Abstract: An anchor device adapted for securing mobile, modular and motor homes, trailers, campers and similar units, having an anchor for insertion into the ground on opposite sides of the unit, and a strap, cable or other flexible member extending over the unit from one anchor to the other. The device is mounted on the anchor and has U-shaped body and a reel shaft on which the end of the flexible member is wound. One end of the reel shaft has a transverse hole and the body has a lug with a hole adjacent the transverse hole in the reel shaft. After an adjustment has been made, a pin is inserted through the holes in the lug and reel shaft to hold the flexible member in a secured position. A slot means is provided on the other end of the reel shaft for receiving a tool for operating the shaft to tighten the flexible member.

Abstract: An anchoring system for mobile homes, trailers and similar vehicles in which a rod structure extending over the top of the vehicle is anchored on opposite sides of the vehicle and a resilient means is incorporated in the rod structure for maintaining tension on the rod structure to maintain the rod structure firmly in effective operating condition. A strap structure extending over the vehicle is anchored on opposite sides and beneath the vehicle, by anchoring devices held by a channel iron in runners or other supporting surfaces for the vehicle. Straps may also be connected to the frame and the anchoring device so that the vehicle is anchored over the top and at the frame by a dual type system.
