SAFET BO
Year: 1884

page_text: I THOMAS SUCKLEY of The Sarn in the Parish of Worthenbury in the County
of Flint, Millwright do hereby declare the nature of SAFETY BOLT invention for.
the purposes hereinafter mentioned to be as follows:-
The safety bolt can be attached to any kind of link or iron straps; the safety
bolt can be attached any where a hook is required such as to vehicles drawn by
traces in case of a horse running away or falling down as the traces can be undone
and the horse released at once; also useful for work where cart horses are employed
when drawing heavy wagons carts and all kinds of agricultural implements; can be
attached to back-boards of traps for safety; to pully blocks & buckling chains;
cow chains, slippers and lock chains for all kinds of carriages; safety bolts for doors
and shutters The improved safety bolt or pin can be made of wrought or cast
iron, steel or any of metal; the safety bolt is thrown out by a short lever which
works up an inclined slot in a socket either on the left or right hand side of a
shackle. When the lever is at the top of the slot the space in the shackle is then
open so as to admit any thing to go out or in. When at the bottom the safety
bolt is closed the lever entering a transverse part of the slot it cannot get loose.
In applying my invention to other purposes in place of an ordinary bolt, the shackle
may be dispensed with.

bolt A is thrown out the lever D which works up the incline slot C in the socket B
which is capped over with the loose cap E and worked on and off the socket B with
the action of the lever D and bolt A this is an improvement on my first application
to keep all dirt out of slot C and can be made of any kind of metal and worked
either on the left or right hand side of the shackle when the lever D is at the top
of the slot C the space in the shackle is then open, so as to admit anything to go
out-or in,-when-at the bottom the Safety bolt A-is closed the lever Dentering a
transverse part of the slot C it cannot get loose; in applying my invention to
