Means And Method For Rigidly Elevating A Structure
Myron K. Gordin - Oskaloosa IA, US Jim L. Drost - Oskaloosa IA, US
Assignee:
Musco Corporation - Oskaloosa IA
International Classification:
E04C 3/34 E04H 12/00
US Classification:
527264, 5216913, 52297, 527362, 5274213, 405232, 362431, 174 45 R
Abstract:
A means and method for rigidly elevating a structure includes a base member securable in the ground and which has a portion extending above the ground. A pole section, having a bore inside a lower end, and an upper end, can be stacked upon the base means upwardly by slip fitting the pole section onto the base end and securing it in place. A flexible, easily transportable and durable system is thereby created for elevating structures.

Abstract:
A discharge lamp with offset or tilted arc tube includes a glass envelope or bulb which surrounds an arc tube. One end of the bulb has a threaded mount for securement into a lamp socket. The arc tube is supported inside the bulb in a position whereby the longitudinal axis of the arc tube is offset from the longitudinal axis of the bulb.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for increasing the amount, efficiency, and flexibility of use of light from an arc lamp. A first aspect of the invention includes an arc lamp in a lighting fixture wherein the arc tube positioned within the arc lamp has a longitudinal axis which is offset and/or tilted from the general longitudinal axis of the arc lamp. A second aspect of the invention involves methods and structures to position the arc tube of an arc lamp in a generally horizontal or vertical position irregardless of the aiming direction for the light from the arc lamp, and any related reflecting apparatus. The longitudinal axis of the arc tube can either be offset and/or tilted with respect to the longitudinal axis of the arc lamp, or they can be coaxial and the entire arc lamp can be positioned horizontally or vertically, offset and/or tilted from the aiming direction of the fixture and any attendant reflecting structure. A third aspect of the invention utilizes methods and structure to adjust the arc lamp to a desired rotational orientation with respect to a reflecting structure. A fourth aspect of the invention involves apparatus to allow desired mounting of the arc lamp to insure the desired orientation of the arc tube with respect to the arc lamp and to any mounting or reflecting structure.

International Classification:
G09F 1700
US Classification:
116173
Abstract:
A display system for displaying visually perceivable information, particularly from elevated structures such as poles. A generally rigid board shaped in the form of a pennant has visual indicia on one or more sides. The board is hingeably attached to a cross-arm which in turn is secured to a structure such as the pole. The preferred construction of the board is a structured plastic for purposes of rigidity, durability, and environmental longevity.
