ALBERTO BOSCH, or mnnnn, CUBA ANCHOR FOR BOATS Application filed September 21, 1931, Serial No. 564,213; and in Cuba January 29, 19,31. p
This invention relates to improvements in anchors and has for its object to provide an improved construction which will aflord a high degree of security when the anchor is lowered into position and which, when tension is applied to the attaching cable, will, quickly and effectually release itself from objects engaged therewith and thus facilitate the lifting of the anchor.
In the accompanying drawing wherein an approved embodiment of the invention is illustrated Fig. 1 is an edge elevation anchor.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the body of the anchor, the attaching ring thereof being removed.
Fig. 4 is a detail plan view of the attaching ring and rod removed from the body of the anchor.
Figs. 5, 6, 7 and 8 are views illustrating the various positions of the anchor during lifting thereof.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the body of the anchor is indicated at 1 and throughout the major portion of its length it is flat. One end of the body is rounded and the opposite end thereof is formed with a slit, the portions at the opposite sides of the slit being turned outwardly and pointed to form two oppositely curved tongues 4. The rounded end of the body 1 is formed with a marginal rib 1b which extends along the two sides thereof to a point adjacent the base of the tongues 4 so as to prevent the anchor from lying upon its edge on the sea bottom. Theportions of the body lying above and below the rib 1b are recessed as of the improved 0 indicated at 1d to aid in preventing the anchor from slipping.
At a point adjacent the inner extremities of the tongues 4, the body 1 is provided with recesses la receiving the inturned ends 24; of the attaching ring 2. The recesses 1a. are arranged in relatively close relation to the extremity of the body carrying the. tongues 4 so that when suspended by the ring 2 the anchor body assumes an upright posi- 0 tion with the tongues 4 uppermost. The relatively wide base portions 1c of the tongues coact. with the'adja'cent substantially paral lel portions 2b of thering to normally mainswung to the positions shown in Figs. 7 and 60 A red 3. is pivotally mounted'intermediate its ends on the medial portion'ofthe ring 2 as indicated at 36, and is attachedat one end to acable- 5. The oppositeextremity of 6,5 the rod 8, which is grooved at 3a, normally occupies a position between the pointed extremities of the tongues 4 and further aids in maintaining the ring 2 in} proper posi tion with respect to the tongnes'f4.
In lowering the anchor to operative position it is suspended from the cable 5in an upright position with the tongues 4"uppermost, and upon reaching the bottom it assumes the position shown .in Fig. 5. In the '15. act' oflifting the anchor, a pull is exerted on the cable 5 and the vessel to which the anchor is attached is brought into approximate position shown in Fig. 6. By continning the pull on the cable 5, the ring 2fis 8Q expanded in passing over the base portions 10 of the tongues and moves 'froin the posi'-, tionshown in Fig. 6 to that shownin Fig.
7. the tension on the cable'is'increased the body is swung upwardlywith one of the E anchoring tongues 4 as a fulcrum to the position shown in Fig.8 in which the tongues are freed, and by continuing the upward pull on the cable, the anchor may be completely raised.
I claim:
1. An anchor comprising a flat body slit at one end to define anchoring tongues, the two tongues being curved outwardly in opposite directions and projecting laterally 2 beyond the flat sides of the body, and a I supporting ring pivotally attached to the body at a point adjacent the slit end whereby the weight of the opposite end of the body tilts the latter to a verticalposition 1,0
,. weight of with the tongues disposed uppermost when the body is held suspended from said ring.
2. An anchor comprising a fiat body slit at one end to define anchoring tongues, the two tongues being curved outwardly in opposite directions and projecting laterally beyond the flat sides of thebody, and a supporting ring pivotally attached -to the body at a point adjacent the slit end whereby the weight of the opposite end of the body tilts the latter to a vertical position with the tongues disposed uppermost when the body is held'suspended from said ring said tongues having such width at the base' portions thereof as to normally confine the ring in position between the tongues.
33. An anchor comprising a flat body slit at one end to define anchoring tongues, the two tongues being curved outwardly in opposite directions and projecting laterally beyond the fiat sides of the body, and a supporting ring pivotally attached to the body at a point adjacent the slit end whereby'the the opposite end of the body tilts the latter to a vertical position with the tongues disposed uppermost when the body is held suspended from said ring, said tongues having such width at the base portions thereof as to normally confine'the ring in position between the tongues and permitting the ring to swing to a position substantially perpendicular to the body upon application of suificient force to the ring to cause the latter to move past the base portions of the tongues.
4. An anchor comprising a flat body slit at one end to define anchoring tongues, the two tongues being curved outwardly in opposite directions and projecting laterally beyond the flat sides of the body, a supporting ring pivotally attached to the body at a point adjacent the slit end whereby the weight of the opposite end of the body tilts the latter to a vertical position with the tongues disposed uppermost when the body is held suspended from said ring, and a rod pivotally mounted intermediate its ends on the medial portion of the ring and, during the use of the anchor, occupying a position between the tongues.
