Improvements in Anchors.
HENRY HUTCHINSON, of 56, Albert Road, Longsight, Manchester, Mechanical
Draughtsman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to those stockless anchors in which the tripping
head and arms are made in one piece, and the shank fits into a cavity in the
head and is there secured by a pivot pin placed well within the head so that the
preponderance of weight is in front of the axis of the pivot pin, therefore mak-
ing it trip easily. Anchors of the foregoing class require a large area of holding
surface and an arrangement to prevent them from rolling, therefore I construct
the head as hereinafter described. My invention consists of wings which are
cast on the head to give greater holding power and stability. In order that my
invention may be more fully understood and carried into practice I will now
proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings in
which similar letters are used to indicate corresponding parts throughout.

head, on it are
the arms b, C is the shank, d is the pivot pin.
On the head I place wings e, which may be made is shewn in Figs. 1, 2, 3
& 4 or any other convenient form, these wings are for the purpose of giving
greater area, therefore giving greater holding power and virtually constitute
another set of arms which follow up and fill the cavities made by the arms b,
they also serve the purpose of widening the head, thus giving greater stability,
which will prevent the anchor from rolling. I may also if desirable place
similar wings on the inside of the arms.
