Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 11, 1915.
Application filed June 2, 1914. Serial No. 842,458.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JERRY MAsAK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of WVayne and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Anchors, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to anchors for securely anchoring vessels large and small, and especially valuable for anchoring small articles such as decoy ducks and the like, the
object of the invention being to provide an anchor which embodies strength and reliability in. that it is impossible to launch or drop the anchor in such a position that it will fail to obtain a hold on the bed of the stream, the anchor being so constructed and designed that it will right itself under any and all conditions and adjust itself to a secure holding position.
With the above and other objects in View, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as herein described, illustrated and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings :Figure l is a plan view of the anchor. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a per spective view of the anchor.
The anchor contemplated in this invention comprises the shank or stock 1, the same being provided at one end with attaching means for the anchor chain, said attaching means being shown for convenience as consisting of an eye 2. The opposite end of the shank is bifurcated at the point 3 and the branches 4 extending rearwardly therefrom are, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, substantially straight for the major portion of their length although this is not essential to the invention.
The lower end portions of the branches 4 are I recurved or bent into hook form as indicated at 5 and terminate in pointed flukes 6 which face generally toward the eye 2. It will be observed that the recurved or hooked end portions of the branches are curved reversely or in opposite directions relatively to the common plane in which the branches 4 lie. This makes it impossible for the anchor to be dropped, thrown or cast so that it will fail to adjust itself and obtain the necessary hold on the bed of the stream. One fluke must necessarily engage the bed of the stream and bury itself when subjected to the pulling action of the anchor chain.
The anchor hereinabove described is adapted for holding large and small vessels and is especially useful for the smaller ves- I sels. It is also valuable in small sizes for anchoring decoy ducks and the like, it being practically impossible to foul the anchor, there being no cross bar around which the coils of the anchoring chain, rope or cable may become wound.
What I claim is An anchor embodying a straight shank having attaching means at one end, the other end of said shank being bifurcated and the branches thereof being substantially straight and divergent, the end portion of one branch being curved and extended inwardly and to one side only of the common plane of the two branches and provided with an end fluke, and the other branch being curved in the opposite direction and extended inwardly and to the opposite side only of the common plane of the two branches and provided with an end fluke, all parts being formed integrally.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JERRY MASAK.
