UNITED STATES PATENT OFF CE.
ELISHA ROBBINS, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS.
ANCHOR-SUPPORTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 254,161, dated February 28, 1882.
Application filed October 24, 1881. (No model.)
To all whom z'tmay concern Be it known that I, ELISIIA. ROBBINS, of the city and county of Worcester, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Anchor-Supporter or device for facilitating the taking inboard of an anchor of anavigable vessel; and I do hereby declare the same to be described in the following specification and represented in the accompanying drawin gs, of which" Figure 1 is a top view, Fig. 2 a rear elevation, and Fig. 3 a loi'igitudinal section, of it.
The nature of my invention is defined in the claim hereinafter made.
In the drawings,Adenotesafurcated tongue, to whose prongs a a there are fixed transversely two parallel bars,BB,having between them and supported in bearings in them two rollers, G 0, whose axes converge to a common center or point. Between such rollers, and also between and fastened to the said prongs, is a metallic cup or pocket, D, suitably formed to receive the bill of the fluke of an anchor. Thlese rollers I usually make tapering or conica The mode of usingthe said anchor-supporter may be thus described: On an anchor having been drawn up to the cat-head of a vessel, the supporter is to be passed over the side of the hull and toward the billof the anchor in a manner to cause such bill to enter the pocket. While the anchor may be in the act of being drawn up to or upon the rail, the supporter, with the fluke-bill in its pocket, is to be moved up with the anchor, the rollers being caused to rest and roll against the side of the hull,t-hereby keeping the anchor from direct contact therewith and doing injury thereto.
I do not claim as my invention an anchor supporter or shoe, consisting of the fluke-bill pocket and its sustaining truck and tongue, constructed as set forth in the United States Patent No. 214,792, in which the rollers are arranged with their axes crosswise of the tongue, whereas in my improved device the rollers are disposed nearly parallel with the axis of the tongue, they inclining toward a common center, as represented, this arrangement of them rendering the article or anchor-supporter much more convenient for use and better adapted for its purpose.
hat, therefore, I claim is-- I The combination of the furcated tongue A, parallel bars B7B, and anchor-bill pocket D, arranged as represented, with the rollers CG, supported by the said bars, and disposed nearly parallel to the axis of the tongue and inclined toward a common center, all being substantiall y and for the purpose as set forth.
ELISHA ROBBINS.
