Ground anchor and foundation support

An improved ground anchor and support device of the type having a body portion and drivable anchoring stakes affixed thereto wherein the improvement comprises:

• a body portion including:
• a centrally disposed elongate vertically positioned tubular core having a vertical axis and a height at least three times its diameter, and a plurality of vertically positioned flat substantially quadrangular wing segments which extend outwardly along radial lines from the vertical axis of the tubular core, each wing segment having a top, a bottom, an inner and an outer side, and being fixedly secured along its inner side to the periphery of said tubular core for substantially the entire height of both members, and having the outer side of each wing segment extending divergently downward with respect to its vertical inner side, and means forming an elongate tubular socket sleeve fixedly disposed along the outer side marginal area of the segment for substantially the entire length of said outer side, the width of the top side of the wing segment being great enough only to accomodate the top of the tubular socket sleeve, and the width of the bottom side of the wing segment being adequate to provide an outward and downward angle of the socket sleeve with respect to the core, said socket sleeve providing snug and elongate support means for an anchoring stake driven through the socket sleeve and diagonally into the ground surrounding the anchor body to secure the anchor support device against movement in the ground, and means on the central core for fastening other structures thereto.

A ground anchor and foundation support device comprising:

• a body portion having including an elongate tubular central core having central longitudinal axis and two or more substantially planar wing segments projecting laterally from said core with each of said wing segments lying in a plane common with the longitudinal axis of said core;
• means providing an elongate socket sleeve along the end portion of each wing setment spaced from said central core of said body portion and disposed to extend in an outwardly divergent direction from one end of said central core and the opposite socket sleeve to the other end thereof;
• the inner end of each wing segment being secured throughout its entire length longitudinally to the central core of the device and each socket sleeve being secured throughout its entire longitudinal length to its respective wing segment;
• said central core having a length a plurality of times greater than its diameter;
• and an elongate fastening means extending through each of the tubular socket sleeves from the end thereof nearest the axis of the central core through the bore of the tubular socket sleeve and beyond the divergent ends of the tubular socket sleeves and adapted for engaging the ground to hold the body portion against displacement from a fixed position on the ground.

A ground anchor and support device comprising:

• body means including an elongate vertical tubular core having a central longitudinal axis, a plurality of lateral wing segments each connected at one end to said core and each having means providing a tubular socket member along its other end portion;
• said elongate vertically positioned tubular core having a length a plurality of times greater than its diameter;
• said plurality of radially laterally extending wing segments each having its inner edge portion connected throughout its full length to substantially the full length of the tubular core and having the socket member along its outer edge portion extending downwardly divergently from the axis of the core;
• each tubular socket member extending along the entire length of the outer end portion of its respective laterally projecting wing segment and having its longitudinal axis disposed in a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tubular core and extending from a position at one end near the core divergently outwardly from the core at the opposite end of said socket member, said socket members providing means for receiving anchoring stakes extending through the tubular socket members adapted to be driven into the ground for fixedly securing the device against movement with respect to the ground.

A ground anchor and foundation support device comprising:

• a body portion including an elongate tubular central core member having a central longitudinal axis and two or more substantially planar wing segments projecting laterally from said core member with each of said wing segments disposed in a plane common with the longitudinal axis of said core member;
• means providing an elongate socket sleeve at the end of each wing segment spaced from the central core of said body portion, each of said socket sleeves being disposed with one end located adjacent one end of the central core member and extending divergently outwardly with respect to the core member from such one end to the opposite end of said socket sleeve;
• said central core member being secured substantially throughout its entire length longitudinally to the inner end of each wing segment of the body portion of the device, and each socket sleeve extending throughout its entire longitudinal length along the end of its respective wing segment spaced from the core member;
• said central core member having a length a plurality of times greater than its diameter;
• and an elongate fastening means extending through each of the tubular socket sleeves from the end nearest the central core through the bore of the socket sleeve and beyond the divergent ends of the socket sleeves and adapted for engaging the ground to hold the body portion against displacement from a fixed position on the ground;
• and means on said central core member for fastening structures thereto.
