WILLIAM R. BOYER, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
GALLEY FOOT-LOCK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 6, 1914.
Application filed January 4, 1912. Serial No. 669,368.
To all wom it may concern Be it known that I, XVILLIAM R. BOYER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelpha and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Galley Foot-Locks, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements n galley foot locks, the Object of the invention being to provide a device of this character which may be manufactured and sold at an extremely low price, which will neither harm the galley nor the type or slugs therein, and which may be quickly placed in position or removed, and when in position efi'ectually hold the matter set up in the galley.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and conbinations and arrangements of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the Claim.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure l, is a plan view illustrating my improved foot lock in operation. Fig. 2, is a perspective View of the foot lock, and Fig. 3, is a view Similar to Fig. 2 illustrating a modification.
1, represents an ordinary galley, and 2 slugs or type set up in the galley.
My improved foot lock comprises a spring bar 3, having enlargements 4 secured on the ends thereof, and said enlargements and the spring bar of a Combined length greater than the internal width of the galley, so that when the foot look is placed in the galley, it is necessary to bow the spring as shown in Fig. 1, whereby a continuous pressure is had upon the enlargements 4, which latter bear against the inside walls of the galley, as well as the slugs or type therein. These enlargements 4 may be variously made and of various material, a simple construction is llustrated in Figs. 1, and 2, in which these enlargements are of cylindrical form, preferably, though not essentially, of metal and having the ends of the spring bar 3 embedded in the said enlargements, and rigidly secured therein.
In Fig. 3, a modification is illustrated in which the enlargements 5 are semi-oylindrical in form, and it is to be understood, of course, that. the dimension of these foot looks corresponding to the depth of the galley, is less than the height of the type or slugs, so that the latter project in a higher plane than the lock.
lVith my improvements, the lock can be readily sprung into place, and will eifectually hold without any danger of injuring the galley or the top. The spring produces a rotary strain on the enlargements and on account of their form said enlargements engage the type at an appreciable distance from the galley walls.
Various slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangement of parts described without departing from my invention, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the Spirit and scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A galley foot lock eomprising a straight bar of spring metal and enlargements on the ends of said bar, said bar and enlargements of a Combined length greater than the width of the galley with which it is adapted to be used, in order that when in position in said galley said spring bar will be bowed, and said enlargements having rounded outer faces adapted to engage both the side walls of the galley and the type therein at an appreciable distance from the said side walls, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
WILLIAM R. BOYER.
