Abstract
A remote overhead anchor system for use at an elevated overhead position and adapted to be secured to a ring or similar anchor point includes a substantially U or C shaped hook with two ends, one of which is adapted to pass through the anchor point to secure the hook to the anchor point. A latch is pivotally connected adjacent the other end of the U and can move between a closed position wherein it engages the first end and an opened position wherein it is spaced therefrom and a spring biases the latch into the closed position. To prevent the latch from unintentionally opening, a lock mechanism is carried by the other end of the U shaped hook and engages the lever. A conically shaped receiver secured to the hook faces downwardly to receive the upper end of an elongated vertically extending pole. A manually operable remote actuator including a cord extending downwardly from the anchor substantially the length of the pole is adapted to first unlock the lock mechanism and then subsequently move the latch into its opened position.
