Abstract:
A stake consists of two planar panels joined on a longitudinal axis and angularly disposed with respect to one another. Lower portions of the panels converge to a tip on the axis, and an axial tang is formed at the top of the stake. An inwardly directed flange is formed near the top of each panel, the flanges being disposed substantially in a common plane, generally perpendicular to the panels. The flanges and the tang facilitate driving of the stake into a substrate by use of a power hammer, and the driven stake resists both upward and lateral displacement. It is especially adapted for the securement of edging for restraining paving and landscaping materials.

Claim (Index 6):
An assembly comprised of a length of edging for retaining or restraining a landscaping, covering, or paving material, including a bottom wall having front and rear edges, and a lateral wall upstanding along one of said edges of said bottom wall, said bottom wall and said lateral wall of said length of edging being substantially perpendicular to one another, said length of edging being constructed for being disposed against a supporting surface; and a stake for securing said length of edging against such a surface; said length of edging having at least one generally V-shaped aperture extending through said bottom wall thereof and consisting essentially of two slot elements connected at adjacent ends thereof and disposed at an angle of about 45\u00b0 to 135\u00b0 to one another, said at least one aperture in said bottom wall having an apex between said adjacent ends of said slot elements and being oriented with said apex proximate said lateral wall of said length of edging, and said stake being constructed for being driven lengthwise through said aperture in said bottom wall of said length of edging; said stake having a top, a bottom, and opposite lateral edges, and being comprised of two generally planar panels joined to one another along a common rectilinear longitudinal axis and disposed with an internal angle corresponding to the angle between said slot elements of said aperture through said bottom wall of said length of edging, each of said panels providing one of said opposite lateral edges extending substantially along the entire length of said stake, said lateral edges of said panels converging, at least along a lower portion of said stake, to form a tip on said common longitudinal axis at the bottom of said stake, each of said panels having a flange portion at the top of said stake spaced from said longitudinal axis, said flange portions extending inwardly of said stake and being disposed substantially in a common plane that is generally perpendicular to the planes of said panels, said panels cooperatively forming a tang portion at the top of said stake, on said longitudinal axis, extending upwardly beyond said flange portions.
