"Swings up out of the way when hit and then returns to center on its own," says Vince Koebensky, manufacturer of a new "Swing Away" mailbox holding bracket.

Bracket easily mounts on either wood or steel posts. Comes in two sizes to fit standard 6 by 19 in. box or a large 8 by 21-in. box. Main box frame pivots on a stationary holding bracket that attaches directly to post.
