MENTS IN HAULAGE CLIPS " to be as follows:-
:-
In a clip used in the haulage of pit tubs, corves, wagons &c. by means of a
rope, the method of fastening the short or loose side to the side whose upper
extremity is formed into a hook to be as described below.
The short or loose side to have a rim or projection situated at the top and
having the back (or that side nearest the side with the hook) rounded.
The other side to have a raised part or projection and also a stud situated
below the projection.
The loose side to be placed on the stud under the projection on the side with
the hook, allowing the loose side to open sufficiently when the hoop is up to
allow the rope to pass freely in and out of that part of the clip designed for
that purpose, and when the hoop is down fastening the clip securely on the
rope.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Haulage Clips.
I, WILLIAM JOHNSON, Blacksmith, Hill Terrace, Cromford Road, Langley Mill,
in the County of Derby, 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 :-
In a clip, used in the haulage of pit tubs, corves, wagons &c. by means of a
rope, the method of fastening the short or loose side, to the side whose upper
extremity is formed into a hook, to be as described below:-
The short or loose side to have a rim or projection, situated at the top and
marked "A on Drawing.
The back of the loose side to be set off at an angle at the top, as shewn at "B,"
for the purpose of allowing the loose side to open sufficiently to take the rope.
The other side, or the side whose upper extremity is formed into a hook, to have
a raised part or projection as shewn at "C."
The loose side to be placed on the side with the hook under the projection "C"
and the hoop placed in its proper position.
An elongated hole to be made in the loose side, and also one, but of slightly
smaller dimensions in the side with the hook, countersunk at the back or outside
of the side with the hook.
An elongated stud, shouldered down to fit the hole in the side with the hook,
to be placed through the loose side and rivetted over flush with the outside of the
side with the hook as marked "D" on Drawing.
The loose side, being thus attached or secured to the side with the hook, to form a
complete haulage clip having the bottom of each side hollowed out in the usual
manner, for the rope, opening sufficiently when the hoop is up to allow the rope to
pass freely in or out, but when the hoop is down, fastening the clip securely on
the rope.

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
:
1. The rim or projection on the loose side of the clip marked "A" on Drawing.
2. The back of the loose side set off at an angle at the top as shown at "B."
3. The raised part or projection "C" on the side with the book.
