Complete Specification Left, 16th June, 1896-Accepted. 10th Oct., 1898
I CHARLES HOLLOWAY REED Iron Manufacturer of Trimdon Iron Works Sunderland
in the County of Durham do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
tollows:-
This invention is applicable to that class of anchors known as stockless anchors and
especially to my patent stockless anchor described in Specification No. 16,741 of
A.D. 1894 and consists in making the two faces of the toggle or tripping part of the
arms of the anchor when these are made in one piece of rectangular shape or as
nearly so as required so that when the flukes of the anchor are in active operation
and holding in the ground the underside of the toggle or tripping part will lie
horizontal or nearly so with the ground and the other side will stand perpen·licular
or nearly so to the ground and will thus lend itself to improve and increase the
holding power of the flukes. And also make or do not make as may be required
hollow concave or countersunk parts in the faces of the toggles or tripping parts of
the arms of the anchor which in their form either by suction or otherwise materially
contribute to the holding power of the fukes of the anchor.
My improvements are
1. In the form of the faces of the toggle of tripping parts of the arms of the
anchor.
2. And also in the making of hollow concave or countersunk parts in the faces of
the toggle or tripping part of the arms of the anchor.

I (HARLES HOLLOWAY REED Iron Manufacturer Trimdon Iron Works Sunderland
in the County of Durham do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :—
This invention is applicable to that class of anchors known as stockless anchors and
especially to my patent stockless anchor described in Specification No. 16,741 of
A.D. 1894 and consists in making the two faces of the toggles or tripping parts of the
arms of the anchor when these are made in one piece of rectangular shape or us
nearly so as required so that when the flukes of the anchor are in active operation and
holding in the ground the under side of the toggles or tripping parts will lie horizontal
or nearly so to the ground and the other side will stand perpendicular or nearly so to
the ground and will thus lend themselves to improve and increase the holding power of
the Hukes. And I also make in combination with the rectangular shaped faces of the
toggles or tripping parts of the arms of the anchors caps or plugs of iron or steel or
other suitable material to fit the hole for the crossbar at the back of the rectangular
shaped faces (when the cros-har is not made the full length of the arins) of any
required length and with or without rings shackles or bridle-chains at or near the
Pined

page_text: outer ends or other parts. The caps or plugs are attached or fastened to the reet-
angular shaped faces of the toggles or tripping parts of the arms of the anchor in any
suitable manner. And I also make or do not make as may be required hollow concave
or countersunk parts in the faces of the toggles or tripping parts of the arms of the
anchor which in their form, either by suction or otherwise materially contribute to
the holding power of the flakes of the anchors,
My improvements are
1. In the form of the faces of the toggles or tripping parts of the arms of the
anchors and in combination therewith the fitting of caps or plugs and with or without
rings shackles or bridle-chains.
2. And also in the making of hollow concave or countersunk parts in the faces of
the toggles or tripping parts of the arms of the anchor.
In order that my invention may be better and more clearly seen 1 refer to the
accompanying drawing on which similar letters are used to indicate the parts
described.
Figs. 1. 2. 3 and 4 show four views of a complete anchor. Fig. 1 is a plan view
Fig. 2 is a side elevation Fig. 3 is a crown end view and Fig. 1 is a view of a part of
a cap or plug.
The toggles or tripping parts are marked with the letters a and the letters ed
shew the portion of the foggles or tripping parts when the points of the flukes are
in action and in the ground. is part of a cap or plug which may be variable in
shape and length. The caps or plugs are fitted into the hole at the lack of the
rectangular shapal fees of Wirth rings Duckles and in ille-chains which may
also be variable in shape and dimensions.
The hollow concave or countersunk parts in the faces of the toggles or tripping
parts are shown at // and they may also be of variable shapes and proporti as.
Having now particularly describe and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that
what I claim is
The improved form of the faces of the toggles or tripping parts of the arms of the
anchors in combination therewith the fitting of caps or plugs and with rings shackles
or bridle-chains and the making of hollow concave or countersunk parts in the faces
of the toggles or tripping parts of the arms of the anchors.
