COMBINED MOORING BIT Application filed. June 18,
This invention relates to improvement in combined mooring-bits and navigation lights, particularly lights for class 1 and class 2 boats, and especially to lights having housings which form mooring-bits, the object being to provide a navigation light, the housing of which provides a mooringbit with a cross-pin and with a chock so located that when a rope is attached, the
pressure of the rope will be directed away from the lenses, and a further object of the invention is to provide such a navigation light housing with a socket for a flag-pole, and the invention consists in the construction as hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a face view of a navigation ligl'it constructed in accordance with our invention;
Fig. 2 is a side view of the same;
Fig. 3 is a top view of the same; and
Fig. 4 is a. vertical central sectional view of the same.
In carrying out our invention, the navigation-light housing 5 is cast integral with a base 6, by which it may be secured at the bow of a boat. In the front of the housing is a lamp-chamber 7 in which an electric so lamp 8 is mounted, being suitably connect-ed with an electric-light circuit. In forming this chamber, the front wall is not entirely cut away, but a supporting brace 9 is left. In thehousing, at the center, below the brace 9, is a chock .10. Extending transversely through the housing is an opening 11 for the reception of a cross-pin 12, the ends of which extend beyond the opposite sides of the housing, and in the top of the housing is a socket 13 for the reception of a fiagstafi. Mounted to close the chamber 7 are lenses 14 and 15.
In lights for class 1 boats, one of the lenses will be red and the other green, or for class 2 boats, both lenses will be white, and it is to be noted that 180 of lens-surface is exposed, as the lenses extend beyond a vertical central line at the sides of the housing.
AND NAVIGATION LIGHT.
1927. Serial No. 199,696.
The housing not only provides a navigation light, but provides a mooring-bit, and a rope passing over one end of the pin 12 is passed down under the chock 10 and thence around the other end of the pin. In this way, the pressure of the rope upon the lenses is avoided and, consequently, the danger of breakage is reduced.
These housings are readily formed from castings and can, therefore, be produced at very low cost for manufacture.
We claim 1. A mooring-bit having a glazed opening and provided with a transverse mooring pin located above the said opening and projecting at both its ends from the bit and also provided. at a, point below the said opening with chock, the said pin and chock being so positioned with respect to the said glazed opening that a mooring-line applied to the ends of the pin and to the chock is prevented from obscuring the said opening.
2. A mooring-bit having a glazed circum ferential opening, a transverse mooring-pin located above the said opening, substantially in line with the ends thereof and projecting at each end from the bit, and a choc-k located below the center of the opening and projecting from the bit, whereby a mooring-line applied to the ends of the pin and to the chock is prevented from obscuring the said glazed opening.
3. A mooring-bit having a circumferential glazed opening, a transverse mooring-pin located. above the said opening substantially in line with the ends thereof and projecting at each end from the bit, a chock located below the center of the said opening, and a vertical flagstaif socket formed in the top of the bit to the rear of the said pin,.whereby a mooring-line applied to the ends of the pin and to the chock is prevented from obscuring the said glazed opening.
In testimony whereof, we have signed this s gnification.
