Abstract:
An apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a blade configured for extending between adjacent floor panels and having a bottom portion thereof that defines a floor member engaging recess for engaging a bottom side of the floor member and a hook on an end thereof for engaging a vertical side of the floor member. A mount to which the blade is translatable about and engaged with a top surface of the adjacent floor panels when installed on a floor surface is provided. A linear translator is selectively directed to translate the blade relative to the mount such that the distance between a bottom surface of the mount and the floor member engaging recess is varied in order to securely receive the floor member therebetween. A related method is also disclosed.

Claim (Index 7):
A method for supporting an umbrella, chair, table, or boat cleat, the method comprising:\n placing a first blade between adjacent floor panels and extending the first blade such that a floor member engaging recess of the first blade is proximal with a bottom side of the floor member and a hook is proximal with a vertical side of a floor member; placing a mount into translatable engagement with the first blade and onto a top surface of the adjacent floor panels; and translating the first blade relative to the mount with a linear translator such that the distance between a bottom surface of the mount and the floor member engaging recess is varied in order to securely receive the floor member therebetween until the floor engaging recess is in engagement with a bottom side of the floor member and the hook is in engagement with a vertical side of the floor member.
