DIVING BOARD LIFTER
20240010478 · 2024-01-11 ·

A diving board lifter and diving board assemblies for lifting a board to a raised position and lowering the board to a dive position. The lifter can mount between a fulcrum assembly and a rear anchor and along an alignment rod of a diving board stand. The lifter can include redundant primary and secondary mechanical safeties for locking the board in a raised position. The lifter can employ a lead screw that moves a linkage including a carriage, a pivot arm, and a pivot shaft to raise and lower the board. An extension shaft can be retracted when the lift is lowered so that a board support member of the lift is spaced below the board. The diving board assembly can include a fulcrum roller and traction material on the board for roller engagement. The lift can press the board support member against the traction material to lift the board.

STARTING PLATFORM WITH INTEGRATED BACKSTROKE ANCHOR LEDGE
20200197738 · 2020-06-25 ·

A swimming starting platform having a base supporting a tread surface and an anchor ledge for supporting swimmers. The base includes a shaft extending through an interior cavity of the base from a first side panel to a second side panel. An adjustment mechanism is coupled to an end of the shaft and positioned along the first side panel, where the adjustment mechanism is actuatable to rotate the shaft and adjust a position of the anchor ledge relative to the base of the starting platform.

Mount device for swimming starting block
10598198 · 2020-03-24 ·

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.
