J. A. HQLZAPFEL ANCHOR I Filed Oct. 16: 1926 11v VENTOR A TTORNEYE BY QM Patented Jan. 4, 1927.
UNITED STATES JOHN A. HOLZAPFEL, F JACKSON, MICHIGAN.
ANCHOR.
Application filed October 16, 1926. Serial No. 142,048.
This invention relates to improvements in anchors, fv
My present improvements are especially designed by me for embodiment in anchors of the type shown in my Letters Patent No. 1393,4189 issued May 13, 1924, in which a grapple member is loosely mounted upon the shank although readily adapted and'desirable for use in other forms of anchors.
The main object of the invention is to provide an improved anchor in which desired weight, within certain limits, can readily be secured.
Objects relating to details and economics of construction and operation will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.
I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification. The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.
A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this application in which:
Fig. I is a side view of my improved anchor.
Fig. II is a transverse section on a line corresponding to line 22 of Fig. I.
Fig. III is a side elevation of one of the weighting members.
Fig. IV is an inside View of one of the shank sections.
In the drawing similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawing, my improved anchor comprises a shank l and grapple member 2. The body portion of the shank is upwardly tapered, having an annular shoulder or stop 3 at the bottom below which is a downwardly tapered tip 4. This shank is formed of a pair of complementary sections 5 having interfitting joint flanges 6 and 7 on their longitudinal edges. These sections are shell-like providing a chamber 8 having weighting material or members such as the sections 9 which are conformed to fit within the weighting chamber.
50 The shank sections have opposed holes 10 adjacent their upper ends and opposed holes 11 adjacent their lower ends to receive the rivets 12 and 13 respectively, the rivet 12 being arranged through holes 14% provided therefor in the weight members 9.
' A longitudinal bore 15 is provided at the upper ends of the shank sections to permit the introduction of filling material such as shot or slugs, or melted lead may be poured in if desired to secure the desired weight.
The grapple member 2 rests upon the shoulder 3, it being preferably loosely mounted as is described inniy said patent.
My improved anchor may be shipped in the knock down and without the weight if desired, the weighting material being inserted by the retailer or purchaser. This is especially advantageous in parcel post and express shipments as the anchors are of necessity of considerable weight.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. An anchor comprising an upwardly tapered shank having a shoulder at its lower end and a conical tip below the shoulder, said shank comprising a pair of complementary longitudinal shell-like sections having coacting joint flanges on their longitudinal edges, said sections having opposed rivet holes and opposed rope eyes at their upper ends, there being a longitudinal bore at the upper ends of said sections providing an opening to the interior of said shank, connecting rivets for said sections disposed through said opposed openings, and a grapple member loosely mounted on said shank and adapted to normally rest on said shoulders.
2. An anchor comprising an upwardly tapered shank having a shoulder at its lower end and a conical tip below the shoulder, said shank comprising a pair of complementary longitudinal shell-like sections having coacting joint flanges on their longitudinal edges, said sections having opposed rivet holes and opposed rope eyes at theirupper ends, connecting rivets for said sections dis- 100 posed through said opposed openings, and a grapple member loosely mounted on said shank and adapted to normally rest on said shoulder.
3. .An anchor comprising an upwardly ta- 105 pered shank having a shoulder at its lower end and aconical tip below the shoulder, said shank comprising complementar longitudinal shell-like sections provi in a weight chamber, there being a longitudinal shank and adapted to normally rest on said shoulder.
4. An anchor comprising an upwardly tapered shank having a shoulder at its lower endand a=eonical tip helow the shoulder, sald shank' comprising complementary lonx gitudinal shell-like sections providing a 'Weight chamber, and a @grapple member loosely mounted on said shank and adapted to normally rest 5 on said shoulder.
5. An anchor comprising an upwardly ta- "per-ed shank'having'a shoulder at itslower end' an d a conical tip below the shoulder,
said shank comprising a pair ofcompleme nta ry longitudinal shell like sections,
weight memberswonformed to fit Within "said shank;a-connecting'rivet for said shank 6. An anchor comprising a shank formed *of a plurality of complementary shell-like sections providing a Weight chamber, Weight section's'fitting Within said chamber, means for securing said shank sections together comprising a rivet arran ed through the shank sections and through saidWeight sections, and a grapple member on said shank.
In Witness whereof "I have hereunto "set 1 my hand.
JOHN AJHOLZAPFEL.
