UNITED STATES PATENT (DEEIGE.v
ISAAC SOLOMON, OF SOLOMONS ISLAND, MARYLAND.
IMPROVEMENT IN MAST-HOOPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 151,169, dated May 19, 1574; application tiled May 15, 1874.
To all 'whom it may concern Be it known that I, IsAAc SOLOMON, of Solomons Island, in the countyr of Calvert and in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mode of Securing Mast-Hoops to Sails; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specication.
The nature of my invention consists inthe combination of a clamp or arms with a masthoop and sail of a vessel, the peculiar nature and uses of which will be hereinafter described.
In the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, A Avrepresent these hoops, which are made in any of the known and usual ways, and'either of iron or wood, as the case may require.
In wooden hoops, such as represented in Fig. 4, I propose to use a clamp, which is made of metal or wood, such as is represented in Fig. 2. This clamp is provided with an opening which receives the hoop, and two arms, a a, which extend above and below it, as seen. The object of these arms is to enable me to fasten the hoop to the bolt-rope at two different points. The inner face of the arms a t are hollowed out or made concave, so that the clamp will lit snugly against the bolt-rope. The cords which lash the arms a a to the boltrope pass through grummet-holesvor eyelets formed in the sails near the extremities of said arms, so that thus the hoop is rmly secured to the sail at two points, one above and one below said hoop. The object of this is to prevent the sagging of the hoop in hoisting the sail up and catching against the mast.
Vhen the hoop is lashed to the sail at only one point, the other side will drop and drag against the mast, thus oftentimes causing much trouble in raisingthe sail, and at the same time damaging the sail by tearing out the grummet-holes or eyelets.
In Fig. 3 I show an iron or metallic hoop, which has the clamp and its arms either cast upon or formed a part of it. These arms eX- tend both below and above the hoop, as in the other case, and are secured in a similar manner.
Having thus fully described my invention, what Iclaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A mast-hoop having either a movable clamp or one forming a part of it, with arms or their equivalents, for lashing the hoop to the sail and bolt-rope at two or more points, as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of May, 1874.'
ISAAC soLoMoN.
