Abstract
Abstract Secured to a base plate and extending upwardly therefrom at an acute angle is a tubular member adapted to receive an inclined leg of an outdoor gym set. The tubular member carries clamping means for securely holding the leg within the member. The plate and attached leg are anchored by driving into the ground a pin having a portion passing through an aperture formed in the plate. The aperture lies substantially in the axial plane of the tubular member and is located so that the member is inclined away from the aperture. The device provides a firm support for a gym leg and restrains it against sinking into the ground.
