VILLIAH H. PHILLIPS, OF BRIDGE/FON, NEV JERSEY.
HALYARD-CLAM P.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 452,387, dated May 19, 1891. Application tiled December 9, 1890. Serial No. 374,101. (No model.)
T0 all whom it may concern..-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. PHILLIPS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bridgeton, in the county of Cumberland and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful IIalyard-Olamp, of which the following is a specification. Y
This invention is a device for clamping hawsers, halyards, and the like, and is designed especially for use aboard ship in setting sails and the like for the purpose of reducing the number of hands necessary properly to handle the ship, and to provide a device by the use of which the handling of a ship which has been disabled through loss of men from any cause shall be rendered a task of less difficulty and danger.
With these objects in view the invention resides in the various novel details of construction, and in the combination of parts hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims. In the drawings in which I have illustrated my invention, and in which like letters and gures of reference indicate corresponding parts, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a vessel, showing my invention ready to be applied to one of the halyards, using a pin upon the vessel as a fnlcrum. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the device gripped and depressed. Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing the invent-ion applied in the rigging. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of my device detached.
In the drawings, the letter A designates va ship; B, the halyards of the same, and C other portions of the rigging.
D indicates my complete invention, and consists of a lever of the second class D', a lever ofthe first class D12, pivoted upon the same, and a clamping device or jaw D3, also pivoted upon the lever D in a position to co-operate with the end of thelever D2. The lever D is provided at its fulcrum end with a reduced portion d and also with an aperture or hole d. The other end is formed into a handle d2. A bolt or rivet dais passed through suitable openings in the lever D and the lever D2, pivoting the same, and a bolt or rivet dkl pivots in the same manner the jaw or clamp D2 to the lever D. A keeper di is pivoted upon the bolt di, and is Ymeeting faces.
adapted to fit down upon the bolt d4 for a purpose to be described. The meeting faces of the clamp or jaw D3 and the lever D2 are grooved, as shown at- CZG and d?, and these meeting faces may be either inclined at an angle to the general length of the device or at right angles thereto, or these faces maybe curved. The vessel is provided at suitable points with pins or pivots a, and the rigging is provided in suitable positions with loops c. These loops c and these pivot-pins a are adapted torafford fulcruming-points for the device D. l
The operation of the device is as follows: The fulcrum end of the lever D is either pivoted upon one of the pins a, as shown in Fig. l, or within one of the loops c, asr shown in Fig. 3 and the meeting faces of the pivoted lever D2 and the clamp D3 are separated by turning the same upon their pivots. The keeper d5 is swung from over the space between the lever D2 and the clamp D3, and a portion of the hawser inserted between the lever and the clamp. The handles of the two levers D and D2 are now grasped and depressed, thus gripping the halyard, exerting a powerful pull thereon and bringing the device into the position shown in Fig. 2. The object of the keeper Z5 is to retain the halyard within the space between the meeting faces of the lever D2 and the clamp D3 whenever the two become separated by accident.
It ,will be evident that in using my device in pulling down upon the handles of the levers as soon as the hawser or halyard is gripped the same will causel the two meeting faces above mentioned to bite more tightly on the downward pull, and upon the upward pull the hawser will be allowed to slip between the said Thus intermittent pulls of great strength will be exerted upon Athe hawser.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. In a halyard-clamp, the combination, with a lever D', of a clamp pivoted on the body of the said lever, and a lever D2, pivoted also thereto near the clamp, the handles of the two levers extending rearwardly nearly together, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In :i lielynrihehrmp, the combination, with :L lever D', of a grooved clamp pivoted on the body of the said lever, and n lever D2, pivoted also thereto near the clamp, the face of the pivoted lever having :i groove corresponding to the groove in the clamp, and lehe keeper d5, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
3. In a halyard-elamp, the combination of a lever of the second class D', a lever of the rst class D2, pivoted upon the lever D', and a clamping device D3, also pivoted upon the lever D in a position to co-operate with the end of the lever D2, the meeting faces of the lever D2 and the elempD8 being grooved oorrespondingly, and the fulerum end of the lever D being provided with a reduced portion XVILTJAM H.
