Benefits of technology
The present invention is a post mount assembly that includes a post sleeve, base plate, and leveling plate, all made of stainless steel. The assembly also includes elongated fasteners and leveling bolts for attaching and leveling equipment. The technical effects are that the assembly is resistant to corrosion and rust, and can safely support heavy equipment.
Problems solved by technology
Post mounts that are used in coastal regions, however, are rusting in half and failing due to exposure to the moist salt air.
A post mount is supposed to withstand 200 lbs of side load force; yet, current handrail posts made from carbon steel will only withstand this amount of side load for an average of seven years when installed at a coastal region because of corrosion due to the above-mentioned exposure to salt air.
Once the post mount fails the handrail it supports because intolerably unstable, and a veritable booby trap that can seriously injure the unexpecting and expose the owner to legal liability for negligence.

Embodiment Construction
[0016]The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.
[0017]Broadly, an embodiment of the present invention provides a post mount assembly adapted to resist the corrosive effects of sea air through the incorporation of a 100% stainless-steel hardware. The 100% stainless-steel hardware includes a post sleeve with a base plate for engaging a lower portion of a post, thereby providing a support structure not susceptible to corrosion, rust and other destabilizing natural processes possible in a high-saline, moist environments. The post mount assembly provides a leveling function that embodies a leveling plate disposed between the base plate and the supporting surface so that leveling f...

A post mount assembly adapted to resist the corrosive effects of sea air through the incorporation of a 100% stainless-steel hardware. The 100% stainless-steel hardware includes a post sleeve with a base plate for engaging a lower portion of a post, thereby providing a support structure not susceptible to corrosion, rust and other destabilizing natural processes possible in a high-saline, moist environments. The post mount assembly provides a leveling function that embodies a leveling plate disposed between the base plate and the supporting surface so that leveling fasteners can selectively raise at least a portion of the base plate relative to the (unlevel) supporting surface. Thereby, the post mount assembly maintains the structural integrity of supported handrails and / or handrail posts.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. provisional application No. 62 / 905,020, filed 24 Sep. 2019, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to methods of construction and, more particularly, a post mount assembly for residential and commercial construction, wherein the post mount assembly is adapted to resist the corrosion resulting from exposure to ocean air, while having leveling functionality.[0003]Handrails rely on posts for their structural integrity. Post mounts that are used in coastal regions, however, are rusting in half and failing due to exposure to the moist salt air. A post mount is supposed to withstand 200 lbs of side load force; yet, current handrail posts made from carbon steel will only withstand this amount of side load for an average of seven years when installed at a coastal region because of corrosion due to the above-men...
