A one-piece resiliently deformable base assembly for an item of street furniture or a barrier, the base assembly comprising an elongate street furniture receiving portion and a base mounting portion, wherein the base assembly is formed from a polyurethane polymer, and the base mounting portion comprises a flange including one or more fixing elements.

A cylindrical two-piece pole stand assembly that automatically locks together upon insertion of a pole is disclosed which has a permanently set in-ground sleeve base formed of a length of tubing with a top end and a bottom end. A crowd control and umbrella stanchion made from a length of tubing has an outside surface with a diameter that allows for a sliding fit into or onto the sleeve. The crowd control and umbrella stanchion includes a locking mechanism for locking the crowd control and umbrella stanchion to the sleeve base. The crowd control and umbrella stanchion has a pair of upper loops welded on opposite sides of an upper portion of the crowd control and umbrella stanchion which provides a single stanchion upright which allows for the attachment of crowd control ropes or chains and also provides for the insertion of an umbrella pole to allow for an umbrella to be secured in the same location as said stanchion uprights.

A structure of a sign pole is provided. The sign pole includes a tubular member that has a predetermined outer diameter, a predetermined inner diameter, and a predetermined thickness. In a state in which the sign pole is embedded in a ground, the sign pole includes a reinforcement portion having a thickness different from the predetermined thickness while maintaining the predetermined outer diameter in a first range from a first position equal to or lower than a level of a ground surface to a second position located a predetermined distance above the level of the ground surface. The reinforcement portion has a thickness larger than the predetermined thickness.

A post socket includes a housing, a compressible sleeve within the housing, the sleeve being moveable between a first position in which the sleeve has a first internal width and a second position in which the sleeve has a second internal width, a linkage pivotably connected to the sleeve, and an actuator for actuating the linkage to move the sleeve from the first position to the second position to grip a post therein, the linkage including a linkage body connected to the actuator, the linkage further including at least one arm including a first end and a second end, the actuator being configured so that its actuation moves the linkage body to thereby move the first end and the second end of the at least one arm and thus move the sleeve from the first position to the second position.

A breakaway pole including an elongated pole body extending between a bottom end and an upper end and a base connected to the bottom end of the elongated pole body. The base includes an interior flange having at least one slot. The breakaway pole includes a breakaway clamp mounted on the at least one slot of the interior flange of the base. The breakaway clamp includes a nut and a clamp body. The clamp body has a tapered main body and two lateral breakaway flanges. The lower portion of the tapered main body is positioned within the slot of the interior flange of the base. The two lateral breakaway flanges extend laterally outward from the upper portion of the tapered main body so that the two lateral breakaway flanges contact the interior flange of the base laterally beyond the at least one slot.

A bollard system having a main post; a post collar; a base plate; and an energy-absorbing element. The base plate has an arcuate outer wall and inwardly projecting mounting fastener notches around the bottom of the base plate. The post, the post collar and the base plate are shaped such that when the post is loaded above the base plate, an obliquely, downwardly directed sliding movement of the post and post collar relative to the base plate is obtained and is damped by the energy-absorbing element.
