shepherd's crook landscape/path light pole repair bracket

thingiverse

This is a simple bracket I designed for my father-in-law to repair the square pole of some shepherd's crook LED path/landscape lights (or any square pole with the same dimensions). Over time the two halves of the vertical square pole start to get some play in them leading to the light pole bending away from vertical at the mid-section where it's joined together with a male/male adapter. This bracket is designed to snap around the light pole joint and straighten it so it's once again straight up/down and perpendicular to the ground. The inside dimensions of the bracket brace are 12.3mm square. There is also an additional 4mm x 2mm raceway to allow space for the existing installed male/male connector joining the two halves of the pole together. This raceway also prevents the bracket from slipping down from it's installed location. No screws are required. The two halves will lock when pressed firmly together.
