Stacking base system for temporary posts

摘要

A stacking base system for transporting to a work site supports a plurality of vertical posts. Each of a plurality of base members defines a fill port and includes a port plug adapted to be removably inserted in the fill port, and defines a post aperture, shaped to correspond to a cross-section of the posts, extending downward through the base member. Three legs extend down from outer edges each base member, and are equally spaced around the base member, and substantially equally spaced from the post aperture. The post aperture is oriented vertically when bottom ends of the legs are resting on a horizontal surface. The base members are stacked such that a top portion of a lower base member engages a bottom portion of a next adjacent upper base member and such that the plurality of base members forms a base stack.

1. A stacking base system for transporting to a work site to support a plurality of posts in a substantially vertical orientation, the system comprising:
a plurality of hollow base members, wherein each base member:
defines a fill port and includes a port plug adapted to be removably inserted in the fill port;defines a post aperture extending downward through the base member from an upper surface thereof to a lower surface thereof, the post aperture shaped to correspond to a cross-section of the posts;comprises three legs extending down from outer edges of the lower surface of each base member, the legs substantially equally spaced around the lower surface of the base member, and substantially equally spaced from the post aperture; andwherein the post aperture is oriented substantially vertically when bottom ends of the legs are resting on a substantially horizontal surface; wherein the base members are stacked such that a top portion of a lower base member engages a bottom portion of a next adjacent upper base member and such that the plurality of base members forms a base stack; and wherein the upper surface of each base member defines a stacking lug above each leg, and wherein a bottom surface of each leg defines a bottom recess, and wherein the stacking lug of the lower base member is slidingly engaged in the bottom recess of the next adjacent upper base member.
