A Combined Pole and Lamp-post for Supporting Overhead Wires or
Cables for Electric Tramways or Railways, Telegraph, Telephone,
and other Wires or Cables.
I, ALFRED DICKINSON Civil Engineer Birmingham Road Darlaston, do hereby
leclare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
tatement:-
My invention has for its object the combination of a pole and lamp-post for
supporting wires or cables for electric tramways or railways telegraph telephone or
other wires or cables whereby in such places where wires or cables are carried
overhead and gas electric or other lamp posts may be; the number of such obstructions
in roadways streets and the like may be greatly diminished. To attain this object I
insert at a suitable height in the pole supporting overhead wires or cables used for the
purposes herein before mentioned a lamp frame of suitable strength and material to
support the continuation of the pole above and the strains produced therein by
supporting overhead wires or cables.
In order that my invention may be thoroughly understood and easily carried
into practice I have appended hereto a drawing upon which I have illustrated the
same by three figures.
Figure 1. is an elevation of the combined pole and lamp-post.
Figure 2. is an enlarged elevation of the lamp frame.
Figure 3 is a top view of the lamp-frame.
The bottom of the lamp-frame C is screwed, bolted or shrunk to or upon the
top of the lower portion of the pole marked B and in the same manner is attached
to the bottom portion of the extension of the pole above the lamp-frame marked A;
these different parts being thus put together provide a means of combining the
uses of a lamp-post and pole to support overhead wires or cables and the like as
herein before mentioned. The sides or ribs of the lamp-frame may be made of
any shape and of such strength as may be required to sustain the strains produced
therein from any reasonable cause whatsoever.

page_text: Having now particularly described and-ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is;
The combination of a pole and lamp-post for supporting overhead wires or cables
for electric tramways or railways telegraph telephone or other wires or cables
substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth and shewn upon the
drawings.
