Abstract
An improvement to fence post supports in UK Patent NO. GB2218718B; in which the ground-penetrating spike is driven in by force applied adjacent its point. The stop in the tubular body has been modified to the form of a combined stop and pointed end (60) welded and/or crimped into the end of spike (31). <IMAGE>
Description
FENCE POST SUPPORTS
IMPROVEMENT TO AND RELATING TO FENCE POSTS SUPPORTS UK. PATENT
NO. G8Z218718B.
Surprisingly further development of the post support has shown that by a modification to the stop 32 near the bottom of the tube as shown in the original patent and combining this to form the pointed end of the post support, less energy is required to drive the post support into the ground particularly in very hard strata thus enabling the accuracy of the location of the support to be maintained.
The modification is shown in Figures 50 to 58 inclusive on sheets 1, 2 and 3 of the attached diagrams.
Figure 50 is an elevation of the post support according to the invention.
Figure 51 is a vertical section through the device of Figure 50.
Figure 52 is an underside plan of the device of Figure 50.
Figure 53 is an elevation of a modification of the device show in Figure 50.
Figure 54 is a vertical section through the device of Figure 53.
Figure 55 is an underside plan of the device of Figure 53.
Figure 56 is an elevation of another modification of the device shown in Figure 50.
Figure 57 is a vertical section through the device of
Figure 1.
Figure 58 is an underside plan of the device of Figure 57.
At the bottom of the tube is fixed a solid rod 60 which may be round, square or polygonal in cross -section. The solid rod 60 is fitted inside the tubular member to form a combined stop and end as shown in figures 50 to 58 inclusive. The end of the stop which projects from the tubular member will normally be pointed to assist penetration of the stratum when the device is being installed. For certain types of soft strata the point may be omitted for example in soft clay or uncompacted sand et alia.
The optimum length and size of the tubular body and the stop eno 60 w.ll be determined by its intended application and type of scil or stratum in which it is to be installed.
The solid rod 60 may be welded or welded to and/or crimped in the tubular member 31 as shown in figures 50 to 58 inclusive.
The method of instaliation and other features of the device are all as described in the original patent No. GB2218718B.
Claims (3)
1. The modification to the stop 32 by replacing it with a
combined stop end 60,' reduces the coefficient of restitution
when the kinetic energy is transferred from the drive rod to
the stop end, during the installation of a post support.
Consequently less energy is needed to drive in the said post
support in given ground conditions.
2. The reduction in the amount of energy as in claim 1 enables
the' accuracy of the vertical and axial alignment of the post
support to be improved particularly when it is being
installed in very firm or hard strata.
3. sss the efficiency in the use of the energy needed to drive
in a post support is increased it enables the said support
to be driven into much harder strata than is possible with
the original design stop and tubular end described in Patent
No. Tub2218718.
