Abstract

A socket (11) designed to be installed on the surface of a watercraft such as a sailboard or a stand-up paddle board can accept a number of alternate accessory mounting plug-in inserts such as an adapter mount (12) for a vent plug (9), a paddle strap mount (16), leash or universal joint ball mount (18), for example. The insert can be positioned in a number of discrete horizontally angular orientations byway of commensurate interlocking crenelations in the form of equidistantly angularly spaced apart splines (35) and keyways (36), and secured into the socket by a pair of locking screws engaging angled channels (27,28). A top flange (22), lateral gusset blades (25,29) and a resin dam (40) facilitate the insertion and gluing of the socket into the foam core of the board.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 07 July 2014 (07.07.2014) CLAIMS
1. A device for mounting accessories on a watercraft board having a skin and a solid core, said device comprising:
a socket comprising:
a tubular wall;
a radial flange projecting outwardly from an upper edge of said wall; a pair of opposite radial blades projecting outwardly from said wall and tapering down toward said lower edge;
a plurality of equally spaced apart radial splines formed inwardly into said wall; and, at least one tubular channel extending from said flange to an inside surface area of said wall;
at least one accessory mounting insert having an outer peripheral geometry commensurate with said inside surface;
wherein said geometry comprises a plurality of peripheral keyways intimately matching said splines; and,
at least one of said splines or keyways having at least one elongated longitudinal drainage furrow extending lengthwise along the center of said at least one of said splines or keyways.
2. Cancelled
3. Cancelled
4. The device of Claim 1, wherein said tubular channel has an interior threaded surface.
5. The device of Claim 4, which further comprises a pair of diametrically opposite, inwardly angled ones of said tubular channel.
6. The device of Claim 1, wherein said socket further comprises a circular bottom proximate a lower edge of said wall.
7. The device of Claim 6, wherein said bottom has a plurality of bores.
8. The device of Claim 1 , wherein said insert has a circular groove in line with said channel when said insert is positioned within said socket.
9. The device of Claim 8, in combination with a watercraft board, wherein said socket is inserted through a skinned surface of the board and secured into its core.
10. The device of Claim 8, in combination with a watercraft board, wherein said socket is inserted and secured into the core of the board, and partially covered by an applied skinned surface of the board.
11. The combination of Claim 9, which further comprises locking screws inserted in said channel and penetrating said groove.
12. Cancelled
13. Cancelled
14. The device of Claim 1, which further comprises said insert including at least one fastener receptacle, and a accessory mount having a fastener commensurate with said receptacle.
15. The device of Claim 14, which further comprises a load spreader having said insert including at least one fastener receptacle, and a accessory mount having a fastener commensurate with said receptacle.
