Abstract:
1. A support base for supporting a structural pole upon and spaced above an underlying support surface, the support base comprising: a footing region adapted to secure the support base to the underlying support surface; a frame extending from the footing region, for supporting the structural pole upon the underlying support surface, the frame defining an internal cavity for housing hardware that is associated with the corresponding structural pole, the frame having at least two access openings formed through lateral sides of the frame for permitting access to the internal cavity; a platform secured atop the frame, spaced apart from and opposing the footing region, the platform being adapted to secure the structural pole thereupon; at least one plate oriented within the frame internal cavity and supported by the frame for receiving and supporting the hardware that is housed within the frame internal cavity at an orientation spaced above the underlying support surface; wherein the frame is sized to receive an ornamental and protective cover thereabout for enhancing the aesthetic perspective of the base and for protecting the hardware within the frame internal cavity; and a speaker assembly including: wherein the base has an acoustical outlet region for permitting acoustical vibrations to pass therethrough; and wherein the mid-plate is adjustable in height relative to the underlying support surface.
