It is to be noted that the devices, functions mentioned and disclosed in the present invention describe an exemplary embodiment of the multi-functional pole system 10 and further various functionalities and/or devices may be added or removed as per the requirements of the pole system.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, the rack 18 may be used to mount plurality of components including at least one battery, a battery charger, electrical connection distribution box, electrical wire connections and other electrical and electronic devices. The pole system 10 includes at least one light bulb 70, at least one display unit 72, a solar panel 74, a plurality of cameras 76, a Wi-fi router 78, a plurality of sensors 80 etc installed on its outer surface.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, each of the top 16, bottom 12 and at least one middle 14 sections are adapted to be connected with each other to form the enclosure. Each of the bottom 12, top 16 and middle sections 14 may be formed as hollow cylinders such that when connected to each other longitudinally, they form a cylindrical enclosure. The cross section of the parts may be a circle, a square, hexagonal or any shape as per the needs of the invention in other embodiments of the present invention. The dimensions and shapes of the top 16, bottom 12 and middle sections 14 are such that they can be connected to each other to form a single enclosure which is closed from all sides.

[0036] A plurality of middle portions 14 may be used to increase the height of the pole 10 and provide space for mounting for more devices and/or add more functionality to the multi-functional pole system 10 of the present invention.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, the top section 16, the middle section 14 and the bottom section 12 may be provided with flanges at its ends such that the flanges on the adjacent sections corresponds in shape and size with each other to align and connect using nuts and bolts/welding or any connecting methods known in the art. In another embodiment, the top section 16, the middle section 14 and the bottom section 12 may be provided with threads on inner and outer surfaces such that adjacent sections to connect with each other. For example if the threads are configured on the inner surface of one of the operative ends of the bottom section 12, then complementary threads are configured on the outer surface of one of the operative ends of the middle section 14 or the top section 16 such that the two sections can be joined to form the enclosure.

[0038] In other embodiment a telescopic arrangement may be used for connecting the sections. In another embodiment, sections may be removably connected to each other with the help of a snap-fit locking mechanism. In yet another embodiment, a combination of connecting methods may be used to connect different sections to form the pole system of the present invention.

[0039] Referring to FIG.2 that illustrates a schematic view of the bottom section 12 of the multi-functional pole system, according to one embodiment of the present invention. The bottom section 12 is adapted to be mounted on a concrete foundation 20 in ground 22 from one side and to be connected with the top section 16 or the middle section 14 from the other side.

[0040] Depending upon the requirement, the bottom section 12 may be formed by a plurality of parts. In one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom section 12 is made of three parts: first 24, second 26 and third part 28 which are connected to each other to form the bottom section. The first 24 and second parts 26 are hollow cylinders which have similar shape and dimension of cross section and are connected axially to form a bigger hollow cylinder. The third part 28 is of conical shape having a large diameter end and a small diameter end, such that its large diameter end dimensions and shape corresponds with the cross-sectional dimensions of the second part 26. The third part 28 is also axially connected over the first 24 and second part 26 to form the bottom section 12 with its small diameter end facing towards top of the pole system 10. It is to be noted that the third part 28 may be made similar to the first 24 and second parts 26 based on the requirements of the shape and size of the multi-functional pole system.

[0041] The bottom section 12 also includes a door 30 to provide access to a person to monitor the devices and perform any repair or maintenance operations for the pole system. Due to this, the need for dismantling the pole system 10 or dismounting any of the devices from the pole system 10 for maintenance purposes is obviated. On the contrary, in the case of conventional light poles, there is no provision to allow an access to an operator, from the interior side of the poles. Therefore, during maintenance, there is a need to either dismantle the pole or dismount a particular device therefrom. This makes the maintenance process of the conventional light poles complex, as compared to that of the light pole system of the present invention.

[0042] The door 30 of the pole system is provided with conventional lock, however in the theft prone areas, the door 30 may also be secured using an anti-theft security system.

The opening and closing of the door and its time may also be recoded and sent to a remotely located centralized server.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, the middle section 14 is made as a hollow cylinder open from both ends such it can be connected to the bottom section 12 at one end and to the top section 16 at the other end. In one embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the middle section 14 matches with the diameter of the small diameter end of the third part 28 of the bottom section. The diameter of the small diameter end of the bottom section defines the diameter of the middle section 14.

[0044] In another embodiment a plurality of middle sections 14 having same cross section and different lengths may be used to form a single bigger middle section 14. The use of multiple middle section 14 provides modularity to the multi-functional pole system 10 of the present invention. For example if the desired height of the pole system 10 is more than present, then additional middle sections 14 may be added to meet the pole height criterion. Similarly if additional device are to be mounted on the pole system 10 and the required space on the outer surface is not enough, then additional middle section 14 may be added to provide space for such devices.

[0045] The top section 16 is also a hollow cylinder open at one end and closed from the end which faces the sky. In one embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the top section 16 matches with the diameter of the middle section 14 such that they can be connected to form single enclosure of the pole system. In case when the middle section 14 is not used, the diameter of the top section 16 matches with the diameter of the small diameter end of the third part 28 of the bottom section.
