TROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Anchors.
J EDWARD FINCH residing at 20 Northcote Avenue, Sunderland, in the County
of Durham, Forge Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
My invention consists of certain improvements in anchors, whereby they are
rendered simple to manufacture, and certain in action.
The head, arms and pivot pin or gudgeon, is made in one piece, and may be of
forged iron, forged or cast steel, the shank and other fittings being made of forged
steel or iron.
On the shank I make projections on the sides, these said projections are for the
purpose of stopping the arms at the required angle, and they stop against the face;
of the anchor head when the necessary or maximum angle is reached.
The end of the shank that engages the pivot pin or gudgeon in the head of the
anchor, I make fork shaped, and the shank is held in place by a block, which I
insert between the jaws at the extreme end of the fork, this block having a radius
at one end to suit that required by the pivot pin or gudgeon in anchor head, this
said block is held in position by one or more pius, bolts or rivets passing through
the fork and block.
Dated this 8th day of February 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
· Improvements in Anchors.
I EDWARD FINCH residing at 20 Northcote Avenue, Sunderland, Forge
Manager, 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:-
My invention consists of certain improvements in anchors whereby they are
rendered simple to manufacture and certain in action. The head, arms and pivot
pin or gudgeon is made in one piece, and may be of forged iron, forged or cast steel,
the shank and other fittings being made of forged steel or iron. On the shank I make
projections on the sides, these said projections are for the purpose of stopping the
arms at the required angle, and they stop against the face of the anchor head when
the necessary or maximum angle is reached. The end of the shank that engages
the pivot pin or gudgeon in the head of the anchor I make fork shaped, and the
shank is held in place by a block which I insert between the jaws at the extreme
end of the fork, this block having a radius at oue end to suit that required by the
pivot pin or gudgeon in anchor head, this said block is held in position by one or
more pins, bolts or rivets passing through the fork and block.
may dispense with
the aforesaid block and simply close the outer euds of fork after being placed in
position on the head, and bolt or rivet outer ends of fork together, or I may form,
in one with the shank, a long thin piece and bend it over the pivot pin or gudgeon
so as to form a strap, and fix with bolts or rivets through end of strap and body of
shank.
In order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained,

page_text: reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings in which letters of reference
indicate corresponding parts:-
In the said drawings Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 are intended to illustrate the method of
stop and the methods of connecting the head to the shank.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2 & 3, Fig. is a plan view, Fig. 2 is a side elevation, and
Fig. 3 is an end elevation looking on the back of tripping head, a is the tripping
head with arms and pivot pin or gudgeon combined, is the shank, c are the
projections on each side of the shank for the purpose of stopping the head at the
required or maximum angle d is the fork end of shank that engages the pivot pin
or gudgeon, e is the block in end of fork, and the rivet or bolt for keeping it in
position.
In Figs. 4 & 5 is shewn the other methods of forming the end of shank that joins
-the-head. In place of the block as hereinbefore described I may close the outer
end of fork as shewn in Fig. 4, or I may form a strap by forging a long thin end
on the end of shank and bend it over the pivot pin or gudgeon in the head and
connect to body of shank as shewn in Fig. 5.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is-
1st. Projections on the sides of shank for the purpose herein described.
2nd. The methods of connecting the shank to the head as herein described.
