Abstract

La divulgation concerne des bases de poteau, et, de façon spécifique, des coffrets de base de poteau d'éclairage qui peuvent renfermer des articles. Les coffrets de base de poteau peuvent être positionnés entre un poteau d'éclairage et un socle. Les coffrets de base de poteau procurent une base à un poteau d'éclairage tout en ajoutant une fonctionnalité supplémentaire. Les coffrets peuvent comprendre une ouverture principale permettant l'accès à une cavité dans laquelle des articles peuvent être stockés. L'accès à la cavité peut être restreint par une porte qui découvre et qui recouvre l'ouverture principale. Les coffrets de base de poteau peuvent comprendre des panneaux de support, des panneaux de raidissement internes, des panneaux de raidissement externes, des pattes de support, des brides, des languettes, une paroi périphérique, et d'autres éléments pour fournir un support structurel et renfermer le contenu dans le coffret de base de poteau.
