JoHNE. snAvfnrfoF KENNEBUNKPORT, MAINE, AssIGNoR rro HiMsELF AND MATTHEW E. BOEHNER, or sAME PLACE.
VIIVIPROVED `SAIL-LINK TO'MASTFHOOPS. y
` .,Speoification forming part of Letters Patent No'. 35,654, dated June 17, 1862.
To all whom may concern/.-
Be itrknown that I, .IQHN E. SEAVEY, a citizen of the United States of America, and a 'resident of Kennebunkport 'in the county of @York and` State ofyMaine, have invented a new and useful Device or Mechanism for Connecting a Sailto a MastfHoop; and I do hereby `declare the sameto be fullydescribed in the following specification, andrepresented in the accompanying drawings, of Which- Figure lis atop View, Fig. 2 aside elevation, and Fig. 3a longitudinal section, oi' it.
rlhe ordinary manner of `connecting aforeand-aft sail to a mast-hoop of a vessel has been bymeans of a ropeor line rove in the grommet or eye of the sail and around the hoop. The insecurityeof such-a connection has led me to the invention of a metallic attachment,
which may be described as follows:
A is a shackle, which is connected' to the headofa screw-bolt, B, by a hinge, the joint-' pin of which` isrepresented at b as passing through the tvvo.` The said bolt B screws into a crescent-shaped clasp, C, the whole being formed as showninthe drawings. In the ap- `plication of my invention to a lnast-hoopthe bolt Bis to go through the hoop, the clasp C being extended across the inner surface of the hoop, as shown ,inlFig 4, which denotes a `transverse section of lthetwo.
Fig. 5A is a top'viewof the hoopwith my invention applied to it, such hoop in Figs. 4
`the edge of the sail.
`- Witnesses:
' and being indicaied by the letter D marked `on it.
that of the letter U. Previous to being connected with the bolt such shackle has one of its legs passed through the grommethole at After this may have been done the tongue d of the hinge may be inserted between the legs of the shackle, the pin b `being next passed through the said legs and tongue and fixed in position by a nut, e,
screwed on its end.
` The nut C servesas a guard to prevent the bolt B or a screw-nut screwed upon it from chatng or injuring the ymast while the sail may be in the act of being either raised or lowered. Furthermore, the clasp C operates to prevent4 the hoop from being split by the strains of the JOHN E. sDAvnY.
