- The present invention relates to a ground anchor, and more particularly to a ground anchor including a number of members or parts to be assembled together and to be received or packaged in a compact storing status for facilitating the storing or transportation purposes thereof.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Various kinds of typical ground anchors have been developed to support longitudinal rods, umbrella, antenna, or the like, and comprise one or more auger blades for being driven into the ground when the helical shaped auger blades cut into the ground as the ground anchors are rotated by the typical installation drivers.
- For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,128,867 to MacKarvich discloses one of the typical ground anchors which includes a stabilizer cap formed integral with the anchor shaft that has the helical shaped auger blades formed thereon. However, the stabilizer cap may not be disengaged from the anchor shaft, and the anchor shaft includes the helical shaped auger blades formed thereon, such that the ground anchor occupies a great volume that is adverse for storing or transportation purposes thereof.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,328,273 to Kemikem discloses another typical ground anchor which includes a longitudinal support member formed integral with a longitudinal anchor shaft that has the helical shaped auger blades formed thereon. However, the longitudinal support member may not be disengaged from the longitudinal anchor shaft, and the anchor shaft includes the helical shaped auger blades formed thereon, such that the ground anchor includes a great length having the lengths of the longitudinal support member and the longitudinal anchor shaft added together, such that the ground anchor also occupies a great volume that is adverse for storing or transportation purposes thereof.

Theauger member 20 includes anaperture 23 formed therein and communicating with thedepressions 22 thereof. - The
shaft 24 may be engaged through theorifices 12 of theconduit 10, and through theaperture 23 of theauger member 20, in order to secure theauger member 20 to theconduit 10. The engagement of theprojections 11 of theconduit 10 into thedepressions 22 of theauger member 20 may solidly secure theauger member 20 to theconduit 10, for allowing theauger member 20 to be effectively or forcefully rotated or driven by theconduit 10. - The
auger member 20 includes one ormore auger blades 27 formed on the outer peripheral portion thereof, and preferably having different outer diameters, for allowing theauger member 20 to be easily engaged or cut into the ground as the ground anchor or theconduit 10 is rotated or driven by the typical installation drivers. For example, a driver shank 16 (FIG. 2) may be engaged into one ormore openings 15 of theconduit 10, in order to rotate theconduit 10 and thus theauger member 20 relative to the ground. - A
barrel 14 may be engaged onto theconduit 10, and includes aperipheral flange 17 extended radially and inwardly therefrom to engage onto theconduit 10, and to position thebarrel 14 on top of theconduit 10. Theperipheral flange 17 preferably includes a tapered orinclined surface 18 formed therein. - A
collar 50 is engageable into thebarrel 14 and theconduit 10, and includes abore 51 formed therein to receive alongitudinal member 60, such as a post 60 (FIG. 5) that is to be erectly supported by the ground anchor of the present invention, and includes one ormore ribs 52, such aslongitudinal ribs 52 extended into thebore 51 thereof, to engage with thepost 60, and to decrease the contact area with thepost 60. Thecollar 50 includes aslot 53 formed therein for allowing thecollar 50 to receiveposts 60 of different diameters. - As best shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the
collar 50 preferably includes a tapered or inclined outer peripheral surface, and preferably includes an upper portion having a greater outer diameter than that of the lower portion thereof, and greater than the inner diameter of theperipheral flange 17 of thebarrel 14, for preventing thecollar 50 from being moved beyond thebarrel 14 and deeply engaged into theconduit 10. Thecollar 50 preferably includes aperipheral flange 54 extended radially and outwardly from the upper portion thereof to engage with thebarrel 14 or theconduit 10, and to prevent thecollar 50 from being deeply engaged into theconduit 10. - A
stabilizer cap 30 may further be provided, and includes one or more projections orteeth 31 extended downwardly from the outer peripheral portion thereof, to engage into the ground 80 (FIGS. 4, 5), and includes acylindrical member 32, such as a cone-shapedcylindrical member 32 provided in the middle portion thereof, and having an inner diameter greater than the outer diameters of thebarrel 14 and/or theperipheral swelling 13 of thehousing 10, for allowing thecap 30 to be slidably engaged onto theconduit 10. - A
sleeve 40 is engageable into thecylindrical member 32 of thestabilizer cap 30, and includes abore 41 formed therein to receive the post 60 (FIGS. 4, 5), and includes one ormore ribs 42, such aslongitudinal ribs 42 extended into thebore 41 thereof, to engage with thepost 60, and to decrease the contact area with thepost 60. Thesleeve 40 includes aslot 43 formed therein for allowing thesleeve 40 to receiveposts 60 of different diameters. - As best shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the
sleeve 40 preferably includes a tapered or inclined outer peripheral surface, to engage with the cone-shapedcylindrical member 32 of thestabilizer cap 30, and for allowing thesleeve 40 to be stably supported or retained within the cone-shapedcylindrical member 32 of thestabilizer cap 30. - The
sleeve 40 preferably includes aperipheral flange 44 extended radially and outwardly from the upper portion thereof to engage with thestabilizer cap 30, and to prevent thesleeve 40 from being moved downwardly beyond thecylindrical member 32 of thestabilizer cap 30. - The
sleeve 40 preferably includes an innerperipheral shoulder 47 formed therein, such as formed in theribs 42, to receive theperipheral swelling 13 of theconduit 10, and to limit the movement of theconduit 10 relative to thestabilizer cap 30 and thesleeve 40, and to prevent theperipheral swelling 13 of theconduit 10 from being moved downwardly beyond thestabilizer cap 30 and thesleeve 40. - In operation, as shown in FIG. 4, the
auger member 20 may first be rotated or engaged into theground 80 by the typical installation drivers. Thestabilizer cap 30 may then be engaged onto theconduit 10, and may engage theteeth 31 thereof into theground 80. Thesleeve 40 may then be engaged onto theconduit 10 and engaged into thecylindrical member 32 of thestabilizer cap 30. The provision of theslot 43 in thesleeve 40 allows thesleeve 40 to be engaged onto theconduit 10 and to be moved beyond theperipheral swelling 13 of thehousing 13. Thesleeve 40 may thus be used as a positioning device to position theconduit 10 in thestabilizer cap 30. - The
conduit 10 may then be further rotated or driven relative to theground 80 by the typical installation drivers, in order to further engage theauger member 20 into theground 80, until theperipheral swelling 13 of thehousing 10 is engaged into the innerperipheral shoulder 47 of thesleeve 40, as shown in FIG. 5. Thepost 60 may thus be stably and erectly supported in theconduit 10. - It is to be noted that the
stabilizer cap 30 and/or thesleeve 40 and/or thecollar 50 and/or thebarrel 14 are separated from each other and may be separately manufactured, and may thus be received or packaged in a compact storing status for facilitating the storing or transportation purposes thereof. - Accordingly, the ground anchor in accordance with the present invention includes a number of members or parts having at least the stabilizer cap and/or the sleeve and/or the collar and/or the barrel that may be easily manufactured and that may be easily assembled together, and that may be received or packaged in a compact storing status for facilitating the storing or transportation purposes thereof.
- Although this invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is to be understood that the present disclosure has been made by way of example only and that numerous changes in the detailed construction and the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
