ZOall whom it maylconcerm Be itknown that" I, GUINON, of Brooklyn,,in the county of Kings and Stateof New1York,ihaveinvented and made anew and useful Improvement in Anchors forVessels; andI do hereby de Clare that the following {is a full, clear, and f exact description of theflconstructionand operation of the same, reference being. had to the annexed drawing, making -part'of this Riemann V. DE
. Figure l, is a verticalsection of an anchor as fitted withmy improvements; Fig. 2, is 3 an elevation .endwise of the arms and flukes and Fig.13,is a plan below the line a, a, of
Fig. 1. The like marks of reference denote the 1 same parts.
The nature of my said invention'consists in providing movable flukes, constructed in sucha manner that they canbe attached to the ordinaryanchor or to an anchor specially adapted to receive them, so. as to form a concave basin of large area suitable for a sandy or muddy bottom.
In the annexed drawing 6, is theshank 0, c, the arms, d,d-, the flukes, e, thering to receive the cable, and is the stock,collect-;
ively forming an ordinary anchor.
1, is a collar attached to or formed with the shanknear the crown, beneath which collarthe: straight side o-feach of the flukes orscoops .9, sets, the said scoops being provided with semi circular notches to pass the shank. formed of either wrought or 'cast iron, and
of a shape to set ontoand coincide with the arms 0, andjnear thepoint of each of said movableflukes a strap; or thimble 2, is provided to receive the end of. the arms 0, and connect said flukes to the arms. Whenever These movableflukes g are to be these movable flukes are required in consequence of the sandy ormuddy@character of the bottom, eachfluke ,lSJlOWGIQd, by means of eyes or ring bolts 7, 7 onto its respective arm 0, .andthe point of the-arm passes into thefthimble or strap 2, while the said a fluke, bymeans of itsksemi circular notch a passes beneath the collar 1, thereby. any seastriking beneath said movable fiukes cannot \displace the same; and order to sustain the said movable flukesnear their edges I provide joints 5, connecting tie rods 72., h,
7 to said fiukes; the pair of tie rods thus con nected to each fluke are united near their upper ends as seen inFig. 2, andformed ATES PATENT DEFICE.
- ANCHOR.
. Specification of Letters Patent No. 12,622, dated April 3, 1855.
with an eye receiving a bolt 6, which bolt also passes through ears i, i, on the sides of the shank near the stock f, thereby connecting the sides of the movable flukes to near the top of the anchor and making said flukes capable of sustaining any strain to which they may be subjected. I also provide lugs 3, 3, on the straight edges of the fiukes where they come together (at right angles to the arms through holes in which lugs bolts 4;, a, are passed, and retained in place by means of split keys passing through a mortise in each bolt, 4, thereby holding said movable flukes permanently toeach other.
It will now be apparent that whenever the character of the bottom, or the force of a gale renders it probable that a vessel will drag the ordinary anchor that these movable flukes should be attached in their place and when in use will take hold of such a mass of-sand or mud as effectually to prevent the anchor being dragged; and it will also be apparentthat the additions made to the ordinary anchor to allow of these movable flukes being attached, do not interfere with the efficiency of the anchor when used without said movable flukes.
When the anchor is to be heaved, or hoisted in, a chain attached to the eye 8, should first be heaved on, which lifting the crown of the: anchor discharges all the sand or mud which would otherwise be lifted in the anchor flukes g, g. If found necessary projections may be formed on the convex sides of the movable flukes to set on each side of the arms 0, to guide and steady the fiukes when being lowered down into place.
I do not claim fitting an anchor so as to hold in mud or sand by providing either large fixed or movable flukes in themselves but VVhatI desire to secure by Letters Patent IS.' i i I claim the method herein described of fitting a pair of movable flukes (g) to a suitable anchor, so as to fit it to hold insoft or sandy soil, by means of the tie rods h, thimble 2, and collar 1, for thepurposes and as specified;
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my signature the 10th March 1855.
