Problems solved by technology

Obstructions in the ground, such as a rock, can stress and shear the shaft or helix.
In the event that a rock formation is quite large, moving the drilling location may not be a viable option.
Another option could be predrilling a hole in the rock but in larger applications this would be costly and unfe

Embodiment Construction

[0030]While the present invention is susceptible of embodiment in various forms, there is shown in the drawings and will hereinafter be described a presently preferred, albeit not limiting, embodiment with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered an exemplification of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the specific embodiments illustrated.

[0031]Now referring to the figures, which illustrate the present invention and the manner in which it is used with like components numbered consistently throughout. A ground anchor assembly with a leading section cutting device 10 is comprised of a shaft member 12 having a longitudinal axis that extends longitudinally and thereby defines an axis of rotation. The shaft includes a proximate end 14 and distal end 16. The shaft member 12 can be of a substantially rectangular or substantially cylindrical shape. The proximate end 14 is constructed and arranged for attachment of a driving mechanism. T

Abstract

A cutting device for use with installation of helical ground anchors designed to cut through rock. The invention has carbide steel cutting tips attached to the distal end of a shaft extending below the end in order to make a first cut through rock along the axis of rotation of the shaft. Helically shaped plates are attached to the shaft at a distance above the shaft set of cutting tips. Attached along the outer edge of the helix are additional carbide steel cutting tips that extend below the bottom surface of the helix and cut along the axis of rotation of the shaft. The present invention allows for the installation of helical ground anchor supports at proper depths without deviation, in situations where the path is obstructed by rock or other hard materials.
