drive point 100 comprises two series of ribs, namely a series of outer ribs and a series of inner ribs. The series of outer ribs comprisesouter ribs 2 that extend from anouter circumference 14 of the drive point towards a centre axis C of the drive point. On the other hand, the series of inner ribs comprisesinner ribs 3 that extend from direction of the centre axis C towards theouter circumference 14 of the drive point. - In one embodiment, such as shown in Figures, a
space 8 between two neighbouringouter ribs 2, and also a space between two neighbouringinner ribs 3, is larger than thicknesses of said ribs. The thickness of therib - The
outer rib 2 is provided with aninner face 5 that is faced towards the centre axis C of the drive point, whereas theinner rib 3 is provided with anouter face 6 faced towardsouter circumference 14 of the drive point. - A
gap 4 is construed between said the series of ribs for receiving adistal end 10 of the tubular drivenpile 1, as shown inFigure 2 . Thegap 4 is defined by the inner faces 5 of the outer ribs and the outer faces 6 of theinner ribs 3. The profile of thegap 4 is selected such that its width W between the outer and the inner faces 5, 6 decreases from anupper end 11 of the gap to alower end 12 of saidgap 4. - The
drive point 100 may be manufactured from a metal material, such as steel. Manufacturing method may be e.g. casting, machining, welding, or combination thereof. - The
drive point 100 is dimensioned according to the dimensions of thepile 1. The diameter of thedrive point 100 is larger than that of the pile. In one embodiment, the diameter of thedrive point 100 is 50 mm - 150 mm larger than the diameter of the pile. In an embodiment, the diameter of thedrive point 100 is 100 mm larger than the diameter of the pile. - The diameter of the
pile 1 is typically in the order of magnitude of 75 mm - 500 mm, but may also range up to, for example, 2 m or 3 m. The wall thickness of the pile is typically in the range of 5 mm - 15 mm, but may, for example, range up to 25 mm. -
Figure 4 is a schematic side view of a detail of the drive point shown inFigure 2 . In one embodiment, the width W at theupper end 11 of the gap is in range of 1 mm - 100 mm, such as 3 mm - 30 mm, preferably 5 mm - 18 mm. - In one embodiment, the height of the
gap 4 in range of 10 mm - 1000 mm, such as 20 mm - 300 mm, preferably 30 mm - 100 mm. - In one embodiment, such as shown in
Figure 4 , the outer and the inner ribs have at least substantially equal height. In another embodiment, the outer ribs have different height (lower or higher) compared to the inner ribs. - In one embodiment, such as shown in
Figures 1 and 2 , theouter rib 2 is connected to ashell 7 of the drive point at its entire height, or at least the height thereof between theupper end 11 to thelower end 12 of the gap. - In one embodiment, at least two of the
inner ribs 3 are arranged to unite in the centre axis C of the drive point. In the embodiment shown inFigures 1 and 2 , all theinner ribs 3 are arranged to unite in the centre axis C of the drive point. - In one embodiment, number of the
outer ribs 2 is same as the number of theinner ribs 3. InFigure 1 , the number of the outer ribs (as well as of the inner ribs) is six, and inFigure 3 said number is nine. It is to be noted that the number may selected in range of two to ten, or even more than ten. However, the stability of the attachment may be improved if there are at least three ribs in at least one of the outer and inner series of ribs. - In one embodiment, the width of the rib at the
upper end 11 is in range of 5 mm - 30 mm. - In another embodiment, there are more
outer ribs 2 thaninner ribs 3. In still another embodiment, there are fewerouter ribs 2 thaninner ribs 3. - In one embodiment, such as shown in Figures, the
outer ribs 2 are arranged to be aligned with theinner ribs 3. In another embodiment (not shown), theouter ribs 2 are arranged an alternate way with theinner ribs 3. - As discussed above, the width W of the
gap 4 decreases from theupper end 11 of the gap to thelower end 12 of saidgap 4. In an embodiment, this decreasing of the width is realized by arranging theouter face 6 of theinner rib 3 to slant in respect to the centre axis C of the drive point. In this embodiment, theinner face 5 of the outer rib may be parallel or slant in respect to the centre axis C. - In one embodiment, the
inner face 5 of theouter rib 2 is arranged to slant in respect to the centre axis C of the drive point. In this embodiment, theouter face 6 of the inner rib may be parallel or slant in respect to the centre axis C. - In one embodiment, both sides of the
gap 4 are arranged to slant in respect to the centre axis C of the drive point. In one embodiment, the angle A is equal on both sides of thegap 4.

Figure 4 ) of theface - In one embodiment, such as shown in
Figure 4 , there is a bevelled section at theupper end 11 of the slant for easing introducing the pile in the drive point. - In one embodiment, the angle A is constant at least essentially all the height (in direction of the centre axis C) of the
gap 4. In another embodiment, the angle A may vary in thegap 4. - According to an aspect, the
drive point 100 is a part of an arrangement that further comprises a tubular drivenpile 1. An embodiment of the arrangement is shown inFigure 2 . Thedistal end 10 of the tubular driven pile is arranged in thegap 4. Thegap 4 is dimensioned such that thedistal end 10 of the pile is attached by wedging in thegap 4. - In one embodiment of the arrangement, the
distal end 10 is attached in thegap 4 such that there is apassage 13, in at least one gap, between thedistal end 10 of the tubular driven pile and aninner bottom 16 of the drive point. Thus, there is a route or passage under thedistal end 10 of pile that connects the inside of thepile 1 to outside thereof. -
Figure 3 is a schematic perspective view of another drive point. In an embodiment of the drive point, theinner rib 3 comprises aninner surface 9 arranged at a distance from the centre axis C of the drive point. Thus, there is anempty room 15 in the centre of thedrive point 100. -
Figure 5 is a schematic perspective view of a third drive point. In an embodiment, thedrive point 100 comprises just the series ofinner ribs 3 only, but not the series of theouter ribs 2. This kind ofdrive point 100 may have a light and simple structure. An example of this embodiment is shown inFigure 5 . - In another embodiment, the
drive point 100 comprises just the series ofouter ribs 2 only, but not the series of theinner ribs 3. This embodiment may provide a light and simple structure, too. - The invention is not limited solely to the embodiments described above, but instead many variations are possible within the scope of the inventive concept defined by the claims below.

- The drive point as claimed in claim 6, wherein the outer ribs (2) are arranged to be aligned with the inner ribs (3).
- The drive point as claimed in claim 6, wherein the outer ribs (2) are arranged an alternate way with the inner ribs (3).
- The drive point as claimed in any of claims 6 - 8, wherein the outer face (6) arranged in the inner rib (3) is arranged to slant in respect to the centre axis (C) of the drive point.
- The drive point as claimed in any of claims 6 - 8, wherein the inner face (5) arranged in the outer rib (2) is arranged to slant in respect to the centre axis (C) of the drive point.
- The drive point as claimed in any of claims 6 - 10, wherein both sides of the gap (4) are arranged to slant in respect to the centre axis (C) of the drive point.
- The drive point as claimed in any of the preceding claims, wherein the angle (A) of slant is selected in range of 0,1° - 60°, preferably 2° - 20°.
- The drive point as claimed in claim 12, wherein the angle (A) is constant at least essentially all the length of the gap (4).
- An arrangement comprising the drive point (100) according to any of the preceding claims, and- a tubular driven pile (1), wherein- the distal end (10) of the tubular driven pile is arranged on the slant surface, and wherein- the series of ribs () is dimensioned such that- said distal end (10) is attached by wedging on the slant surface.
- The arrangement as claimed in claim 14, wherein the distal end (10) is arranged on the slant surface (5, 6) such that there is a passage (13) between the distal end (10) of the tubular driven pile and an inner bottom 16 of the drive point connecting the inside of said pile (1) to outside thereof.
