Abstract: The present invention is self-aligning connector having first and second support structures and a collar. In some embodiments the first support structure has a wedge, the second support structure has a wedge receiving structure, and the collar has a pointed lock. In other embodiments a lateral support structure is supported by a first support structure by means of an L-shaped support structure and a plurality of tubes. In these embodiments the L-shaped support structure has a triangular support piece designed and configured to be received by said lateral support structure. Slidable tubes with pins or receivers lock the structures together.

Abstract: A threadless, hammerless self-aligning geometric device for ground engagement, the device may comprise a wedge mechanism having a pair of laterally spaced holes in a first and second sidewall with a semi-flexible buffer that connects a plurality of load bearings that are axially aligned within the center of the wedge mechanism, wherein a pin that is formed integrally with an indentation is disposed in a rectangular mechanism having a recess with a pair of laterally spaced holes in a first and second sidewall so when fastened by the pin, the laterally spaced holes, the wedge mechanism and the recess are in substantial axial alignment, the pin being held in place by a mechanical fit between the pin and a knob.
