ABSTRACT:
An anchoring device includes a hollow cylinder, a biasing unit, a shaft, a cam mechanism and a driven drum. The hollow cylinder has top and bottom ends, a cylindrical wall interconnecting the top and bottom ends, and a plurality of hook arms pivoted to the cylindrical wall. Each of the hook arms has a lower hook end which is extendible outward at the bottom end of the hollow cylinder to an operative position. The biasing unit retracts inward the lower hook ends. The shaft extends coaxially through the top end of the hollow cylinder and is movable axially relative to the hollow cylinder between a topmost position and a bottommost position. The cam mechanism is connected to the shaft. The driven drum is journalled on the shaft and has a lower end adjacent to the hook arms, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced and radially projecting push members formed on the lower end of the driven drum to push the hook arms outward against the biasing unit. The driven drum is rotatable with step-like movement by the cam mechanism upon axial movement of the shaft so as to index the push members relative to the hook arms.
