ABSTRACT:
A return jointed sign post pedestal which returns a knocked-down post attached thereto to its original position is provided. The pedestal includes an elongated tubular base member which flares into an upwardly facing fluted bell. A top member for attachment to the lower end of a sign post formed in the shape of a fluted bell complementary to and fitting in nesting relationship within the fluted bell portion of the base member is connected to the base member by biasing means. The biasing means urge the top and base members together with the fluted bell portions thereof positioned in nesting relationship so that when a sign post attached to the pedestal is knocked down, the top member rotates with respect to the base member while being prevented from swiveling and is returned to its original position by the biasing means.
