ABSTRACT:
A compact, portable, self-aligning anchor for anchoring an emergency escape system to a building. The anchor is comprised of a thin wall hemi-spherical housing, a tubular rope guide extending through the housing, a short rope extending through the tubular rope guide and a carabiner clip on a distal end of the rope for attaching the anchor to the emergency escape system. The anchor is placed or tossed on to the floor of a room and the rope is passed under a bottom surface of an inward opening door. The door is closed, the distal end of the rope is pulled to self align the anchor at about a 45 degree angle with respect to the door and the rope is attached to the emergency escape system to anchor the escape system to the building.
