Improvements in Hauling Rope Clips.
I JOSEPH GREEN, 2 Mount Row, Bath Street, Ilkeston, Derbyshire,
Blacksmith, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Each clip consists of a pair of parallel plates slotted at the centre, each having
a projection at the back edge through which a pin is passed, a second pin is passed
through both plates near the front top corner, these pins hold the plate together.
The back top corner of one plate projects and carries an axle pin on which a hook.
rocks, from the front of the lower end of the hook an arm projects which rests upon
the front holding pin.
Above the arm a pin lies projecting from the side plate, a second tapered pin is
driven into holes in the hook and side plate above the axle pin.
When in use the hook is hooked into one end of a draw bar hinged or otherwise
secured to the bottom framing of a waggon or corve.
The lower ends of the parallel plates are grooved on the inside and fitted with
plates which clip the hauling rope, these plates when worn may be removed and
fresh ones substituted.
In the slots of the parallel plates a bolt slides having a Ṭ shaped head at each
end, these heads lie on the sides of the plates causing the inner plates to forcibly
clip the hauling rope when the bolt is driven down by a hammer. Instead of
employing a hammer to drive the bolt home, the bolt may be passed through a
slot in a plate rocking on the back holding pin, the front of the plate projects and
forms a handle to drive the bolt home. The arm of the hook lying between the
upper ends of the parallel plates holds them apart when in use, but upon the
waggon or corve leaving the rails, or through other causes it is stopped, the pressure
upon the armed book causes it to bend up or shear off one or other of the pins in
the side plate and allows the arm to be lifted clear of the side plates, which then
close and release the clip plates from the hauling rope.

Improvements in Hauling Rope Clips.
I JOSEPH GREEN 2 Mount Row Bath Street, Ilkeston Derbyshire Blacksmith
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 :-

page_text: Each clip consists of pair of plates 1 slotted at the centre, each plate has a
projection 2 at the back edge through which a pin 3 is passed, a second pin 4 is
passed through both plates near the front top corner, these pins hold the plates
together. The back top corner of one plate projects upward and backward and
carries an axle pin 5 on which a hook 6 rocks, from the front of the lower end of
the hook an arm 7 projects and rests upon the front holding pin 4. Above the arm
a pin 8 lies projecting from the longest side plate, a second tapered pin 9 is driven
into holes on the same side plate and hook above the axle pin 5.
When in use the hook 6 is hooked into one end of a draw bar hinged or
otherwise secured in the usual way to the bottom framing of a waggon or corve.
The lower ends of the plates 1 are grooved on the inside and fitted with plates 10
rivetted to them which clip the hauling rope, the plates when nearly worn through
may be removed and fresh ones substituted.
In the slots of the plates 1 a bolt 11 slides having a T shaped head at each end,
these heads lie on the sides of the plates 1 causing the inner plates 10 to forcibly
clip the hauling rope 12 when the bolt 11 is driven down by a hammer.
When a hammer is employed to drive the bolt down the projecting portions 2
of the plates 1 and the holding bolt 3 may be dispensed with, the plates 1 then
have parallel sides as shown by the vertical dotted line at Figure 1.
When a hammer is not employed to drive down the bolt it is passed through a
slot in a plate 13 rocking on the back holding pin 3 the front of the plate 13
projects and forms a handle to drive down the bolt.
The arm 7 of the hook lying between the upper ends of the plates 1 holds them
apart when in use, but upon the waggon or corve leaving the rails, or through
other causes it is stopped, the pressure upon the armed hook causes it to bend up
or shear off one or other of the pius 8 and 9 in the side plate and allows the arm
to be lifted clear of the side plates 1 which then close at the top and open out at
the bottom releasing the clip plates 10 from the hauling rope 12.
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 :
The construction and employment of improved clips for hauling ropes
substantially as described and illustrated in the drawings annexed.
Dated this Twenty-second day of January 1895.
