  • Patent number: 10745931
    Abstract: A self-rightening post system is configured to secure a post in a casing in a desired or vertical orientation and to self-righten the post upon the removal of a deflecting force, such as from a car or lawnmower. A self-rightening post system utilizes a plurality of adjustable retainer assemblies that are configured around the post and coupled to a collar. Each of the adjustable retainer assemblies has an adjustment extension with a threaded portion in the collar to change the compression of a spring extending therefrom toward the post. A post flange may be coupled to the post end of the spring to provide a planar surface for exerting a retaining force on the post. The collar is configured over a casing and configured to rotated with respect to the casing. Retainer extensions extend from the collar down along the casing to secure the collar in position.

  • Patent number: 10568449
    Abstract: A self-rightening post system is configured to secure a post in a casing in a desired or vertical orientation and to self-righten the post upon the removal of a deflecting force, such as from a car or lawnmower. A self-rightening post system utilizes a plurality of adjustable retainer assemblies that are configured between the post and the inside surface of the casing to produce a self-rightening force upon deflection of the post. The plurality of adjustable retainer assemblies may be configured around the post and/or on opposing sides of the post to ensure that the post will self-righten regardless of the direction of a deflecting force. The casing may be a tube and the self-rightening post system may allow the post to rotate within the casing thereby allowing a user to change a desired rotational orientation.

  • Patent number: 10401005
    Abstract: A self-rightening riser base self-rightens a riser coupled thereto when knocked from a desired orientation by an object. A riser coupler aperture in the riser base is oversized to allow the riser to move and deflect. A floating flange is configured an offset distance under the cap and is attached to the cap by spring bolts that extend down through the cap to the floating flange. The riser is coupled to the floating flange by a riser coupler. The spring bolt apertures in the cap are oversized to allow the spring bolts to move therein and therefore allow the floating flange and riser coupled thereto to deflect. An electrical fixture may extend through the riser coupler and through a conduit in the riser to an electrical fixture, such as a light. A grommet may be configured in the riser coupler aperture of the cap and prevent water from passing therethrough.
