Abstract:
1. An apparatus for supporting at least one utility cable for spanning above ground in elevated relation thereto between adjacent supports, the adjacent supports being spaced apart across the ground, the apparatus comprising: a centrifugally cast prestressed concrete pole, the concrete pole having a bottom end portion to be fixed in the ground, the concrete pole having a top end portion spaced from the bottom end portion, when the bottom end portion is fixed in the ground the top end portion being spaced above the ground in fixed relation thereto, a structural adapter configured for engagement in fixed structural relationship with the top end portion, when engaged with the top end portion the structural adapter being supported by the top end portion in spaced relation to the ground; and a plurality of cable support structures configured for engagement in fixed structural relationship with the structural adapter, when engaged with the structural adapter the plurality of cable support structures being supported by the structural adapter in relation to the top end portion, the plurality of cable support structures proximal the structural adapter being configured for engagement in fixed structural relationship with the structural adapter, the plurality of cable support structures having four distal portions spaced apart from the structural adapter, the distal portions configured to support the at least one utility cable to span therefrom, each of the plurality of cable support structures including an open lattice frame defined by a plurality of intersecting elongated frame members, the open lattice frame configured to support the distal portions in fixed relation to the structural adapter,
