ABSTRACT:
A rotatable mailbox support assembly for mounting a mailbox such that it can be rotated from a first position to a second position. The assembly has a base member which is adapted to be mounted to a vertical support post or to an outwardly extending arm. A rotatable support plate is rotatably mounted with respect to the base member such that a mailbox mounted to the support plate can be rotated with respect to the base member and support means. The rotatable support plate is journaled to the base member by a spindle which is concealed from the elements. A latch is attached to the base member and controls the position of the mailbox and permits manual release of the mailbox for rotation. An auxiliary arm is provided which can be used with the rotatable mounting assembly for mounting the assembly to a square or round vertical post. Additionally, an adapter is provided for replacing the standard wood block used in mounting a standard mailbox.
