Displacement pile and pile driver adapter

Abstract

A bi-directional swing pile adapter includes a first ring; a first support arm; a second support arm; a first swivel connector to operatively connect the first ring to the first support arm in a swivel manner; a second swivel connector to operatively connect the first ring to the second support arm in a swivel manner; a pile coupling member to enable coupling to a pile; a third swivel connector to operatively connect the first ring to the pile coupling member in a swivel manner; and a fourth swivel connector to operatively connect the first ring to the pile coupling member in a swivel manner.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pile for use with supporting excavation members, comprising:
 a pile shaft; and   vertical flanges;   said vertical flanges including through-holes to enable attaching supporting excavation members thereto.   
     
     
         2 . The pile, as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said vertical flanges are welded to said pile shaft. 
     
     
         3 . The pile, as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising braces, said braces being welded to said pile shaft and said vertical flanges. 
     
     
         4 . A pile for use with supporting excavation members, comprising:
 a pile shaft; and   a mating vertical coupling component for mating with a vertical coupling component of a supporting excavation member.   
     
     
         5 . The pile, as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said mating vertical coupling component is welded to said pile shaft. 
     
     
         6 . A pile for use with supporting excavation members, comprising:
 a pile shaft; and   a C-shaped vertical flange;   said C-shaped vertical flange including through-holes to enable attaching supporting excavation members thereto.   
     
     
         7 . The pile, as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said C-shaped vertical flange is welded to said pile shaft.
