Abstract
Disclosed is a pivotable signpost support device. The device includes a signpost support that is vertically aligned with a ground post support, wherein the signpost support is disposed above the ground post support that is affixed to a ground post. The signpost support and the ground post support are secured between first vertical support and a second vertical support. The signpost support is pivotally secured to the first and second vertical supports by means of a pivot bolt having a die spring at an end thereof, so that it can pivot forward and backward relative to the first and second vertical supports. The pivot bolt can tighten the die spring so as to keep the signpost support in an upright position but allowing the signpost support to fall into a collapsed position.

A pivotable signpost support device, comprising:
- a first vertical support and a second vertical support;
- a signpost support;
- a ground post support;
- wherein said signpost support and said ground post support are vertically aligned;
- said signpost support and said ground post support disposed between said first vertical support and said second vertical support such that said signpost support, said first vertical support, and said second vertical support are substantially aligned in a first plane;
- said signpost support pivotally attached to said first vertical support and said second vertical support via a pivot bolt;
- wherein said signpost support is adapted to move from an upright position into a collapsed position when pivoting about said pivot bolt, whereby said signpost support is adapted to pivot between said first vertical support and said second vertical support about said pivot bolt in a direction out of said first plane;
- said ground post support attached to said first vertical support and said second vertical support via one or more fasteners
- a spring attached to an end of said pivot bolt;
- wherein said spring resists said signpost support when said signpost support is pivoted from said upright position such that said signpost support substantially returns to said upright position after being pivoted therefrom.
