Open End Friction Pile

Abstract

The open end friction pile comprises of four steel plates, four brackets, and one driving head. The steel plates have a first bend line and a second bend line that are equidistant from a distal end. The first bend line and second bend line of the steel plates are equidistant from each other creating a center portion. The brackets have a first bend line and a second bend line that are equidistant from a distal end. The first bend line and second bend line of the brackets are equidistant from each other creating a center portion. The bracket has a third bend line along the center portion. One bracket is connected to one steel plate along the distal ends and center portion. All four steel plates and four brackets concurrently connect along the distal ends to form two open-ends. A driving head is connected covering the top open-end.

         5 . The open end friction pile of  claim 1  wherein each bracket with a flap has a horizontal third bend line equidistant to the center portion created by the first and second bend lines. 
     
     
         6 . The open end friction pile of  claim 5  wherein each bracket with a flap third bend line creates a flap portion. 
     
     
         7 . The open end friction pile of  claim 6  whereas each flap portion is bent on a ninety degree angle allowing the flap portion to extend away from the center portion. 
     
     
         8 . The open end friction pile of  claim 7  wherein gussets connect underneath each flap portion to the front facing side of each center portion along the ninety degree angle. 
     
     
         9 . The open end friction pile of  claim 1  wherein a bracket with a flap connects to a steel plate along the first and second bend lines and the center portion. 
     
     
         10 . The open end friction pile of  claim 9  wherein the distal end from the first bend line and the distal end of the second bend line of a steel plate connect to concurrent distal ends from the first and second bend lines of a steel plate to form a shape. 
     
     
         11 . The open end friction pile of  claim 10  form a top and bottom open-end.
