W. B. L'AUTZ. ROPE HAULING MACHINE.
No. 512,040. Patented Jan. 2, 1894.
UNITED STATE Fries.
PATENT ROPE-HAULING MACHINE.
A SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.512,040, dated January 2, 1894:.
Application filed August 4, 1893.
To all whom it may concern.-
Beitknown that LWILLIAM B. LAUTZ, a citizen of the United States, residing at Glouces-. ter, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Rope-Hauling Machine, intended to be used for hauling the purse lines or ropes of seines, but may be used for hauling rope for other purposes, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in rope hauling machines and its object is to construct a machine to haul one or more ropes by hand or by other power, and at the same time in a rapid and easy manner and to have a steady continuous strain upon the ropes while they are being hauled; also to provide a machine in which a small sheave is affixed underneath and in front of a drum which latter has upon its face one or more V-shaped grooves into which the sheave fits, there being a sheave for each groove in the face of the drum and said drum being operated bysuitable gearing. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1. represents a side elevation of the devices embodying my invention. Fig. 2' represents a top plan view of the same, and Fig. 3. represents a front elevation of said devices.
A in the drawings, represents the framework of the machine which is preferably made of wood, and has mounted thereon in the journal box 71., the arbor of a drum B which latter has one or more V-shaped grooves b formed in its periphery and around its entire circumference; two grooves only, being preferable in machines for handling purse lines so that both lines may be hauled at the same time, the grooves being a sufficient distance apart so that the lineswill not interfere with each other.
Cogs or teeth B are formed about a portion of the periphery of the drum B, thereby forming a cog wheel that meshes with a gear 0 also mountedin a journal box 0 upon said frame A. The arbors a, a of gear 0 and drum B, respectively, are squared at their ends so that cranks or pulleys may be affixed thereto for actuating the machine. When great power is desired, the crank or pulley is af- Serial No. 482,412. (No model.)
fixed to the arbor of the gear 0 when the machine is to be operated, but for rapidity of movement, the crank is affixed to the arbor of the drum B.
Below and in rear of the drum B is pivotally mounted an arm or lever b and upon a pin d in one end of said arm are mounted a sufficient number of sheaves c to enter and engage the sides of each of the V-shaped grooves in the drum so that the rope may be pressed by said sheaves, firmly into said grooves when the machine is in operation. A coil spring is attached to one end of the arm or lever 19 so as to depress said end and consequently raise the opposite end of the lever and keep the sheaves to their work in the grooves.
In front of the drum and attached to the frame A, is a stationary arm E which is formed with fingers or claws f, f, which correspond in shape with V grooves in the drum, into which grooves they fit snugly so that the rope which is sticking in the groove after leaving the sheaves, will be turned out of said grooves or rather disengaged therefrom. The arm E also has mounted thereon pins f, f, which guide the ropes evenly into said V- grooves and prevent them from becoming entangled with each other.
The sheaves press the ropes so firmly into the V grooves that they would not be disengaged therefrom if it were not for the claws f, f, and said rope would pass completely about the drum and of course become se riously entangled.
The operation of the device is as follows: The ropes to be hauled, whether they be seine, or other ropes, are first passed over the top of the drum B, one rope within each V groove and under its respective sheave; said sheave pressing the rope well up into theapex of the groove where it will stick until it is disengaged by the claws. By this pressing of the ropes up into the V grooves I secure agreat amount of friction between the drum and the said ropes and the latter will not slip in the grooves. 1
What I claim as my invention is 1. In a rope hauling machine, the combina-' tion with a frame, of agrooved drum, devices for operating the same, movable sheaves for pressing the ropes into the said grooves and claws for removing the ropes from the same, substantially as described.
2. In a rope hauling machine, the combination with a frame, of a grooved drum, gearing for operating the same, spring pressed sheaves for pressing the ropes into said grooves and devices for guiding the ropes into said grooves and removing them therefrom, substantially as described.
3. In a rope hauling machine, the combination,with aframe, of adrum having V-shaped grooves therein, sheaves for pressing the ropes into said grooves, claws for removing the ropes therefrom and guiding pins for directing the ropes into said grooves, substantially as described.
4. In a rope hauling machine, the combina tion, with a frame, of a drum having V-shaped grooves, sheaves for pressing the ropes into WILLIAM B. LAUTZ. Witnesses:

Aflidavit. having been filed showing that the name of the patentee in Letters Patent N 0. 512,040, granted January 2, 1894, for an improvement in Rope-Hauling Machines,
should have been written and printed Willidm B. Lcmtz instead of William B. Lautz,
it is hereby certified that the proper correction has been made in the files and records pertaining to the case in the Patent Office, and should be read in the Letters Patent that the same may conform thereto.
Signed, countersigned, and sealed this 16th day of January, A. D. 1894.
