Adjustable post base

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In contrast to the prior art, the present invention provides a post base in which the seat is rotatably connected to the anchor member.
Such a structure totally eliminates welding and also provides a base in which the rotational orientation of the seat can be adjusted after the concrete has set to accommodate the particular orientation of the post.
With the elimination of all welding, the structure of the present invention also enables the post base to be constructed of galvanized steel.
The process for manufacturing the post base of the present invention involves a process whereby a portion of the anchor is expanded on each side of the seat to rotatably capture the seat between such expanded portions.
The process is accomplished through the use of a progressive tool and die mechanism.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a post base in which the seat member is rotationally adjustable relative to the anchor.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a rotationally adjustable post base without welding.
A further object of the invention to provide a method for manufacturing the adjustable post base described above.
These and other objects will become apparent with reference to the drawings, the description of the preferred embodiment and method and the appended claims.
