The present invention relates to a belt post structure wherein the belt is connected to a coil spring and can be easily engaged with another post.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A conventional barrier device is shown FIG.
7
and generally includes two posts
61
and each post
61
has a base
62
so as to be able to stand on a surface. A flange
63
is connected to a top of each of the posts
61
and has a plurality of holes
631
defined therethrough. A decoration sphere
64
is connected on the flange
63
. A wire
65
has two hooks
651
connected to two ends of the wire
65
so that the hooks
651
are engaged with one of the holes
631
of the two flanges
63
. The distance between the two posts
61
cannot be too wide because the wire
65
has a fixed length. The distance between the posts
61
cannot be too short because the wire
65
may then droop and touch the ground.
The present invention intends to provide a belt post assembly that has two posts and a belt is connected to a coil spring. A head assembly is connected to the belt so that the head assembly can be engaged with another post conveniently.

A reel of belt is received in the receiving member and includes a mandrel which has an engaging port on a top end of the mandrel so as to connect to an end of a coil spring. The coil spring is received in a spring box which is engaged in the receiving member. An top cover is fixedly mounted to the receiving member and has a second skirt portion.
A head assembly is fixedly connected to a leading end of the belt and includes a body and a movable piece is movably received in the body from a lower end of the body. The body has a first lug and the movable piece has a second lug. The first lug is engaged with a gap between the first skirt portion and an outside of the receiving member. The second lug is engaged with a gap between the second skirt portion and the outside of the receiving member.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
