Ground stabilising device

摘要

A ground stabilizing device (10) comprises a securing arrangement (16) and a load spreading arrangement (18) on the securing arrangement. The securing arrangement defines a through passage (40) for an elongate article (12). The securing arrangement comprises a guide member (54) extending towards the passage, and a clamping assembly (38). The clamping assembly is movable along the guide member towards the passage to clamp the elongate article in the passage and secure the elongate article to the ground stabilizing device.

1. A ground stabilising device comprising:
a securing arrangement and a load spreading arrangement on the securing arrangement, the securing arrangement comprising a body defining a through passage through which an elongate article can extend, the body extending transverse to the load spreading arrangement; wherein the body comprises a guide member extending towards the through passage, the guide member comprising an internal wall of the body; wherein the securing arrangement further includes a clamping assembly movable along the guide member towards the through passage to clamp the elongate article in the passage and secure the elongate article to the ground stabilising device, the clamping assembly comprising a clamping member and urging means to urge the clamping member towards the through passage; wherein the body has distal and proximal end regions, the proximal end region being closer to the load spreading arrangement than the distal end region; wherein the securing arrangement further includes a reaction member to provide a reaction force to the urging means; characterised in that the reaction member being provided at said proximal end region of the body; and further characterised in that the urging means extends from the reaction member at said proximal end region of the body to the clamping member to urge the clamping member towards the distal end region of the body.
