I, FREDERICK DAVID TAYLOR, of Collis Street, Stourbridge, Worcestershire,
Anchor and Cable Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention consists of the hereindescribed improved means for securing the
tripping head to the shank of what is known as a stockless anchor.
By my
invention the construction of the anchor is simplified, the cost of production is
reduced, the anchor strengthened and has a better appearance and finish.
According to one arrangement of carrying out my invention I secure the tripping
head of the anchor to the shank thereof by means of two angle cheeks which partly
pass through a central hole in the head from the underside thereof one on either
side of the shank to which latter the cheeks are jointed by a cross pin passing
through the angle cheeks and through the shank. That part of this pin which fits
in the shank is by preference enlarged so as to strengthen the same and form
shoulders against the sides of the angle cheeks and prevent the said pin moving
end wise. The said cheeks project beyond the bottom of the tripping head and
these projecting parts are bent down and outwardly against the head at about right
angles to the parts of the cheeks through which the cross pin passes so as to take a
proper bearing against the underside of the head to which each cheek is secured by
one or more rivets screws or pins passing through the said outwardly bent parts of
the cheeks and through the head.
In a modification of my said invention the said cheeks are made flat instead of
being made angle section and are held in position in the hole in the head by each
cheek being made with a projection at each side which projections take against the
underside of the head and by a covering plate or bar which is rivetted or otherwise
secured to the bottom of the head outside the ends of the cheeks this covering plate
or bar being also made with a central swell which fits in between the cheeks and
assists in keeping them at the proper distance apart.
In a further modification of my invention the cheeks are made and secured in
place somewhat similarly as last described except that the cheeks have lateral
projections on both sides which serve to prevent the cheeks being drawn through
the hole in the head and also assist in keeping the cheeks at the proper distance
apart.

0 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:-

1 will describe my invention by referring to the accompanying drawings on
which
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of an anchor constructed according to this invention;
Fig. 2 shews part of the same partly in section; Fig. 3. is a sectional plan of the
same; Fig. 4 is a cross section of the same shewing the arms atrip;
Fig. 5 shews one of the angle cheeks of the said anchor separately;
Figs. 7, 8 and 9 illustrate a modification of my invention and Figs. 10. 11 and 12
illustrate a further modification of the same.
.
The same letters of reference indicate the same or corresponding parts in all the
figures of the drawings.
:
According to one arrangement of carrying out my invention as illustrated by
Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 I secure the tripping head A of the anchor to the shank.
thereof B by means of two angle cheeks inarked respectively C¹ C² which pass
through a central hole a' in the head A from the underside thereof one on either
side of the shank B to which latter the cheeks C1 C2 are jointed by the cross pin D
passing through the angle cheeks C'C' and through the shank B. The part d'
of the pin D which fits in the shank B is by preference enlarged as shewn in.
Figs. 2 and 3 so as to strengthen the same and form shoulders against the sides of
the angle cheeks C₁ C' and thus prevent the pin D moving end wise. The
cheeks CC project beyond the bottom of the tripping head A and these projecting
parts c are bent down and outwardly against the head A at about right angles to
the part of the cheeks through which the cross pin D passes so as to take a
proper bearing against the underside of the head A to which each cheek is secured
by one or more rivets such as e or screws or pins passing through the outwardly
bent parts of the cheeks and through the head A.
In a modification of my said invention which is illustrated by Figs. 7, 8 and 9
the cheeks C C are made flat instead of being made angle section and are held in
position in the hole a' in the head A. by each cheek being made with a projection
at each side which projections are respectively marked ee and take against the
underside of the head A. There is a covering plate or bar F outside the ends of
the cheeks C¹ C² fixed to the head A. by rivets or by bolts or pins so as to keep
the cheeks CC2 in place. This plate or bar F is made with a central swell f
which fits in between the cheeks CC2 and assists in keeping them at the proper
distance apart.
In a further modification of my invention shewn by Figs. 10, 11 and 12 the
cheeks CC2 are made and secured in the head A somewhat similarly as last
described with reference to Figs. 7, 8 and 9 except that the cheeks C1 C2 have as
shewn more clearly by Fig. 12 lateral projections ce on both sides which serve to
prevent the cheeks being drawn from the hole a¹ in the head A. and which also
assist in keeping the cheeks C' C2 at the proper distance apart.
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 :-
1. Securing the tripping head of an anchor to the shank thereof by means of the
two angle cheeks C₁ C2 jointed to the lower end of the shank and passing through a
hole in the head from the underside of the same and bent down and outwardly
against the underside of the head and there secured by rivets screws or pins passing
through the said outwardly bent parts of the cheeks and through the head
substantially as hereindescribed and illustrated by Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the
accompanying drawings.
.
2. In a stockless anchor and in combination with the shank and tripping head
thereof the cheeks C' C² inserted in a hole in the head from the underside thereof
and made with projections c³ which bear against the underside of the head, the
4.

page_text: joint pin D jointing the shank to the cheeks C₁ C' and the covering plate or bar F
fixed to the underside of the head and securing the cheeks C¹ C² in place, all
substantially as hereindescribed and illustrated by Figs. 7 and 8 of the accompanying
.lrawings.
3. In a stockless anchor and in combination with the shank and tripping head
thereof the cheeks C¹ C inserted in a bole in the head from the underside thereof
and made with projections c c which bear against the underside of the head and.
also keep the cheeks C¹ C2 apart, the joint pin D jointing the shank to the
cheeks C¹³, and the covering plate or bar F fixed to the underside of the head.
and securing the cheeks C' C in place, all substantially as hereindescribed and
illustrated by Figs. 10, 11 and 12 of the accompanying drawings.
