Abstract
An anchor device (1) with a base part (2) for attachment to an object (10), such as a load or a loading surface. The anchor device (1) has a connecting part (6) which is held on the base part (2) and can be pivoted relative to the base part about a swivel axis (4). The base part (2) has a bearing surface (8) for contact with the object. A snap mechanism (29), which has at least one snap position (30) along a pivoting movement (28) of the connecting part about the swivel axis, is provided. The snap mechanism generates a braking force (32) in the direction of the pivoting movement in front of the snap position which is reduced in the direction of the pivoting movement behind the snap position.
Claims19
An anchor device (1) comprising:
- a base part (2) for attachment to an object (10);
- and
- a connecting part (6) which is held on the base part so as to be pivotable about a swivel axis (4) relative to the base part, wherein the base part has a bearing surface (8) for contact with the object and the connecting part has an opening (12) for fastening of a fastening, lifting, lashing or tensioning means, characterized in that a snap mechanism (29) is provided, which has at least one snap position (30) along a pivoting movement (28) of the connecting part (6) about the swivel axis (4) and which generates in a direction of the pivoting movement in front of the at least one snap position a braking force (32) directed against the pivoting movement, the braking force (32) being reduced in the direction of the pivoting movement behind the at least one snap position.
