  • Concrete pole splice
    Patent number: 5285614
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for joining concrete pole sections. The joining or splicing device is a tapered sleeve which is cast integrally with an upper concrete pole section and placed over a lower pole section which is tapered to receive the sleeve. The wedging action of the tapered sleeve and pole and the gravity load of the upper pole section establish a tight connection between the sections sufficient to transfer loads imposed on the pole structure.
