The anchor is screwn into the earth with the help of a lever (8). The stem can be composed of several parts (5) and has at the end the helical blade (6). The present invention is intended to install temporarily in the earth -for instance on the beach- and to put on the other end of the stem a safe (9), with can prevent theft. The safe can be connected to the stem to act as a lever. The safe can be provided with an alarm.




    Description


    [0001] The present invention regards an anchor which can be screwn into the earth by means of a central stem, which anchor consists of a helical blade. The rod can be composed of several parts and has at one end the helical blade. The present invention is intended to install temporari­ly in the earth -for instance on the beach- and to put-on the other end of the rod a safe, with can prevent theft of money, creditcards, passports, photo-equipment etcetera deposited in the safe.

    [0002] Known screw-anchors are Dutch pantent no. 166.103 and the European patent nos. 0.057.741 and 0.033.305. These are all meant to realise a permanent anchoring.

    In fig. 1 is shown the helical blade 6), screwn into the earth with safe 9) placed on top, which safe 9) can be locked by means of a lock (not shown).

    In fig. 2 the construction is chosen thus, that all the parts 5),6),7) and 10) can be stowed in the safe 9), creating a handy package.



    [0003] Safe 9) is placed thus, that it can be used to screw in the helical blade 6), whereafter the safe 9) can be released on the inside, preventing undesired and unintentional unscrewing of the helical blade. In this way the safe 9) is used as a lever which lever can be unbolted.

    [0004] The invention as in fig. 3 regards the anchor without the safe, which screwed-in anchor can be used for instance to secure dog leaches or tent ropes. Lever 8) is used to screw in and out the anchor.

    [0005] The safe 9) as shown in figs. 1 and 2 can be provided with an alarm.
