Abstract
A roof anchoring safety device that may be retro fit to a roofing structure. The safety device is capable of being transitioned from an actuated state to a retracted state. When in a retracted state, the device is concealed. When in an actuated state, the device is capable of connecting to a safety tether. The device may be installed during initial build of roof an accessed in future for maintenance and or future additions therein. The device is concealed by a cap that is designed to prevent ingress of ambient matter.
Claims14
A roof safety device that comprises a cleft anchor, capable of being transferred between an actuated state and a retracted state, comprising an apex having a first leg and a second leg extending thereform that is slideably engaged to a corresponding first and second channel formed within a mount attached to a portion of a roof, and a cap hindegly connected to said anchor.
A roof structure having a region comprising;
- a truss;
- a mount connected to said truss;
- an anchor having a first portion for connecting to a safety line and a second portion that communicates with said mount such that the anchor may be transferred between an operating state and a storing state;
- and
- a cap hingedly connected to said anchor, such that when anchor is in a retracted state, a hinge allows said cap to match adjacent roofing.
A method of securing a line to a roof structure, comprising the steps of:
- displacing a portion of a roof surface such that a truss of a roof structure is exposed and capable of receiving a safety device;
- attaching a safety device to a portion of said roof structure;
- actuating said safety device so that it is capable of connecting to a safety line;
- hingedly connecting a cap to the safety device;
- transitioning said safety device from an actuated state to a retracted state;
- and
- concealing the safety device such that a finished roofing structure is impervious to ambient matter.
