Abstract
A ground-anchoring device for anchoring a pole in the ground, comprises a post formed with spiral threads at one end for threading into the ground; a socket at the opposite end for receiving an end of the pole to be anchored in the ground; and a pair of arms pivotally mounted at the opposite end of the post from a horizontal position facilitating the rotation of the post to thread it into the ground, or to a vertical position. The pair of arms include clamping elements movable to a releasing position with respect to the socket when the arms are in their horizontal positions, or to a clamping position when the arms are in their vertical positions to clamp the pole within the socket.

A ground-anchoring device for anchoring a pole in the ground, comprising:
- a post formed with spiral threads at one end for threading into the ground;
- a socket at the opposite end of the post for receiving an end of the pole to be anchored in the ground;
- and a pair of arms pivotally mounted at said opposite end of the post from a horizontal position facilitating the rotation of the post to thread it into the ground, or to a vertical position;
- said pair of arms including clamping elements movable to a releasing position with respect to said socket when the arms are in their horizontal positions, or to a clamping position engaging and clamping a pole in the socket when the arms are in their vertical positions to clamp the pole within the socket.
A ground-anchoring device for anchoring a pole in the ground, comprising:
- a post formed with spiral threads at one end for threading into the ground;
- a socket at the opposite end for receiving an end of the pole to be anchored in the ground;
- a pair of arms pivotally mounted at said opposite ends (a) to a horizontal position facilitating the rotation of the post to thread it into the ground, (b) to an upper vertical position to extend above their pivotal mountings on opposite sides of the pole when received in said socket, or (c) to a lower vertical position to extend below their pivotal mountings to provide a folded compact assembly for handling or storage;
- and clamping elements carried by said arms and movable to a releasing position with respect to said socket when the arms are in their horizontal positions, or to a clamping position when the arms are in their upper vertical positions to engage and clamp the pole within said socket.
