Abstract
Abstract The present mounting chock is a system of elements designed to allow the chock to conform to non-rectilinear objects and to therefore allow greater flexibility in mounting objects to floors or decks. The invention includes right and left mounting elements, the right and left elements being mirror images in the vertical plane, and a spacing attachment means which is used to locate the right and left mounting elements relative to the mounted object and to each other which together comprise a mounting chock.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A mounting chock comprising: a right mounting element, having element anchoring means and limiting means, a left mounting element, having element anchoring means and limiting means, and a mirror image in the vertical plane of the right mounting element, a spacing attachment means, wherein said spacing attachment means is flexible at its center, such that it may be bent so that the included angle is from les than 90° to approximately 180°, for linking said left and right mounting elements, said right and left mounting elements each having a vertical attachment face, and a slot in said face, said slot sized to accept the thickness of the attachment means, and said spacing attachment means having at least one pair of vertical ribbing, said vertical ribbing to be positioned inside said slot of each mounting element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A mounting chock comprising: a right mounting element, having element anchoring means and limiting means, a left mounting element, having element anchoring means and limiting means, and a mirror image in the vertical plane of the right mounting element, a spacing attachment means, wherein said spacing attachment means is flexible at its center, such that it may be bent so that the included angle is from les than 90° to approximately 180°, for linking said left and right mounting elements, said right and left mounting elements each having a vertical attachment face, and a slot in said face, said slot sized to accept the thickness of the attachment means, and said spacing attachment means having at least one pair of vertical ribbing, said vertical ribbing to be positioned inside said slot of each mounting element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The mounting chock of claim 1, wherein said spacing attachment means is constructed of a bendable material and angled at the apex the ribs extending in equal pairs from said apex.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
164 words
A mounting system which comprises: a plurality of mounting chocks, each mounting chock comprising: a right mounting element, having element anchoring means and limiting means, a left mounting element, having element anchoring means and limiting means, and a mirror image in the vertical plane of the right mounting element, a spacing attachment means, wherein said spacing attachment means is flexible at its center, such that it may be bent so that the included angle is from less than 90° to approximately 180°, for linking said left and right mounting elements, and said right and left mounting elements each having a vertical attachment face, and a slot in said face, said slot sized to accept the thickness of the attachment means, and said spacing attachment means having at least one pair of vertical ribbing, said vertical ribbing to be positioned inside said slot of each mounting element, at least one securing element anchored at each end to a mounting chock, and securing the mounted object.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
164 words
A mounting system which comprises: a plurality of mounting chocks, each mounting chock comprising: a right mounting element, having element anchoring means and limiting means, a left mounting element, having element anchoring means and limiting means, and a mirror image in the vertical plane of the right mounting element, a spacing attachment means, wherein said spacing attachment means is flexible at its center, such that it may be bent so that the included angle is from less than 90° to approximately 180°, for linking said left and right mounting elements, and said right and left mounting elements each having a vertical attachment face, and a slot in said face, said slot sized to accept the thickness of the attachment means, and said spacing attachment means having at least one pair of vertical ribbing, said vertical ribbing to be positioned inside said slot of each mounting element, at least one securing element anchored at each end to a mounting chock, and securing the mounted object.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
The mounting system of claim 3 wherein said mounting elements contain a hook slot.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
The mounting system of claim 4 wherein said securing element engages said chocks with a securing hook engaged in said hook slots.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
14 words
The mounting system of claim 3 wherein said securing element is an elastic material.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
36 words
The mounting system of claim 3 wherein said securing element has a mounting hook comprising a hook and a sliding member, said sliding member slidably engaging said securing element and said hook engaging the mounted object.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
113 words
A mounting chock comprising: a right mounting element, having element anchoring means and limiting means, a left mounting element, having element anchoring means and limiting means, and a mirror image in the vertical plane of the right mounting element, and a spacing attachment means for linking left and right mounting elements, wherein said spacing attachment means has vertical ribbing, said ribbing spaced in equal pairs from the mid-point of said attachment means, and said right mounting element and left mounting element having a vertical attachment face and a slot in said face, said slot sized to accept the thickness of the attachment means, but thinner than the thickness of the attachment means ribbing.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
113 words
A mounting chock comprising: a right mounting element, having element anchoring means and limiting means, a left mounting element, having element anchoring means and limiting means, and a mirror image in the vertical plane of the right mounting element, and a spacing attachment means for linking left and right mounting elements, wherein said spacing attachment means has vertical ribbing, said ribbing spaced in equal pairs from the mid-point of said attachment means, and said right mounting element and left mounting element having a vertical attachment face and a slot in said face, said slot sized to accept the thickness of the attachment means, but thinner than the thickness of the attachment means ribbing.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
31 words
A mounting chock of claim 8, wherein said spacing attachment means is constructed of a bendable material and angled at the apex the ribs extending in equal pairs from said apex.
