摘要

For use in a fall restraint and/or fall arrest system, one or more roof mounted anchors are preferably permanently installed: during the initial construction of a building; during the renovation of a building; during the inspection time and/or maintenance time of a building; during installation and cleaning of roofs and gutters; during installation of antennas and cables, etc. Each roof mounted anchor has: a base member formed to fit a roof and having spaced holes to receive screw or screw like fasteners used in securing this anchor to the roof structure of a building; an integral upright anchoring eyelet structure secured to the base member in the center portion thereof and having an eyelet to receive portions of a cable, or hook; preferably a gusset integrally extending between the base member and the integral upright anchoring eyelet structure; and preferably the gusset has an integral cable receiving hole structure centrally located to receive and to anchor a portion of a cable. Then, when at least two roof mounted anchors are mounted on a ridge of a roof, and the base members of both are formed to match the ridge of a roof, and a cable, of a length to allow a limited sag, is positioned along the ridge of the roof and anchored at the respective ends thereof to the respective roof mounted anchors, the main anchoring components are installed.
