Abstract

An pultruded or extruded cross arm structure for a utility pole, comprising an elongated hollow structure having an outer surface and an inner portion, the inner portion comprising one or more compartments configured to receive a wire.

Claims (15)

1. A pultruded or extruded cross arm structure for a utility pole, comprising an elongated hollow structure having a length, an outer surface and an inner portion, the inner portion comprising one or more compartments configured to receive a wire, wherein each of the one or more compartments comprises a cavity inside the elongated hollow structure defined by the inner portion and one or more partitioning walls coupled to the inner portion.

2. The cross arm of claim 1 , wherein the one or more compartments extend the length of the elongated hollow structure.

3. The cross arm of claim 1 , wherein the one or more compartments further comprise a conduit located within the compartment.

4. The cross arm of claim 1 , wherein the inner portion further comprises insulating material.

5. The cross arm of claim 4 , wherein the insulating material is foam.

6. A pultruded or extruded cross arm structure for a utility pole, comprising:

a plurality of elongated hollow structures each having a length, an outer surface and an inner portion, each of the inner portions comprising one or more compartments configured to receive a wire,

wherein each of the plurality of elongated hollow structures are nested coaxially, and wherein each of the one or more compartments comprises a cavity inside the elongated hollow structure defined by the inner portion and one or more partitioning walls coupled to the inner portion.

7. The cross arm of claim 6 , wherein the one or more compartments extend the length of the elongated hollow structure.

8. The cross arm of claim 6 , wherein the one or more compartments further comprise a conduit located within the compartment.

9. The cross arm of claim 6 , wherein the inner portions further comprises insulating material.

10. The cross arm of claim 9 , wherein the insulating material is foam.

11. The cross arm of claim 6 , wherein each of the elongated hollow structures have different lengths.

12. A utility pole having a pultruded or extruded cross arm structure comprising an elongated hollow structure having a length, an outer surface and an inner portion, the inner portion comprising one or more compartments configured to receive a wire, wherein each of the one or more compartments comprises a cavity inside the elongated hollow structure defined by the inner portion and one or more partitioning walls coupled to the inner portion.

13. A utility pole having a pultruded or extruded cross arm structure comprising a plurality of elongated hollow structures each having a length, an outer surface and an inner portion, each of the inner portions comprising one or more compartments configured to receive a wire, wherein each of the plurality of elongated hollow structures are nested coaxially, and wherein each of the one or more compartments comprises a cavity inside the elongated hollow structure defined by the inner portion and one or more partitioning walls coupled to the inner portion.
