Benefits of technology

[0015] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a removably modular flangeless security post system, apparatus and method for installing / removing the same having the ability to quickly and easily interchange the upright post without the need to remove its partially embedded surface mounting post attachment assembly.
[0016] It is a further object of the present invention to provide a removably modular flangeless security post system and apparatus that has the ability to accommodate a plurality of sizes, lengths and shapes of upright security posts used for attachment to a surface mounting attachment assembly.
[0017] It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide an removably embedment anchoring assembly wherein the embedment assembly permits quick, sturdy, resilient securement of the embedment assembly into a plurality of substrate foundational surfaces.
[0018] It is another object of the present invention to provide a removably modular flangeless security post system, apparatus and method that is simple and inexpensive to construct and that permits easy installation / removal.

Problems solved by technology

However, when prior barrier devices have been implemented to provide proper protection to people and business assets, occasional random damage is inflicted on the barrier requiring complete removal and replacement of the entire barrier and its associated attachment mechanisms.
The previous methods and devices were costly and time-consuming because often times it could also involve digging holes, placing the posts and then backfilling.

Abstract

A removable modular flangeless security post system comprising a unitary bilaterally opposed thread embedment anchor device and an elongated security post member. The post member comprises a recessed attachment plate, wherein the plate is internally disposed a predetermined distance from one end of the post member for providing removable attachment of the post member to the threaded anchor device, whereby operational union of the post member with the embedment anchor device provides flangeless engagement with an installation surface. A method for installing a removable modular flangeless security post system comprising drilling a cavity, installing an embedment into the cavity, installing an elongated security post assembly and torquing the elongated security post assembly onto the embedment device.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Not Applicable. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not Applicable. REFERENCE TO A “MICROFICHE APPENDIX”[0003] Not Applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] The present invention relates generally to a barrier post or the like for providing force-applied protection to a device or area, and more particularly, to removable barrier posts having flangeless post arrangement attachment with a surface. [0005] Throughout various private and commercial settings such as, but not limited to, storefronts, business interiors and loading dock zones can be one of the busiest and most important areas associated with plants, retail outlets and warehousing facilities. Subjected to heavy, continuous traffic, these high traffic zones are vital to the smooth and efficient flow of raw materials, shopping carts, automobiles, pedestrians and light to heavy moving equipment just to name a few. [0006] Careful planning and ...
