Definitions
- the invention relates to a stake driving device comprising a receiving socket forming a receiving cavity for accommodating the first striking end of a stake to be driven into the ground.
- document US20090044664 discloses an auxiliary device for driving stakes having the features set out in the preamble of claim 1.
- the purpose of the receiving socket is to try and avoid that the wooden stake splinters when the user strikes the end of the stake receiving the impacts with a mallet or hammer.
- the device of document US20090044664 also incorporates a shaft as a holding handle provided above the striking socket, destined to receive the impacts of the mallet and transmit them towards the stake. Additionally, at the end of the shaft remote from the socket, the device is provided with a protective flange to prevent the user from hitting himself on the hand with which he is holding the device. However, this flange can be deformed, so that if a particularly off-center blow is delivered at one of the edges of the flange occurs, it may happen that the flange is deformed and the user accidentally strikes his hand or wrist.
- the device of the state of the art additionally requires a mallet or hammer for delivering the impacts. While striking, the user has one hand occupied holding the device. For that reason, the user can only use a mallet of a relatively light weight. This does not represent, a priori, a problem for small diameter stakes. However, in the case of stakes having a large diameter, where the resistance to driving is greater, the user must make an additional effort while striking with the mallet to facilitate the penetration of the stake into the ground. This additional effort has direct repercussions in the wrist joint, so that in the long run undesired injuries may occur.
- This object is obtained by means of a stake driving device of the type first mentioned above, characterized in that it further comprises impact means and a longitudinal guide for guiding impact means, the impact means being movable on the guide between a first position remote from of the socket and a second position in which the impact means deliver a driving impulse on a impact area of the receiving socket towards the first end of the stake.
- the impact means guide minimises off center strikes on the device, so that the safety of use and the ergonomics thereof are improved.
- the impact means are guided in the device itself, they allow a greater force to be exerted than by means of the use of a mallet. With the mallet the user must perform a rotatory movement with which he must try to hit the right spot on the device, whereas the impact means of the invention make a safer and more effective linear movement, since they may be allowed to fall under their own weight or be safely driven from the remote position.
- the impact means may comprise a spring type preload mechanism that fires a mass.
- the user does not necessarily have to make the additional effort of striking and if he so wishes it is not absolutely necessary either for him to hold the impact means at the time of the impact. In other words, he can drive the impact means, and release them just before impacting on the socket. In this way, from an ergonomic point of view, the user does not directly receive the most injurious effects of the reactive force of the device on his wrists.
- the invention further includes a number of preferred features that are object of the dependent claims and the utility of which will be highlighted hereinafter in the detailed description of an embodiment of the invention.
- the device should be very simple and easy to use.
- the impact means comprises a mass to take advantage of the force of gravity when delivering the impact.
- the impact means comprises a container accessible from the outside thereof and which may be filled with the mass. The user may thereby fill the device with the desired mass, such as, for example, concrete mortar.
- the device may be transported in a simple way.
- a considerable mass is an advantage during the stake driving process.
- the same mass represents a disadvantage when the device is not being used.
- the mass is a granular material for being introduced into and removed from said container.
- the container can be filled up on the job site itself with sand.
- it may be filled with granulated lead or the like.
- the impact means comprises two diametrically opposed handgrips for cooperating in the movement of impact means between the first and second positions.

- the receiving socket comprises connecting means demountable from the guide.
- the receiving socket comprises means for adaptation to different stake sizes.
- a socket will be understood to be a member such as to allow the strike end of the stake to be held firmly.
- the adaptor means are formed by a plurality of interchangeable receiving sockets, adaptable to different stake sizes.
- the guide comprises a stop at the end thereof remote from said socket.
- the stop is demountable from the guide, which allows the impact means to be separated from the guide to facilitate the storage of the device or the replacement of damaged or worn parts of the device.
- the invention also contemplates the need for driving stakes of large diameters or particularly tall stakes to guarantee that the stake is correctly oriented before the stake driving process.
- the aid of a second person may be necessary during the stake driving process.
- the socket comprises an upper plate that forms a safety rim that projects outwardly from the main body of the socket and the main body of the socket is of such a height that it forms a holding area for accommodating at least one hand of an adult person. Thanks to this, the assistant can hold the device, while his companion looks after reciprocatingly moving the impact means.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a stake driving device comprising a receiving socket forming a receiving cavity for accommodating the first striking end of a stake to be driven into the ground.
- In the construction of fencing, stakes distributed more or less regularly are used to support the fence. Normally the stakes are driven into the ground simply with a mallet. For effective driving it is important that the mallet be relatively heavy. Thus, particularly when the stake is made of wood, the end of the stake which is struck usually splinters easily.
- In order to solve this problem, document
US20090044664 discloses an auxiliary device for driving stakes having the features set out in the preamble ofclaim 1. The purpose of the receiving socket is to try and avoid that the wooden stake splinters when the user strikes the end of the stake receiving the impacts with a mallet or hammer. - The device of document
US20090044664 also incorporates a shaft as a holding handle provided above the striking socket, destined to receive the impacts of the mallet and transmit them towards the stake. Additionally, at the end of the shaft remote from the socket, the device is provided with a protective flange to prevent the user from hitting himself on the hand with which he is holding the device. However, this flange can be deformed, so that if a particularly off-center blow is delivered at one of the edges of the flange occurs, it may happen that the flange is deformed and the user accidentally strikes his hand or wrist. - It should also be mentioned that the device of the state of the art additionally requires a mallet or hammer for delivering the impacts. While striking, the user has one hand occupied holding the device. For that reason, the user can only use a mallet of a relatively light weight. This does not represent, a priori, a problem for small diameter stakes. However, in the case of stakes having a large diameter, where the resistance to driving is greater, the user must make an additional effort while striking with the mallet to facilitate the penetration of the stake into the ground. This additional effort has direct repercussions in the wrist joint, so that in the long run undesired injuries may occur.
- It is an object of the invention to propose a stake driving device that improves the safety of use and the ergonomics thereof. This object is obtained by means of a stake driving device of the type first mentioned above, characterized in that it further comprises impact means and a longitudinal guide for guiding impact means, the impact means being movable on the guide between a first position remote from of the socket and a second position in which the impact means deliver a driving impulse on a impact area of the receiving socket towards the first end of the stake.
- Thanks to the impact means guide, off center strikes on the device are avoided, so that the safety of use and the ergonomics thereof are improved. On the other hand, since the impact means are guided in the device itself, they allow a greater force to be exerted than by means of the use of a mallet. With the mallet the user must perform a rotatory movement with which he must try to hit the right spot on the device, whereas the impact means of the invention make a safer and more effective linear movement, since they may be allowed to fall under their own weight or be safely driven from the remote position.
- Alternatively the impact means may comprise a spring type preload mechanism that fires a mass. In this way, the user does not necessarily have to make the additional effort of striking and if he so wishes it is not absolutely necessary either for him to hold the impact means at the time of the impact. In other words, he can drive the impact means, and release them just before impacting on the socket. In this way, from an ergonomic point of view, the user does not directly receive the most injurious effects of the reactive force of the device on his wrists.
- The invention further includes a number of preferred features that are object of the dependent claims and the utility of which will be highlighted hereinafter in the detailed description of an embodiment of the invention.
- Thus, a further object of the invention is that the device should be very simple and easy to use. Thus, preferably the impact means comprises a mass to take advantage of the force of gravity when delivering the impact.
- It is important, that the device, at least at the time of acquisition should not weigh much. This facilitates the carriage and storage of the device, at least before being marketed. Thus, particularly preferably, the impact means comprises a container accessible from the outside thereof and which may be filled with the mass. The user may thereby fill the device with the desired mass, such as, for example, concrete mortar.
- It is also desirable that the device may be transported in a simple way. A considerable mass is an advantage during the stake driving process. However the same mass represents a disadvantage when the device is not being used. Thus, preferably the mass is a granular material for being introduced into and removed from said container. The container can be filled up on the job site itself with sand. Optionally, also it may be filled with granulated lead or the like.
- Preferably, the impact means comprises two diametrically opposed handgrips for cooperating in the movement of impact means between the first and second positions. Again, the ergonomics of use of the device is improved thereby. The handgrips can simply be two tangential or radial handles, but also they include, for example, a wheel type handgrip.
- Also with the object of facilitating the storage of the device preferably, the receiving socket comprises connecting means demountable from the guide.
- Another object of the invention consists of making it possible for one same device to allow for driving different stake sizes. To this end, preferably, the receiving socket comprises means for adaptation to different stake sizes. In the invention a socket will be understood to be a member such as to allow the strike end of the stake to be held firmly. However, particularly preferably, the adaptor means are formed by a plurality of interchangeable receiving sockets, adaptable to different stake sizes.
- Also with a view to improving the safety of use, the guide comprises a stop at the end thereof remote from said socket. In this way the possibility of the impact means coming apart from the guide during the stake driving process is avoided. Particularly preferably the stop is demountable from the guide, which allows the impact means to be separated from the guide to facilitate the storage of the device or the replacement of damaged or worn parts of the device.
- The invention also contemplates the need for driving stakes of large diameters or particularly tall stakes to guarantee that the stake is correctly oriented before the stake driving process. In this case the aid of a second person may be necessary during the stake driving process. In order to avoid any risk during use, preferably below the impact area the socket comprises an upper plate that forms a safety rim that projects outwardly from the main body of the socket and the main body of the socket is of such a height that it forms a holding area for accommodating at least one hand of an adult person. Thanks to this, the assistant can hold the device, while his companion looks after reciprocatingly moving the impact means.
- Likewise, the invention also includes other features of detail illustrated in the detailed description of an embodiment of the invention and in the accompanying figures.
- Further advantages and features of the invention will be evident from the following description, in which, without any limiting character, preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
-
Figure 1 is longitudinal section view of the stake driving device according to the invention. -
Figure 2 is a plan view from above of the device ofFigure 1 . -
Figure 3 is longitudinal section view of detail of the stake receiving socket area of a second embodiment of the device. -
Figures 4 and 5 are side views explanatory of the principle of operation of the driving device according to the invention. - As may be seen in the Figures, the
stake driving device 1 according to the invention comprises a lower hollow-metallic-cylinder like receivingsocket 2. Inside thesocket 2 there is formed a receivingcavity 18 adapted to receive thefirst end 102 of astake 100 to be driven into theground 106. Thisfirst end 102 corresponds to the end on which the impacts are delivered when driving thestake 100. - Above the
socket 2, thedevice 1 is provided with impact means 4 mounted on alongitudinal guide 6 fixedly attached to and concentric with thesocket 2. In an alternative embodiment, theguide 6 might not be concentric. Thus, the guide could be formed by two lateral guides guiding themeans 4 disposed between both guides. Thus, the invention is not limited to theguide 6 being concentric. - In this case, the impact means 4 are formed by a
container 8 as a cylindrical body. Thecontainer 8 is provided with a firstlower plate 20, welded to the cylindrical body. At the top,container 8 is closed with a secondupper plate 22. Additionally, thecontainer 8 is provided with aguide sleeve 42 extending between the first andsecond plates - Through the second
upper plate 22 access may be had to theinner chamber 24. In this case, access is made through anorifice 26 which may be closed with astopper 28, shown only inFigure 2 . Alternatively theplate 22 could be simply screwed into the cylindrical body of thecontainer 8. - A
mass 12 may be introduced through theorifice 26 to fill theinner chamber 24. Preferably, themass 12 is a granular material that can be introduced and removed at will, such as, for example, sand or granulated lead. However, theinner chamber 24 could also be filled with acurable mass 12, such as mortar or the like. - The
container 8 is also provided with twohandgrips 10 to handle it during the driving of thestake 100. In this case twohandgrips 10 have been shown parallel to the tangents to the cylindrical outer surface of thecontainer 8. Alternatively they could be also radial handgrips or a hand wheel. - Hereinafter the way of using of the device according to the invention is explained. First, the user inserts the
first end 102 of thestake 100 in the receivingcavity 18 of thesocket 2 and thesecond end 104 of thestake 100 is placed on theground 106 in the initial driving position shown inFigure 4 . - Using the diametrically
opposed handgrips 10, the user moves the impact means 4 on theguide 6 up to a first position remote from the socket 2 (Figure 4 ). Thestop 14 at the end remote from thesocket 2 delimits the stroke of thecontainer 8. - From this first position the user allows the impact means 4 to drop in the direction of the arrow A to a second position (
Figure 5 ) in which the impact means 4 deliver a driving impulse on thefirst end 102 of thestake 100. This impulse may derive from the acceleration caused by the effect of gravity on the impact means 4. Optionally, when a greater driving force is required, the user also can impelcontainer 8 through thehandgrips 10 to additionally accelerate the mass and increase the force created. In both cases, at the end of the stroke thereof, thecontainer 8 impacts on thefirst plate 20 on animpact area 16 of the receivingsocket 2 and the impulse is transmitted to thestake 100. In the state of the art, when delivering the blow, the user must hold the mallet firmly. However, in the invention, because the impact means 4 are fixedly attached to theguide 6, the user does not need to make a considerable force to hold thedevice 1 at the time of the impact, so that he does not receive either the most important part of the reaction of thestake 100 on thedevice 1. Thanks to this, both the ergonomics, and the effectiveness of thedriving device 1 are improved. - The
socket 2 serves, firstly, as a centering member of thedevice 1, whereby it is also possible to make very effective strikes and with a pressure uniformly distributed over thefirst end 102. Furthermore, in the case ofwooden stakes 100, thesocket 2 prevents thefirst end 102 from splintering. - It should also be noted that in the
device 1 ofFigures 1 and2 , theguide 6 is welded to thesocket 2 by means of awelding seam 30. Thus, so as not to damage thewelding seam 30,spacers 32 forming theimpact area 16 are provided. Also, when theguide 6 is welded to thesocket 2, thestop 14 at the opposite end of the guide is removable. To this end, thestop 14 is, for example, a screw tightened on theguide 6. Where necessary, thecontainer 8 may be demounted to transport thedevice 1 in separate pieces or to repair damaged parts. Optionally, onesame device 1 may haveseveral sockets 2 of different diameters with weldedguide 6 to be able to interchange them and to adapt them better to thestake 100 to be driven. - Alternatively, the
socket 2 is provided with connectingmeans 34 demountable from theguide 6. In this case the connectingmeans 34 are formed by a threaded connexion between the end of theguide 6 opposite the end provided with thestop 14 and theupper plate 36 of thesocket 2. Thanks to this, thedevice 1 can be dismantled for storage and transport in a more convenient way. - On the other hand, the invention also contemplates the possibility of the
socket 2 comprising means for adaptation to different stake sizes. For example, thesocket 2 may have a chuck-type system allowing variation of the diameter. This chuck also defines a receivingcavity 18 for accommodating thefirst end 102 of thestake 100. Nevertheless, preferably, whensocket 2 is demountable from theguide 6, the adaptor means are formed by a plurality ofinterchangeable receiving sockets 2, adaptable todifferent stake 100 diameters. - The
device 1 contemplates an additional improvement for the case ofstakes 100 of large dimensions. Thus, below theimpact area 16, theupper plate 36 of thesocket 2 forms asafety rim 38 projecting outwardly from the main body of thesocket 2. Additionally, the main body of thesocket 2 is provided with a height such that it forms a holdingarea 40 for accommodating at least one hand of an adult person. Verytall stakes 100 or those having large diameters may require that two people take part in the stake driving process. To this end, the first person holds thedevice 1 by the holdingarea 40 and has the task of holding thestake 100 vertical. On the other hand, the second person has the task of delivering the necessary impacts for the driving in the way explained in previous paragraphs. Thesafety rim 38 prevents the assistant from accidentally placing his hand in theimpact area 16. - Finally, it should be noted that the device according to the invention is appropriate for driving both wooden and metal stakes.
