Abstract
An exchangeable anchor assembly, comprising a shank having a free end adapted to be connected to a line, with two parallel plates disposed at an opposite end of the shank sandwiching the shank therebetween. A stock is rotatably disposed between the plates perpendicular to the stem, the cross bar having a non-rounded cross section. Two flukes each have an opening substantially the same as the cross section of the stock and are slidable thereon frm opposite ends thereof. Two stabilizers are disposed nonrotatably on the ends of the stocks and are releasable secured thereto. Cam projections cooperating with the plates limit the rotatable movement of the stock relative to the shank.
Claims9
An exchangeable anchor assembly, comprising
- a stem having a free end adapted to be connected to a line,
- two parallel plates disposed at an opposite end of said stem sandwiching said stem therebetween,
- a cross bar rotatably disposed between said plates perpendicular to said stem, said cross bar having an unround cross section,
- two flukes each having an opening substantially the same as the cross section of said cross bar and slidable thereon from opposite ends thereof,
- two stabilizers each comprising two vane plates angularly disposed relative to each other and a sleeve connected to each of said vane plates and having an opening substantially equal to that of said cross bar and disposed on the ends thereof,
- means for securing said two stabilizers on said cross bar, thereby holding said flukes therebetween, and
- projection cam means operatively mounted on said cross bar and having cam projections cooperating with said plates, permitting relative rotatable movement of said cross bar and for limiting the rotatable movement of said cross bar when said cam projections abut said plates.
