<p>According to the present invention there is provided an anchoring device (10) for mounting a safety rail, walkway or other objects to a wall of a building having an outer layer (12) of masonry, stone, brick, cement or other material capable of withstand compression forces and an inner framework (14) positioned adjacent to the outer layer, the device including: a) a member in the form of a tube (11) having an internal screw thread which, when the tube is located in the outer layer (12) of a wall, can be accessed from an outer face of the wall so that an object can be attached to the tube and thus mounted to a wall by screw threaded engagement with the tube, and wherein the outer layer prevents the member from moving in a direction along a plane defined by the height and width of the outer layer; and, b) an attachment means in the form of a cylindrical rod (13) with an attachment plate (18) for attaching the tube when located in the outer layer to the inner framework of the wall so as to prevent the member moving in a direction transverse to the plane of the outer layer.</p> |
