Drive anchor for manufactured home

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Briefly described, the present invention is an anchor for use with manufactured homes that can be installed in soils of all density, including rock.
Further, if the anchor is used where there is rock under the surface, the rock does not have to be located near the surface.
The anchor includes an elongated C-shaped rod support bracket that is a C-shaped plate or channel beam having parallel first and second arms and a middle section extending between and connected to the arms.
The bracket is arranged to lie on the ground with its first arm engaging the ground and its second arm suspended above the ground.
The bracket includes three pairs or sets of holes located at intervals along the length of the bracket, two outer sets adjacent opposite ends of the bracket and a middle set intermediate its ends, with one hole of each set formed in the first arm at the ground and the other hole of each set formed at the juncture of the second arm and the connecting section and spaced above the ground.
The outer sets of holes are arranged such that the holes at the juncture of the second arm and the connecting section are longitudinally offset along the length of the bracket from the holes in the first arm, with the holes in the first arm located to the outside of the holes at the juncture of the second arm and the connecting section.
During installation, the rod support bracket is placed so that the first arm of the bracket lies flat upon the ground, with the open face of the bracket directed toward the manufactured home.
A drive rod is driven into the ground through each of the sets of holes.
The rods extending through the outer sets of holes will divert downwardly away from each other and will also be driven in a direction toward the open face of the C-shaped bracket, toward the home.
The rod extending through the central set of holes will be driven at a right angle relative to the length of the bracket but will also be driven in a direction toward the open face of the bracket.
Each of the rods has an enlarged section located at its top portion which is of larger breadth than the holes in the support bracket so that the rods cannot be driven through the bracket
