Abstract
An anchor member for mounting a tarpaulin to a bearing structure includes: a shaft; an obliquely arranged transverse pin located at a first end of the shaft; a rod member protruding from the shaft and having a first hook-shaped protrusion at an end thereof; and a double hook located at a second end of the shaft. The double hook includes two hook arms positioned on opposite sides of the shaft, and each of the hook arms has an opening. One hook arm includes a second hook-shaped protrusion that engages the first hook-shaped protrusion of the rod member to thereby form a spring lock that completely closes the opening of the first hook arm. In use, an elastic band connects the anchor member with a bearing construction, wherein the elastic band, when mounted, is received in the openings of the hook arms of the anchor member.
Claims4
An anchor device, comprising:
- a substantially anchor-shaped anchor member including:
- a shaft portion extending in a longitudinal direction and having a first end and a second end,
- a transverse pin located at the first end of the shaft portion and obliquely positioned relative to the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion, the transverse pin being connected with the shaft portion by means of a resilient hinge joint,
- a rod member protruding from the shaft portion at a location between the first end and the second end, wherein the rod member has a first hook-shaped protrusion at an end thereof, and
- a double hook located at the second end of the shaft portion, the double hook including a first hook arm and a second hook arm positioned on opposite sides of the shaft portion, each of the hook arms having an opening, wherein an end of the first hook arm includes a second hook-shaped protrusion,
- wherein the first hook-shaped protrusion of the rod member engages the second hook-shaped protrusion of the first hook arm to thereby form a spring lock that completely closes the opening of the first hook arm;
- and
- an elastic band for connecting the anchor member with a bearing construction, wherein the elastic band, when mounted, is received in the openings of the hook arms of the anchor member.
A substantially anchor-shaped anchor member, comprising:
- a shaft portion extending in a longitudinal direction and having a first end and a second end;
- a transverse pin located at the first end of the shaft portion and obliquely positioned relative to the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion, the transverse pin being connected with the shaft portion by means of a resilient hinge joint;
- a rod member protruding from the shaft portion at a location between the first end and the second end, wherein the rod member has a first hook-shaped protrusion at an end thereof;
- and
- a double hook located at the second end of the shaft portion, the double hook including a first hook arm and a second hook arm positioned on opposite sides of the shaft portion, each of the hook arms having an opening, wherein an end of the first hook arm includes a second hook-shaped protrusion,
- wherein the first hook-shaped protrusion of the rod member engages the second hook-shaped protrusion of the first hook arm to thereby form a spring lock that completely closes the opening of the first hook arm.
