CHARLES W. MAXSON,
SAND AND WATER BREAK.
SPECIFICATION forming'part of Letters Patent No. 244,646, dated July 19, 1881.-
' Application filed'March15,188l. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, CHARLES W. MAXsoN, of Point Pleasant, in the county of Ocean and State of New Jersey, and JACOB W. Book, of Freehold, in the county of Monmouth and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sand and Water Breaks, of which the following is a specification.
Figural is a sectional side elevation of our improvement. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a part of the same. 1
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. 7
The object of this invention is to prevent the bluffs or banksof a sea-beach from being washed away by the waves orv covered with sand.
The invention consists in constructing a sand and water break of inclined posts set in the sand, and having planks attached to their forward sides and a plank attached to their upper ends, anchoring-timbers attached to the posts and embedded in the bank or bluff, and' braces attached to posts and proj ectin gin front,
as will be hereinafter fully described.
In the accompanying drawings, A are posts, which are set in the sand with their upper ends inclined from the water. The posts A are set about two feet apart, and extend from about low-water mark to the top of the bank or blufi'.
To the seaward side of the posts A, from low-water mark to their upper ends, are spiked planks B, which may be arranged horizontally, as shown in the right-handpart of Fig. 2, or vertically, as shown in the left-hand part of Fig.2. In the latter case horizontal timbers should be bolted or framed to the ends of the posts A to receive the ends of the planks B.
To the posts A, at suitable distances apart, are bolted the outer ends of horizontal timbers D. The inner ends of the timbers Dare connected by timbers E. g To the timbers DE, attheir points of intersection, are attached upright timbers or posts F, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The timbersD E F are designed to be buried deep in the bank or bluff, so as to anchor the structure securely in place.
With thisconstruction the waves cannot get I OF'POINT PLEASANT, AND JACOB V. BUCK, OF FREEHOLD, NEW JERSEY. 4 I
signed to be buried in the sand, as indicated in Fig. 1.
We are aware that an overlapping upper margin, a face secured to the piling at the rear, and a curved shield with projecting lugs above a foundation of stone and cement, are not new;
but
What we claim as our invention is- The combination of the posts A, set apart about two feet, connected by planks B inclined toward the bank, and provided with a cap of planks, O, projecting seaward, with the bank frames D E F on one side and the braces G H on the other, as shown and described.
