Post mounting systems and accessories
View Patent ↗Described in certain embodiments are mounting systems that employ one or more T-posts to support useful implements such as birdhouses, signs, fencing, banners, and the like. Additional disclosed embodiments relate to unique post- or wall-mount systems for such implements.
1. A post mount assembly, comprising:
a post structure for receipt in the ground;
a sleeve structure received over said post structure, said sleeve structure having a longitudinal axis and a shaped upper end presenting an upwardly facing bearing surface;
an implement having a wall member, wherein said wall member defines an opening for receiving said shaped upper end;
said wall member also defining a recess between a generally planar face of a first wall portion and a generally planar face of a second wall portion, said recess communicating with said opening; and
wherein said shaped upper end of said sleeve structure has portions that are lodgeable in said recess upon inserting said shaped upper end into said opening and rotating said wall member relative to said shaped upper end around said longitudinal axis of said sleeve structure.
2. The post mount assembly of claim 1 , wherein said shaped upper end comprises a plurality of radially-extending projections.
3. The post mount assembly of claim 1 , wherein said shaped upper end and said recess are configured to cooperate to provide a detent to resist rotation therebetween.
4. A post mount assembly, comprising:
a primary post structure for receipt in the ground;
a sleeve structure receivable over said post structure;
a cap member mountable at an upper end of said sleeve structure, said cap member defining an opening;
a secondary post structure receivable in said opening;
an implement supported or supportable by said secondary post structure; and
wherein said cap member is sized and configured to engage both said sleeve structure and said primary post structure when mounted at the upper end of said sleeve structure.
