ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a ground anchor and foundation support device for anchoring various structures to the earth, or for maintaining a desired alignment thereto, or to prevent foundation beams or floor members from sagging by providing support therefor. The device has a strong rigid central body section comprising at its vertical axis, an internally threaded attachment tube, and extending outwardly from the tube, a plurality of quadrilateral, wing-shaped segments, each having a diagonally shaped outer side. At its top, this side is close to the vertical axis of the device, then it flares outwardly to its bottom edge. This side of the segment is provided with an elongate socket which parallels its diagonal shape. A stake or earth auger, which is snugly encompassed by the socket, can be driven through the socket and into the earth. Since the position of each driven stake in the earth is diagonally outward and downward from the central body of the device, then the composite geometry of all the stakes is pyramidal. Also, the number of stakes may vary from two to six, or more. Thus, reasons for the strong resistance of the anchor (and attachments) to any upward or downward movement will be obvious. After driving the stakes, various fastening agents can be affixed or threaded into the attachment tube to serve the structures named in the application.
