In general, embodiments of the present invention relate to ground anchor assemblies. Specifically, the present invention provides a multi-stage extending ground anchor assembly including wing members that are coupled to a fixing member of the ground anchor assembly. The wing members are configured to make contact with an inner wall of a ground hole such that the earth anchor assembly can be used in surfaces of any consistency, including both bedrock and soft surfaces.

The tie rod for structural projects for the protection of structures for earthquake and wind is comprised of a cast iron base (7) which has a bolt (4) passing through a hole, which is surrounded by threaded ring (5) with handles (6). A base plate (2) that sits on the bolt and turns with a ball bearing. A steel cable (9) passes through all; the one end of the cable is fixed to the base (2) with bolts (3). The other end leads to a member with blades around it (10), (12), (13), (14) which open and close around the member (17) with the help of bars (11) connected around the axis of the member with pins. To the other end, they are connected with pins to the blades. The rod presses the structure to the ground by a bolt connected to a cable which pulls a member (17) with blades which open against the sides of a hole drilled on the ground and pull the building towards the ground decreasing torque created by the forces of an earthquake or the wind. It is used on buildings with a frame, continuous building, wood frame houses with storm problems, cable bridges, loose ground slopes, etc.

A ground anchoring support apparatus for securing and supporting an object to the ground which may comprise a tensioning element which may include a lead with a tensioning fastener coupled to a first end of the lead and a ground anchor coupled to a second end of the lead. The tensioning fastener may also be coupled to the object. The apparatus may also comprise a ground support element which may include a base and a cavity, and in which a portion of the object may be received within the cavity. The ground anchor may be inserted into the ground and the first end of the lead may be tensioned against the second end of the lead by tensioning the tensioning fastener. In this manner, the ground anchor and tensioning fastener may be drawn or tensioned together to secure the object to the ground support element and also to the ground.

An anchor for stabilizing an object includes an anchor block having a body portion, a pair of wing portions extending from the body portion, and a coupling-channel located in the body portion. The coupling-channel is configured to couple the anchor block to an anchor rod. The anchor block is generally trapezoidal in a view. The wing portions include a first plurality of sloping ribs extending from body portion and a plurality of recesses disposed between the sloping ribs.

An earth anchor comprising a main body having an end that is inclined with respect to a longitudinal axis of the main body; a tool engagement portion located on the main body; at least one anchor hole located substantially centrally on the main body; and at least one removal hole located on the main body adjacent an end of the main body.

An anchor system (10) comprises an anchor (16) and a tendon arrangement (18). The anchor (16) has an attaching formation (22) to attach the tendon arrangement (18) to the anchor (16). The tendon arrangement (18) extends from the attaching formation (22) as first and second passes (28, 30) of the tendon arrangement (18). The tendon arrangement (18) has opposite first and second end portions (24A, 26A). The system further includes a joining arrangement (32, 34) to join the first and second end portions (24A, 26A) to each other. The tendon arrangement (18) comprises a looped region (36) through which a securing article (38) can extend. The tendon arrangement (18) extends from the attaching formation (22) to the looped region (36).

The tie rod for structural projects for the protection of structures for earthquake and wind is comprised of a cast iron base (7) which has a bolt (4) passing through a hole, which is surrounded by threaded ring (5) with handles (6). A base plate (2) that sits on the bolt and turns with a ball bearing. A steel cable (9) passes through all; the one end of the cable is fixed to the base (2) with bolts (3). The other end leads to a member with blades around it (10), (12), (13), (14) which open and close around the member (17) with the help of bars (11) connected around the axis of the member with pins. To the other end, they are connected with pins to the blades. The rod presses the structure to the ground by a bolt connected to a cable which pulls a member (17) with blades which open against the sides of a hole drilled on the ground and pull the building towards the ground decreasing torque created by the forces of an earthquake or the wind. It is used on buildings with a frame, continuous building, wood frame houses with storm problems, cable bridges, loose ground slopes, etc.

The present invention relates to a safety recovery support fixture with a new structure that can easily be fixed to be buried in the ground, tidal flats, the ocean, or the like and can easily be recovered as necessary. The safety recovery support fixture according to the present invention can be fixed to a ground surface (1) by spreading anchor blades (22) in a state in which a fixer (20) is inserted into the ground surface (1) and can be removed by being pulled upward in the state in which the anchor blades (22) are narrowed. Accordingly, the safety recovery support fixture can be firmly fixed to the ground surface (1) to support a structure and can be easily recovered after the structure is demolished, and there is an advantage that environmental destruction can be prevented.

Various implementations include a ground anchoring apparatus including a longitudinal body, first and second retaining members, and a set of expanding linkage assemblies. The first retaining member is rigidly coupled to the longitudinal body. The second retaining member is movably coupled to the longitudinal body. Each expanding linkage assembly includes first and second linkage members. The first linkage member has first and second portions, and the second linkage member has third and fourth portions. The first portion is rotatably coupled to the first retaining member. The fourth portion is rotatably coupled to the second retaining member. The third portion is rotatably coupled to the second portion. The set of expanding linkage assemblies is movable between a collapsed and expanded configuration. The second retaining member is closer to the first retaining member and the third portion is further from the central axis in the expanded configuration than in the collapsed configuration.
