Anchored staff

Abstract

The present embodiments relate to systems, devices, and methods relating to a staff that can be removably engaged with a box, puck, and/or other attachments to facilitate a wide range of motion of the staff while engaged to the box or puck. The box can include multiple pieces including at least a top portion and side portions that can include one or more receiving portions (or sockets). The staff can include a circular end portion and a metallic portion at least partially disposed within a cavity of the circular end portion to allow the circular end portion to fit within the socket with a wide range of motion while engaged to the socket.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A modular system, comprising:
 an anchor body including a surface with a hole in the surface, a socket assembly mounted to the anchor body, the socket assembly including at least four fins attached to a flat base, the fins configured within the hole,
 wherein the at least four fins are resiliently flexible; 
   a staff with a modular end unit including a connector with a ball end,
 wherein the ball end is configured to be inserted in the socket assembly and freely rotatable within the socket and 
 wherein the ball end is configured to be removable from the socket assembly by deflecting at least one of the resiliently flexible at least four fins. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the anchor body is a disc-shaped puck. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the anchor body is a side of a box. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3  wherein the box includes a second hole in a second side and a second socket assembly mounted to the box second side, the second socket assembly including at least four fins, the fins configured within the second hole. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the staff ball end is rubber coated with a metal core. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the modular end unit is connected to the staff by a threaded screw connector. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the at least four socket fins form an opening, wherein a diameter of the socket fins opening is at least 97% of a diameter of the ball end. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7  wherein the ball end has 47% of the diameter protruding above the anchor body surface when inserted in the socket assembly, the ball end resting on the socket assembly flat base. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the at least four fins in the socket are between 0.3 inches and 0.6 inches in height. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the at least four fins in the socket are tapered to be wider at the flat base and narrower at the opening. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the staff connector having a tapered flange at a 30 degree angle from sides of the staff. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1  wherein a width of the socket flat bottom is 117% of a diameter of the ball end.
