Benefits of technology

The patent describes a way to connect a pipe to a plate using a welded socket and screw-on pipe. The pipe contains a stopper-bar that prevents it from being detached from the plate. The pipe can still spin easily while the cable remains stationary. The cables are connected to the plate through the stopper-tube and then crimped within the pipe, ensuring a secure and durable connection.

Problems solved by technology

However, permanently mounted stakes can cause accidents and are difficult when storing portable pits.

Embodiment Construction

[0002]The game of horseshoe-pitching has a landing-pit. This pit can be clay, dirt or sand on the earth or portable when mounted on a flat surface such as a steel plate. If the stake is removed, it can get lost or be used as a weapon, so permanently mounting the sake prevents this. However, permanently mounted stakes can cause accidents and are difficult when storing portable pits. The invention claimed here solves this problem.

[0003]This invention solves this problem by having one end of a wire cable secured within the stake (pipe).

[0004]The other end of the cable is fed through a threaded socket such as a flange or plumber's end-cap and then anchored to the landing-pit (steel plate).

[0005]The claimed invention differs from what currently exists. Other landing-pit stakes are permanently mounted or fully removable.

[0006]This invention is an improvement on what currently exists. Other landing-pit stakes are not permanently mounted, so stakes can get lost or be used as a weapon. Perma...

If the stake is removed, it can get lost or be used as a weapon, so permanently mounting the sake prevents this. However, permanently mounted stakes can cause accidents and are difficult when storing portable pits. This invention connects the stake to the landing-pit by a cable. The stake can be screwed into a socket when in use or unscrewed when not in use. The cable is connected in such a way as to not twist when screwing the stake on and off.DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION[0002]The game of horseshoe-pitching has a landing-pit.
