Ground peg or anchor has two long arms hinged at the top stretching to a tip at the bottom curving slightly outwards in order to achieve firm grip when pushed into the ground

摘要

The ground peg is composed of two lengthwise stretching arms (1,2) opposite one another which are hinged together by a screw or rivet which forms the hinge (4) just under the upper end. At the lower end the arms form a tip (6a) to make them easier to push into the ground. The arms are shaped into a gentle curve along nearly their whole length apart from the top by the hinge, so that when pushed into the ground they curve outwards and brace themselves firmly in the ground. One of the arms forms a hook (3) at the upper end by which the peg can be pulled out of the ground.
