ABSTRACT:
A newel post anchoring device, for connecting a post to a concrete floor, wherein the post has a transverse bottom surface and the concrete floor has a floor surface. The newel post anchoring device includes a base having a top with a periphery, and a bottom load bearing surface, wherein the top of said base abuts the transverse bottom surface of the post, and the bottom load bearing surface abuts with the floor surface, thereby the base transmits the load of the post to the floor and also elevates the post above the floor to minimize deterioration of the post. The anchoring device further includes a threaded stud with a stud bottom end for securely embedding in the floor and a threaded stud top end dimensioned and adapted to engage with a threaded aperture defined in the top such that the base is screwed down over the threaded stud top end for bringing the load bearing surface of the base into surface engagement with the floor surface. The base further includes a plurality of holes defined in the top, disposed proximate the top periphery, the holes adapted to receive fastening screws there through for bringing the newel post transverse bottom surface into surface engagement with the top of the base and rigidly fastening the newel post to the base.
