BENT BLADE SCREW GROUND ANCHOR

摘要

A ground anchor is provided for driving into the ground for anchoring or supporting a structure. The ground anchor includes a hub with a helical load bearing plate and a pointed ground engaging end having a body with a spade point blade extending axially from the body and the hub. The blade has first and second opposing spiral major faces and first and second transverse minor spiral faces that converge at a flat axial face to form the blade with a spiral configuration. The blade has a longitudinal dimension extending at an inclined angle with respect to a longitudinal center axis of the ground anchor so that the axial face of the blade is spaced outwardly from the center axis of the ground anchor. The leading edge of the spiral blade directs the soil to the leading edge of the helical plate of the ground anchor.

主权项

1. A ground anchor comprising:
a body having a top face and a ground engaging bottom face, said body having a center longitudinal axis; and a blade extending from said bottom face, said blade having a first major face, a second major face opposite said first major face, a first minor face extending between said first and second major faces, and a second minor face extending between said first and second major faces; each of said major faces and minor faces converging to a ground engaging axial face, said blade having a longitudinal center axis extending from a base portion of said blade to said axial face, said longitudinal center axis of said blade being oriented at an incline with respect to said center longitudinal axis of said body, at least a portion of the axial face being oriented radially outward of said first minor face and first major faces with respect to said center longitudinal axis of said body.
