ABSTRACT:
A soccer goal anchor device used for securing a soccer goal in place and a method for installing the anchor device. The anchor device is used for engaging a portion of a soccer goal frame and securing the frame on top of a ground surface. The anchor device can also be used with other types of goals used on a playing field and other outdoor portable equipment. Also, the anchor device prevents the soccer goal frame from pivoting and falling onto a ground surface or the frame from being moved on the ground surface. The anchor device includes an auger for screwing into the ground surface. An upper end of the anchor device includes a clevis. The clevis is dimensioned to conform to different annular and angular cross-sections of goal frames for a snug and secure fit therearound. The clevis includes two upwardly extending flanges for receiving a portion of the soccer goal frame therebetween. The two flanges of the clevis include holes therein for receiving a nut and bolt, locking device or the like to secure the frame inside the clevis. Two or more of the anchor devices can be used for securing the soccer goal frame. The anchor devices are readily adaptable to different sizes of soccer goal frames and can be quickly installed for safety and security on a soccer playing field.
