Abstract

The threaded ground spike with adapter is a fast, simple and reliable securing means for temporarily erected building screens, batter boards, construction fences and the like. The ground spike is forced or hammered suitably deeply into the ground and the supports can be suited to the shape of and adjustable for height on the spike. The spike is removed by unscrewing by means of a counter nut acting against its head.

Description

Erdschraubnagel mit Adapter - 1 -Earth screw with adapter - 1 -
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Erdschraubnagel mit wenigstens einem Adapter oder Übergangsteil als Halterung für vorüber¬ gehend aufgestellte Verkehrsschilder, Bauschilder, Bau¬ zäune, Schnurgerüststangen und dergleichen .The invention relates to an earth screw with at least one adapter or transition part as a holder for temporary traffic signs, construction signs, fences, battering racks and the like.
Es ist bekannt, daß Verkehrsschilder und Bauschilder sehr windanfällig sind. Sie werden gewöhnlich auf dem Boden durch schwere bzw. großflächige Füße aus Metall, Beton oder Kunst¬ stoff gehalten, was aber oft bei starkem Wind nicht ausreicht. Außerdem sind die großflächigen Füße oft hinderlich und von der Handhabung und vom Transport her sehr schwer und großräumig. Schnurgerüste werden im allgemeinen mit schräg angestellten Füßen und ausragenden Erdnägeln befestigt, die eine Verletzungsgefahr darstellen und auch entsprechenden Platz beanspruchen.It is known that traffic signs and construction signs are very susceptible to wind. They are usually held on the floor by heavy or large feet made of metal, concrete or plastic, but this is often not sufficient in strong winds. In addition, the large feet are often cumbersome and very difficult to handle and transport. Batter boards are generally fastened with inclined feet and protruding pegs, which pose a risk of injury and also take up space.
Aus der DE-GMS 9316438 ist ein Erdschraubnagel mit einem Übergangsteil als Halterung für vorübergehend aufgestellte Sonnenschirme oder Wäschespinnen bekannt, wobei der Erdschraub¬ nagel aus einem angespitzten Grobgewindestab besteht und anhand der Anspitzung in den Boden eintreibbar ist. Das Übergangsteil ist hierbei rohrformig ausgebildet und auf einem Kopf des Schraubnagels angeschweißt. Für Geräte mit verschiedenen Schaftdurchmessern soll gemäß einem Vorschlag in der o.g. Schrift der Bodenhalter in mindestens drei Größen hergestellt werden. Abgesehen davon, daß also je nach Gerätegröße offensichtlich der ganze Erdschraubnagel gegen einen anderen ausgetauscht werden soll, erscheint die Stand¬ festigkeit dieser bekannten Vorrichtung vergleichsweise gering .DE-GMS 9316438 discloses an earth screw with a transition part as a holder for temporarily installed parasols or laundry spiders, the earth screw consisting of a pointed coarse thread rod and can be driven into the ground by means of the point. The transition part is tubular and welded onto a head of the screw nail. For devices with different shaft diameters, according to a proposal in the above Font of the floor holder can be made in at least three sizes. Apart from the fact that, depending on the size of the device, the entire earth screw is obviously to be exchanged for another, the stability of this known device appears to be comparatively low.
Der im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine schnelle, einfache und ans Erdreich anpaßbare Lösung für das standsichere Aufstellen verschiedenster Hal¬ terungen auf dem Erdboden zu ermöglichen. Die der Erfindung zugrunde gelegten Vorteile sind darin begründet, daß der Erdschraubnagel der Festigkeit des Bodens angepaßt tief eingeschlagen und die Flachmutter zur Stabilisierung entsprechend angeschraubt werden kann. Zudem können die verschiedenen Adapter und Paßformen nach den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 6 in Höhe und Form so variabel angepaßt werden, daß die verschiedensten Geräte, Stangen oder Pfosten schnell und einfach durch Einstecken oder Überstülpen auf engstem Raum stabil aufgestellt und wieder entfernt werden können.The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of enabling a quick, simple and adaptable solution to the ground for the stable installation of various mounts on the ground. The advantages of the invention are based on the fact that the earth screw adapted to the strength of the ground is driven in deeply and the flat nut can be screwed on accordingly for stabilization. In addition, the various adapters and fits according to subclaims 2 to 6 can be adjusted in height and shape so variably that a wide variety of devices, rods or posts can be quickly and easily set up and removed in a confined space by plugging in or pulling on.
Eine Ausgestaltung des Gewindestahls ist noch im Unteran¬ spruch 7 angegeben.An embodiment of the threaded steel is specified in subclaim 7.
Anhand der Figuren I bis V wird die Erfindung beispielhaft dargestellt .The invention is illustrated by way of example with reference to FIGS. I to V.
Die Fig. I zeigt einen in den Boden eingetriebenen Erdschraub¬ nagel aus einem Grobgewindestahl A mit Anspitzung a, mit einem Anschlagkopf B und einer gegen den Boden geschraubten Flach¬ mutter C. Über den Anschlagkopf B ist ein Rohr D aufgesetzt.1 shows an earth screw nail driven into the ground from a coarse thread steel A with a point, with a stop head B and a flat nut C screwed against the ground. A pipe D is placed over the stop head B.
Die Fig. II zeigt einen Anschlagkopf B, der zum Aufstecken eines Rund- oder Vierkaπtrohrs D in Form gebracht ist und der fest mit einer Hülse b verbunden ist, mit welcher er auf den Grobgewindestahl A aufzuklemmen oder zu schweißen ist.Fig. II shows a stop head B, which is brought into shape for attaching a round or square tube D and which is fixedly connected to a sleeve b, with which it is to be clamped or welded onto the coarse-thread steel A.
In Fig. III ist eine Führungsscheibe E dargestellt, die mittels einer mittig angebrachten Bohrung c auf den Erd- schraubnagel zwischen dem Anschlagkopf B und der Flach¬ mutter C aufzuschieben ist.A guide disk E is shown in FIG. III, which is to be pushed onto the earth screw nail between the stop head B and the flat nut C by means of a hole c in the center.
Die Fig. IV zeigt einen Adapter zur Aufnahme von Bauzäunen, der zwei Rohrhülsen F aufweist, die ihrerseits durch eine Distanzscheibe d verbunden sind, und der mit einer Gewinde¬ mutter G höhenanpaßbar am Erdschraubnagel angebracht' werden kann . In Fig. V ist ein Adapter H dargestellt, der auf dem Anschlag¬ kopf B arretiert werden kann oder mittels einer mittig ange¬ brachten Bohrung c zur Führung über den Erdschraubnagel ge¬ schoben werden kann. IV shows an adapter for receiving building fences, which has two tubular sleeves F, which in turn are connected by a spacer d, and which can be attached to the ground screw nail with a height-adjustable thread nut G. FIG. V shows an adapter H which can be locked on the stop head B or which can be pushed by means of a hole c in the center for guidance over the earth screw.
