Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ground anchor comprising an elongate body with a blind hole running in axial direction and an attachment point arranged on the elongate body, wherein the attachment point lies at a distance from the centre of gravity of the elongate body.
  • Ground anchors are used for long-term attachment of a cable or belt in the ground. These cables or belts are used for instance to anchor trees. Trees can be anchored, among other methods, by having cables run as guy wires from the crown of the tree and anchoring them in the ground. This above-ground anchoring has the advantage that the anchoring can easily be removed after a period of time, but has the drawback that the tree is statically anchored. This means that the tree top can hardly move back and forth, whereby the natural growth process of the root ball is impeded. In addition, the use of an above-ground anchoring is less aesthetic. Another way of anchoring a tree is under the ground.
  • ground anchors are arranged around the root ball of the tree, and tensioned between these ground anchors are belts which run over the upper side of the root ball.
  • the root ball is thus fixed while the tree top is allowed the necessary movement.
  • the ground anchors and belts must also be removed after a period of time so as to not adversely affect the growth of the root ball.
  • ground anchors are in the ground for a long time and are then removed again, it is usual in the prior art to make ground anchors durable.
  • the ground anchors are embodied in aluminium, or iron ground anchors are provided with a corrosion protection, usually by being galvanized.
  • ground anchors impede the root growth of plants if they are not removed from the ground in good time.
  • the ground will be contaminated because the ground anchors corrode.
  • the ground anchors hereby release for instance aluminium and zinc into the ground, and this is undesirable.
  • ground anchor is manufactured from a fully biodegradable material.
  • ground anchors no longer need to be removed from the ground, it is possible to use the ground anchors in more ways.
  • a ground anchor can in any case be used where a temporary attachment point to the ground is desired.
  • the ground anchor can be left in the ground, where it will degrade naturally in the course of time.
  • the ground anchor according to the invention can therefore be used not only for anchoring of trees but also for the purpose of for instance securing a beach tent or for providing an attachment point during work in the countryside.
  • the ground anchor according to the invention is placed in the ground by inserting a metal rod in the blind hole of the anchor. A cable is for instance further fastened to the attachment point. The anchor is then struck into the ground by means of the metal rod.
  • the metal rod is pulled out of the ground, wherein the anchor remains behind.
  • the cable is then pulled, whereby the anchor tilts in the ground and provides resistance, so that the cable can be loaded. This tilting is the result of the placing of the attachment point relative to the centre of gravity of the elongate body.
  • the biodegradable material is polylactic acid, starch or a combination thereof.
  • the attachment point comprises an eye.
  • a rope or cable can easily be fastened to the eye, after which the ground anchor is driven into the ground.
  • Yet another embodiment of the ground anchor according to the invention comprises at least one rib arranged in longitudinal direction on the elongate body. This rib provides for a better guiding during striking of the ground anchor into the ground.
  • ground anchor comprises a cable fastened with an end to the attachment point.
  • This cable is preferably of a biodegradable material, for instance hemp rope.
  • the invention further relates to a combination for anchoring a root ball of a plant such as a tree, the combination comprising:
  • Both the plate-like element and the cable are preferably of a biodegradable material.
  • the ground anchor can be left in the ground and so no longer need be removed, it is possible to secure the root ball of a plant such as a tree in other manner than is usual.
  • Using the combination according to the invention it is possible to drive a ground anchor through the root ball into the ground and subsequently anchor the root ball by arranging the plate-like element on top of the root ball and there secure the other end of the cable.
  • the advantage of this new attachment method is that the strength of the root ball is used and that there is no risk of a cable or belt sliding off the root ball, as is the case in the conventional method of underground anchoring in which cables or belts are tensioned over the ball.
  • the plate-like element comprises at least one opening for passage of the cable and a cleat for securing the cable to the plate-like element.
  • a root ball of a tree can hereby be secured quickly and effectively.
  • the plate-like element can optionally be embodied as a flexible net arranged at least partially round the ball of the plant. It is also possible to wind the cable round the root ball.
  • An eye 7 is provided on the top of elongate body 2 as attachment point for a cable 8. Cable 8 is placed through eye 7 and the free and 9 of cable 8 is clamped onto cable 8 by a clamping bush 10.
  • eye 7 is formed integrally with elongate body 2. This is advantageous in the case the ground anchor is manufactured by means of injection moulding.
  • an iron pin 11 with which ground anchor 1 can be driven into the ground is placed in blind hole 6. After insertion of ground anchor 1 into the ground and removal of pin 11 tension can be applied to cable 8, whereby ground anchor 1 rotates in the ground and the elongate body comes to lie roughly at a right angle to cable 8, as shown in figure 2 .
  • Figure 3 shows a combination according to the invention.
  • a ground anchor 1 Placed through the root ball 13 of a tree 12 is a ground anchor 1 which is anchored in the ground under root ball 13.
  • the cable 8 attached to ground anchor 1 runs through the root ball and protrudes from a plate-like element 14.
  • This plate-like element 14 is provided with an opening 15 through which the cable 8 passes.
  • a cleat 16 Provided on the top side of plate-like element 14 is a cleat 16 around which cable 8 can be trained and secured.
  • a plate-like element 14 Further arranged on a plate-like element 14 are four clamping elements 17 in which the free end 18 of cable 8 can be fixedly clamped.
  • Protrusions can optionally be provided on the underside of plate-like element 14 which fix plate-like element 14 onto root ball 13.
