PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in the Construction of Swivels.
CHARLES BROWN 75 Wisemore Walsall Spring Hook and Chain Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An improvement.in the construction of swivels as follows
I first make a hollow cone, pear shape or otherwise, split longitudinally. Inside
the cone at either ends I make two ridges. I then make two bolts having eyelets
(either split bolts or not as I may prefer). These bolts have a hollow in the shaft,
corresponding to the ridges in split cone. To form ny swivel I place the shaft
of each bolt within each end of my split cone which I hammer close together.
The ridges in the cone work in the hollow or groves of the shafts.
If I prefer
can split my bolt shafts so that I can attach a loose ring or chain before inserting
them to the cone. My swivel can be used for all purposes to wich swivels can be
applied.

CHARLES BROWN 75 Wisemore Walsall Spring Hook and Chain Manufacturer
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:-

them in the cone. My swivels can be used for all purposes to which swivels can be
applied.
will describe my invention by referring to the accompanying drawings on
which
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my improved swivel as shown connected to a ring
at one end and a chain at other,
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of same
Fig. 3 is a sectional plan of same.
One form of my improved swivel is as follows, I provide a cone or barrel as
shown in A Fig. 1. either of brass, steel, or malleable iron which is chambered
inside A. Fig. 4. I also provide two bolts, B. These bolts are cast open as in
Fig. 5. now thread into these bolts a ring or chain Fig. 1. C & D and
hammer close as Fig. 5. I place these two bolts in my barrel with the two
heads D Fig. 2 fitting in the chamber A Fig. 2 and hammer or close up, thus

page_text: making a strong free and durable swivel for all purposes at the same time giving
the advantage over other swivels of joining solid articles together without welding
brazing or soldering which is usually employed.
Fig. 6 shows a solid bolt with rope attached.
Fig. 7 shows solid bolts with square eye and strap attached.
Fig. 8 shows solid bolt with oval eye for attaching strap.
Fig. 9 shows a solid bolt with an oval link for attaching chain.
Fig. 10 shows solid bolt with crew for closing down.
Fig. 11 shows solid bolt with D shape eye for attaching strap.
Fig. 12 shows solid bolt with pair of eyes for attaching pair of straps.
Fig. 13 shows solid bolt with pair of eyes for attaching pair of chains.
Fig. 14 shows split bolt with Walley's solid eye clip hook attached.
Fig. 15 shows solid bolt triangular eye for attaching strap.
Fig. 16 shows solid bolt cast or forged to ordinary spring hook.
'Fig. 17 shows solid bolt cast or forged to flag swivel.
Fig. 18 shows solid bolt cast or forged to ordinary spring billett.
It will be seen by the accompanying drawings that all my bolts wheathe
split E Fig. 2 or solid have hollow shafts, F. Fig. 2 fitting into 'the ridges of' B
Fig. 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, L declare that what
claim is
The improved swivel for chains, straps ropes and the like, here in befor
described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings, that is to say a swivel fo
the purposes described consisting of a metal steel or iron barrel chambered inside
also two bolts having heads and shafts fitting in chamber and ridges of barrel spli
or solid bolts as may be required.
