Abstract
A ground mounting assembly includes one or a plurality of posts, each attached to at least one stabilizing plate or scoop pyramid. The post may be driven into the ground and then lifted to deploy plates into a locking mechanism, or driven into the ground by a pile driver with plate held in place, released, and driven further and deployed into a locking mechanism, or driven into the ground and double pounded inside the post to drive reinforcing plate into slotted winglets, or driven, double pounded and rotated to extend the reinforcing plates horizontally from the pole or pile. The post also can used as a mooring in harbors, lakes, or at sea. A system based on a double pounder pile driven mono pole, optionally extendable in length, is also described.
Claims3
A ground mounting assembly comprising a hollow pole with a pointed cap at the pole's distal end, wherein the hollow pole has one or more latitudinal slots through the pole wall from an interior cavity to an outside surface of the pole and rods protrude into the interior cavity of the hollow pole;
- wherein the pole contains a rotary mechanism for laterally deploying at least one stabilizing plate or bar and a central keyway;
- and wherein the at least one stabilizing plate or bar is attached to the rotary mechanism by at least one pivot point located within the rotary mechanism and the at least one stabilizing plate or bar is reversibly deployed by rotation of the rotating mechanism, wherein the rotating mechanism comprises a rotating wedge wherein the wedge has a top surface, one or more side surfaces with grooves or channels oriented at a desired pitch and count longitudinally around the one or more side surfaces and one or more angled wedge surfaces with the wide portion of the wedge closest to the one or more side surfaces and a key extension extending from the narrow portion of the wedge.
