WINDLASS.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIC THOMAS w. HARDIN, on GRANT, IOWA.
WINDLASS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 570,206, dated October 27, 1896.
Application filed December 6, 1895- Serial No. 571,253. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, THOMAS W. HARDIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grant, in the county of Montgomery and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Windlasses; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to windlasses.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple and stronglyconstructed Windlass which may be easily moved from place to place and which will be well adapted for use in connection with moving buildings and extracting stumps.
Vith this object in View my invention consists of certain features of construction and combination of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved Windlass. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional View.
1 denotes the supporting sills or runners, which are connected together by the supporting-block 2, which is recessed on its under side near its ends to fit over the sills. The sills are secured to the block by bolts 3. Projecting upward from the block is a tapering post 3, the extreme upper end of which is reduced, as shown at 4.
5 denotes the winding-drum, which is provided with a tapering bore corresponding to the post, with which it engages.
6 denotes a sweep-head, which is pivoted to the upper reduced end at of the post. This head is cast in one piece and is provided with the sweep-sockets 7 and the lead-pole sockets 8, the latter being arranged above the former and the openings or entrances thereto being at right angles to those of the former. The sweep is retained on the end 4 of the post by a bolt and nut 9, as shown.
10 denotes the sweeps, and 11 the lead-pole. The sweeps are inserted in their sockets and have their inner reduced ends projecting un der the lower wall or bottom of the lead-pole sockets, thereby furnishing a strong support for the sweeps. The sweeps are connected to the drum by links 12, which may either engage hooks 13, formed on the face of the drum, or hooks 14, formed on its upper rim. The lower rim of the drum is toothed and is engaged by a pivoted spring-actuated dog 15, having an operating-handle 16, and is thereby prevented from accidentally unwinding.
A hook 1'7 or other means may be provided for the purpose of attaching an anchoringcord to the block to hold the windlass in place while it is being operated.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the operation of my invention will be readily understood Without requiring further explanation.
The Windlass is simple and strong of construction and will be found to be well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A Windlass comprising supporting-sills, a block bolted to said sills and provided with an upwardly-projecting tapering post, the extreme upper end of which is reduced, a winding-drum having a tapering bore adapted to said post and provided with a lower toothed rim and with hooks, a sweep-head consisting of a single casting loosely mount-ed upon the upper reduced end of the post and provided with sweep-sockets and lead-pole sockets, the former arranged at right angles to the latter, sweeps and lead-poles secured in their respective sockets, the inner ends of the sweeps projecting under the bottoms of the lead-pole sockets, links loosely connected to the sweeps and engaging the hooks of said winding-drum, and a pivoted spring-actuated dog to engage the toothed rim of the winding-drum, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
THOMAS W. HARDIN. Witnesses:
O. S. DONOHO, A. SHAFER.
