Device for the vertical arrangement of a pole or post-like object

A device in combination with a pole (4) having a ground end and a free upper end, the pole (4) to be arranged in a vertical orientation, comprising:

• a securing device (6) disposed at the ground end of the pole (4);
• a substantially cylindrical, elongated mounting mandrel (10) which projects upwards from the free upper side of the securing device (6) and inserted into an accommodating bore (12) in the underside of the ground end of the pole (4);
• a support plate (16) on which the underside of the ground end of the pole (4) rests, wherein at least one securing projection (18) protrudes upwards from the support plate (16) and penetrates the material of the pole (4);
• characterized in that
• the mounting mandrel (10) is substantially thinner than the accommodating bore (12) in the underside of the ground end of the pole (4) such that a play is provided between the outer periphery of the mounting mandrel (10) and the inner area of the accommodating bore (12) seen substantially over the entire axial extension of the mounting mandrel (10) such that said accommodating bore (12) allows angular adjustment of the pole (4) about a horizontal axis.
