A floor mountable flexible stanchion post assembly comprising:
- a post having a top, a base, and a hollow post portion;
- a spring mechanism positioned within the hollow post portion of the post, said spring mechanism comprising:
- a rigid securing element;
- a cap element affixed to the rigid securing element;
- a flange element coupled with a wall of the post, wherein the rigid securing element engages the flange element;
- a spring element engaging the rigid securing element wherein the spring element interacts with the rigid securing element, the cap, and the flange element providing for the hollow post to angularly flex relative to a vertical orientation of a post;
- and
- a finger portion contiguous with the rigid securing element extending beyond the base of the post, the finger is engaged with a socket mountable in a floor.
