ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a cable anchoring device in the form of a stamped metal blade-like part having a generally straight lower section and a slightly curved upper section terminating at its upper end in a point. The curved section of the blade contains an elongate tool-receiving aperture, the lower end of which is shaped to accept a slotted driving tool while its upper end engages the shank of the tool and maintains the latter in substantial axial alignment with the straight section. An integrally-formed dimple with a cable-receiving hole in it is located on the outside of the blade just underneath the lower edge of its tool-receiving aperture through which the anchor cable passes onto the inside thereof. Immediately underneath the dimple, but on the inside of the blade is an integrally-formed downturned ear beneath which the cable is passed preparatory to being crimped in place. The offset of the fulcrum where the cable passes through the aperture in the dimple relative to the upper and lower ends of the blade is such that a vertical pull on the cable following removal of the driving tool will cause its curved section to dig into the ground alongside the hole through which it entered while the straight section raises up and compacts the earth on the other side thus resulting in the blade ending up crosswise of the latter.
