Abstract:
A socket mounted post system including a post with a hollow base portion attached to a spring mechanism. The spring mechanism includes a pillar, the pillar having a finger extending from the hollow base portion. The finger is engageable with a socket that is mountable in a floor. The spring mechanism allows the post to flex angularly relative to a vertical orientation of the post.

Claim (Index 1):
A floor mountable flexible stanchion post assembly comprising:\n a post having a top, a base, and a hollow post portion wherein the post has a cross-sectional area defined by the perimeter to the post; a spring mechanism housed completely within the hollow post portion of the post, said spring mechanism comprising:\n a unitary rigid securing element contained within the hollow post having a cross-sectional defined by the perimeter of the unitary rigid securing element, wherein the cross-sectional area of the unitary rigid securing element is no more than 50% than the cross-sectional area of the post; \n a flange element contained within the hollow post coupled with a wall of the post, wherein the rigid securing element engages the flange element; \n a spring element contained within the hollow post engaging the rigid securing element wherein the spring element interacts with the unitary rigid securing element, the cap, and the flange element providing for the hollow post to angularly flex relative to a vertical orientation of the post when mounted in a socket; \n a cap element adjoining the base of the post; and \n an external finger portion integral with the unitary rigid securing element, extending beyond the base of the post, the finger portion is removeably engageable with the socket mountable in a floor wherein the finger portion forms a singular inflexible structure with the unitary rigid securing element.
