Abstract

An anchor point (1) for e.g. lifting and/or lashing down an object (2) includes a base (4), which is configured for fixing to the object (2) such that it is rotatable about an axis of rotation (7). The anchor point (1) also includes a retainer bracket (3) held on two bearing points (5) on the base (4) such that it is tiltable about a tilt axis (11) relative to the base (4). In order to prevent the retainer bracket (3) from getting stuck when a force is applied thereto, which may lead to a sudden and jerky turnover of the retainer bracket or even to fracturing of the anchor point (1) and crashing of the load, the tilt axis (11) is movable relative to the base (4). Preferably, a motion link (25), for example, is provided on at least one bearing point (5).
