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.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pound-driven pile comprising:
 a pile shaft;   a displacement head, located at one end of said pile shaft;   said displacement head including a head member for transferring a force from pounding the pile to a medium and a lateral compaction member for laterally compacting the medium to create an annulus; and   a fin, extending outwardly from said shaft, to cut a continuous groove into a wall of the annulus created by said lateral compaction member.   
     
     
         2 . The pound-driven pile, as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said fin is configured to cause the pile to rotate when driven into the medium from the pounding. 
     
     
         3 . The pound-driven pile, as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said displacement head includes an opening to allow grout to be pumped into the annulus. 
     
     
         4 . The pound-driven pile, as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said pile shaft includes threads to prevent shearing between said pile shaft and grout. 
     
     
         5 . The pound-driven pile, as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said pile shaft includes projections to prevent shearing between said pile shaft and grout. 
     
     
         6 . The pound-driven pile, as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said pile shaft includes indentations to prevent shearing between said pile shaft and grout. 
     
     
         7 . The pound-driven pile, as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said pile shaft includes indentations to prevent shearing between said pile shaft and grout. 
     
     
         8 . A pound-driven pile comprising:
 a pile shaft;   a displacement head, located at one end of said pile shaft;   said displacement head including a head member for transferring a force from pounding the pile to a medium and a lateral compaction member for laterally compacting the medium to create an annulus; and   fins, extending outwardly from said shaft, to cut continuous grooves into a wall of the annulus created by said lateral compaction member.   
     
     
         9 . The pound-driven pile, as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said fins are configured to cause the pile to rotate when driven into the medium from the pounding. 
     
     
         10 . The pound-driven pile, as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said displacement head includes an opening to allow grout to be pumped into the annulus. 
     
     
         11 . The pound-driven pile, as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said pile shaft includes threads to prevent shearing between said pile shaft and grout. 
     
     
         12 . The pound-driven pile, as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said pile shaft includes projections to prevent shearing between said pile shaft and grout. 
     
     
         13 . The pound-driven pile, as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said pile shaft includes indentations to prevent shearing between said pile shaft and grout. 
     
     
         14 . The pound-driven pile, as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein said pile shaft includes indentations to prevent shearing between said pile shaft and grout.
