  • Roof attachment member for safety lines
    Patent number: 4249713
    Abstract: There is provided an attachment member for roof peaks to which a safety line can be clipped. A strip of metal is bent to define a central portion with two juxtaposed panels, and outwardly extending legs adapted to be secured to roof joists. The central portion has an aperture for the hook portion of the clip, the hook being flattened. The aperture is elongated, and is narrower than the width of the flattened hook portion, whereby the hook portion, when engaged with the aperture, is restricted in terms of rotation.
