Post Stabilizer
US Patent:
2004010, Jun 10, 2004
Filed:
Dec 6, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/313216
Inventors:
Robert Messier - West Chester PA, US
International Classification:
E04C003/30
US Classification:
052/736100, 052/736200, 052/737100
Abstract:
The “post stabilizer” “is basically an efficient, inexpensive, time and cost saving device to stabilize posts, poles, columns, etc. The objective is to keep posts, poles, columns, etc. in their upright vertical position, in order for them to do the job they were intended to do. This could be holding up a mailbox, street sign, flag, wires, fence, etc. The “post stabilizer” accomplishes its mission by greatly increasing the amount of soil that has to be displaced in order for the post to move out of position. In order for a post to move or tilt out of position, it normally has very little resistance to do so from the soil, especially if the post is thin or round. Up to this time cement tubes have been used to firm up the stability of post. This may still be a requirement in some cases, but it is usually time consuming and can be relatively expensive. In many situations with the “post stabilizer,” the stability can be obtained with a fraction of the cost and great reduction of time and effort. The “post stabilizer” is basically made up of four (4) interlocking plates, locked in place around the post that are then hammered into the ground, out of sight, and basically requires any movement of the post, except up and down, to displace 5, 10, 20, or more times the amount of soil than without it, in order to move. Thus the post stays in place, stabilized, to do the job it was intended to do.

US Patent:
2005006, Mar 24, 2005
Filed:
Oct 29, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/977648
Inventors:
Robert Messier - West Chester PA, US
International Classification:
C23F001/00, A47B043/00, A47B047/00, A47B057/00
US Classification:
216002000
Abstract:
A post stabilizing device including a plurality of interconnectable plates is provided. Each of the plates has one or more series of slots that can be mated with slots in one or more of the remaining plates. The plates can be driven into the ground before or after the post intended to be stabilized. The post stabilizing devices help keep a post in place by requiring large amounts of earth to be displaced in order for the post to move in any direction, thus, stabilizing the post.
