ABSTRACT:
A pipe anchoring structure adapted to firmly and securely support a pipe relative to undisturbed earth. The device includes a stake body portion adapted to be driven into the ground. The stake body portion carries a pair of adjustable clamping members adapted to engage opposed surfaces of a pipe. Each of the clamping members can be firmly secured to the stake body portion when the pipe has been aligned and positioned in a desired orientation. Additionally, each of the clamping members includes a plurality of concentric circular arc cutout portions to define a recess in one end thereof, the opposed recesses of the respective clamping members adapted to be positioned on opposite sides of a pipe. Laterally outer portions of the clamping members are held against relative rotation by an outboard support rod that passes through each of the clamping members and that includes a head end at one end and a plurality of axially spaced circumferential grooves to receive a circlip in an appropriate groove to limit movement of the support rod relative to the clamping members. Preferably, the elements of the invention are made from plastic material for convenience, low cost, and light weight, and the clamping members portions can be secured to the stake body portion mechanically, such as by connecting screws, and also by means of adhesive connections, such as solvent sealing or gluing.
