Abstract

An anchor point fixture comprising 2 pivotably-joined opposing jaws form a rail slot between them adapted to receive a rail head with the rail passing between spaced-apart jaw lower portions, secured in a selective closed position to accommodate rails of differing cross section. The fixture is adjustable in size by means of a plurality of holes on a common arc on each upper portion of the opposing jaw, the holes spaced apart on a first jaw different that are the holes spaced apart on the second jaw to provide a wide range of finely adjustable close positions. A pin passes through a pair of aligned holes, one from each jaw. The jaw lower portions are massive to provide ballast and a center of gravity below the rail slot, and a D-ring for connecting a harness carabiner is affixed close above the rail slot, both to minimize binding as the fixture is pulled from the D-ring by a user. Slide plates also line the rail slot longitudinal with a beam placed within to maintain alignment of the fixture with the beam and to provide an increased sliding surface, also to minimize binding effects.
