Description

The invention relates to a sleeve, in particular bottom sleeve and / or anchor and / or ground anchor, with an adjusting device for aligning, in particular for angular alignment of a rod-shaped object, in particular a mast or a pile, relative to a sleeve into which the rod-shaped object at least partially is insertable, wherein the adjusting device comprises a first adjustable holding device with which the position of the rod-shaped object is adjustable relative to the sleeve in a first plane, and wherein the adjusting device comprises a second adjustable holding device with which the position of the rod-shaped object relative to the sleeve in a second - different from the first level level - is adjustable.

Out EP 1 518 977 A1 For example, there is known a fastening system and method of alignably attaching a rod or post shaped article projecting from a surface. The fastening system has an anchoring device formed for example by a ground anchor with a holding portion for alignable receiving the object. The gap between the article and the holding portion is filled after alignment with a plurality of Füllgutpartikeln. The fastening system has the disadvantage that a once fixed setting is no longer correctable. In addition, the user has to cumbersome hold the object in the desired position while filling the Füllgutpartikel. This document discloses the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Out EP 0 842 342 B1 a fastening device for a rod or post-shaped object in the ground is known. The fastening device comprises a device for aligning the object with respect to a holding section, wherein a receiving part is provided for circumferential storage of the article, which has a rotatably mounted outer part and a in this outer part rotatably mounted, annular inner part includes. The outer part has a bearing opening for receiving the inner part and this a receiving opening for the object. The longitudinal center axis of the bearing opening is offset eccentrically to the longitudinal center axis of the outer surface of the outer part, while the longitudinal center axis of the bearing opening is offset eccentrically to the outer surface of the inner part, so that the longitudinal center axis of the object relative to the longitudinal central axis of the holding portion is adjustable and self-holding in any selected position. The fastening device requires disadvantageously in the axial direction a lot of space, so that the fastening device, for example, only very expensive and with much effort introduced into the ground, in particular screwed or hammered - can; because when introducing much earth mass must be displaced laterally.

a sleeve according to the invention, which is designed as a ground anchor.

Fig. 1 shows a sleeve 1 according to the invention with an adjusting device 4 for aligning a rod-shaped object 2, which is designed as a mast 3, relative to the sleeve 1 into which the rod-shaped object 3 is partially inserted. The adjusting device 4 has, in a first plane 14, a first adjustable holding device 5 with an eccentric bore 6, through which the rod-shaped object 2 to be adjusted runs. For an adjustment first adjustable holding device 5 is arranged around the longitudinal axis 7 of the sleeve 1 rotatably in the sleeve. The adjusting device 4 moreover has, in a second plane 15, different from the first plane 14, a second adjustable holding device 8 with an eccentric blind bore 9, in which the lower end of the rod-shaped object 2 to be adjusted rests. For an adjustment second adjustable holding device 8 is arranged around the longitudinal axis 7 of the sleeve 1 rotatably in the sleeve. The relative rotational position of the first adjustable holding device 5 to the second adjustable holding device 8 determines the angle 10 of the rod-shaped object 2 relative to the longitudinal axis 7 of the sleeve 1. The common position of the first adjustable holding device 5 and the second adjustable holding device 8 relative to the sleeve 1 determines the direction , under which the rod-shaped object 2 projects into the room.

Fig. 2 shows how by turning the first adjustable holding device 5 about the longitudinal axis 7 of the sleeve 1, the angle 10 are reduced to zero degrees can. In order to prevent jamming of the rod-shaped object 2 in the first adjustable holding device 5, the bore 6 is funnel-shaped on both sides outwardly so that the rod-shaped object 2 can be easily tilted in the bore. Similarly, the blind bore 9 is funnel-shaped, in order to avoid jamming of the rod-shaped object 2 in the second adjustable holding device 8. The first holding device 5 can be locked in rotation by a latching device 11 in the sleeve. The second holding device 8 can be locked in rotation by a further locking device 12 in the sleeve.

Fig. 3 shows a sleeve 1 according to the invention, which is designed as screwed into the ground floor anchor 13. The ground anchor 13 has an external thread 16.

The invention has been described with reference to a particular embodiment. However, it is to be understood that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the following claims.
