Abstract
A combined elongated terminal box and a mounting bracket is provided for pedestrian and traffic signal units for mounting traffic signals, and either one or two pedestrian signal units on an upright pole. The bracket is mounted to the pole to extend radially outwardly from the pole on one side of the longitudinal axis thereof when a signal unit is to be mounted on the pole, and to extend on both sides of the longitudinal axis of the pole when two pedestrian signal units are to be mounted on the pole. The bracket has a tubular protuberance at the distal end thereof which extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the bracket and into a mounting hole in the top edge of the signal unit to be supported by the bracket. The energizing electric wires for the unit are brought up through the interior of the pole and through a bushing into the interior of the bracket to a terminal strip which is mounted in a housing formed by the bracket. The terminal strip, in turn, is connected to electric wires extending through the tubular protuberance and into the signal unit to energize the illuminating elements therein. A similar bracket may be provided to be attached to the bottom edge of the pedestrian signal unit.
