, IMPRQVEMENT 1N SAIL-BANKS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent end making part of the name.

Beit known that we,W1LL1AMMcKAY nndCHARLES E. BAYLEY, of Newburyport, in the county of Essex,

, and VState of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sail-Hanks; and do hereby deolare the same to befully described in the following specification, and represented in the accompanying l drawings, of which-'- t Figure 1 denotes aside elevation,

Figure2, an edge view, i Figure, e top view, and

1* I gure 4, a longitudinal seotlon of our improved sanll henk, asclosed.

Figure 5`is a. representation of it as opened. In this henk, the frame, or body, which supports the friction-roller A, is mode in twohztlves, or portions`,B

B',`hinged together ot their lower extremities, as shown (tti). Y l

Each portion, at its upper part, is formed with n.

hook, D, or D', so'thet one hook may lap on the other,

andthe two form the holding-eyeof the henk, when f the two portions, B B', tre closed together.

The friction-roller Aislerrenged between the parts p B B',a.nd is there supported by means of a. screw-bolt, E, which goes through it and. one of the portions, B B',

and screwing into the other, the bolt, at the same time,

serving to confine them together.

The said bolt is provided with a. head, u., which, I

when the bolt is set hard up, serves, with the screw b of the bolt, to keepY the bolt in place, and the parts B B closed.

The hooks D D go into the grummet-hole of the jib, and the stoygoes through the henk, in the space between the roller lend Such hooks. Y

We do not claim constructing the body of the sailhenk in two parts, hinged together, such being represented in the United States patentNo. 16,169, granted to Henry M. Bonney, on December 9, A. D. 1856.

`What we claim as our invention, is-

lhe improved sail-henk, constructed as represented and described, viz, with. the two parts, B B', of its frame hinged together at one extremity of each, and provided with iep-hooks D D' et their opposite ends,

and also havin g the connection-screw bolt of such parts B B arranged and applied to them, so es not only to hold them together, but serve, alt the same time, as a pivot, or journal, to support the friction-roller of the henk, as set forth.
