Patent ID: 8261500

Claim:
A retractable floor anchor system, comprising: a panel; lower rail mounted on a lower portion of the panel; a base member including a first shoulder and a second shoulder; a door closer assembly; a spindle that is rotatably coupled to the door closer assembly; and a linear actuator that moveably couples the base member to the spindle, the linear actuator including an input camming link rotatable from a first position in which the input camming link is on a first side of a vertical line passing through a pivot connection between the base member and the input camming link to a second position in which the input camming link is on a second opposite side of the vertical line; a translation member fixedly coupled to the door closer assembly; wherein the linear actuator is adapted to translate the spindle relative to the base member along a vertical axis between a retracted position and an extended position; wherein the spindle is spaced further from the base member in the extended position than in the retracted position; and wherein the first shoulder is oriented and positioned so that it limits rotation of the input camming link in a first direction when the input camming link is in the first position, and the second shoulder is oriented and positioned so that it limits rotation of the input camming link in a second direction when the input camming link is in the second position.
