ABSTRACT:
A mast mounting assembly is provided for supporting a safety flag mast, communication antenna or the like. The novel assembly comprises a mounting bolt that can be permanently attached to a vehicle with the free end of the bolt extending in an upright position. The free end of the bolt has a drilled bore opening to receive and anchor the lower base end of the mast. A collar has a pair of bore openings extending from opposite ends thereof, one of the openings being smaller in diameter through which the base end of the mast can be press-fitted, the other of the openings adapted to be press-fitted over the mounting bolt. The collar is made of a hard resilient material, such as a urethane plastic, to provide a resilient support to the base of the mast for dampening the oscillations to prevent injury to the vehicle operator. In event of damage to the mast, such as by vehicle roll over, the collar can be pulled off the mounting bolt and the mast without the need for any tools.
