A fall arrest roof mount anchor comprising a mounting plate having a uniform cross-section defining:
- a raised central portion;
- side portions for roof attachment;
- and
- an anchor bolt, wherein:
- the raised central portion has a swivel eye anchor point;
- the mounting plate further comprises channel wall portions independent of the raised central portion and the side portions, the channel wall portions projecting from an under surface of the raised central portion, thereby defining a channel extending along the under surface of the raised central portion and coinciding with the swivel eye anchor point;
- the channel wall portions project parallel to each other from the under surface of the raised central portion;
- the anchor point has a hole through an upper surface of the raised central portion into the channel thereunderneath;
- the anchor bolt extends through the hole and wherein the channel captures a locknut therefor, the channel preventing free rotation of the locknut;
- and
- the side portions being directly attached to and extending continuously from the raised central portion.
A fall arrest roof mount anchor comprising a mounting plate having a uniform cross-section defining:
- a raised central portion;
- and
- side portions for roof attachment, and wherein:
- the raised central portion has a swivel eye anchor point;
- the mounting plate further comprises channel wall portions independent of the raised central portion and the side portions, the channel wall portions projecting from an under surface of the raised central portion, thereby defining a channel extending along the under surface of the raised central portion and coinciding with the swivel eye anchor point;
- and
- the mounting plate comprises a matrix of elongate stress relief cut-outs surrounding the swivel eye anchor point, and wherein the stress relief cut-outs arc concentrically around the swivel eye anchor point, and ends of radially adjacent stress relief cut-outs overlap.
A fall arrest roof mount anchor comprising a mounting plate having a uniform cross-section defining:
- a raised central portion;
- side portions for roof attachment;
- and
- a lanyard connector attached to the raised central portion, and wherein:
- the raised central portion has a swivel eye anchor point;
- the mounting plate further comprises channel wall portions independent of the raised central portion and the side portions, the channel wall portions projecting from an under surface of the raised central portion, thereby defining a channel extending along the under surface of the raised central portion and coinciding with the swivel eye anchor point;
- the lanyard connector swivels about the swivel eye anchor point;
- a distal end of the lanyard connector has an eyelet;
- and
- the lanyard connector comprises a swivel eye anchor plate which bends upwardly towards the distal end.
