Problems solved by technology

However some structures are unsuitable for attachment of an anchor post or have been designed without the possibility of attachment of an anchor post so that operators in this environment are often unprotected against fall.
In a particular area where this is problematic is in that related to aircraft where aircraft design does not lead to the suitability of attachment of mounting posts.
Up until now, therefore, operators working in this environment have remained unprotected with the potential of serious injury or death.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]In FIG. 1 is shown a first embodiment according to the present invention which includes a base 10 and a support 11 for supporting anchors or receptacles 12 and 13 at a raised position above the base.

[0016]The base comprises a pair of side rails 14 and 15 extending forwarding from a rear frame structure 15. At the outer end of each side rail is provided a ground engaging wheel 16 for rolling over the ground supporting the base.

[0017]The frame 15 comprises a pair of rails 17 and 18 which are parallel and generally at right angles to the side rails 14 and 14A. The rails 17 and 18 are parallel and interconnected by a number of cross members 19 which hold the rails parallel. The rails 14 and 14A are attached to respective ends of the rails 17 and 18 so as to form a rigid structure. Some of the cross members 19 extend outwardly beyond the rails 17 and 18 and provide a support for a ground wheel 20 which cooperates with a ground wheel 16 in supporting the base for movement across the...

Abstract

A mobile mount for attachment of a fall arrest system. The mobile mount includes a mobile base, a support, at least one base, at least one arm and at least one anchor. The mobile base has a first side and a second side. The support extends upward from proximate the first side of the mobile base. The support also has a first end coupled to the mobile base and a second end. The at least one brace is coupled between the support and the mobile base to maintain the support in an upward position in relation to the mobile base. The at least one brace is slideably coupled to the mobile base. The at least one arm assembly is coupled to the second end of the support and extends from the support so as to be cantilevered over the mobile base. The at least one anchor is configured to be attached to the fall arrest system. Moreover, the at least one anchor is coupled to the at least one arm assembly.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 841,838, filed on May 10, 2004, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates a mobile mount for attachment of a fall arrest system.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Full protection of operators working in a situation where a fall can take place over a sufficient distance to cause injury or death is becoming generally required in most industries. Many arrangements are provided for mounting an anchor post on a structure adjacent the worker so that a personal fall arrest system can be attached to the anchor.[0004]Such personal fall arrests systems include a harness together with a cable system for attachment to the harness and to a suitable anchor where the cable system can be paid out to allow the worker to move to a required location but the cable system arrests any fall wit...
