Part of which Improvements is Applicable to Rope or Line
Hauling Machines Generally.
We, WILLIAM MORRISON and JAMES BOAG MORRISON of No. 22 Jane Street, Leith
in the County of Midlothian, North Britain, Engineers 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 :-
Our Invention, which relates to improvements in machines for hauling fishing lines
and nets, part of which improvements, is applicable to rope or line hauling machines
generally, consists of a hollow box or casing carried upon a standard. Within such
casing there are two or more spur pinions gearing into each other on the axis one of
which is a fly-wheel and handle for operating the machine-The spindle of the other
spur pinion projects through the opposite side of the casing and on this the hauling
wheel or wheels over which the line, not or rope to be hauled passes is or are carried.
A stud with a grooved pulley on it may also be fixed on the machine for the purpose
of "holding on as well as for guiding the rope, whilst a handle is also fixed to or
screwed on to the machine for the purpose of holding it in position and one end of
which also constitutes a nut key or spanner-The hauling wheel or wheels is or are
formed with a wave line groove in place of a continuous straight line groove as
hitherto used and this part of the invention is applicable to hauling machines
generally.
In order that our said invention may be properly understood and readily carried
into effect we proceed to describe the drawings hereunto annexed.
Figure 1, is an elevation partly in vertical section of a machine constructed
according to our said invention.
Figure 2, is an elevation of the same at right angles to Figure 1, shewn with the
fly wheel removed.
The arrangement of our invention as shown on the annexed sheet of drawings
consists of a box or casing marked A, carried upon or formed in one with the sleeve B
supported upon the standard marked B',-Within the said casing marked A, are two
or more spur pinions marked C, and D, gearing into each other; the said spur
pinions being actuated by the fly wheel marked E, secured upon the spindle
marked F, which also carries the pinion D. The fly wheel E, is provided with the
handle E, for operating the machine-The spindle or shaft F, of the spur wheel
marked C, is carried in a bearing at the upper part of the casing A, as shewn and
through which it projects in order to carry the wave groove pulley marked G, which
forms the essential feature of our invention and over which the line, net, or ropes is
passed. A stud H, having a grooved pulley J, running loose thereon is cast or
otherwise secured to the lower part of the sleeve marked B, as shewn for the purpose
of "holding on as well as for guiding the ropes, lines, or nets.
"

page_text: We form upon the said sleeve B, suitable bosses marked K, and K³, having an
internal screw thread into which may be screwed or otherwise secured a set screw
marked L, for the purpose of holding the machine in position.
This set screw L, may conveniently take the form of a spanner or nut wrench with
jaws M, as shewn in the accompanying drawings.
It is to be understood that in place of using one wave groove pulley G, upon a
shaft F, more than one such pulley may be so used so that more than one rope or line
may be hauled at once, that is to say each such rope or line in each such wave groove
pulley.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1st. The hauling pulley for use in hauling machines generally constructed with a
deep V-shaped wave line groove into which the hauling rope or its equivalent passes
substantially as herein before described.
2nd. The hauling machine as herein described and shewn in the accompanying
drawing in which a single wave line pulley or more than one such pulley is or are
employed in combination with the other parts or gearing or with equivalent parts or
other equivalent gearing substantially as herein described and shewn on the annexed
drawings.
