Abstract:
A pole mount for supporting a satellite dish comprising an elongated rod having a ground penetrating end, a first auger secured to the rod and spaced from the end, a second auger secured to the rod and spaced further from the end then the first auger, the second auger having a larger diameter than the first auger, the ratio of the diameter of the first auger with respect to the second auger being on the order of three to five, a stabilizing plate secured adjacent the top of the rod for engaging the ground, a tubular support member secured to the stabilizing plate and extending therefrom in a direction opposed to the elongated rod, said tubular support member having an opening in a portion thereof close to the stabilizing plate, and a cable constructed and arranged to be connected to the satellite dish, the cable extending through the opening in the tubular member whereby, in use, the rod is forced into the ground and upon rotation of the rod, the first auger will engage and pull the rod further into the ground and upon further rotation, the second auger will engage and help pull the rod into the ground until the stabilizing plate engages the ground surface, to firmly support the support member in an upright position without the need for any additional support.
