Abstract: Anchoring devices for securing diverse types of structures to the earth or soil, or to rock walls and formations, such as are frequently employed for anchoring gas and petroleum-product pipelines, guy-supported towers, utility poles, large-sized retaining walls and building foundations, among numerous other types of application. In order to render each of the above-described anchoring devices more user-friendly and compatible with the environment, while facilitating the installation thereof in the applicable bore holes, drilled holes or earth trenches, while also reducing the production and assembling steps required in the manufacture of the various anchoring devices, a suitable retentive encompassing packaging structure tightly encases each of the anchoring devices which will maintain the components of the respective anchoring devices in their assembled pre-installed and retracted condition.
