Year: 1853

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Caleb Bloomer, of Golds Hill, West Brom-
wich, in the County of Stafford, Manufacturer, for the Invention
T
AMANITA CHIRE OF ANCHORS."
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION filed by the said Caleb Bloomer at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition and
Declaration, on the 1st October 1858, pursuant to the 9th section
of the Patent Law Amendment Act. 1852.
1, CALEB BLOOMER, of Golds Hill, West Bromwich, in the County
of Stafford, Manufacturer, do hereby declare that the nature of my said
Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF ANCHORS," and
the manner in which the sanie are to be performed, are particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement, reference
being had to the Drawings hereunto annexed, and to the letters and
figures marked thereon, that is to say:

page_text: My Invention consists of improvements in the method of manufac-
turing the horn and palm of a certain description of anchor, for which
Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent, bearing date the Twelfth day of
November, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and
fifty-two. have been already granted unto me.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1, is an elevation of a portion of the arm of an anchor, shew-
ing in section (represented by the dotted lines) the method of bolting or
rivetting together the horn and palm. Figures 2, and 3, represent
modifications of the above, adapted to anchors of different weight and
strength.
means
I will now proceed to describe the way in which I manufacture the
horn and palm shewn in Fig. 1. The horn having been forged to
the proper forin has (as will be seen on reference to the Drawing) a
tongue piece (a) of the form indicated by the dotted lines, and of
precisely the same width as the space between the two. plates. of which
the arm is composed. The palm has a similar tongue piece (b), and by
of the bolts or rivets (c, c.) passing through both these tongue
pieces the parts forming the horn and palm are securely bolted together.
Figure 2, shows a modification of the above, thereby varying the form
of the tongue piece on the horn, and passing one of the bolts through
the face of the palm, the other being secured in the same way as in
Fig. 1. Figure 3, is another modification, in which the tongue piece
is formed entirely on the horn, and nearly follows the outline of the
palm, being secured by bolting it through the face of the palm, as will
be seen on reference to the Drawing.
Having thus described the nature of my said Invention, and the
manner in which the same is to be performed, I wish it to be clearly
understood that I do not confine myself to the precise details herein
specified; but I claim the methods described (or any niere modification
involving the same principle) of manufacturing the horns and palms of
that description of anchor in which the arms are formed of two parts
or plates between which the shank is placed, and for which anchor. as

In witness whereof, I, the said Caleb Bloomer, have hereunto set
