GROUND-ANCHOR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application flied July 5, 1911.
Patented Sept. 5, 1911. Serial No. 636,821.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAcoB WILoox, a citizen of the United States, residing at Amlin, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Ground-Anchors, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates more particularly to the sort of anchor shown in my patent of the United States No. 972,306 dated October 11, 1910, and can be driven into the ground without preparing a hole for its passage.
The object of the invention is to provide an improved construction of such anchor whereby it may be driven into the ground and turned with great facility to stand at right angles to the stay wire.
The invention is embodied in the instance of it herein shown and described, the features of novelty being pointed out by the claims appended to the description.
In the accompanying drawingFigure 1 is a view in elevation of that side of the anchor containing the wire attaching lug and also the wire and driving rod applied thereto with portions broken out. Fig. 2 is an edge view of the anchor also showing the wire and driving rod as before mentioned. Fig. 3 is an edge view of the anchor with portions of the wire or link and wire attached showing the position to which the anchor is turned in the ground with reference to the wire port-ions when the latter are drawn up with suflicient force to eflI'ect the change of position of the anchor. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the upper end of the anchor, the wire portions occupying the positions relativethereto indicated in Fig. 3.
In the views the character 5 designates the anchor blade which is made of a suitable piece of hard metal having a pointed or spear shaped penetrating lower end 5 and a serrated end 5". The end 5 is slightly curved to the sideopposite that containing the wire receiving lug said lug being erected on one side or face of the anchor blade.
' Said lug consists of an approximately semiconical body having a socket 6 extending into its base to receive the end of the driving rod and two parallel wings 6 extending upward from sald base adjacent the socket 6. The wings 6 are pierced to receive a pin 7 and on the ends of this pin is secured by heading the ends of the pin or yoke-link 8 of stout wire or rod. The semi-conical base 6 projects beyond'the connections of the yoke with the pin so as to protect said connections from the passing earth when the blade is driven into the ground and the conical projection makes said penetration easier on that account. The main stay wire is connected to the link 8.
The character 9 designates the driving rod. This is a stout bar of metal having an end adapted to enter the socket 6.
To drive the anchor into the ground the parts are associated as seen in Figs. 1 and 2 and proper blows of a hammer or mallet administered to the upper end of the driving rod. When the anchor has been driven to the depth desired said rod is withdrawn and the wire drawn upon upward thus causing the anchor blade toturn in the ground and assume a position at right angles to the link and stay'wire as seen in Fig. 3. The link 8 facilitates this operation because of the greater freedom of movement of the anchor permitted. In the turning operation the curved upper serrated end of the anchor controls the direction of movement into the position and after this has been accomplished the wire and link can be fixed in tense condition or as may be desired to the structure sought to be braced. The anchor can, of course, be driven into the ground in any direction and depth desired and practicable.
Some slight changes in the form of the parts can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.
What I claim is:
1. An anchor of the kind described consisting of a blade having at one side a wire receiving lug consisting of a semi-conical body having two ribs extending upwardly from its base and a socket in its base to receive a driving rod, and a stay wire connected with said ribs, said base extending laterally beyond the connection of said wire with said-ribs.
2. An anchor of the kind described consisting of a blade having at one side a wire receiving lug consisting of a semi-conical body having two ribs extending upwardly from its base and a socket in its base to receive a driving rod, a pin passed through said ribs and a yoke to receive a stay Wire said link hinged to said last named portion,
secured to said pin. and a stay Wire hingedly connected to said 8. The combination with an anchor blade link. 1
having a lug at one side including a tapered JACOB WILCOX. 5 portion provided with a socket to receive a Witnesses:
driving rod and a portion projecting there- BENJAMIN FINCKEL,
