Patent ID: 7779588

Claim:
A concrete foundation adapted to be embedded in the ground for supporting a pole thereon, comprising: a vertically disposed central section having upper and lower ends; said central section being tapered inwardly from its said lower end to its said upper end so that said lower end of said central section has a greater width than the width of said upper end of said central section; the taper of said central section creating an angularly disposed outer periphery at said lower end of said central section; a generally horizontally disposed base section having a central opening formed therein which is complimentary to said lower end of said central section so that said base portion may be positioned around said lower end of said central section; said central opening being defined by an angular wall which corresponds to said angularly disposed outer periphery at said lower end of said central section so that the angular wall of said base section engages said angularly disposed outer periphery at said lower end of said central section to resist movement of said central section with respect to said base section; said central section having a plurality of anchor bolts embedded therein which have threaded upper ends protruding from said upper end of said central section.
