Improvements in Endless Block Tackle for Raising, Lowering, and
Hauling Heavy Weights, Driving Cycles, Machinery, and for all
other like Mechanical purposes.
We, Joux SMITH, of 40. Clifton Road, Canning Town, in the County of Essex,
Blacksmith, and GEORGE SCRUTON, of 12, Barchester Street, Poplar, in the County
of Middlesex, Moulder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:
Our invention relates to improvements in endless block tackle for raising
lowering and hauling heavy weights, driving cycles, machinery, and for all
other like mechanical purposes.
For this purpose we provide a double wheel with a half round groove round
the centre of the edge. The wheels are in a frame on a centre spindle, with a
swivel hook in the frame. The double wheels have half round bullet holes in
the rims at equal distances apart, in the groove we lay in a flexible endless wire
rope with round balls fastened on same, this said endless (or otherwise) wire rope
may be used for any other and every mechanical purposes, such as for driving
machinery, cycles and the like over suitable pulleys or drums. Each ball is the
same distance apart on the rope as the bullet holes on the wheels, we also provide
a third wheel with frame and swivel hook round which the wire rope passes, the
hooks to be attached to a fixed point and any weight which may be hauled up in
midair and left hanging without running down unless lowered by hand.
Guides and guards may be placed around the block wheels to prevent the endless
tackle from jumping off the wheels.
The flexible wire rope is made of steel, iron, copper, brass or of any other
metallic substance. The balls are fixed to the wire rope with one or more steel.
spikes being driven through the strands of the rope, or knots may be tied in the
rope, or small couplings may be screwed on to the rope or in any other suitable
construction, the rope for each ball is placed in two halves of chilled bullet
moulds with a half groove down the centre of each half which is secured together
and the metal run into each of the moulds casting a ball on each of the steel
spikes, knots or couplings above described, thus making the wire rope through
the centre of each ball.
The pulleys or drums over which the endless rope or any length of rope may
pass over or around are constructed with half round sunk holes a certain distance
apart in order to correspond with the balls attached to the rope so that each half
of the ball on the rope in its travel embed itself into the half round sunk hole
in any pulley or drum.
It will be understood that we do not limit ourselves to any size rope, balls,
pulleys, drums or the like for the purpose above described.

Hauling Heavy Weights, Driving Cycles, Machinery, and for all

We, JOHN SMITH, of 40 Clifton Road, Canning Town, in the County of Essex,
Blacksmith, and GEORGE SCRUTON, of 12, Barchester Street, Poplar, in the County
of Middlesex, Moulder, 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 :-
Our invention relates to improvements in endless block tackle for raising
lowering and hauling heavy weights, driving cycles, machinery, and for all
other like mechanical purposes.
And in order that our invention may be thoroughly understood, we now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters
and figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a view of a spike fitted to the wire rope with the ball cast around it.
Fig. 2, is a ring rivetted to the wire rope and the ball cast thereon.
Fig. 3, is a double or cross spikes.
Fig. 4, is an endless wire rope attached to double spur grooved wheels to drive
a cycle or for any mechanical driving.
Fig. 5, is an elevation of the endless block and tackle for raising, lowering and
hauling heavy weights.
Fig. 6, is a section on line A B.
Fig. 7, is a section of the sheave or wheel a.
For this purpose we provide a double wheel a (or two sheave) with a half round
groove round the centre of the edge. The wheels a (or sheaves) are in a frame b
on a centre spindle c, with a swivel hook d in the frame. The double wheels or
sheaves have half round bullet holes a in the rims at equal distances apart; in
the groove we lay in a flexible endless wire rope e with round balls f fastened
on same, this said endless (or otherwise) wire rope may be used for any other
and every mechanical purposes, such as for driving machinery, cycles as in Fig. 4,
and the like over suitable pulleys or drums. Each ball f is the same distance apart
on the rope e as the bullet holes on the wheels, we also provide a third wheel with
frame and swivel hook round which the wire rope passes, the hooks to be attached
to a fixed point and any weight which may be hauled up in mid air and left
hanging without running down unless lowered by hand. Guides and guards may
be placed around the block wheels to prevent the endless tackle from jumping off
the wheels or sheaves.
The flexible wire rope e is made of steel, iron, copper, brass or of any other
metallic substance. The balls f are fixed to the wire rope with one or more steel
spikes being driven through the stands of the rope, or knots may be tied in the
rope, or small couplings / may be screwed on to the rope or in any other suitable
construction. The rope for each ball is placed in two halves of chilled bullet
moulds with a half groove down the centre of each half which is secured together
and the metal run into each of the moulds casting a ball on each of the steel
spikes, knots or couplings as above described, thus making the wire rope through
the centre of each ball.
The pulleys or drums over which the endless rope or any length of rope may
pass over or around are constructed with half round sunk holes a certain distance
apart in order to correspond with the balls attached to the rope so that each

page_text: half of the ball on the rope in its travel embed itself into the half round sunk hole
in any pulley or drum.
The pulleys are grooved with double spurs with semicircular spaces kin
which the balls fit in as the endless rope travels around the pulleys.
It will be understood that we do not limit ourselves to any size rope, balls,
pulleys, drums or the like for the purpose above described.
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:-
1. An endless block tackle for raising lowering and hauling heavy weights,
substantially as fully described in the above specification and illustrated in the
accompanying drawing.
2. An endless wire rope with balls fixed to the rope to engage with pulleys
with half sunk holes or double spur grooved wheels, substantially as herein
described and according to the accompanying drawing.
3. An endless wire rope with a number of balls fixed thereon, substantially as
described in the above specification.
