Multiple axis adjustable pivot bearing assembly comprising a floor mount assembly
An adjustment system comprising: a pivot nut comprising a pivot nut aperture feature configured to accept the lower portion of a pivot bolt; a floor mount having a slot in which the pivot nut is slidingly engaged so as to have a movement including forward-backward, side-to-side and rotational, the floor mount having a floor mount aperture that aligns with the pivot nut aperture; and a cover configured to mount over the floor mount and engage with the pivot nut so as to move with the pivot nut.
1. An adjustment system comprising:
a pivot bolt having a threaded lower portion;
a pivot nut comprising a threaded pivot nut aperture feature configured to accept the lower portion of the pivot bolt;
a floor mount having a slot in which the pivot nut is slidingly engaged so as to be movable in a forward-backward, side-to-side and rotational direction, the floor mount having a floor mount aperture that aligns with the pivot nut aperture;
a cover configured to mount over the floor mount and engage with the pivot nut so as to move with the pivot nut;
wherein the lower portion of the pivot bolt is adjustably connected to the pivot nut and wherein the pivot bolt is configured to be adjusted between a first position which allows movement of the pivot nut with respect to the floor mount and a second position wherein movement of the pivot nut with respect to the floor mount is prevented.
2. The adjustment system of claim 1 , wherein the pivot nut is square shape, rectangular shape, oval shape or circular shape.
3. The adjustment system of claim 1 , wherein the cover comprises a chamber in which the floor mount and pivot nut are located, the chamber forms a gap between the floor mount and walls of the chamber so the cover is adapted to move with respect to the floor mount.
4. The adjustment system of claim 3 , wherein the chamber is constructed such that the gap is configured to allow the pivot nut to move in the forward-backward, side-to-side and rotational direction.
5. The adjustment system of claim 3 , wherein the pivot nut aperture is sized to receive the lower portion of the pivot bolt such that movement of the pivot nut results in movement of the pivot bolt.
6. The adjustment system of claim 5 , wherein the floor mount aperture is sized larger than the pivot nut aperture so that the floor mount aperture does not impede movement of the pivot nut and pivot bolt.
7. The adjustment system of claim 3 , wherein the gap is at least 5% of a width and/or length of the chamber.
8. The adjustment system of claim 3 , wherein the gap is at least 10% of a width and/or length of the chamber.
9. The adjustment system of claim 3 , wherein the gap is no more than 20% of a width and/or length of the chamber.
10. The adjustment system of claim 3 , wherein the gap is no more than 15% of a width and/or length of the chamber.
11. The adjustment system of claim 3 , wherein the gap is no more than 2% of a width and/or length of the chamber.
12. The adjustment system of claim 3 , wherein the gap is no more than 1% of a width and/or length of the chamber.
