  • signposts is meant, here, a post on which is mounted for example a sign holder or any other display support.
  • connecting post will be understood to mean a post on which is mounted a means for hooking chains or one or more sleeves for receiving tubes intended to make a connection between two posts.
  • Such connecting posts are generally used to produce guide paths thanks to the chains or connecting tubes, in particular in large areas or during events.
  • Pedestals for posts of this type comprising a base secured to the post for example by welding with lights for the passage of fixing screws to the ground, and a cover covering the base to conceal the fixing screws to the ground .
  • the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.
  • It relates to a base for connecting post and / or indicator which can be fixed to the ground which allows the angular orientation of the post in a simple and easy manner and without having to move the base itself.
  • the present invention proposes, to do this, a base with a base for a post or cylindrical tubular foot, of the type comprising a base body in the shape of a bell, widely flared and having at the top a passage for the post, characterized in that it comprises , formed in the body of base, at least one lateral support block for the post, a counter-flange for holding the post against the base block, and clamping means for the counter-flange accessible from outside the body of the basement.
  • the base body can be made in one piece by molding.
  • the base block further comprises a seat forming an axial support for the base of the post.
  • the base is then fixed to the ground by means of fixing means passing through an axial orifice made in the seat of the base block.
  • a rod is fixed by one of its ends to the seat, through the orifice, while its other end protrudes from the post, thereby advantageously allowing the attachment of accessories beyond the 'upper end of the post.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a base 9 carrying a tubular and cylindrical post 11.
  • the base 9 comprises a base body 10 in the form of a largely flared bell, the flared part forming the base 12 of the base 9 intended to come into contact with the ground and the top 13 comprising a passage 14 for the post 11.
  • This base body 10 is a single piece obtained by molding.

  • Each axial passage 21, 21 ′ comprises in particular an axial guide groove 28, 28 ′ formed in the semi-cylindrical section 17 of the base block 15 (also shown in dotted lines in FIG. 3) facilitating the fitting of the nuts 26, 26 'in their respective housing 27, 27'.
  • the upper face 18 of the seat 16 receiving the base of the post 11 is moreover arranged at a sufficient distance from the transverse passages 25, 25 ′ and from the vertical portion 24 comprising them so as to, on the one hand, leave sufficient access for setting in place place of the counter-flange 19 by the internal face of the base body 10 and, on the other hand, have a zone for holding the lower part of the post 11 high enough to ensure good immobilization and stability of the post 11.
  • fixing means 35 For fixing to the ground of the base 9, there is provided as fixing means 35, a screw 35B provided with a washer 35A, cooperating with a dowel 37 received in a hole 36 made in the ground (see FIG. 2), the washer 35A being housed in the frustoconical bowl 32 of the seat 16, the screw 35A passing through the oblong passage 33 and the circular housing 34.
  • the dowel 37 can be of the conventional type or of the so-called chemical dowel type, with a threaded socket 37 chemically sealed in the bore 36 for example using a resin.
  • Finishing plugs 38, 38 ' can be introduced respectively into the transverse passages 25, 25' to close the latter or hide the clamping screws 20, 20 '.
  • the base body 10 has at its base 12 a peripheral circular groove 39 facing the ground intended to receive a ring of contact with the ground 40, of toric shape, for example of a plastic material such as polyurethane, weldable to the base body 10.
  • a flat crown 41 can be provided, made of elastic material, for example advantageously non-slip rubber, and having an adhesive face for bonding under the base body 10, if necessary covering the groove 39.
  • This crown not only makes it possible to catch up with the irregularities of the ground but also not to scratch the latter with the base 9, or even to protect the base 9 itself.
  • the base 9 can be mounted and used as follows.
  • the base body 10 is turned over.
  • the nuts 26, 26 ' are introduced through the corresponding axial passages 21, 21' into their housings 27, 27 ', guided along the grooves 28, 28'.
  • the counter-flange 19 is introduced and placed opposite the lateral bearing portion 17 of the base block 15, so as to position the holes 23, 23 ′ of the counter-flange 19 in the axis of the transverse passages 25 , 25 ', then the fixing screws 20, 20' are introduced and engaged in the nuts 26, 26 '.
  • the base can then be turned over, ready for use without subjecting it to the ground as explained below.
