Height adjustable stanchion

A system comprising:

• a first structure including an upper surface;
• a second structure positioned above the upper surface of the first structure;
• and
• a stanchion for supporting the second structure, the stanchion including
• a bracket coupled to the second structure,
• a threaded rod coupled to and extended from the bracket,
• a housing including a first end adjacent the bracket, a second end opposite the first end and adjacent the upper surface of the first structure, and an engagement member positioned within the housing between the first end and the second end, the engagement member having threads that engage the threaded rod, and
• a connection body that extends from the first end of the housing and engages the bracket to selectively inhibit rotation of the housing about the threaded rod,
• wherein the housing is rotatable about the threaded rod to temporarily deflect the connection body away from the bracket and adjust a length of the stanchion.

A method of adjusting a stanchion positioned between a first structure and a second structure, the stanchion including a bracket, a threaded rod coupled to and extending from the bracket, a housing having an engagement member with threads that engage the threaded rod, and a connection body extending from the housing and engaging the bracket to selectively inhibit rotation of the housing about the threaded rod, the method comprising:

• positioning the housing on an upper surface of the first structure;
• coupling the bracket to the second structure;
• rotating the housing about the threaded rod;
• temporarily deflecting the connection body away from the bracket as the housing is rotated;
• and
• adjusting a length of the stanchion as the housing is rotated.
