UNITED STATES PATENT FFlCE.
RICHARD TAYLOR, OF VVADENA, MINNESOTA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO CHARLES N. MILLER, OF SAME PLACE.
SAILlNG VESSEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 597,191, dated January 11, 1898.
Application filed January '7, 1897. fierial No. 618,351. (No model.)
To (all? whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RICHARD TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at VVadena, in the county of WVadena and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sailing Vessels; and I do hereby declare the followingtobea 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.
This invention has reference to improve ments in what is known as a horse for sailing vessels-that is to say, the loop to which the rope from the sail is fastened. This is called a horse; and it is the object of my invention to provide an improvement in this part of a vessel-which is intended to prevent a vessel from capsizing or listing over to an excessive degree under squalls of wind.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an end view of a sailing vessel provided with my improvements. Fig. 2 is a detail view of the improvements on an enlarged scale.
The present method of securing the sail is sometimes by means of a rope, which is fastened to a cleat on the vessel, while at other times the horse that is used consists merely of a bent piece of iron secured to the deck or thwart of a vessel near the stern and in a rigid manner. 'When the vessel tacks or comes about, the traveler-ring, which is connected with a rope from the sail, slides along to either end of this horse, and owing to sudden sqnalls of wind in either of the above stated cases the sail pulls directly upon the cleat on the rigid end of the horse, thereby exerting a tendency to cause the vessel to list further or capsize.
In said drawings, 1 is the deck of a vessel, and 2 the horse. The downturned ends of the horse 2 are secured to a plate 3, which is held at its center by post or pin at, rising from the deck. The plate 3 is slidingly connected with the pin at, so that it has a slight vertical play thereonthat is to say, the pin acts as a guide for the plate. To prevent the plate from turning, the stops 5 are fastened to the deck of the vessel and near each end of the plate and at the rear side thereof. These stops 5 are in the form of blocks or uprising brackets and obviously prevent the rotation of the horse. 6 indicates the traveler-ring, and 7 the rope connected therewith and with the sail.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isa The combination with a vessel, of a plate 3, a headed pin 4 rigidly secured to said vessel and passing through an opening midway between the ends of said plate, said plate having a sliding connection with said pin, uprising stops 5 secured to said vessel and in the rear of the end portions of said plates to prevent the rotation thereof, and a horse 2 secured to said plate and adapted to be con"- nected with the sail of the vessel.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
RICHARD TAYLOR. WVitnesses:
W. H. RYAN, O. W. MILLER.
