ANCHOR TAND'BRACE. 7 l. r l I Specification of Letters intent.-
To all 'wlz am. it may concern Be it known that I TAINl-l, arsubject of the liingof Great Britain, and resident: of Levis, Province of Quebec, Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Anchor Posts and Braces, of' which the following is the specification:
This invention relates to anchor posts and locking devices attached thereto,-.and particularly refers to a type designed to be used as surveyors land marks, fences, anchor braces for telegraph poles, foundation bolts or posts for columns and glfnerally on all kinds of constructional wor where anchor osts are required, and the objects of the invention are to facilitate in anchoring posts or bolts in the ground, cement or the like in such a manner that they can not be extracted therefrom by an axially applied tensile stress and are only liable to be displaced by excavating, to simplify the construction and reduce the number of working parts, to render the several parts easily assembled and adapted tobetter perform the functions required of them and it consists essentially of the improved construction of anchor 0st and locking device particularly described and set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings forming part of the same.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a pers ective view of the improved anchor post roken in the center). Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the locking sleeve adapted to secure the anchor post in the desired osition. Fig. 8 is a view of the improved device (partly broken away) used as a brace. Fig. 4 is a. view of the improved device (partly broken away) used as a surveyors land mark. Fig. 5 is a view of the improved device (partly broken away) used as a foundation post or bolt. Fig. 6 is an'enlarged cross section on the line 22, of Fig. 1.
Like characters of reference refer to like parts in the several drawings.
Referring to the drawings, A represents the improved device comprising the anchor post 1 and the locking sleeve 9.. This anchor ost is formed with a circular stem 8, the ower end of which is formed integral with and extends from the apex of the circular cone 4 which in turn is formed integral with the downwardly disposed circular cone 5, the apex of which lies in the longitudinal I axis of the said post, such conical end being LOUIS Ems FoN- as a brace or a foundation bolt.
Patented Dec.8',1914.
Application filed May 4, 1914. Serial No.- 838,188.-
provided with .a plurality of longitudinally extenomg groovesfi in its outer periphery designed to form cutting edges with the said outer-periphery.
The upper. end 7 of the stem 3 is flattened outas showninFigs. 1 and 4. when the anchor post 1 is designed to be used as a land mark, while it is provided with an orifice '2' extending therethrough or a thread 8 when the said post is adapted to be utilized This looking sleeve is designed to slidably fit the stem 3 and is provided at its lower end with a plurality of longitudinally extending arms 9 formed integral therewith, such arms being provided with beveled lower edges 10,
the object of which will be made clear hereafter. When such an anchor post is to be used as a land mark or a brace as illustrated, in Figs. 4 and 3, the post 1 is driven into the ground to the desired depth. The lockin sleeve is now fitted over the stem 3 and driven into the ground whereupon the arms 9 engaging with the outer periphery of the upper cone 4 are spread or splayed outwardly. To facilitate in the driving of the sleeve into the ground the bottom edges of the arms 9 are beveled which gives a cutting edge adapted to penetrate hard strata. It will be quite clear that any axial pull on the post 1 only tends to further spread the arms -9 of the sleeve 2 thereby locking the said post more firmly in the desired position.
In Fig. 3 a tension wire 11 is shown attached at one end to the orifice 7" such wire being designed to be attached at the other end to the object it is found desirable to brace.
\Vhen this device is utilized as a foundation bolt or post as illustrated in Fig. 5, the locking sleeve 2 is fitted over the stem 3 in the desired position with the arms 9 splaycd outwardly, when it is firmly embedded in concrete. The upper threaded end 8 of the resilient material such as steel or the like which gives the necessary strength and permits of the arms 9 being suitably, s layed.
As many changes could be ma e in the above construction and many apparently widely diilerent embodiments of my invention, within the scope ofthe clai1ns, constructed -without departing from the spirit or scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying specification and drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting-sense.
What I claim as my invention is An anchor post of the class described'comprising a. stem having an enlarged lower end consistin of an upwardly disposed cone formed integral with a downwardly dis-' posed cone, such cones being provided with longitudinally extending grooves in the outer periphery, and being designed to be driven into the ground, and a sleeve adapted to slidably fit said stem, such sleeve being provided with a plurality of longitudinally extending arms in its lower end having the bottom edges beveled, such arms being dosi ned to engage with the outer periphery of the said upwardly disposed cone and to be splaved outwardly thereby, substantially as described.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in theresenoe of two witnesses. L0 IS ELIE FONTAINE. Witnesses:
JAMES Mrrounnn, RUSSEL B. SMART.
