A post stabilization system which uses components which allow for both pushing and pulling forces to be applied to a workpiece in situ. The system uses the ground as an anchor point to stabilize a workpiece being installed. A force application member is connected to an anchoring device at one end. The opposing end of the force application member is an abutment member for applying a stabilizing force to a pole or other vertically oriented workpiece. An adjustment/tensioning member is applied between the anchoring device and the abutment member to allow for adjusting the angle of the workpiece by applying either pushing or pulling forces to the workpiece.

A land anchor is disclosed for pulling an immobilized vehicle out of the mud or snow. The land anchor includes a pull bar which is reversibly connectable or linkable to a bucket by passing the pull bar through a slot in the bucket. The bucket portion of the anchor includes a blade which can be driven into the ground and then removed from the ground once the vehicle has been freed. A connecting end of the pull bar engages the bucket and prevents the pull bar from passing completely through the slot, and can include lateral wings for added strength. The land anchor can be positioned, anchored, and operated by a single person with assistance from a winch and cable assembly to move the immobilized vehicle to a solid area of ground.

The present invention aims to provide an interlocking stabilization system (100) for stabilizing slope, unrestrained earth or the like. Accordingly, the interlocking stabilization system (100) includes: a) a compressed bearing plate (110); b) at least one earth anchor (150) having a plurality of extendable pivotally hinged wings (152) penetrated to a predetermined depth and in communication with the compressed bearing plate (110) through a tendon bar/wire (160); wherein the compressed bearing plate (110) is adapted to be compressed and advanced toward the at least one earth anchor (150) through the tendon bar/wire (160), such that a reflective frustum cone or compact soil reaction (112) is formed thereof; wherein the plurality of extendable pivotally hinged wings (152) of the at least one earth anchor (150) is able to extend outwardly to an angle as the earth anchor (150) is progressively withdrawn under the compression, such that a frustum cone or end bearing force (154) is formed thereof; and wherein action-reaction forces (reflective frustum and end bearing force) defined between the compressed bearing plate (110) and progressively with-drawn of the at least one earth anchor (150) through the tendon bar/wire (160) are able to eliminate or overcome the active and passive zone pressures existed in the slope, unrestrained earth or the like.

A locking tent stake comprises an elongate sleeve defining a hollow interior, an opening at a rearward end of the sleeve, and a slot extending along an axial dimension of a forward portion of the sleeve, the slot providing external access to a forward end of the interior of the sleeve. A pin is receivable within the rearward opening along a length of the interior of the sleeve. The pin comprises an elongate shaft having a retractable barb rotatably secured to a forward end thereof, the barb being rotatable between a first position, in which the barb is received within a recess along the length of the shaft, and a second position, in which the barb is extended forward of the forward end of the shaft.

An anchor driving device includes an anchor, a driving member with a slide stop, an anchor rod, a slide collar, and a load cell. The driving member is removably coupled to the anchor. The slide stop of the driving member is spaced apart from and disposed above the anchor. The anchor rod is permanently coupled to the anchor. The slide collar is disposed on the driving member and is selectively affixed to the driving member with a release mechanism. The load cell is permanently coupled to the slide collar and selectively coupled to the anchor rod. The load cell is configured to measure a load through the anchor rod during a setting operation of the anchor.

The invention is an application that completely alter the operating principle and load transfer mechanism of the anchorage technique used in the field of civil engineering, in particular at the excavation bracing and slope stability applications with a novel root zone apparatus.

The invention relates to an anchoring assembly for fastening an element to the ground, the element including an orifice. The invention is characterized by the fact that anchoring assembly comprises: an anchoring part; a flexible line having a first end that is fastened to the anchoring part, the flexible line being designed to pass through the orifice; and a blocking device including an opening, the flexible line extending through the opening, and blocking means for blocking sliding of the flexible line in the opening, the blocking device being suitable for taking up a first position in which the flexible line can slide in the opening in such a manner as to adjust the distance between the blocking device and the anchoring part, and a second position in which the flexible line is blocked in the blocking device in such a manner as to prevent the blocking device from moving relative to the anchoring part.
