tube and an outer tube with cross hatched support tubes connecting the inner and outer tubes all as will be detailed in the specification that follows hereafter.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a pole having an inner and an outer pole which are interconnected by support tubes.
It is the primary object of the present invention to provide for an improved pole that is durable, strong and easier to repair than existing poles when subjected to destructive forces.
Another object is to provide for such a pole wherein when used for a utility pole, drivers who impact them would be subject to decreased injuries by reducing the impact shock.
A further object is to provide for such a pole which when used as a utility pole would permit wires or other utility lines to extend through the interior of the pole to be protected from the elements.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to readers from a consideration of the ensuing description and the accompanying drawings.
