Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 30, 1909.
Application filed January 27, 1908. Serial N o. 412,734.
To att lwhom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, ERNEST G. HODGKINS, l a citizen of the United States, and resident l of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented new j and useful Improvements in Oar-Racks.
My invention relates to that class of oar racks in which, when the oars and rowlocks i are placed in the rack, the locking of the rack will effectually fasten both the oars and the rowlocks so as to prevent their removal.
My objects have been to provide an oar rack adapted to be fastened to the wall of a boat house, the side or cabin of a boat or l r i l 1 l structed that when the rack is locked it will be practically impossible to remove it from the support to which it is fastened and when the rowlocks are placed in that part of the rack provided for their reception and the oars placed in proper position in the rack, one or more of the oars will rest upon the rowlocks, and the fastening of the lockbar will retain both the oars and rowlocks in such position that it will be possible to remove the rowlocks only after the oars have been removed and to remove the oars only after the lock-bar has been raised. l. accomplish these objects by the means hereinafter specified and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which,
Figure 1 is an elevation, the dotted lines showing the position of the lock-bar when partially open. Fig. 2 is a plan view. Fig. 3 is a view in perspective showing the rack with the oars and rowlocks in position and a padlock fastening the l0ck-bar in closed position. Fig. 4 is a view on a reduced scale of the lock-bar looking upward from the under side. Fig. 5 is a modied form of construction which is adapted to hold swivel rowlocks; the preferred form illustrated in the other figures being adapted to hold socket rowlocks.
My device is preferably constructed of metal, such as brass or galvanized iron.
1 is an L shaped plate or base in one arni j of which are sockets or holes 2, 2 piercing plate 1, each hole being of suiicient size to receive the shank of a socket rowlock. The hole 3, also piercing plate 1, is adapted to receive a screw, bolt or other means for one of the fastenings to secure the plate to a support. On the other arm of plate 1 and substantially at right angles to the surface thereof, is the inverted yoke 5 which may be supported by frame 7, 7 g plate 1, yoke 5 and frame 7 being preferably cast integral. l preferably construct one end of frame 7 so that it is somewhat enlarged as at 8 so as to form one part of a hinged joint. The yoke 5 has two or more U shaped recesses 9, 9 but it is obvious that the number of these recesses may be increased or decreased in order to have the rack accommodate as many oars as may be desired; also that the number of sockets 2, 2 provided for rowlocks may likewise be varied without affecting the principle of my invention. Bet-Ween the recesses 9, 9 and preferably cast integral with inverted yoke 5, is a tongue 10 pierced by a hole 11 adapted to receive the tongue of a padlock.
12 is a lock-bar which is preferably yoke shaped and may be provided with aseries of recesses 13, 13 which correspond to the several recesses 9, 9 in yoke 5 so that when the lock-bar 12 is in closed position, the recesses 9, 9 and 13, 13 will form sockets which are substantially circular in form. Between the bows of lock-bar 12 and preferably cast integral therewith, is a plate 15 which is perforated by a hole 16, corresponding when the lock-bar is in closed position, to hole 11 in tongue 10. Lock-bar 12 is also provided with a slot 17 which permits said bar to close onto frame 7, the tongue 10 passing upwardly through said slot until holes 11 and 16 are opposite each other. One end of bar 12 is so constructed as to form the other member of a hinged joint the two members being held in position by pin 1S when the parts are assembled. lt is obvious, however that any of several well known means may be adopted to form such a oint, By having the lock-bar hinged at one end the bar may be readily raised to allow the oars to be inserted in or removed from their sockets.
The central post 7a which in part serves to support and strengthen yoke 5 is somewhat offset from the center of the arm of plate 1 and is nearer the front or edge of said arm which is toward the other arm of said plate. Extending throughout the entire length of said post and j aiercing both plate l and yoke 5 is hole 20 andth'rougli this may be inserted a screw, bolt, or other means as an additional fastening to secure therack to a support. Hole 2O being forward of tongue 10, and slot 1T, through which tongue l() passes, being toward the rear part of yoke l2, the broad portion 21 of yoke 12 will, when yoke l2 is closed, cover hole 2O and the fastening inserted therein. By this construction it is practically impossible to remove the fastening inserted in hole 20 when lock-bar 12 is locked in closed position.
23, 23 represent socket rowlocks inserted in sockets 2, 2. The' rowlocks having been placed in position, one of the oars 24, 24 when placed in the rack will rest in one of the recesses 9 and between the horns of said rowlocks while the other oar will rest in the other corresponding recess 9. By closing and locking bar 12 both the oars and rowlocks `will be securely held in position and neither can be removed without unlocking` and raising bar 12.
It is of course obvious that my device may be used for securing oars or canoe paddles Without-the rowlocks. In my modified form Fig. 5 the bosses 25, 25 are substituted for sockets 2, 2 in order to provide means for holding rowlocks of the swivel type where the rowlock sets down upon and turns on a pin which is inserted in the socket in the body of the rowlock.

d. ln an oar rack the combination of an L shaped plate, a yoke at substantially right angles to the surface thereof and attached to one arm of said plate, said yoke having a plurality' of U shaped recesses, a movable bar for closing said recesses and adapted to be locked in closed position and a plurality of sockets in the other arm of said L shaped plate, said sockets being adapted to receive rowlocks and being so located that when said rowlocks are inserted in said sockets said rowlocks will be in alinement with one ofthe recesses of said'yoke.
5. ein oar rack comprising an L shaped plate one of the arms of said plate having a yoke with a plurality of recesses adapted to receive oars the other arm having a plurality of sockets adapted to receive rowlocks, said recesses and sockets being so arranged that when the rowlocks are in said sockets and an oar is placed in the recess adjacent thereto said oar will lie in said recess and said rowlocks, and a movable bar for closing said recesses and adapted to be locked in closed position.
