ANCHOR FOR GUY LINES.
Application filed. August 1, 1925.
i. securely and rigidly anchor the guy line.
The anchor constituting the present invention is so constituted that it will not creep even when subjected over a long period of time to the heaviest strains.
Other objects and advantages reside in certain novel features of the construction, arrangement and combination of parts which will be hereinafter more'fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is a view illustrating an anchor in use,
Figure 2 shows how the ground is. excavated to apply the anchor, and
Figure 3 is a perspective View of the anchor member.
Referring to the drawings it will be seen that the anchor constituting the present invention is constructed from a single piece of sheet steel and has a base plate 1, the forward end of which tapers to a point 2. The base plate 1 is horizontally disposed in use and at each side it has integrally formed therewith horizontally disposed and rearwardly extending wings 3. In between the wings 3 an upwardly and rearwardly inclined body plate 4: is provided and at its upper edge the body plate 4: has a rearwardly deflected lip 5 integrally formed therewith. Centrally the body plate 5 is formed with an opening 6 to permit of the attachment of a rod 7 by means of nuts 8, the rod 7 being extended through the opening 6 and the nuts 8 being threaded on the rod and engageable with the opposite sides of the body plate. The guy line is designated at 9 and has its lower end attached to an eye 10 formed in the rod 7.
In excavating for the anchor an ordinary post hole 11 is formed and is provided at its bottom with a lateral enlargement 12. The anchor is then set in place with the base plate 1 and its wings 2 on the bottom Serial No. 47,525.
of the hole 11 and its body plate 1 engaged with the wall 12 of the enlargement 12. The rod 7 is extended through an opening 13 formed in the ground, as shown in Fig. 2. After the rod has been attached to the body plate the hole is filled up and the earth tamped in position. Vith this arrangement the body plate 4 resists the upward and for ward pull. The upward pull is also resisted by the base plate 2 and wings 3. The base plate 2 and wings 3 also prevent turning movement. Altogether the action is such that the anchor will not be moved even when subjected to the greatest strains over a long period of time.
The top nut 8 can be adjusted so that the eye of anchor rod 7 can be raised and lowered to different angles without changing position of anchor.
No special tool is required to set the anchor in applied position. An ordinary digging bar can be placed behind the body plate as shown in dotted lines in Figure 2 and when the digging bar hasbeen swung forward as a lever, the point 2 will be forced into the undisturbed earth and a plate 1 will contact flatwise with the wall 12. The stress on the anchor will tend to move the latter against the earth and not out of the earth.
I claim 1. An anchor including a fiat horizontally disposed base plate and an upwardly and rearwardly inclined plate-like body portion having a substantial transverse extent and having means adapting it for attachment 7 with the part to be anchored, said horizontally disposed base plate being provided with spaced Wings extending rearwardly beyond the base plate and rearwardly beyond the extreme rear portion of the inclined body portion.
2. An anchor constructed of sheet steel.
plate-like body portion having a transverse extent approximately equal to the spacing between the wings, said body portion having means adapting it for attachment with the part to be anchored.
HOWARD L. CURD.
