Title:
SEGMENTED FOUNDATION INSTALLATION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003044283
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
Novel anchors and foundations in customized lengths and installation method are less expensive, easier to hand and assemble in the field to match any required length. Vertical segmented support and media consolidation plates swingably mounted about pivot points vertical support means incorporate media-facing surfaces swingable outwardly from the into surrounding media. Varying segmented lengths form segmented vertical support means. Novel apparatus and method provide for centering collar (113), an anchor positioning means at level force pivoting plates (194), and pivoting plates (194) positioned 40-50 degrees from vertical. A frusto-cone 197 dx equal to a predetermined distance of one-half inch forms gap (204). The novel method installs a anchor and foundation device in the earth by preparing a hole in the earth, lowering into the hole a segmented anchor or foundation device having swingable media facing plates, and applying force to swing the plates outwardly into the surrounding media.
