Rotary support auger

Abstract

A rotary auger support for mounting and removably holding a articles or devices upright on the ground. The includes an upright rod with a helical coil or flights forming an auger base having a point at the lower distal end to be fixedly and removably screwed into the ground to support the in an upright position.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A rotary auger support comprising:
 a selected length of bar stock having a square cross sectional area including a bottom portion bent into a spiral comprising:   a vertical straight top portion;   a neck portion extending downward from said vertical straight top portion;   a main body portion extending downwardly from said neck portion, said main body portion comprising a helical spiral coil extending downward therefrom a selected distance;   a distal end segment comprising a half spiral extending downward from said main body portion; and   said distal end segment including a point for penetration into the ground.   
     
     
         2 . The rotary auger support of  claim 1 , wherein said main body portion comprises a helical pitch of 2 for every 3.5 revolutions and a variable pitch of 3.0 for every 0.25 revolutions. 
     
     
         3 . The rotary auger support of  claim 1 , wherein said main body portion comprises a pitch diameter of 1.375 inches and a helical pitch of 2.0 inches. 
     
     
         4 . The rotary auger support of  claim 1 , wherein said main body portion comprising a square bar stock defines a cutting edge at each corner of said square bar stock. 
     
     
         5 . A rotary auger support consisting of:
 a selected length of bar stock having a square cross sectional area including a bottom portion bent into a spiral comprising:   a vertical straight top portion;   a neck portion extending downward from said vertical straight top portion;   a main body portion extending downwardly from said neck portion, said main body portion comprising a helical spiral coil extending downward therefrom a selected distance;   a distal end segment comprising a half spiral extending downward from said main body portion; and   said distal end segment including a point for penetration into the ground.   
     
     
         6 . The rotary auger support of  claim 5 , wherein said main body portion comprises a helical pitch of 2 for every 3.5 revolutions and a variable pitch of 3.0 for every 0.25 revolutions. 
     
     
         7 . The rotary auger support of  claim 5 , wherein said main body portion comprises a pitch diameter of 1.375 inches and a helical pitch of 2.0 inches. 
     
     
         8 . The rotary auger support of  claim 5 , wherein said main body portion comprising a square bar stock defines a cutting edge at each corner of said square bar stock.
