PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Pipe Gripper.
I, GEORGE HARRY TURNER of Cherry Gardens, Folkestone, Kent Engineer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This my said invention relates to a new and useful tool for facilitating the holding
of pipes during the process of cutting by pipe cutters or other tool, and has for its
object to prevent the loss of time that is continually taking place, by men holding on
in the usual manner.
This my said invention, consists essentially of a cast-iron (or other suitable
metal) V piece (A) with either stationary or adjustable sides (BB) at the
extremities of which at (CC) are suitable slots, having on the right hand slot a
bolt (D) that secures one end of a chain (E) that passes over the pipe (F) to be
cut and on the left hand slot a suitable hooked bolt (G) hooked on to link of
chain, having on its underside a winged or other nut (H) screwing against a
saddle piece (I) by means of which the pressure is drawn on chain and thereby
forcing into the jagged or smooth V piece the pipe thus preventing it revolving
when the aforesaid pipe cutter or other tool is at work, on the underside of
V piece are suitable projecting pieces (JJ) by means of which wrought iron (or
other suitable metal) legs (KK) are firmly fixed by pins (LL) and standing at
such an angle as to prevent canting during the process of cutting aforesaid.
Dated this 7th day of August 1889.
