ABSTRACT:
The invention is an article of manufacture that has for its purpose, the anchoring of a pole, tube or rod in sand or other sediments. The principal anchoring element is a broad flange auger having a receptacle mounted on top of the auger for insertion of the bottom portion of the pole, tube, or rod, which is to be supported by the anchoring device. When not in use, and during transport to the location of use, the auger is covered by a tubular sheath, which covers the auger up to the receptacle on top, as a protection against the sharp edges of the auger. When removed from the auger, the sheath is used as a handle for turning the auger by use of a locking system that attaches the sheath or handle to the receptacle at the top of the auger. As the handle turns the auger, the auger penetrates the sediments, providing a stable anchor for the pole, tube, or rod. The round pointed end of the sheath may also be used for creating a starter hole in the beach sand or ground surface to begin the operation of the auger.
