A hydraulic setting tool assembly for setting earth anchor and foundation devices comprising side-by-side hydraulic motive members. Each motive members comprises a piston movable within a cylinder. The piston has a piston arm extending out of the cylinder. Movement of a piston under the pressure of hydraulic fluid causes the associated piston arm to extend from or retract into its associated cylinder. A piston arm bearing plate is secured to the extended ends of the piston arms. A cylinder bearing plate is secured to the base of the cylinders. The bearing plates are parallel to each other and an opening is provided in each of the plates midway between the motors so that said openings are aligned for the passage of a threaded rod therethrough. An adjustable nut on the rod restrains one of the bearing plates against movement along the rod while the other bearing plate can move relative to the rod to force an earth anchor or foundation device into the earth.
In combination, an extendable hydraulic setting tool assembly and an earth anchor or foundation device, said setting tool assembly comprising side-by-side spaced apart hydraulic motive means, each of said motive means comprising a piston movable within a cylinder with said piston having a piston arm extending out of said cylinder, movement of each piston causing the associated piston arm to extend away from or retract into its associated cylinder, a cylinder bearing plate secured to the base of said cylinders, a piston arm bearing plate secured to the extended ends of said piston arms, entry means in each of said cylinders for charging hydraulic fluid thereto, entry of said fluid causing said piston arms to extend outwardly from said cylinders, said bearing plates being parallel to each other, a first bearing plate opening disposed in said cylinder bearing plate midway between said cylinders, a second bearing plate opening disposed on said piston arm bearing plate midway between said piston arms, said first and said second openings aligned with each other for the passage of a rod therethrough, said assembly adapted so that a change in hydraulic fluid pressure in said cylinders changes the distance between said bearing plates;
