We WILLIAM HEWITT Hunslet, Leeds, Mechanic and THOMAS DINEEN Queen St
Leeds Merchant do hereby declare the nature of our Invention AN IMPROVED
APPLIANCE FOR SECURING TARPAULIN ON SHIPS HATCHES AND OTHER USES to be
as follows:-
-
It consists of a novel and cheap block of iron brass copper or other suitable
material on the screw thread or worm principal which is worked or suspended on
an iron wood copper or other bolt or pin having a large and suitable shaped head
we prefer it round being better adapted for its use-The end of this bolt or pin is
to be rivited or fixed to the side of the hatch for steam or sailing ships or boats of
every description using hatches to prevent the tarpaulin cover coming loose by the
action of the wind or otherwise The said Appliance being tightened or loosened
by having a hole or holes in the sides in which the end of a bar or pin is placed,
thus forcing the appliance or block round as if screwed which forces the said
appliance to press against the iron bar thus pressing the tarpaulin against the sides
of the hatch thereby preventing it coming loose except by reversing the appliance
by means of a bar as before stated and whilst tightened keeps the hatch waterproof.
We claim as our Invention the said Appliance or block and pin being an
Improvement on the present method of securing the hatch tarpaulin We prefer
the said block being made of iron it being cheaper and more durable and a tighter
grip can be got on the cross bar to fasten the tarpaulin.
This Invention can be applied as a Vice to Engineers, Joiners and other benches
and will be found well adapted for these and many other purposes.

We WILLIAM HEWITT, Hunslet, Leeds, Mechanic and THOMAS DINEEN Queen St.
Leeds Merchant do hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVED
APPLIANCE FOR SECURING TARPAULINGS ON SHIPS HATCHES AND OTHER USES,
APPLICABLE ALSO AS A VICE and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-—
It consists of a novel and cheap block of iron, brass, copper or other suitable
material on the screw thread or worm principle, which is worked or suspended on
an iron, wood, copper brass or other bolt or pin having a large and suitable shaped
head we prefer it round, being better adapted for use -The end of this bolt or pin
is to be rivited or fixed to the side of the hatch for steam or sailing ship or boats of
every description using hatches to prevent the Tarpauling Cover coming loose by
the action of the wind or otherwise The said appliance being tightened or loosened
by having a hole or holes in the side in which the end of a bar or pin is placed
thus forcing the Appliance or block round as if screwed which forces the said
appliance to press against the iron bar thus pressing the tarpauling against the
side of the hatch thereby preventing it coming loose except by reversing the
Appliance by means of a bar as before stated and whilst tightened keeps the hatch
"waterproof We claim as our Invention the said appliance or block and pin being
an improvement on the present method of securing the hatch tarpauling-We prefer
the said block being made of iron it being cheap and more durable and a tighter
grip can be got on the cross bar to fasten the tarpauling.
:
This Invention can be applied as a Vice, to Engineers, Joiners, and other Benches
and will be found well adapted for these and many other purposes.
And in order that our said Invention may be clearly understood reference is
hereby made to the accompanying drawings in which similar letters of reference
indicate corresponding parts Fig. 1. gives a front view of the improved clutch or
appliance holding the hatch bar in position A gives an outline of bolt head when
fastened to the hatch coamings the dotted lines shew the radius of the worm not
• visible when in position B shews a section of the hatch bar with the improved
appliance pressing against it Fig. 2-gives a side view of the improved clutch in
position A shews head of bolt corresponding with A in fig. 1. C is a side view of
clutch in position pressing against the hatch bar B thus preventing it getting loose
D is a sectional view of one side of the hatch coamings and over which the
tarpauline is brought and pressed to the hatch by the bar B-F is the body of the
rivet or bolt passing through the clutch into the side or end of the hatch.
Fig. 3. gives another view of the improved appliance E shewing the hole in which
the tighting bar is placed when required to fasten it against the hatch bar A is
the head of the bolt resting on a projection on the top of the clutch B is a
sectional view of the hatch bar resting against the hatch. C is the clutch or
appliance in position D is a sectional view of one side of the hatch G is the end
of the bolt passing through the hatch and riveted inside.

page_text: 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
The Combination of the Block & bolt and the application of the same as an
improved Appliance for securing tarpaulino on ships hatches applicable also as
a vice.
