Abstract:
1. A utility line support structure, comprising in combination: a first leg component and a second leg component each comprising a hollow cylindrical structure, wherein the hollow cylindrical structure includes: an external surface including a plurality of protruding components connected to a plurality of intruding components, wherein each protruding component includes two curved components for connecting the protruding component to two intruding components, an internal surface including a plurality of intruding components connected to the plurality of protruding components, wherein each intruding component includes two curved components to connect the intruding component to two protruding components, wherein the curved components includes a pre-determined radius with two outer radius portions on a protruding component and two inner radius portions on an intruding component, wherein the hollow cylindrical structure further include a pre-determined inner radius from a center point to an inner portion of the internal surface and includes a predetermined outer radius from the center point to an outer portion the extruded surface, wherein the difference between the pre-determined inner radius and the pre-determined outer radius determines a thickness of the hollow cylindrical structure, wherein the hollow cylindrical structure further includes a pre-determined length, wherein the hollow cylindrical structure further includes a plurality of longitudinal reinforcement fibers with a plurality of helical-wound layers obtained via an overwrapping transverse winding process used during a manufacturing process used to create the hollow cylindrical structure, and wherein the hollow cylindrical structure further comprises a plastic or composite material with reinforcing fibers thereby providing additional lateral and medial strength for the utility line support structure; the utility line support structure further comprising a first cross-brace component connected at a first end to the first leg component and at a second end to the second leg component wherein the first end and the second end of the first cross-brace are connected at a pre-determined angle between the first leg component and the second leg component, and wherein the first cross-brace includes the hollow cylindrical structure at a second pre-determined length; a second cross-brace component connected at a first end to the first leg component and at a second end to the second leg component, wherein the first end and the second end of the second cross-brace are connected at a pre-determined angle between the first leg component and the second leg component, and wherein the second cross-brace includes the hollow cylindrical structure at the second pre-determined length; and a cross arm component connected horizontally across the first leg component and the second leg component at a first attachment point to the first leg component and a second attachment point to the second leg component, wherein the cross arm component provides support for electric transmission components, electric sub-transmission components, electric distribution lines and support for other loads including cables or wires, wherein the cross arm component horizontally extends past the first leg component and the second leg component a pre-determined distance, and wherein the cross arm component includes the hollow cylindrical structure at a third pre-determined length.
