Ground anchor assemblies, adaptor assemblies, and pole assemblies

An adaptor assembly comprising:

• a ground anchor assembly to attach directly to a first underlying support surface;
• an adaptor plate sized to be attached to the ground anchor assembly in a ground installation, and sized to be supported upon a second underlying support surface in a second non-ground installation;
• a collar formed in the adaptor plate;
• a sleeve installed in the collar and sized to receive a post;
• and
• fasteners to fasten the adaptor plate to the ground anchor assembly in the ground installation and to fasten the adaptor plate to the second underlying support surface in the non-ground installation;
• wherein an aperture is formed through the collar, sized to receive the sleeve;
• wherein the ground anchor assembly further comprises:
• a base plate to be supported upon the underlying support surface, and to support the adaptor plate,
• a stake extending through the base plate for installation into the underlying support surface, and through the collar aperture into the sleeve,
• a helix extending from one side of the base plate for installation into the underlying support surface;
• wherein the stake extends at least partially into the helix to strengthen the helix;
• wherein the helix has a pitch;
• and
• wherein a distal end of the stake within the helix is angled relative to the base plate at an angle that is sized to match the pitch of the helix.

A ground anchor assembly comprising:

• a base plate to be supported upon an underlying support surface;
• a helix connected to, and extending from, one side of the base plate for installation into the underlying support surface;
• a stake extending through the base plate at least partially into the helix to strengthen the helix, and for installation into the underlying support surface;
• an adaptor plate sized to be supported upon the base plate and to receive a post;
• and
• a ring received in a depressed portion of the base plate.
