Abstract
Examples of the disclosure enable a signal device to be securely coupled to a post. A post-mount teeter includes a stand including a first body, a first flange extending from the first body, and a platform coupled to the first body, and a base including a second body coupled to the first body, a housing coupled to the second body, a second flange extending from the housing, and a sleeve selectively moveable within a cavity defined by the housing to adjust a distance between the sleeve and the housing. Aspects of the disclosure provide for a teeter system that may be used to present signals to one or more users approaching a signal device from one or more directions.

A post-mount teeter for use with a signal device, the post-mount teeter comprising:
- a stand comprising a first body, a first flange extending from the first body, and a platform coupled to the first body, the platform coupleable to the signal device;
- and
- a base comprising a second body coupled to the first body, a housing coupled to the second body, a second flange extending from the housing, and a sleeve selectively moveable within a cavity defined by the housing to adjust a distance between the sleeve and the housing.
A teeter assembly comprising:
- a signal device configured to present one or more signals;
- and
- a teeter comprising a stand and a base, the stand comprising a first body, a first flange extending from the first body, and a platform having an upper surface coupled to the signal device and a lower surface coupled to the first body, the base comprising a second body coupled to the first body, a housing coupled to the second body, a second flange extending from the housing, and a sleeve moveable within a cavity defined by the housing to adjust a distance between the sleeve and the housing for securely coupling the base to a post.
A method for assembling a teeter system, the method comprising:
- coupling a first body of a stand to a second body of a base, the stand including a first flange extending from the first body, and a platform coupled to the first body, the base including a housing coupled to the second body, a second flange extending from the housing, and a sleeve moveable within a cavity defined by the housing;
- coupling a signal device to the platform;
- and
- moving the sleeve within the cavity to adjust the distance between the sleeve and the housing for securely coupling the base to a post.
