ABSTRACT:
The ground anchor of the invention is used for winching vehicles from mud, river beds, sand embankments and the like and up rough terrain, such as hills and mountains. The anchor includes a blade with a sharp ground-engaging point, a cantilever post preferably releasably connected to the center of the blade, as by post tabs in slots in the blade, and locked in place by a latch arm with a hook. The anchor also includes an elongated tongue pivotally connected to the end of the post which is remote from the blade and which extends in the same direction as the point of the blade. The tongue has at its free end a connector to retain a winch cable. Tension linkage is pivotably connected to the mid portion of the post and to the remote end of the tongue and extends generally in the direction of the point. The anchor includes a support brace in the form of a truncated triangle with cross bar and diverging depending ground-engaging legs. The brace is releasable pivotally connected through the crossbar to the upper surface of the post by a spring clip. The brace serves to hold the blade upright in ground-engagable position. The anchor is compact, relatively light in weight and efficient.
