Anchoring assembly

A method for fastening a mat on a ground comprising:

• providing the mat having an orifice that is placed on the ground;
• providing an anchoring assembly comprising:
• an anchoring part presenting a longitudinal direction and comprising a body and a head, wherein the anchoring part is suitable for taking up either an insertion position in which the longitudinal direction is substantially vertical, its head forming a bottom end, or an anchoring position in which the longitudinal direction is substantially horizontal;
• a flexible line having a first end that is fastened to the anchoring part, the flexible line being designed to pass through the orifice;
• and
• a traction and blocking device including a gutter defined by a base and by first and second walls protruding transversally from the base, and an opening formed in the base through which the flexible line extends, the traction and blocking device comprising a plurality of ribs formed on the first and second walls while being arranged on either side of the opening, the traction and blocking device being configured to prevent sliding of the flexible line in the opening, the traction and blocking device being configured to take a first position in which the flexible line is configured to slide in the opening in such a manner as to adjust the distance between the traction and blocking device and the anchoring part, and a second position in which the flexible line is blocked in the traction and blocking device in such a manner as to prevent the traction and blocking device from moving relative to the anchoring part, wherein, when the traction and blocking device is in the second position, the flexible line has a first portion extending in the gutter substantially in a parallel manner relative to the first and second walls, and a second portion extending outside the gutter and transversally to the base, and wherein a force applied to the traction and blocking device when it is in the second position causes the anchoring part to pass from the insertion position to the anchoring position;
• engaging the flexible line in the orifice of the mat and in the opening of the traction and blocking device;
• arranging the anchoring part in the insertion position;
• pushing the anchoring part into the ground;
• placing the traction and blocking device in the second position;
• pulling on the traction and blocking device to cause the anchoring part to pass from the insertion position to the anchoring position;
• placing the traction and blocking device in the first position;
• bringing the traction and blocking device against the mat by sliding it along the flexible line;
• and
• placing the traction and blocking device in the second position by engaging the flexible line with the ribs, so that the mat is firmly maintained between the ground and the traction and blocking device.

An anchoring assembly for fastening an element to the ground, the element including an orifice, wherein the anchoring assembly comprises:

• an anchoring part;
• a flexible line having a first end that is fastened to the anchoring part, the flexible line being designed to pass through the orifice;
• and
• a traction and blocking device including a gutter defined by a base and by first and second slotless walls extending transversally relative to the base, and an opening having material around its entire circumference being formed in the base, the flexible line extending through said opening, the traction and blocking device comprising a plurality of ribs formed on the first and second slotless walls while being arranged on either side of the opening, the traction and blocking device being configured to prevent sliding of the flexible line in the opening, the traction and blocking device being configured to take a first position in which the flexible line is configured to slide in the opening in such a manner as to adjust the distance between the traction and blocking device and the anchoring part, and a second position in which the flexible line engages with the ribs so that the flexible line is blocked in the traction and blocking device in such a manner as to prevent the traction and blocking device from moving relative to the anchoring part.

An anchored installation comprising:

• a surface covering to be fastened to the ground, the surface covering having a bottom face configured to be directed to the surface of the ground, a top face opposite the bottom face, and an orifice;
• an anchoring part to be inserted into the ground;
• a flexible line having a first end that is fastened to the anchoring part, the flexible line being designed to pass through the orifice;
• a traction and blocking device including a gutter defined by a base and by first and second walls extending transversally relative to the base, and an opening having material around its entire circumference being formed in the base, the flexible line extending through said opening, the traction and blocking device comprising a plurality of ribs formed on the first and second walls while being arranged on either side of the opening, the traction and blocking device being configured to prevent sliding of the flexible line in the opening, the traction and blocking device being configured to take a first position in which the flexible line is configured to slide in the opening in such a manner as to adjust the distance between the blocking device and the anchoring part, and a second position in which the flexible line engages with the ribs so that the flexible line is blocked in the traction and blocking device in such a manner as to prevent the traction and blocking device from moving relative to the anchoring part;
• wherein, the surface covering presents a ground secured position in which the flexible line extends through the orifice of the surface covering and the opening of the traction and blocking device, and in which the traction and blocking device is in the second position and in contact with the top face of the surface covering, so that the surface covering is maintained between the ground and traction and the blocking device.

An anchoring assembly for fastening an element to the ground, the element including an orifice, wherein the anchoring assembly comprises:

• an anchoring part;
• a flexible line having a first end that is fastened to the anchoring part, the flexible line being designed to pass through the orifice;
• a blocking device including an opening through which the flexible line extends, the blocking device being configured to prevent sliding of the flexible line in the opening, the blocking device being configured to take a first position in which the flexible line is configured to slide in the opening in such a manner as to adjust the distance between the blocking device and the anchoring part, and a second position in which the flexible line is blocked in the blocking device in such a manner as to prevent the blocking device from moving relative to the anchoring part;
• and
• a run-over device that presents a convex top surface surrounding the blocking device and defines a spherical cap configured to be arranged around the blocking device.
