View Patent ↗An anchoring device, system and method. The anchoring device, system and method can include one or more rolling hook devices designed to couple or be secured to a projection such as those associated with rooftops. The rolling hook devices can include an arched member and any number of wheels to facilitate positioning. The rolling hook device may further be coupled to one or more tethers that allow it to serve as an anchor or work in conjunction with any number of other devices that function together as an anchoring system.
1. An anchoring device, comprising:
a first axle coupled to a first wheel and second wheel;
a second axle coupled to a third wheel and fourth wheel; and
an asymmetric arched member, the arched member coupled to the first axle and the second axle, the arch member further sized and shaped to fit around and securely anchor about a roof eave, wherein the arched member includes a first portion extending away from the first axle at a first angle, and a second portion extending away from the second axle at a second angle such that a distance between the first portion and the second portion is greater than the distance between the first axle and the second axle.
2. The anchoring device of claim 1 , further comprising a wrap disposed on the arched member.
3. The anchoring device of claim 2 , wherein the wrap is one of rubber and a rubberized material.
4. The anchoring device of claim 1 , wherein the first wheel, the second wheel, the third wheel and the fourth wheel facilitate moving the anchoring device on a surface.
5. The anchoring device of claim 1 , wherein the first wheel, the second wheel, the third wheel and the fourth wheel are formed with a slide-resistant surface.
6. The anchoring device of claim 1 , wherein the arched member is formed of at least one of metal, aluminum, alloy, plastic, composite or wood.
7. The anchoring device of claim 1 , further comprising one or more reinforcement members coupled to the arched member.
8. The anchoring device of claim 1 , further comprising a trailing edge of the arched member that facilitates coupling the arched member to a tether.
