ABSTRACT:
An anchor system for a hollow tubular support post of a starting platform utilizes a hollow tubular anchor body having a substantially rectangular cross-sectional configuration which is adapted to be imbedded in the deck of a swimming pool. A base plate is connected to the anchor body and has four upstanding projections with tapered outer surfaces defining four corner projections of a truncated pyramid which extends into the hollow tubular anchor body. The anchor body has a plurality of inwardly projecting protrusions adjacent the upper end thereof in each side wall of the anchor body whereby upon insertion of a hollow tubular support post having a substantially rectangular cross-sectional configuration complementary to the cross-sectional configuration of the anchor body, internal surfaces of a lower end of the support post will slide over the four upstanding projections on the base member in frictional contact with the tapered outer surfaces thereof and with the inwardly projecting protuberances disposed in frictional engagement with the outer surfaces of the hollow tubular post.
