Abstract

A stanchion system, includes a stanchion post and an attachment system for attachment to a flange which includes a first edge and a second edge. The attachment system includes a crossbar including an extending section and an abutment member on a first end thereof to abut the first edge of the flange; a base including a passage through which the extending section of the crossbar is movable and a seating for the stanchion post; and a connector including a first section and a second section. The second section of the connector is attachable to the extending section of the crossbar at one of a plurality of incremental positions. The first section of the connector is movable relative to the second section to adjust the position of the first section relative to the abutment member of the crossbar. In several embodiments, the first section is movable relative to the second section to abut the base on a side of the base opposite the side upon which the flange is positioned to adjust the position of the first section relative to the abutment member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A stanchion system, comprising:
a stanchion post and
an attachment system for attachment to a flange comprising a first edge and a second edge, comprising:
a crossbar comprising an extending section and an abutment member on a first end thereof to abut the first edge of the flange,
a base comprising a passage through which the extending section of the crossbar is linearly movable and a seating for the stanchion post, and
a connector comprising a first section and a second section, the second section being attachable to the extending section of the crossbar at each of a plurality of incremental positions independent of attachment of the first section to the extending section, the first section engaged with the second section to be linearly movable along the extending section independent of movement of the second section along the extending section to thereby clamp the attachment system to the flange with the second section attached at a selected one of the plurality of incremental positions.

2. The stanchion system of claim 1 wherein the first section is movable relative to the second section to abut the base on a side of the base opposite the side upon which the flange is positioned to adjust the position of the first section relative to the abutment member.

3. A stanchion system, comprising:
a stanchion post and
an attachment system for attachment to a flange comprising a first edge and a second edge, comprising:
a crossbar comprising an extending section and an abutment member on a first end thereof to abut the first edge of the flange,
a base comprising a passage through which the extending section of the crossbar is linearly movable and a seating for the stanchion post, and
a connector comprising a first section and a second section, the second section being attachable to the extending section of the crossbar at each of a plurality of incremental positions independent of attachment of the first section to the extending section, the first section being movable relative to the extending and second sections in a first path in a first direction to thereby clamp the attachment system to the flange with the second section attached at a selected one of the plurality of incremental positions;

wherein the second section includes an interior passage through which the extending section passes so that the second section is linearly slidable on the extending section to each of the plurality of incremental positions independent of rotation of the second section relative to the extending section and wherein at least a portion of either the first section or the second section is positioned within at least a portion of the other of the first section of the second section.

4. A stanchion system, comprising:
a stanchion post and
an attachment system for attachment to a flange comprising a first edge and a second edge, comprising:
a crossbar comprising an extending section and an abutment member on a first end thereof to abut the first edge of the flange,
a base comprising a passage through which the extending section of the crossbar is movable and a seating for the stanchion post, and
a connector comprising a first section and a second section, the second section being attachable to the extending section of the crossbar at one of a plurality of incremental positions, the first section being linearly movable relative to the second section to adjust the position of the first section relative to the abutment member of the crossbar;

wherein the first section is movable relative to the second section to abut the base on a side of the base opposite the side upon which the flange is positioned to adjust the position of the first section relative to the abutment member;
the second section includes an interior passage through which the extending section passes so that the second section is linearly slidable on the extending section to each of the plurality of incremental positions independent of rotation of the second section relative to the extending section and wherein at least a portion of either the first section or the second section is positioned within at least a portion of the other of the first section of the second section;
the first section of the connector comprises threading and the second section comprises cooperating threading to enable movement of the first section relative to the second section; and
wherein the first section comprises a passage in which at least a portion of the second section is positioned, the second section comprising the interior passage through which the extending section of the crossbar passes.

5. A stanchion system comprising:
a stanchion post and
an attachment system for attachment to a flange comprising a first edge and a second edge, comprising:
a crossbar comprising an extending section and an abutment member on a first end thereof to abut the first edge of the flange,
a base comprising a passage through which the extending section of the crossbar is movable and a seating for the stanchion post, and
a connector comprising a first section and a second section, the second section being attachable to the extending section of the crossbar at one of a plurality of incremental positions, the first section being movable relative to the second section to adjust the position of the first section relative to the abutment member of the crossbar;

wherein the first section is movable relative to the second section to abut the base on a side of the base opposite the side upon which the flange is positioned to adjust the position of the first section relative to the abutment member;
the second section includes an interior passage through which the extending section passes so that the second section is linearly slidable along on the extending section to each of the plurality of incremental positions independent of rotation of the second section relative to the extending section and wherein at least a portion of either the first section or the second section is positioned within at least a portion of the other of the first section of the second section;
the first section of the connector comprises threading and the second section comprises cooperating threading to enable movement of the first section relative to the second section; and
wherein the first section comprises a passage in which at least a portion of the second section is positioned, the second section comprising the interior passage through which the extending section of the crossbar passes,
wherein the threading of the first section is formed on an interior surface of at least a portion of the passage of the first section and the cooperating threading of the second section is formed on at least a portion of an exterior surface of a generally cylindrical section of the second section.

6. A stanchion system comprising:
a stanchion post and
an attachment system for attachment to a flange comprising a first edge and a second edge, comprising:
a crossbar comprising an extending section and an abutment member on a first end thereof to abut the first edge of the flange,
a base comprising a passage through which the extending section of the crossbar is movable and a seating for the stanchion post, and
a connector comprising a first section and a second section, the second section being attachable to the extending section of the crossbar at one of a plurality of incremental positions, the first section being movable relative to the second section to adjust the position of the first section relative to the abutment member of the crossbar;

wherein the first section is movable relative to the second section to abut the base on a side of the base opposite the side upon which the flange is positioned to adjust the position of the first section relative to the abutment member;
