ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for providing an anchorage between two members, such as a safety line and a support structure.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Various occupations place people in precarious positions at relatively dangerous heights, thereby creating a need for fall-arresting safety apparatus. Such apparatus typically require a reliable safety line and reliable connections to both the support structure and persons working in proximity to the support structure. An object of the present invention is to provide an improved anchorage suitable for supporting a safety line in a variety of installation environments and/or relative to a variety of structural members.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides methods and apparatus for anchoring a first member to a second member. A preferred embodiment of the present invention includes two brackets, two braces, two bolts, and enough threaded nuts to clamp the brackets and braces relative to a structural member. The components are configured to be assembled in a variety of ways to provide anchorages suitable for mounting on a variety of structural members. Additional features and/or advantages of the present invention may become more apparent from the detailed description which follows.
