Abstract: 17,333. McMyler, J. Oct. 29, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Grabs. - The bucket, which is formed in two similar open - ended segments B which may be reversed when the jaws are damaged, is suspended from a head or frame A by four links D pivoted on shafts K and to the bucket and by four other links C pivoted on a shaft M on the head and on shafts E carried by ears b<2> on the bucket. Extending between the links D are cross-shafts G which are connected by four links T to a block Q sliding in the frame A and serving to assist the opening movement. The two opening-ropes S are attached to the spindles K and pass around sheaves on the shafts E and over sheaves U mounted between plates Y connected by pins y and hung loosely on the spindles K. The two closing-ropes W are each guided by sheaves V mounted on the frame A in opposite directions around two double sheaves N mounted on the cross-shafts G and are fastened at their ends to the spindle M. In order to guide the ropes W around the double sheaves N, plates P are mounted loosely on each shaft G, one on each side and one intermediate of each double sheave N. Each set of plates P is connected by pins p, one below and the other above and adjacent to the upper and lower runs of the ropes W. The grab is prevented from opening too far by a chain R which is suspended at its centre by a chain r from the sliding block Q to prevent it from hanging down into the bucket. In a modification in which similar basket segments are not employed, only one closing-rope is used, and the guide-plates P are maintained in position without the pins p, by connecting them to links depending from the frame A and arranged parallel to the links D.
