Abstract
An anchor device may be connected to a personal safety line used by a worker, who typically is wearing a safety harness to which the line is attached. The worker may insert an anchoring mechanism portion of the anchoring device into a connection point, then activate a locking feature of the anchoring mechanism to affix it to the connection point. The locking feature comprises multiple jaws which are coupled to each other and to the apparatus so that they expand when tension is applied to the connection point of the personal safety line. The worker, secured in case of fall by the personal safety line, may move about freely, but should a fall occur, the added tension on the personal safety line will increase the force locking the mechanism to the connection point, thus increasing safety. To release the anchoring mechanism, the worker disengages or otherwise unlocks the anchoring mechanism.
