Definitions

  • the invention relates to a post for articles such as parasols, road signs, advertizing signs, or rotary clothes driers, with a top part for holding a shaft of the article and a bottom part facing the ground.
  • These posts can consist of the most varied materials, one important prerequisite being more or less heavy weight, depending on the required stability. There are therefore those which consist for example of concrete and with the greater weight can only be transported with difficulty. There are also those which can be filled with sand or water, and these posts can be transported more easily after they are emptied.
  • One major disadvantage of all these posts is however that when not in use they are simply left standing, by which they constitute an accident or injury risk, since individuals can trip over them or bump into them, or they must be transported away and if necessary returned again to the utilization site; however for heavy posts this is laborious or for posts which can be emptied it is impractical or associated with high labor input. Inserting or installing pipes in the ground, into which the shaft of the article can be inserted, is also known. These pipes must however have a greater diameter than the shaft and are therefore unattractive.
  • the object of the invention is to make available a generic post which with high stability can be easily mounted and dismounted and which has a low weight.
  • a generic post for achieving this object is characterized by a central connecting element which is located in the area of the bottom part and which can be positively joined to a mount which is anchored securely in the ground.
  • the post as claimed in the invention since it is securely anchored to the ground, can be made relatively light since it does not achieve its stability by a heavy weight. After it has been separated from its mount which is anchored in the ground, no disruptive parts remain since the mount can be sunk entirely into the ground.
  • the central connecting element is a screw and the mount is an anchor.
  • other connections such as a screw thread-quick release coupling, bayonet-like connections or snap connections can also be used.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a post as claimed in the invention in a exploded view
  • FIG. 2 shows the post from FIG. 1 in the assembled state
  • FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of a post as claimed in the invention in an exploded view
  • FIG. 4 shows the post from FIG. 3 in the assembled state
  • FIG. 5 shows the mounting means in an overhead view
  • FIG. 6 shows the mounting means in a section along line VI-VI in FIG. 5 .
  • FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a post as claimed in the invention which consists essentially of a top part 1 in the form of a pipe and a bottom part 2 in the form of a disk which is welded to the pipe 1 .
  • a disk 2 instead of a disk 2 however also other forms of the bottom part are conceivable, for example star-like feet or supports which are attached, not to the lower end of the pipe 1 , but somewhat higher, and project obliquely down.
  • a screw 3 is attached, as is shown in FIG. 2 .
  • a holding part 4 which consists of a receiving part 5 and a fixing part 6 .
  • the receiving part 5 is attached to the bottom end of the pipe 1 , for example welded or cemented to it.
  • the screw 3 is inserted from overhead through the receiving part 5 , the screw head 8 being held torsionally strong in a recess 9 in the receiving part 5 .
  • the fixing part 6 is screwed via screws 7 to the receiving part 5 . Cementing is also possible.
  • the fixing part 6 On its top the fixing part 6 furthermore has a centering opening 10 .
  • the shaft of a parasol, a road sign, an advertizing sign, a rotary clothes drier or the like can be inserted into the pipe 1 , the shaft, if it has a tip on its lower end, being centered in the centering opening 10 .
  • a known clamp-screw sleeve is used, with which an inserted shaft can be centered and clamped by turning.
  • connection to the ground takes place such that for example an anchor 11 of high-quality steel or aluminum is inserted into a prepared hole in the ground, for example asphalt or concrete, and is cemented there such that its top edge 12 is flush with the surface 14 , or it is located slightly under the surface 14 .
  • the post can then be screwed with its screw 3 into the mount 11 until the plate 2 rests securely on the ground.
  • the diameter of the plate 2 and the radial distance from the feet of the post which form the bottom part, from the central connecting element which is formed by the screw 3 can be of different magnitude.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show one embodiment of a post as claimed in the invention which largely corresponds to the embodiment from FIGS. 1 and 2 .
  • the major difference lies in the execution of the bottom part in the form of a ground plate 2 ′ and the fastening of the central connecting element in the form of a screw 3 ′.
  • the embodiment as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is a simplified embodiment since the screw 3 ′ is screwed into a threaded hole 13 in the ground plate 2 ′, by which the production cost of the post as claimed in the invention can be reduced.
  • the screw can be secured against turning for example by cementing.
  • the anchoring of the post as claimed in the invention to the ground can be further simplified by using screw thread-quick release couplings, bayonet-like connections or snap-rotary connections instead of a conventional screw 3 , 3 ′ which must be screwed into the anchor 11 , 11 ′.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 show an elastic layer 15 on the bottom of the plate 2 which for example can be a rubber plate which is cemented to the bottom of the ground plate 2 .
  • the rubber plate 15 preferably tightly adjoins the screw 3 , 3 ′ and is used to equalize ground unevenness and to prevent friction of the bottom of the ground plate 2 on the surface 14 of the ground, for example tiles or paving stones.
  • the mount 11 , 11 ′ for example a screw-in anchor, must be anchored securely in the ground 14 . This can take place for example by gluing or cementing it in an opening in the ground. It is important here that the anchor 11 , 11 ′ is inserted straight, i.e. at a right angle to the surface 14 of the ground or to the bottom of the ground plate 2 .
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 which consists essentially of a support 16 , especially a threaded pin, from which braces 18 radially project.
  • a support ring 19 is attached to the free end of the braces 18 .
  • Mounting of the anchor 11 , 11 ′ takes place using the mounting device such that the anchor 11 , 11 ′ is first screwed onto the threaded pin 16 as far as necessary. Then the opening in the ground is filled adequately with a suitable agent (for example, adhesive or cement), and the anchor 11 , 11 ′ is pressed into the opening by means of the mounting device until the support means 17 rests completely on the ground. Excess cement can be easily removed in the mounting device, since it is possible to reach through the braces 18 to the adhesive site. As soon as the anchor 11 , 11 ′ sits securely enough in the ground, the mounting device can be screwed out of the anchor 11 , 11 ′.
  • a suitable agent for example, adhesive or cement
  • a post for articles such as parasols, road signs, advertizing signs or rotary clothes driers has a top part 1 for holding the shaft of the article and a bottom part 2 , 2 ′ which faces the ground.
  • a central connecting element 3 , 3 ′ for example, a screw, which is located in the area of the bottom part 2 , 2 ′ and can be positively connected to a mount 11 , 11 ′ which is securely anchored in the ground, for example, an anchor.
