Abstract
An anchor device (1) with a base part (2) for attachment to an object (10), such as a load or a loading surface. The anchor device (1) has a connecting part (6) which is held on the base part (2) and can be pivoted relative to the base part about a swivel axis (4). The base part (2) has a bearing surface (8) for contact with the object. A snap mechanism (29), which has at least one snap position (30) along a pivoting movement (28) of the connecting part about the swivel axis, is provided. The snap mechanism generates a braking force (32) in the direction of the pivoting movement in front of the snap position which is reduced in the direction of the pivoting movement behind the snap position.
