    Abstract: A Kinetic Infinity Mount System (KIMS) comprises an outer housing, first and second outer gears, first and second inner gears, two pins, two screws, two mechanical collars, and a fin box. The KIMS allows different reusable and removable fins to be mounted onto a surfboard or other waterborne vessels. The KIMS provides dynamic, simultaneous adjustment and setting of a toe angle and a camber angle of the fin. The fin box includes two screw holes at each end and four screw holes along the side. Users choose from multiple settings of positive or negative toe angle or camber angle for each fin mounted into the surfboard. Camber and toe angles, in both positive or negative directions, can be adjusted simultaneously or separately to the user's preference. The KIMS allows different types of fins by FCS®, Futures® or similar, rectangular based fins to be mounted into the fin box and adjusted to desired configuration.

  • Patent number: 10933956
    Abstract: A Kinetic Infinity Mount System (KIMS) allows different reusable and removable fins to be mounted into the cavity of a finbox of a surfboard or other waterborne vessels with the dynamic feature of toe in or toe out and camber in or camber out simultaneous or separate adjustments. Toe angle adjustment is accomplished by an outer, square, male gear which can be moved in and out of a female, circular track. At the back of the outer gear is the circular, female gear. Camber angle adjustment is accomplished by moving a front and rear male, circular gear in and out of the female side of the outer gear along the same circular plane as the outer gear. The KIMS allows different types of fins to be mounted into the finbox and then adjusted about its own axis and around a plane.
