Abstract: A surface-mounted base for a breakaway signpost. The base is configured as a sphere so as to present no edges that may be impacted by a vehicle and includes a sunken socket ensuring that no metal shards project above grade after a post is damaged. The base is provided with recessed slots for retaining securing bolts therein. This arrangement prevents the securing bolt heads from being contacted by the undercarriage of a vehicle or mower and plow blades of maintenance machines. The slots also allow for rotation of the base during installation ensuring correct orientation of the signpost. Reflective or florescent materials can be attached to the recesses to enhance night visibility.

Abstract: A base (110) for a support foot (100) for supporting heavy bodies on a support surface, comprising a cap (115) intended in the use to be mechanically coupled to coupling means (105) of the base to a body to be supported. The cap is made of a first material of mechanical properties such as to guarantee that the cap is able to support, remaining substantially within the limit of elastic deformability, a first significative fraction of a load received by said coupling means to the body to be supported, and has said concavity on the side that, in the use, faces the support surface. A synthetic material mass (210) is arranged in adhesion to the cap and it is adapted to substantially fill the concavity of the cap, forming a contact surface (215) with a support surface.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a mirror head assembly including a rearwardly-extending ball section, and a mirror support assembly including a tube having a larger-diameter mid-section and a smaller-diameter tapered end section. A socket on the mirror support assembly, when in the end section, captures the ball section with friction to permit angular adjustment but with enough friction to maintain a selected angular position. A spring biases the socket from the mid-section into the end section, but is compressible so that assembly is possible by pressing the ball section against the socket, causing the socket to move from the end section into the mid-section where the ball section snaps into the socket. It is conceived that the ball section and socket components can be reversed, and also that the mirror support assembly can include a two-ball mount, with a ball-and-socket connection at each end.

Abstract: The invention discloses an adjustable support apparatus for adjusting an object to a target position. The adjustable support apparatus comprises a metal member, a support member, and a magnetic member. The metal member has an inner space. The support member has a first end and a second end, and is movably disposed in the inner space of the metal member through the first end. The object is attached on the second end. The magnetic member is disposed on the support member and is adjacent to the first end. A magnetic force exists between the magnetic member and the metal member. When an external force capable of overcoming the magnetic force is applied on the object or the support member, the support member moves with respect to the metal member; and when the external force disappears, the magnetic force makes the support member stay at the target position statically.
