ABSTRACT:
A post tip is provided for a mortuary cot. The post tip comprises a cup-shaped member including a bottom portion and a cylindrical wall surface extending upwardly therefrom. An elongated bolt extends upwardly through the lower end of the cup-shaped member and extends through a deformable cylindrical plug. The upper end of the bolt is threadably received by a plug compression member. When the tip is installed on the cot post, the cylindrical wall surface of the cup-shaped member embraces the lower end of the cot post and the cylindrical plug is received in the interior of the cot post. Threadable rotation of the bolt causes the plug to be deformed and expanded outwardly into engagement with the interior wall surface of the cot post. The Delrin construction of the cup-shaped member ensures that the lower end of the cot post will not cut or wear therethrough.
