Abstract: An earth anchor has a thin, elongate base to facilitate its introduction into the earth. Strengthening ribs extend along its longitudinal extent on both sides of the elongate base. The distal end of an anchor strap is secured to the elongate base and a proximal end of the anchor strap remains above the surface of the earth so that it can be pulled upon when the elongate base has reached a desired depth. In a preferred embodiment, a water jet positioned at the leading end of the elongate base bores a hole into which the earth anchor is inserted. Pulling on the anchor strap causes the elongate base to rotate about its trailing end until it assumes a horizontal, deployed position. Items secured to the proximal end of the anchor strap are held firmly to the ground because the deployed earth anchor offers substantial resistance to displacement.

Abstract: An earth anchor is made from a length of tubing that has angle-cut ends and a pulling attachment pivotally attached to an axle attached across the tubing at right angles to the length of the tubing. The anchor is lowered into an earth bore in a relatively vertical position to be rotated axially via a pull-tension applied to link attached to the pulling attachment. Upward motion causes the anchor to rotate about the axle, burrowing into the surrounding earth until the anchor is lodged in a horizontal position in the earth bore. The link extends to above ground and has a suitable fixture for securing to an object to be anchored. A double-cone effect produced by the compacting action of the angled cut-outs and the continued upward pull via the pull rod, compacts the earth above the anchor in continually expanding cones, and fills the inside of the main body of the anchor with compacted ground.

A relatively simple protective barrier includes corrugated panels connected end-to-end to define an enclosure, a bar or cap mounted on the panels, a plurality of threaded rods for extending through the cap into the ground, an anchor for mounting on the bottom end of each rod, whereby, when the rod is pulled upwardly, the anchor engages the ground to hold the rod firmly in position, and a nut for mounting on each rod above the bar which can be tightened to push the bar and consequently the panels downwardly into the ground.

Abstract: One form of conventional earth anchor device includes an anchor which is driven into the ground as the leading element of a combination. Thus, the anchor must be streamlined to facilitate ground entry which is incompatible with the need for a curved body facilitating anchoring. Another problem is the need for anchors having large bearing areas which require considerable effort for insertion into the ground. A device providing a solution to these problems includes a tube or sleeve with a sacrificial blade releasably mounted in the bottom end thereof for driving into the ground, and a rod carrying an anchor and a spring biasing the anchor outwardly, whereby the sleeve can be driven into the ground, following which the rod is held down while the sleeve is extracted, leaving the blade, and, when the anchor and spring exit the sleeve, the spring biases the anchor into a ground engaging position. An upward pull on the rod pivots the anchor into a secure anchoring position in the ground.

The rods slide in the sleeves and ends of adjoining rods will abut under compression loads and separate under tension loads while still being retained in end to end relation. A string of drive rods is successively built up to be impacted successively from ground level.

Abstract: Cables are anchored in the ground by attaching one end of the cable to an intermediate portion of an elongated tubular member having a leading driving end with an internal abutment and a trailing end with an out turned lip on the side of the tubular member opposite the side on which the cable is attached. A driving tool inserted into the member drives into the earth in an upright position to a desired depth. The driving tool is removed from the member, the cable is tensioned to rotate the member in the earth about the lip into a position transversely of its driving position thereby forming a nonretractable anchor or support for the cable. Concrete slurry can fill the hole in the earth formed by driving the anchor into the ground with the cable surrounded by the slurry. A plug pressed into the hole compresses the slurry causing it to flow into crevices and pores in the earth surrounding the hole.

The cable is pulled or tensioned causing the trailing end of the anchor to plow into the ground forming a fulcrum to rotate or tilt the anchor from its upright driving position to an inclined position transversely of the hole and with the leading end remaining lower than the trailing end. The driving ram may be hollow and a concrete slurry pumped through the ram as it is retracted from the anchor and hole to fill the hole with the cable surrounded by the slurry.
