Kim Lighting, Inc.

Bert Tenbrummeler

A hinged base attachable to a foundation and providing hinge means whereby a lighting pole can be tilted, and readily installed, removed and replaced. The base includes a pair of hinge plates, one of which carries a hinge pin and the other of which carries a hinge clevis. The hinge clevis has a channel with a first and a second channel width. The hinge pin has a first and a second pin width. The second widths are larger than the first widths and the first and second pin widths are no larger than the respective first and second channel widths. The pole is attachable to one of the hinge plates. When the other hinge plate is attached to the foundation, the pole can be tilted, and attached or detached thereto by passing the pin through the clevis channel with the first widths aligned. The pole is then tilted upright, and the first widths are no longer aligned. The clevis and pin are thus engaged, and the pole is firmly held to the foundation.
