Floor support
The present disclosure provides a support system comprising a post, said post extending upward vertically from a pad and further comprising upper and lower ends, wherein said lower end is secured to a lower flange; and a joist flange secured to the post opposite the lower flange; wherein the lower flange is secured to the post via a frictional fit.
1. A support system comprising a post vertically disposed between a pad and a joist, said post comprising upper and lower ends and an aperture in at least the lower end, wherein (i) a joist flange is located at the terminus of the post's upper end and a lower flange is located at the terminus of the post's lower end, (ii) the lower flange and the joist flange move independently relative the post from one another, and (iii) a threaded rod is disposed in the aperture of the post and passes through the lower flange and the pad.
2. The support system of claim 1 wherein the post comprises an upper insert disposed within the upper end of the post, said upper insert comprising an opening configured to receive a threaded rod.
3. The support system of claim 2 , wherein the post is frictionally secured to the lower flange.
4. The support system of claim 3 wherein the lower flange comprises a centering guide having a first diameter and the post has a second diameter and wherein the second diameter is greater than the first diameter.
5. The support system of claim 1 , wherein the wherein the post is frictionally secured to the lower flange.
6. A floor support system comprising:
a. a post, said post extending upward vertically from a pad and further comprising upper and lower ends and at least an aperture in the upper and lower ends, wherein said lower end is secured to a lower flange, said lower flange comprising a raised centering guide;
b. an upper insert, said upper insert comprising a raised centering guide which is inserted into the upper end of the post;
wherein (i) the lower flange and the upper insert are secured to the post via a frictional fit and (ii) a first threaded rod is disposed in the upper aperture of the post and terminates on one end at the joist flange and a second threaded rod is disposed in the lower aperture of the post and passes through the lower flange and the pad.
7. The floor support system of claim 6 wherein the post is shaped as a square.
8. The floor support system of claim 6 wherein the post is cylindrical.
