  • Patent number: 9869177
    Abstract: The invention relates to an anchoring device wherein a positioning plate (5), intended for bearing on the ground surface, is mounted onto a hollow rod (2). The rod consecutively supports, from the positioning plate (5) to the free end (22), at least one helical force disk (6) then one helical penetration disk (8). Said anchoring device is characterized in that the rod extends after the helical penetration disk opposite the plate (5). Said anchoring device is moreover characterized in that a bit (4) is placed on the free end of said rod so that a first portion of the rod (2), capable of being screwed into at least one first ground layer, extends from the plate (5) to the helical penetration disk and moreover so that a second portion of the rod (2), capable of being anchored in a second ground layer, extends from the helical penetration disk (8) to the bit (4).

  • Patent number: 9097112
    Abstract: A method for anchoring a device in multilayer soil includes analyzing the soil to determine the depth, hardness and density of at least two layers of soils. The anchoring device is prepared for positioning by attaching a self-drilling bit to a bottom end of a hollow rod, attaching a drilling disc to the rod at a position above the self-drilling bit, attaching at least one helical disc to the rod above the drilling disc, and attaching a positioning plate to the rod at a distance from the drilling disc such that the distance from the bottom of the drilling disc to the bottom of the positioning plate is approximately equal to the depth of a first layer of soil. The anchoring device is drilled into the soil until the drilling disc rests on top of the second layer and the positioning plate rests on top of the first layer.

  • Publication number: 20120009022
    Abstract: It is provided that an anchoring device, in which a positioning plate, intended for bearing on the surface of the soil, is mounted on a hollow rod, the rod supporting in series, from the positioning plate towards the free end, at least one helical disc followed by a drilling disc, wherein the rod extends beyond the drilling disc opposite the plate, and a bit is arranged on the free end of said rod, such that a first portion of the rod, suitable for being screwed into at least one first soil layer, extends from the plate to the drilling disc, and such that a second portion of the rod, suitable for anchoring in a second soil layer, extends from the drilling disc to the bit.
