Head piece for a ground anchor

Abstract

A stabilizing device for a load element of a ground anchor includes two plate members, wherein the plate members have a generally L-shape and are complementary and do form a generally cross shape when coupled together and when coupled together form a feed through sleeve for leading the load element there through. Each plate member includes at least one recess surrounded by plate material, which at least one recess of each plate member receives a central feed through sleeve forming plate member portion when the plate members are coupled together for forming the generally cross shaped stabilizing device.

1 . Stabilizing device ( 1 ) for a load element ( 2 ) of a ground anchor ( 3 ), the device consisting of two plate members ( 4   a,    4   b ), wherein the plate members have a generally L-shape and are complementary and do form a generally cross shape when coupled together and when coupled together form a feed through sleeve ( 5 ) for leading the load element there through, wherein each plate member comprises at least one recess ( 6 ) surrounded by plate material ( 7 ), which at least one recess of each plate member receives a central feed through sleeve forming plate member portion ( 8 ) when the plate members are coupled together for forming the generally cross shaped stabilizing device ( 1 ). 
     
     
         2 . Stabilizing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the two plate members are similar, preferably identical. 
     
     
         3 . Stabilizing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the feed through sleeve ( 5 ) is arranged centrally with respect to the stabilizing device. 
     
     
         4 . Stabilizing device according to  claim 1 , wherein each plate member comprises two recesses. 
     
     
         5 . Stabilizing device according to  claim 1 , wherein each plate member comprises a plurality of recesses. 
     
     
         6 . Assembly of a ground anchor having a load element and a stabilizing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the load element is fed through the central feed through sleeve. 
     
     
         7 . Assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the load element is coupled with the stabilizing device in a slideable manner. 
     
     
         8 . Assembly according to  claim 6 , comprising coupling means for fixedly coupling the load element with the stabilizing device once the earth anchor and the stabilizing device have taken their desired position. 
     
     
         9 . Assembly according to  claim 8  wherein the coupling means are provided with the upper and/or lower side of the stabilizing device for fixedly coupling the load element with the stabilizing device at the upper and/or lower side of the stabilizing device. 
     
     
         10 . Assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the ground anchor is a pivoting anchor. 
     
     
         11 . Method for installation of an assembly according to  claim 6 , comprising the steps;
 placing a ground anchor with the load element,   sliding the stabilizing device around the load element for accommodating the load element at least partly in the feed through sleeve,   driving the stabilizing device in the ground while sliding the stabilizing device with respect to the load element,   
     
     
         12 . Method according to  claim 11 , wherein the ground anchor is a pivoting ground anchor, and the method further comprises the step;
 taking in the load element through the feed through sleeve for pivoting the ground anchor.   
     
     
         13 . Assembly according to  claim 7 , comprising coupling means for fixedly coupling the load element with the stabilizing device once the earth anchor and the stabilizing device have taken their desired position.
