The ground anchor comprises an arm defining opposed first and second ends of the arm. The first end is pivotably and directly connected to the implement such that the arm is pivotable with respect to the implement. A spike defines opposed first and second ends of the spike and is arcuate such that the spike is operatively concave with respect to the arm. The first end of the spike is pivotably connected to the second end of the arm such that the spike is rotatable about the second end of the arm. The second end of the spike is adapted to be manually imbedded into the ground at a right or an acute angle with respect to the arm to, thereby, positively anchor the implement in place to the ground with pretension. | 02-20-2014 |

| 20090133337 | GROUND ANCHOR AND WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION PLATE FOR DECKING AND OTHER STRUCTURAL INSTALLATIONS - A ground anchor and weight distribution plate assembly includes a ground anchor member and a weight distribution plate member. The weight distribution plate member includes an opening formed therein which is sized and shaped to allow for only partial passage of the ground anchor member there through. During installation, the ground anchor member is partially passed through the opening in the weight distribution plate member and then driven into the ground. Compressive forces are exerted by the weight distribution plate member to compact underlying soil and provide a foundation for construction structures such as decks. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090165403 | Metal Fin Pipe Foundation Apparatus and Method - Disclosed are a metal fin pipe foundation apparatus and method for airport approach lighting and method of making, using, and installing a metal fin pipe foundation for airport approach lighting. The metal fin pipe foundation (MFPF) of the present invention requires a small 16 inch diameter hole to be drilled approximately 8 feet deep. The MFPF, in one aspect, consists of 16 inch diameter schedule | 07-02-2009 |
| 20100000164 | Turf anchor for use with a mailbox or the like - A turf anchor typically includes an upright and three or four spikes which are insertable into the ground to mount the upright above ground with substantial stability. The turf anchor may be pressed by foot or hammered to force the spikes into the ground and may be used for securing a mailbox or various other outdoor items. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100319273 | Metal Fin Pipe Foundation Apparatus and Method - Disclosed are a metal fin pipe foundation apparatus and method for airport approach lighting and method of making, using, and installing a metal fin pipe foundation for airport approach lighting. The metal fin pipe foundation (MFPF) of the present invention requires a small 16 inch diameter hole to be drilled approximately 8 feet deep. The MFPF, in one aspect, consists of 16 inch diameter schedule 30 pipe 6 feet long with two (2) ⅜ inch thick flat plate fins which are 6 feet, in length, and which are welded to the 16 inch schedule 30 pipe. A top plate 5 feet in length, 1 foot 6 inches in width, and ¾ inch thick is attached by welding the top plate to the top of the 16 inch pipe and the top of the ⅜ inch fins. After the MFPF of the present invention is completely fabricated, it is dipped in hot galvanizing to protect the raw steel. This coating of galvanizing protects the MFPF for 75 years. The MFPF of the present invention can be fabricated off site and shipped to the airport ready for installation. The 16 inch diameter hole is drilled, which requires soil being extracted from the hole, and the soil is placed next to the drilled shaft hole to be placed back into the 16 inch diameter pipe after the MFPF is installed. The 16 inch diameter pipe is used as the unction box for housing the electrical transformer to provide power to the structure to be mounted to the top plate of the MFPF of the present invention. The MFPF then is installed by pushing it into the previous 16 inch drilled hole, which acts as a guide to keep it perfectly straight as it is being installed. The structure of the present invention can be immediately erected and ready for use within 6 hours. The present invention eliminates large excavation, removes soil by trucking, placing of reinforced rods, trucking of concrete, and placing of concrete during off hours and requires twenty-eight (28) days for curing before the foundation can be used. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110047896 | Centering ground spike for supporting a vertical pole - A centering ground spike for supporting a vertical pole having an integral body with a top member and downwardly extending hollow main section. The main section extends down to a hollow cone shaped section to form a point. An elongated cavity is enclosed between the top member, the main section and the cone shaped section. An opening through the top member permits the insertion of a support pole into the cavity of the ground spike. The end of the pole within the cavity rests on the interior surfaces of the cone shaped section. The pole itself is maintained in vertical position by a locking ring with adjustment screws which are tightened around the outer surface of the pole. The size of the opening through the top member and the cone shaped section permit the ground spike to accept and vertically support poles of various diameters. In alternate embodiments, the bottom end of the pole will rest on inverted cone shaped walls which extend into the first cavity. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20120167489 | Anchor Post - Provided herein are methods, devices and systems comprising an anchor post that has a shaft, at least one stabilising element attached to the anchor post configured to resist movement of the anchor post, and at least one alignment element. | 07-05-2012 |

| 20130263532 | Device and Method for Straightening and Supporting a Leaning Pole or Post - A set of two or more wedge-shaped braces are used to straighten and support a leaning pole or post, such as a utility pole that has been impacted by a vehicle or a storm. A first brace is inserted and driven down on the side of the hole toward which the pole is leaning, until the pole is restored to an upright position. A second brace is then inserted and driven down on the opposite side of the hole to support the pole in the upright position. If needed, additional braces are inserted and driven down into the hole around the circumference of the pole. The pole can thereby be supported in the upright position without backfilling the hole with soil or stone. | 10-10-2013 |
| 20140196382 | SUPPORT POST STRUCTURE - A support post structure includes: a ground plate mounted on a support post anchor driven into the ground or a concrete base; a support post; a universal joint for tiltably supporting a lower end of the post; a lower support plate placed on an upper end of the post; a spring; an upper support plate; a bolt inserted through the lower support plate, the spring, and the upper support plate; a nut threaded into the bolt; and a rope hanging between a mooring part of the bolt and a predetermined position near the lower end of the post. The support post is brought to a standing state when the rope is tightened by the nut and is tiltable in all directions when a guard fence receives a falling rock or the like, autonomously restoring to the initial standing state when the rock is removed. | 07-17-2014 |
| 20150292228 | ANCHORING SYSTEM OF OBJECTS IN THE GROUND - A system of anchorage of objects in grounds, includes an anchor base provided with tilted guides for rods or pins to be inserted upon assembly; said base being rigidly connected or having a releasable connection with the object or the structure to be anchored to the ground; and said base being provided with tilted guides in minimum number of three; said guides having parallelepiped crossing section in such a way as to house a rod, each guide, presenting a corresponding section and being inserted when assembling the anchorage to the ground; the single rod having hollow section shape, obtained by folding a sheet of rigid material; the hollow section being open at the folding ends of the rod with a minimum distance equal or higher to a fourth of the length of the side of the parallelepiped section on which it is made. | 10-15-2015 |
