Abstract:
A mount device is disclosed for securing a swimming starting block to a floor. In at least one embodiment, the mount device provides an upper mount conduit engagable with the starting block and sized for at least partially extending into a receiver conduit in the floor. A lower mount conduit is positioned below the upper mount conduit and has an outer diameter or width sized for being completely positioned within the receiver conduit. An expansion bolt extends through respective substantially coaxially aligned bores of each of the upper mount conduit and the lower mount conduit, each of the bores having a diameter that is relatively larger than a diameter the bolt. Upon tightening the expansion bolt, the lower mount conduit is urged along an angled common axis toward the upper mount conduit, such that opposing long outside surfaces of the upper mount conduit and lower mount conduit are urged in opposite, substantially horizontal directions, creating a frictional engagement within the receiver conduit.

Claim (Index 11):
A mount device for securing a swimming starting block to a floor of a pool deck, the starting block comprising a diving platform supported underneath by a support structure, the mount device comprising:\n a support plate configured for being rigidly connected to the support structure of the starting block, a bottom surface of the support plate providing a circular recess; an upper mount conduit providing an upwardly extending boss positioned and configured for being rotatably engaged along a restricted path within the recess of the support plate, the upper mount conduit having an outer diameter or width sized for at least partially extending into an upwardly opening receiver conduit provided by the floor; a lower mount conduit positioned below the upper mount conduit and having an outer diameter or width sized for being completely positioned within the receiver conduit; an expansion bolt having a shaft that extends through a respective substantially coaxially aligned bore of each of the support plate, the upper mount conduit and the lower mount conduit, each of the bores having a diameter that is relatively larger than a diameter the shaft; and the upper mount conduit and lower mount conduit being generally aligned end to end with a common axis, forming an angled interface between the upper mount conduit and the lower mount conduit, along with opposing long outside surfaces of each of the upper mount conduit and lower mount conduit; whereby, upon tightening the expansion bolt, the lower mount conduit is urged along the common axis toward the upper mount conduit, such that the opposing long outside surfaces of the upper mount conduit and lower mount conduit are urged in opposite, substantially horizontal directions, thereby creating a frictional engagement with an inside wall of the receiver conduit.
