Definitions
- the present invention relates to a support post securing system which allows for the simple installation and removal of a metal support post particularly although not exclusively for road direction signs - information signs - street furniture - pedestrian handrail - safety rails or the like.
- the support post securing system can be used wherever a member is installed to be removabley attached to another member - generally one member is a metal support post fitted to a solid secure footing the footing can be at any angle.
- a common method of installing a conventional post is to dig a hole in the ground at an installation site for the post - insert the base of the post into the hole and fill the space betweeen the post and the sides of the hole with concrete when the concrete is set the post is rigidly fixed in place
- the Support Post Securing System would allow the easy removal of the damaged post from the footing - the footing to remain in place and be reusable
- the Support Post Securing system allows the post to be removed and reinstalled in less than one minute by one man using a very simple tool Summary of I vention
- the support post securing system allows for the refeasabfy fixing of a support post to a second member being a plastic house tubing set in concrete
- the support post securing system is comprised of two sleeves being tapered from their upper end towards their lower end being secured to the support post by coiffrtersunk screws recessed in the tapered sleeves to be received into the moulded plastic post housing tube being shaped to receive sleeves fitted to the lower end of the second member a support post
- the locking ⁇ plication can be increased _j$» the post being driven downwardly to increase the friction between the sleeves fitted to the support post and the post housing tube secured such as in concrete
- Figure 2 Shows a side view of substantially identical tapered sleeves forming a tapered cylindrical sleeve approximately 300mm in length but not restricted to 300mm
- Figure 3 Shows a plan view of a pair of substantially identical sleeves
- Figure 4 Shows a side elevation of a plastic post housing tube with an internal taper substantially identical to the tapered sleeves in figure 2 the length of the post housing tube to be approximately 100m longer than the tapered sleeves igure 2 but not restricted to 100mm
- Figure 5 Shows a side elevation of a plastic cap to fit firmly into the aperture of the post housing tube
- the support post securing system comprises two substantially identical plastic sleeves 12 fitted approximately level with the base of the support post 17 in this example of the support post securing system the post 17 is round in prof ⁇ e although it may be square or rectangular or irregular inshape Particularly as shown in figures 1 -2-3- the sleeves 12 are each tapered from upper end 13 to the lower end 14 and semi circular in shape as shown in cross section fig: 3 Internal wall 15 is to be dimensioned and profiled substantially similar to wall 47 of support post 7 external wall
- Each sleeve 12 has side walls 15 and 18 the internal wall 15 of sleeve 12 is vertical from the lower end 14 of sleeve 12 to the upper end 13 of sleeve 12 the outer wall 18 of sleeve 12 is tapeTed from the upper end 13 of sleeve 12 to the lower end 14 of sleeve 12
- the taper of wall 18 of sleeve 12 from the upper end 13 of the sleeve 12 to the lower end 14 of sleeve 12 is approximately 1 degree but not restricted to 1 degree TypicaHy the sleeve 12 would be made from a plastic material such as U stabafised polypropelene or similar corrosion resistant material which wiH not corrode on contact with support post 17 or with post housing tube 16
- wall 15 of sleeve 12 is presented to wall 47 of support post 17 approximately level with base 26 of support post 17
- Tec scT ⁇ w 20 is received into tapered aperture 21 of sleeve 12 from wall 18 of sleeve 12 passing through wall 15 of sleeve 12 which is in contact with wall 47 of support post 17 and penetrating wall 47 of support post 17 to secure sleeve 12 to wall 47 of support post 17
- Tec screw 20 is received into tapered aperture 21 of second sleeve 12 from wall 18 passing through wall 15 of sleeve 12 which is in contact with wall 47 of support post 17 and penetrating wall 47 of support post 17 to secure second sleeve 12 to wall 47 of support post 17
- Post housing tube 16 shown in figure 4 is dimensioned to accept support post 17 itted with two sleeves 12
- Surface 25 of flange 22 of post housing tube 16 to have dimension from diameter 23 to perimeter 24 of 6mm but not restricted to 6mm
- the inner wall 19 of post housing tube 16 to be dimensioned and profiled to be substantially identical to wall 18 of sleeve 12
- Wall 29 of post housing tube 16 to be substantially parallel to wall 19 of post housing tube 16
- the base 26 of post housing tube 16 is blanked off at a similar thickness as the distance between walls 19 and 29 of post housing tube 16 B ase 26 of post housing tube 16 wffl have an aperture 27 moulded in in base 26 of post housing tube 16 will be dimensioned to accept a commercially available PVC piping for electrical cables
- Four verticle ribs 28 are moulded in wall 29 of post housing tube 16 and evenly dimensioned around the perimeter waH 29 of post housing tube 16 - F.ibs 28 extend from e underside 30 of flange 22 of post support tube 16 to the base 26 of post support tube 16 Ribs 28 extend to wall 29 of post support tube 16 approximately twice the distance between waH 19 and 29 of post support tube 16 and taper from the junction with waH 29 of post support tube 16 to extremity 31 of rib 28 moulded to wall of post support tube 16
- Six horizontal flanges 32 33 34 35 36 37 are moulded to wall 29 and ribs 28 fo post housing tube 16
- Support post 17 fitted with two sleeves 12 as per fitting instructions is presented into aperture 23 of post housing tube 16 set in concrete A with a downward force br gsng smiaces 18 of sleeves 12 fitted to support post 17 into contact with surface 19 of post housing tube 16 increased pressure can be imparted to surfaces 18 of sleeves 12 fixed to support post 17 and surface 19 of post housing tube 16
- a special simple leverage tool Fig 7 is used to break the friction between surfaces 18 of sleeve 12 and surface 19 of post housing tube 16 by raising sleeves 12 upper ends 13 above surface 25 of flange 22 of post housing tube 16 allowing the easy removal of support post
- a post removal tool Fig 6 is a simple leaver action compression tool to remove posts fitted with the support post securing system to be
- Ground Cap remover figure 8 for the removal of cap fig 5 installed in a ground tube fig4 when a post is not installed in the ground tube
- the cap remover fig 8 consists of a handiel dimensioned to enable a person to operate from a standing position handle 1 is welded to fulcrum 2 dimensioned to accomodate an operators foot wedge 3 fig 8 is welded to fulcrum 2 at plus 5 degrees from parallel to handle 1 wedge 3 is placed in contact with cap fig 5 installed in ground tube fig4 pressure is applied through handiel and foot pressure to fulcrum2 causing wedge 3 to penetrate cap fig 5 pressure is applied to handle 1 in a direction away from wedge 3 removing cap fig 5 from ground tube fig 4
