UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHAN O. WIKMAN, OF EUREKA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO C. F. RODIN,
OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
STAY-SAIL HANK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent; No. 374,330, dated December 6, 1887.
Application filed June 30, 1887. Serial No. 243,045.
To all whom it may concern: I
Be it known that I, J OHAN O. WIKMAN, of Eureka, county of Humboldt, State of California,haveinvented an Improvement in Stay- Sail Hanks; and I hereby declare the following tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
My invention relates to an improved hank for stay-sails; and it consists of hinged jointed sections with a catch and locking device, as will be more fully explained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows the hank-closed. Fig. 2 shows it open.
The irregularly'shaped iron links or hanks to which the stay-sail or jib of a vessel is attached, and which run upon the stay so that the sail may be set or furled, are usually made in a single piece, and it is impossible to take the sail off the stay without either cutting it loose from the hank or casting off the stay itself.
My invention is designed to overcome this difficulty; and it consists in forming the hank A with ajointed hinged section, B, which fits the portion A so as to be perfectly smooth, the hingedjoint being shown in the present case at C, near the lower part of the hank, while the upper part is halved or otherwise fitted upon the correspondingly-shaped portion of that end of the part A, so that when closed it makes a perfectly smooth joint. A catch or staple, D, is fixed to the overlapping part of A, so that when the part B is closed upon it this catch passes through aslot in the (N0 model.)
end of B and projects slightly outside, having a hole, E, through this projecting end to receive the cord or other fastening, which provents its being opened. This cord F has one end secured to an eye, G, fixed upon the part 40 A, and the other end may be passed through the hole in the catch, thus holding the two parts firmly together, as before described.
R represents the stay upon which the hank travels, and J is the rope by which the staysail is attached to the hank. By this construction it is easy to remove the stay-sail whenever it is not needed, instead of furling it in an inconvenient mass upon the mast head or cap, and it can be easily replaced at any time in the same manner.
Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is 7 An improved stay-sail hank, consisting of a section having one end halved, witha staple projecting from said halved portion, a second section jointed at its lower end to the lower part of the first section and having its upper end halved and slotted to fit over said sta- 6:: ple, an eye formed on the first section, and a cord passing through, said eye and through the staple, whereby the sections are secured, as herein described. I
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
' J. O. WIKMAN.
