ABSTRACT:
A new Sign Post Stabilizer for increasing the stability of a sign post by providing multi-directional support. The inventive device includes a post sleeve positionable over a sign post and a pair of L-shaped wing members extending horizontally outward from the post sleeve. The post sleeve includes a pair of aligned mounting holes for securing the post sleeve to a lower section of the sign post with a standard bolt and nut fastener. The post sleeve is secured to the lower section of the sign post such that the pair of L-shaped wing members extend outward from the post sleeve below the surface of the ground when the lower section of the sign post is driven into the ground. Each one of the pair of L-shaped wing members extends outward from the post sleeve in about 180 degree spaced relation. In addition, each one of the pair of L-shaped wing members is bent at a wing angle along an imaginary vertical axis so as to form adjacent multi-planar vertical walls. The wing angle is about 90 degrees so as to provide stabilization support in perpendicular vertical planes. The post sleeve is designed to accommodate sign posts having various cross-sections. The post sleeve has either a channel type cross section, a round cross section, or a square cross section for matingly accepting a channel type sign post, a square sign post, or a round sign post, respectively.
