Cover assembly
View Patent ↗Various devices are efficiently mounted on a pole while reducing the probability of spoiling the view around the pole. A cover assembly 100 includes a plurality of covers 1 and 2 , the outer shapes of the covers being respectively shapes obtained by dividing a hollow elongated body at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction, each of the covers having an internal housing space portion; and mounting mechanisms 5 to 8 for mounting the covers on a pole 9 located to be surrounded by the inner peripheral face of each of the covers in a state in which the covers are arranged to form a hollow elongated body as a whole.
1. A cover assembly comprising:
a plurality of covers, outer shapes of the covers being respectively shapes obtained by dividing a hollow elongated body at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction, and each of the covers having an internal housing space portion; and
a mounting mechanism for mounting the covers on a pole located to be surrounded by an inner peripheral face of each of the covers in a state in which the covers are arranged to form a hollow elongated body as a whole,
wherein
the number of covers is two, and
the cover assembly further comprises a hinge portion adapted to, when the two covers are arranged so as to form the hollow elongated body as a whole, join one circumferential end of one of the covers and one circumferential end of another cover that are adjacent to each other so that a distance between another circumferential end of the one of the covers and another circumferential end of the other cover is adjustable.
2. The cover assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an antenna element is housed within the housing space portion.
3. A cover assembly comprising:
a plurality of covers, outer shapes of the covers being respectively shapes obtained by dividing a hollow elongated body at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction, and each of the covers having an internal housing space portion; and
a mounting mechanism for mounting the covers on a pole located to be surrounded by an inner peripheral face of each of the covers in a state in which the covers are arranged to form a hollow elongated body as a whole,
wherein
the number of covers is n, n being an integer not less than 3, and
the cover assembly further comprises a hinge portion adapted to, when a first cover to an n-th cover are sequentially arranged adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction so as to form the hollow elongated body as a whole, join a circumferential end of a k-th cover and a circumferential end of a (k+1)th cover that are adjacent to each other so that a distance between a circumferential end of the n-th cover and a circumferential end of the first cover that are adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction is adjustable, and
k is an integer not less than 1 and not greater than n−1.
4. The cover assembly according to claim 3 , wherein an antenna element is housed within the housing space portion.
