6 Claims. (Cl. 114-210) This invention relates to an anchor chock of the type used to receive and hold a boat anchor when the anchor is in tcliie up position-that is, when the anchor is not being use It is an object of this invention to provide a simple, light weight, anchor chock made of metal, plastic, or the like, which may be easily and simply attached to a oat.
More specifically, it is an object of this invention to provide an anchor chock having an arrangement whereby the boat anchor will be securely held in the anchor chock when it is raised so as to prevent the anchor from swinging freely on the bow of the boat which would cause harm to the sides of the boat, as is usual with anchors of the small boat type.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an anchor chock which may be used in connection with the anchor disclosed in Patent No. 2,612,131, issued September 30, 1952, to V. G. Benedict.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an anchor chock that will insure the secure positioning of the above-mentioned anchor in the anchor chock regardless of the orientation of the anchor while being raised.
The invention consists of the novel features and of the combinations and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In describing this invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawings in which like characters designate corresponding parts in all the views.
In the drawings- Figure 1 is a top plan view of the anchor chock with the anchor resting therein.
Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of Figure 1 taken on line 22 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the anchor chock alone taken on line 3--3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a side plan view of the anchor chock alone.
Figure 5 is a front plan view of the anchor chock shown in Figure 4.
The anchor chock, generally designated at 10, consists of a. flat base portion 11 having at its rearward end a triangular mounting portion 15 with a plurality of apertures 16 therein for mounting the anchor chock on the bow of a boat 17 (see Figure 2), by a plurality of fasteners 18. Mounted on the base plate and upstanding therefrom is a pair of forwardly extending walls 20 having a pair of upstanding cars 22 at their rearward end. The walls 20 are spaced apart on the base plate so as to provide a groove, recess, or channel 25, which extends along the entire length of the base plate. The walls 20 extend upwardly and forwardly towards the forward end of the anchor chock and terminate in a pair of laterally offset thickened shoulders 30. These shoulders slope inwardly and downwardly towards the forward end of the anchor chock, as indicated at 32 for a purpose hereinafter described.
At the bottom of the shoulders and forward terminus of the groove, a roller 40 is mounted on a pin 41 carried Patented Apr. 7, 1959 by a downwardly and rearwardly depending lip portion 42 on the shoulders 30. Depending from the under side of the base plate near the forward end thereof is a boss 45 having an aperture 46 therein. This boss is further provided with a screw hole 47 to affix the anchor chock to the how 17 of the boat, as by a fastener 18. The aperture 46, in the boss 45, is used to insert a tie-up line therethrough to be used in the mooring or docking of the boat.
The anchor, shown in Figures 1 and 2 and generally designated by the numeral 50, is composed of a center yoke portion 51 having a pair of flukes 52 pivotally mounted, as at 55, to the forward end of the yoke 51 for the purpose as described in Patent No. 2,612,131.
In operation, when the anchor, which is connected to the line 60 by the ring 61, is raised, the line 60 will be received in the groove 25 and will roll over the roller 40. As the anchor 50 approaches the roller, the ring 61 will engage the roller and roll upwardly over the roller and along the shoulders 30 towards the rear of the anchor chock. The yoke 51 of the anchor will then engage the roller 40 and, by reason of the downward and inward slope 32 of the shoulders 30, the yoke will be received in the groove 25 of the anchor chock. At the same time, the flukes 52 of the anchor will pivot on the yoke at 55 to the position shown in Figure 2 and thus form a stop or limit on the rearward motion of the anchor 50 when the flukes engage the roller 40 and lip portion 42. It will thus be seen that regardless of the orientation of the anchor 50 when it is being raised as it approaches the anchor chock, the roller 40, shoulders 30 and groove 25 will cause the yoke 51 to be received in the groove 25 as the anchor is moved rearwardly, thus causing the flukes 52 to be stopped by the roller 40 and lip portion 42 and insuring a safe, secure, resting position for the anchor in the anchor chock.
What I claim is:
1. A boat chock comprising an elongate fiat base plate provided with means for aflixing said base plate to a boat, a pair of upstanding walls fixed on the base plate in spaced apart relation, said walls being laterally offset at the forward portion of the base plate to provide a pair of shoulders, said shoulders and walls providing, in conjunction with the base plate, an anchor receiving recess.
2. A device for mounting on a boat comprising a base plate, a pair of upstanding walls fixed on the base plate a spaced distance apart forming a groove, said walls be ing thickened at their forward terminus to provide a pair of shoulders, said shoulders raising upwardly from said base plate and slanted inwardly toward said groove, the lower portions of said shoulders depending downwardly from said base plate to form a lip which acts in conjunction with the walls, groove, and shoulders, to receive an anchor when the device is mounted on a boat.
3. An anchor chock comprising an elongate base plate having a pair of upstanding walls mounted on said base plate a spaced distance apart forming an anchor yoke receiving channel therebetween, said walls terminating at their forward end in a pair of shoulders, said shoulders being spaced apart so as to provide a groove which communicates with said channel, means mounted in said groove to assist in guiding an anchor into said groove.
4. Claim 3, wherein said means comprise a roller mounted between said shoulders in said groove.
5. An anchor chock comprising a base plate, a pair of spaced apart upstanding walls mounted on said base plate, said walls being laterally offset at their forward end to form a pair of shoulders, said spaced apart walls and shoulders forming an anchor receiving recess, a roller mounted in the forward end of said recess between said shoulders.
3 6. Claim 5, wherein said shoulders extend forwardly beyond the forward end of the base plate and terminate in a downwardly extending manner to form a lip portion, said roller being mounted between said shoulders in said lip portion.
