Publication number: 20250001722Abstract: A utility pole assembly includes a utility pole having an inner core, and further includes a laminate structure surrounding the inner core. The laminate structure includes a reinforcing structure having fiber reinforcement, an outer layer surrounding the reinforcing structure, and a resin at least partially mixed with the reinforcing structure and the outer layer. The resin is resistant to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. A concentration of the resin in the outer layer is greater than a concentration of the resin in the reinforcing structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: January 2, 2025Inventors: Shawn VAN HOEK-PATTERSON, Mingzong ZHANG, Joel TENNISON, Mark FORGET, Scott T.

Patent number: 12024913Abstract: A method of modular pole construction an elongate modular pole structure is disclosed. A first step of the method involves providing hollow pole section modules, each module having an elongated structure with a base end and an opposed tip end. The modules are stacked to form an elongated modular pole structure of a selected length by mating the tip end of a base module with the base end of an additional module. One or more than one of the modules forming the elongated modular pole structure comprise a composite material having fire resistant properties.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2021Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: RS Technolgies Inc.Inventors: Howard Elliott, Phil Lockwood, David Chambers, Mark Forget, Mingzong Zhang, Shawn Van Hoek-Patterson

Publication number: 20240165908Abstract: There is described a composite structure. The composite structure has an inner core comprising foam. The composite structure further includes an outer shell surrounding the inner core and comprising a mixture of fiber reinforcement, such as fiberglass, and a resin. The resin is resistant to ultraviolet radiation. The composite structure may be used in a crossarm or a brace of a utility pole.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Shawn VAN HOEK-PATTERSON, Mingzong ZHANG, Joel TENNISON, Mark FORGET, Scott T.

Patent number: 11541257Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pole shield for extending around a pole structure. The pole shield comprises one or more than one sheet of composite material forming a hollow structure having an open first end and an opposed open second end. The sheet or sheets of composite material comprise from about 50% to about 80% by weight of a reinforcement impregnated with about 20% to about 50% of a polyurethane resin composition comprising a combination of a polyol component and a polyisocyanate component. Two or more pole shields may be stacked one on top of the other to form a pole shield structure which extends the height of protection of the pole structure. The pole shield can be used for protecting a pole structure from damage, such as from fire, rain, wind, sand, ice, pests, moisture or electrical. The pole shield may also be used to provide structural support to a pole structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2022Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: RS Technologies Inc.Inventors: Shawn Van Hoek-Patterson, Mingzong Zhang, Howard Elliott, Mark Forget
