Canopy Leg Anchor

Abstract

The present invention provides a canopy leg anchor that is designed to anchor the legs of a canopy to the ground and prevent the canopy from being blown over and damaged. The canopy leg anchor includes a rectangular portion having two opposing length sides, two opposing width sides, and coextensive interior and exterior surfaces designed to wrap around the leg of a canopy. The interior surface and exterior surface enclose a defined interior volume filled with ballast to provide weight for anchoring. The opposing length sides comprise strips of aligning hook and loop fasteners that removably secure the rectangular portion around a canopy leg. The opposing width sides also comprise strips of aligning hook and loop fasteners to allow additional rectangular portions to be removably attached to one another in an end-to-end manner along the length of a canopy leg, thereby increasing the anchoring weight.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A canopy leg anchor for providing stability to a supporting leg of a canopy, comprising:
 a rectangular portion having two opposing length sides, two opposing width sides, and coextensive exterior and interior surfaces;   wherein said rectangular portion is flexible and designed to be removably wrapped around a supporting leg of a canopy;   wherein said rectangular portion is designed to be wrapped around a supporting leg of a canopy and said opposing length sides being parallel to said supporting leg of said canopy;   said rectangular portion having a defined interior volume between said exterior surface and said interior surface filled with ballast designed to provide additional weight to anchor down said supporting leg of said canopy;   said opposing length sides further comprising a first fastener to removably fasten said opposing length sides together and said rectangular portion around said supporting leg of said canopy.   
     
     
         2 . The canopy leg anchor of  claim 1 , wherein an additional rectangular portion can be affixed to said opposing length sides via said first fastener in a side-to-side manner to wrap around a larger supporting leg.
 said first fastener on said opposing length sides also designed to removably attach a multitude of said rectangular portions around said supporting of said canopy in a side-to-side manner.   
     
     
         3 . The canopy leg anchor of  claim 1 , further comprising a second fastener on said opposing width sides;
 wherein said second fastener designed to join an adjacent rectangular portion above or below said rectangular portion and to removably attached in an end-to-end manner.   
     
     
         4 . The canopy leg anchor of  claim 1 , wherein said second fastener is designed to extend along a length of said opposing width sides in at least one strip. 
     
     
         5 . A canopy leg anchor of  claim 1 , wherein said exterior surface further comprising a printed design thereon. 
     
     
         6 . A canopy leg anchor of  claim 1 , wherein said exterior surface and said interior surface of said rectangular portion are waterproof. 
     
     
         7 . A canopy leg anchor for providing stability to a supporting leg of a canopy, comprising:
 a tubular sleeve with a pair of open terminal ends forming a hollow interior configured to receive a supporting leg of a canopy therethrough;   wherein said tubular sleeve is embedded with a metal plate designed to provide additional weight to anchor down said supporting leg of said canopy.
