Abstract:
A first post has a lower portion at a first floor of a multistory building and an upper portion at a second floor, and a second post has a lower portion at the second floor and an upper portion at a third floor or building-top structure. A post connection includes a horizontal cap plate and a vertical sleeve extending upward from the cap plate and having a bore with an inner dimension. The cap plate attaches to and covers the first post upper portion to prevent water intrusion into the first post. The second post lower portion has an outer dimension that is slightly less than the connection sleeve inner dimension so that the second post lower portion is slidingly received in the connection sleeve bore in an overlapping, telescopic arrangement. A retainer may be installed for engaging and supporting the second post on the connection.

Claim (Index 1):
A stacking support post system for constructing a multistory building, comprising:\n at least one first post having a lower portion and an upper portion, the lower portion for positioning at a first floor of the building, the upper portion for positioning at a second floor of the building, the upper portion having a bore defined therein; at least one second post having a lower portion and an upper portion, the lower portion for positioning at the second floor of the building, the upper portion for positioning at a third floor or a top structure of the building; and a connection including a cap plate and a telescopic member extending upward from the cap plate, the cap plate configured to cover the bore of the upper portion of the first post when mounted atop the first post to prevent water from draining from the second post into the first-post upper-portion bore, and the telescopic member configured to engage the second-post lower portion in an overlapping, telescopic arrangement, wherein the connection mounts the second post to the first post.
