Patent ID: 7188579

Claim:
A mooring pole line attachment device having a inferior and superior terminus comprised of a buoyant base, cylindrical sleeve and at least one line engagement means wherein the buoyant base includes a superior terminus, an inferior terminus, a core having an inner coil therewithin configured with parallel rings and circumferential grooves located upon the outer surface thereof and wherein the buoyant base further includes a central bore having an inside diameter especially configured to enable a portion of the cylindrical sleeve, adjacent to an inferior terminus thereof, to be inserted therewithin, wherein said core and the circumferential grooves of the outer surface of the inner coil are filled with a buoyant material having a specific gravity less than that of water; the cylindrical sleeve having a length and an outside diameter and including a superior terminus, an inferior terminus, an outer surface and an inner surface wherein the inner surface is substantially smooth and the outer surface includes a plurality of parallel circumferential rings, said rings defining parallel circumferential grooves therebetween, wherein the outside diameter of the cylindrical sleeve is especially configured so as to enable a portion of the cylindrical sleeve, adjacent to the inferior terminus thereof, to be inserted within the central bore of the buoyant base and wherein the parallel rings and circumferential grooves adjacent the inferior terminus of said cylindrical sleeve are disposed in a perpendicular relation to the parallel rings and grooves of the inner coil, said buoyant material also filling the parallel grooves of the cylindrical sleeve so as to affix said buoyant base to said cylindrical sleeve; and the line engagement means includes a means of adjustment thereto wherein said means may be repositioned from one circumferential ring to another along the length of the cylindrical sleeve wherein said device rises and lowers in accordance with changes in tide level so as to allow boats to be moored to a fixed mooring pole.
