Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 14, 1907.
Application filed January 24, 1906. Serial No. 297,637.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM D. GIFT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Vernon, in the county of Jennings, State of Indiana, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Rowing Devices; and I do hereby 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.
This invention relates to rowing devices and has for its object to provide a simple device, by means of which a person may face the bow of the boat while rowing.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a top plan view of a row-boat showing my invention applied thereto' Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a similar view on the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view through one of the bearing blocks, in a plane at right angles to the plane of Fig. 2, and, Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of one of the end plates for the rock-shaft.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 denotes a row-boat of any desired construction, to thesides of which are secured pairs of spaced bearing blocks 2. One of the bearing blocks 2 of each pair is bifurcated at its upper end and is provided with a block 3 arranged to seat in the said bifurcation and to be held therein by means of a set-screw 4;. A squared rock shaft 5 is provided at each of its ends with an end plate 6 which includes a stem 7, the stem of the end plate at one end of the rock shaft being seated in one of the bearing blocks and the other stem at the other end of the said rock-shaft being seated in the bifurcation in the other of said bearing blocks and being held therein by means of the block 3 on set-screw 4.
An car 6 has its end bifurcated as at 7 to receive the stem 8 of an apertured knuckle 9 which is engaged with a stud 10 carried by a plate 11 which is secured in any suitable manner to one face of the squared rock shaft 5.
A lever 12 is likewise bifurcated as at 13 and is provided with a knuckle 14 similar in construction to the knuckle 9 and which is engaged with a stud 15 carried by a plate 16 secured to the said rock shaft. suitable manner to the adjacent faces of the oar 6 and the lever 12 are brackets 17 including spaced apertured ears 18 between which are received knuckles 19 carried by the ends of a connecting rod 20, the said knuckles 19 being held between the ears 18 by means of a suitable pivot bolt.
It will be readily seen that movement of the levers 12 in the same manner as a pair of oars, will cause the oar 6 to have a movement which is the reverse of that of an ordinary pair of oars.
What is claimed is:
A device of the class described comprising spaced bearings, a rock shaft having. reduced ends and having one of its ends engaged in a bearing opening formed in one of said members and its other end seated in a bifurcation formed in the other bearing member, the opposing walls of the bifurcation being parallel, and a bearing block engaged in the bifurcation above the said end of the shaft and having its under face concaved to embrace the shaft the said bearing member being provided adjacent its upper face with a recess and with an opening communicating with the recess, the bearing block being provided with an opening in alinement with the afore said opening, the other member formed by the bifurcation being provided with a threaded bore, and a bolt engaged through the opening and having a threaded end engaged in the bore, the head of the bolt being seated in the recess formed in the first named portion of the bearing member.
In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM D. GIFT.
