Abstract:
1. An anchor bolt for temporarily attaching to a structure having an anchoring aperture therein or therethrough, to provide fall protection to a user, the anchor bolt comprising: an elongate flexible member defining, along its length, an elongate axis, and having first and second ends; an anchoring device connected to said flexible member at said first end, said anchoring device being adapted so that, by use of manual manipulation that is either direct or remote, the user can cause said anchoring device to adopt at least two different configurations or orientations, a relatively contracted or narrow configuration or orientation in which said anchoring device is effectively dimensionally suitable for manual insertion into or through the aperture, and a relatively expanded or bluff configuration or orientation in which said anchoring device is effectively dimensionally unsuitable for removal from or through the aperture without substantial resistance; and a handle member pivotally attached to said second end, for pivoting about the elongate axis as it extends from said second end.
