A portable surface anchor for deployment on a ground surface comprising:
- a support frame:
- a first side rail;
- a second side rail parallel to said first side rail and spaced apart therefrom;
- a third rail parallel to said first side rail and said second side rail and disposed therebetween;
- a front cross member perpendicular to and attached to said first rail, said second rail and said third rail;
- a rear cross member perpendicular to and attached to said first rail, said second rail and said third rail;
- two first parallel cross members between said front cross member and said rear cross member, one of said first parallel cross members attached to the first and third rails and the other of said first parallel cross members attached to said second and third cross rails;
- two second parallel cross members between the two first parallel cross members and the rear cross member, one of said second parallel cross members attached to said first and third rails and the other of said second parallel cross members attached to said second and third cross rails;
- two intermediate parallel cross members are disposed between said two first parallel cross members and said two second parallel cross members;
- a rectangular container having a front wall, an opposing back wall, a first side wall, an opposing second side wall, and a bottom, and attached to said support frame;
- at least two pointed front teeth, each of said front teeth adapted for penetrating said surface beneath said surface anchor;
- first means attached to the front wall of said container for deploying said at least two front teeth;
- and
- at least two pointed back teeth, each of said back teeth adapted for penetrating said surface beneath said surface anchor;
- and second means attached to the back wall of said container for deploying said at least two back teeth.
A portable surface anchor for deployment on a ground surface, said portable surface anchor comprising a support frame, a container, a deployable tooth and a tooth guide, said support frame comprising a first side rail, a second side rail and a cross member in contact with said first side rail and said second side rail, said container in contact with said support frame and at least partially filled with concrete, said tooth guide comprising walls and having an inner perimeter, a top opening and a bottom opening, said openings and said inner perimeter telescopically housing and accommodating movement of said deployable tooth therethrough to penetrate said ground surface.
