ABSTRACT:
A support shoe for a pole or post, comprising an anchor member (1) in the form of a rod for embedding in a vertical position in a concrete foundation, and a fork-shaped holder (2, 4) for retaining the lower end of a post or pole that can be screwed or nailed to the holder's two vertical support plates (4). Each of the vertical support plates (4) is formed with a horizontal guide and fastening member (4a) disposed at a right angle thereto. Utilizing said guide members (4a), the vertical support plates are adapted to be movable and securable in relation to each other, for varying the fork width according to the dimension of the pole.
To ensure a maximum range of adjustment for the vertical support plates (4) of the fork holder and at the same time to permit readjustment of the support plates (after concreting) for orienting their planes in a specific direction, a base plate that is part of the support shoe construction is formed with two parallel guides (9), one for each of the two horizontal guide portions of the angular support plates, and the holder (2,3,4) and said anchor rod (1,1a) are detachably connected to each other via a screw connection (1a,3a).
