Just use flush mount internal thread expanding concrete anchors. They
are quick and easy to install. I mounted a vise stand in my garage
floor with them several years ago and have had no problems. If you
want to see what they look like, check these part number on
McMaster-Carr's website: 97045A035 or 97083A350. When you remove the
mounting bolts there is no trip hazard.

But they do collect trash. Best to put a philister head bolt in it
during the time its not in use

The two highest achievements of the human mind are the twin concepts of "loyalty" and "duty."
Whenever these twin concepts fall into disrepute -- get out of there fast! You may possibly
save yourself, but it is too late to save that society. It is doomed. " Lazarus Long

Fillister heads [1] would stick up more than flat [2,3] or
some others [2]. Set the anchor a few mm below floor level
and use a short flat-head socket bolt.
