Abstract

An anchoring device is disclosed comprising a generally horizontal top element having an elongate, generally vertical, collapsible element extending downwardly from the underside thereof, the horizontal top element comprises a metallic plate reinforced plastic.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An anchoring device comprising a generally horizontal top element having an elongate, generally vertical element extending downwardly from the underside thereof, said horizontal top element comprising a metal plate reinforced plastic.  
   
   
       2 . An anchoring device of  claim 1  wherein said horizontal top element comprises a fastening opening therethrough.  
   
   
       3 . An anchoring device of  claim 2  wherein said fastening opening of said top element comprises an outlet through said generally vertical element.  
   
   
       4 . An anchoring device of  claim 1  wherein said generally vertical element is collapsible.  
   
   
       5 . An anchoring device of  claim 4  wherein said vertical collapsible element is formed from plastic continuum with plastic comprising the underside of the horizontal top element.  
   
   
       6 . An anchoring device of  claim 5  wherein said vertical collapsible element comprises a hollow.  
   
   
       7 . An anchoring device of  claim 6  wherein walls defining said hollow of said vertical collapsible element are sized in thickness and strength to collapse with compression of said vertical element.  
   
   
       8 . An anchoring device of  claim 7  wherein said hollow of said vertical collapsible element has an opening at an end thereof distal from the horizontal top element.  
   
   
       9 . An anchoring device of  claim 7  wherein the end of said vertical collapsible element, nearest the horizontal top element, comprises an outlet from said fastening opening of said top element.  
   
   
       10 . An anchoring device of  claim 1  wherein said vertical element is aligned along about a centerline of the top element.  
   
   
       11 . An anchoring device of  claim 1  wherein the top surface of said top element slopes downwardly toward a central fastening opening.  
   
   
       12 . An anchoring device of  claim 1  wherein said top element is generally flat and comprises one or more ridges along its top side.  
   
   
       13 . An anchoring device of  claim 1  wherein said top element is generally flat and comprises one or more ridges along its underside.  
   
   
       14 . An anchoring device of  claim 1  wherein the top surface of said top element comprises an upwardly extending shoulder generally aligned along about a centerline of said top element, a side of the shoulder comprising an opening generally aligned with said fastening opening.  
   
   
       15 . An anchoring device of  claim 14  wherein said shoulder comprises a hollow, with walls defining said hollow of said shoulder being sized in thickness and strength to collapse under force.  
   
   
       16 . An anchoring device of  claim 1  wherein said plastic is a flexible plastic.  
   
   
       17 . An anchoring device of  claim 1  wherein said generally vertical element comprises a shear line for shearing the vertical element under a measured force.  
   
   
       18 . An anchoring device of  claim 1  further comprising an assembly tab arranged to displace from position when subjected to a generally horizontal force.  
   
   
       19 . An anchoring device comprising a generally horizontal top element having an elongate, generally vertical element extending downwardly from the underside thereof, said horizontal top element comprising a flexible plastic reinforced with a metallic plate having a fastening opening therethrough.  
   
   
       20 . An anchoring device of  claim 19  wherein said vertical element is aligned along about a centerline of the top element.  
   
   
       21 . An anchoring device of  claim 19  wherein the top surface of said top element slopes downwardly toward a central fastening opening.  
   
   
       22 . An anchoring device of  claim 19  wherein said top element is generally flat and comprises one or more ridges along its top side.  
   
   
       23 . An anchoring device of  claim 19  wherein the top surface of said top element comprises an upwardly extending shoulder generally aligned along about a centerline of the top element, a side of the shoulder comprising an opening generally aligned with said fastening opening.  
   
   
       24 . An anchoring device of  claim 19  wherein the shape of the horizontal top element is selected from generally circular, oblong, elliptical and polygonal.  
   
   
       25 . An anchoring device of  claim 19  wherein the cross sectional shape of the vertical collapsible element is selected from generally cylindrical, elliptical, oblong and polygonal.  
   
   
       26 . An anchoring device of  claim 19  further comprising an assembly tab arranged to displace from position when subjected to a generally horizontal force.  
   
   
       27 . An anchoring device comprising a generally horizontal top element having an elongate, generally vertical element extending downwardly from the underside thereof, said device further comprising an assembly tab arranged to displace from position when subjected to a generally horizontal force.  
   
   
       28 . An anchoring device of  claim 27  wherein said vertical element is offset from a centerline of said top element.
