Abstract
A securement system for a guy wire, the securement system including an anchor assembly including a guy wire coupler and a securement member extending axially outward from the guy wire coupler; the securement member defining an anchor axis, a securing assembly including at least one projection extending outward relative to the shaft; and a block receiving at least the securing assembly therein, the block having an outer surface, wherein the guy wire coupler protrudes from the outer surface of the block; and a base pad extending laterally outward from the block to define at least one channel adjacent to at least one side of the block.
Claims19
A securement system for a guy wire, the securement system comprising:
- a first securement member and a second securement member, the first securement member and second securement member extending parallel to each other and defining an anchor axis therebetween, wherein the first securement member and second securement member are spaced from each other to define an anchor gap, and wherein the first securement member and second securement member each include an anchor coupler portion and a securing portion opposite the anchor coupler portion;
- and
- a block attached to the securing portion of the first and second securement members, the block comprising:
- a base pad defining a first side, a second side opposite the first side along a first direction, and an upper surface;
- and
- a first portion extending upwards from the upper surface of the base pad and defining a first side, a second side opposite the first side along the first direction, and an upper surface opposite the base pad that extends from the first side of the first portion to the second side, wherein the first and second sides of the first portion are positioned between the first and second sides of the base pad along the first direction,
- wherein the anchor coupler portions of the first and second securement members are positioned above the upper surface of the first portion of the block.
A securement system for a guy wire, the securement system comprising:
- an anchor assembly including a guy coupler plate;
- a securement member extending axially outward from the guy plate, the securement member defining an anchor axis;
- and
- a block attached to the anchor assembly and the securement member, the block comprising:
- a base pad defining a first side, a second side opposite the first side along a first direction, and an upper surface;
- and
- a first portion extending upwards from the upper surface of the base pad and defining a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and an upper surface opposite the base pad that extends from the first side of the first portion to the second side, wherein the first and second sides of the first portion are positioned between the first and second sides of the base pad,
- wherein the guy coupler plate is positioned above the upper surface of the first portion.
A method of securing a guy wire attached to a guy coupler plate of an anchor assembly, the method comprising:
- providing a securement system including at least one securement member having an anchor portion and a securing portion, the securing portion defining an anchor axis;
- attaching the anchor portion of the securement member to the guy coupler plate;
- placing a portion of the anchor assembly and the securement member within a curable material and curing the curable material to form a block wherein the block comprises a base pad defining a first side, a second side opposite the first side along a first direction, and an upper surface, as well as a first portion extending upwards from the upper surface of the base pad and defining a first side, a second side opposite the first side along the first direction, and an upper surface opposite the base pad that extends from the first side of the first portion to the second side, wherein the first and second sides of the first portion are positioned between the first and second sides of the base pad along the first direction, and the guy coupler plate is positioned above the upper surface of the first portion.
