Description
anni sem @met @Wine Leners Patent No. 94,018, lated August 24, 1869.
vIIVIIERO'VEIVIENT IN SAIL-BANKS.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To ail persons to who/m. these presents come:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM MGKAY', of Newburyport, of the county of Essex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sail-Hanks; and do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specication,'and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which-V Figure 1 is a front elevation;
Figure 2, a side'iview;
Figure 3, a longitudinal7 section; and
Figure4, a transverse section of it.
This hank has its body A formed of wood,- and in shape like an 'ox-bow, there being arranged between the two legs a. a of .the bow, a roller, 'B, formed as represented. l
This roller rests and revolves on apin or spindle, C, which extends across the bow and into both legs of it,
the spindleat its ends resting against the legs o f al bowed guard or'metallic strap, D.
This guard D, shaped as shown, spansthe legs of the bow A, and enters recesses made therein to rethe bow A, and above and against the spindle 0.
These rivets serve not only to insure the legs against being split, but they act as supporters to the spindle, to prevent it from wearing the legs.
The guard, by beingcarried around the ends of the bows A, and from one to the other, and in front ofthe roller, answers not only to straighten the bow, but to prevent a jib. next adjacent to that to which the hank may be aflixed from catching against and being cha-fed by the ends of the bow.
When this hank is innse, the middle of its bow A is to be fastened to the sail by a seizing going through the sail and around the middle part of the bow. This is preferable to an eye to the hank to open, as, in case of danger of loss of the sail during tempestuous weather, the seizing can be cut by the knife of a sailor quicker than he canremove the roller or openthe hank, so as to detach the sail from the stay. Thus, with my hank, he will be able to save the sail, when with a hank as made with its body in two parts, hinged together, he would not have time to open the hankso asto free the sail.
The guard also serves' to support the roller-spindle, and to prevent it from wearing endwise through the Vbank.
While the rivetsI hold the legs of the bow A together, and prevent them om being split by the spindle when there is a great'strain upon it, they also serve to sustain the spindle so as to prevent it from wearing down' into the wooden bow.
i The guard also prevents thewooden bowfrom spreading apart under the strain of the sail.
.This sail-bank has been highly approved by nautical men, and on practice is found to be all that is desirable, and far preferable to many others in use. It is very desirable, cheap of construction, and not easy to get out of orden What I claim as my invention, is
The arrangement, as described, of the metallic guard Witnesses:
