Eyebolt

To lock up his family's baby carriage in the common hallway, he hammered a steel plate and eyebolt into the base of the wall just outside his front door. ❋ Marc Myers (2012)

He reached in and pulled the next section toward him, and, when it was out, Cork saw that an eyebolt had been screwed into the backside, which would allow it to be removed easily from the other side of the wall. ❋ William Kent Krueger (2010)

An eyebolt had been screwed into a stud inside the wall just above the bed, about three inches below the ceiling. ❋ Bryan Gruley (2010)

By attaching this turnbuckle to an eye-bolt that was put through the sill beam and clamped down with a nut and a large washer on the outside, and attaching one end of a big cable to the other, with the cable stretching to another eyebolt running through the opposite sill beam, I could crank the thing around and shorten the cable, pulling the barn together, I figured. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Eureka! by chaining patients to a eyebolt set in a concrete wall in a dark, cold setting, by denying them food, they lose weight rapidly! ❋ Unknown (2007)

So, I took the food from the servant who was chained to the eyebolt in the basement. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Lock bikes anywhere along the eyebolt between the anchors. ❋ Unknown (2006)

MILLER: Not using the eyebolt system, but restrained in that their legs were restrained. ❋ Unknown (2006)

To prevent any forward movement of her head, her neck was now immobilized by a locked leather collar that was fastened by a horizontal rope leading to an eyebolt in the back of the cabinet. ❋ William Kalush (2006)

The creature that had once been Private Wallace A. Jenkins sat on the floor with both wrists chained to an eyebolt located just over his head. ❋ Dietz, William (2003)

Then the boulder had to be drilled by hand, underwater, and a lewis inserted, a dovetailed iron eyebolt to which a hoisting rig of some kind could be attached. ❋ David McCullough (1972)

He did the same for my ankles, pushed me to one side of the room and attached my wrists by another length of rubber cable to an eyebolt on the wall. ❋ MacLean, Alistair, 1922- (1969)

I rolled from side to side, an instinctive animal reaction to escape from what is hurting you, but I couldn't roll far, Jacques had used a fairly short length of rubber cable to secure me to the eyebolt and I could roll no more than a couple of feet in either direction. ❋ MacLean, Alistair, 1922- (1969)
