l,37,ee2, Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 3, 1912.
Application filed September 11, 151L- Seriel No. 648,725.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL H. GQNWELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at 612 East Sixth avenue, 'larentum, in the county of Alle 'heny'and State of Pennsyl- Vania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Brackets for Release- Bigging, of which the iollowmg 1s a specifieat1on.
In the operation of release rigging, the operator frequently pulls outward, in the direction. indicated by the arrow, at the same time he rotates the rod of the rigging, thereby moving the rod bodily axially which resuits in jamming the crank on the inner end of the rod between the arms of the brackets commonly employed to support the rod, thereby looking it against further movement, thus preventing the operation of the locking pin, which frequentl results in disaster as "will be appreciated y those skilled in the The object a biaclret o npossible L I "1y .hrention is to construct construction that it will rm the crank or the handle seen the bracket arms; and view, my invention con IS and combination of parts e hereinafter pointed sists of the as will be nice A-iawings, igure 1 is'a top plan end sill release rigging attention applied; Fl :2 is a front 1 oi? the same; Fig. 3 is an enlarged .iew ot a bracket embodying my lie rod and its crank being is a side elevation of being omitted, and Fig. 5

rigging consists of a rod 5 din handle 6 at its outer 'ai'dly extending crank '1" at which. the pin lifting lever ill c ea. lever icing constructed to the eye oil the locking in.
reference-numeral 8 in ieates the base -t t 5 th d 5 he s, -er sus slung e To on .i, from which arms?) extend at esthere belng a concaved seat 10- 7 8 between said arms. The arms The reference numeral 11 indicates a band of a shape in cross section adapting it to fit snugly over the arms 9, as clearly seen in Fig. 3, said band or stop being provided with a bore alined with the openings in the bracket arms. 1
In some forms of brackets now in use, the arms are provided with a strengthening lug l2, and for such brackets, I form a slot 13 in the inner edge ofthe band to clear the lug. Of course, it will be understood that the slot may be omitted when the band is to. be used on arms not having such a lug.
The side walls of the band are each provided with. a concaved bearing seat ,constructed to receive the Ted 5 and form with the conceived seat in the basebetween the arms, a journal bearing inner edge of the band projecting beyond the center of the rod, as best seen in Fig. 4.
A f-i281 the rod is placed between the arms of the bracket, the bands 5 are slipped over the arms and secured 'in position (preferably) by means of acotter pin passes through the holes in the bracket arms and the holes in. the band. The inner edge of the band is positioned slightly beyond the center of the rod 5, so that the band presents for said rod; the l 14: which a flat unbroken wall against which the crank myinvention eliminates the possibility of the rod 5 being jammed between the arms of the bracket as the band bridges the space between the bracket arms. The rodmaybe quickly removed for repairs, etc, by simply withdrawing the cotter pin when the. band is free to be slipped oil the arms. i
What ll claim is 1. In a release rigging, the combination with the operating rod havin a crank at its inner end, of brackets in which said rod is mounted, comprising a base, two arms projecting from saidbase, an around said arms,,the inner edge of said band having 'concaved seats for said rod, said band providing an unbrokensurface to prevent the crank becoming jammed between saidarms.
d a band fitting 2. In arelease rigging, the combination aided with aliicd openings.
with the operating rod having a crankat its mounted, comprising a base,
- 3. In a release rigging,
a concaved seat between said arms, and a band fitting around said arms, the inner edge of said band having concaved seats constituting with the concaved seat between the arms, a bearing for said rod.
In testimony whereof I afix in presence of two witnesses.
SAMUEL H, QONWELL.
