Tent stake

Abstract

A co-axial tent stake intended for use by campers that is comprised of a long outer hollow tubular stake which has co-axially nested inside a shorter wire stake, inner wire stake can be removed from the outer stake by twisting off the end cap of the outer stake. The sharp point of the wire stake is sheathed by the outer hollow stake when stored. To reduce the weight of the co-axial tent stake, either stake or both stakes can be fabricated with carbon fiber composite materials.

1 . A tent stake of multiple parts comprising 
 a) an outer stake with a tubular cross-section;    b) an inner stake with a solid cross-section; bonded to an end cap of a diameter larger than said outer stake;    c) wherein said inner stake can be fixed coaxially inside said outer stake:    
     
     
         2 . A tent stake of multiple parts comprising 
 a) a length of carbon fiber composite tubing;    b) an end cap of shorter length and greater diameter fitted to one end of said length;    c) a metallic point bonded to the other end of said length.    
     
     
         3 . A tent stake of multiple parts comprising 
 a) an outer stake with a tubular cross-section;    b) an inner stake with a tubular cross-section wherein said inner stake is bonded to an end cap of a diameter larger than said outer stake;    c) wherein said inner stake can be fixed coaxially inside said outer stake.
