USPC 114/294 is a category for patents for Anchors. There is a large tree of subclasses of anchors, below.[1]
Relevant category tree:
- USPC 114/294 ANCHOR: (parent: class 114) Device wherein means are provided (a) for engaging the sea bed, which means is adapted to be carried by a flexible line secured to a vessel and which means acts through the line to hold the vessel fast to the sea bed, or (b) which when deployed, coact with the water to produce a drag on the vessel to which it is attached to impede the motion of the vessel through water. See class 37, Excavating, subclasses 345 through 346 for projecting piles for anchoring dredges. 43, Fishing, Trapping, and Vermin Destroying, subclass 42.72 for fishing line shock absorbers, and subclass 44.96 for fishing line sinkers with ground engaging means. 52, Static Structures (e.g., Buildings), subclasses 155 through 165 for expanding or piercing earth anchors.
- USPC 114/295 Anchor with means to drive it into the sea bed: Device wherein the means engaging the sea bed has power driven means for thrusting the engaging means into the sea bed. Explosively driven anchors will be found herein. See USPC 52/158 for a driven earth anchor for buildings or other structures.
- USPC 114/296 Suction type: This subclass is indented under subclass 294. Device wherein the engaging means is so configured that a zone of reduced pressure is formed between the sea bed and the engaging means either (a) when an attempt is made to extract the engaging means from the sea bed, or (b) by additional means provided for the purpose of evacuating fluid from the zone, whereby an imbalance of forces is created tending to hold the engaging means in contact with the sea bed. See class USPC 269, Work Holders, subclass 21 for vacuum-type holding means. 294, Handling: Hand and Hoist-Line Implements, subclasses 183 through 65 for vacuum cup elements, per se, as well as other vacuum-operated load engagers.
- USPC 114/297 Anchor with means of dislodgement: Device which has elements to facilitate disengagement after anchoring, e.g. to the sea bed.
- USPC 114/298 Collapsible fluke (for disengagement): Device wherein the engaging means includes a longitudinally extending shank carrying a blade-like member, and releasable means is provided which either holds the blade-like member in fixed position or restrains it to swing through a limited arc relative to the shank when in use, but which allows it to swing free when dislodgement of the engaging means is desired.
- USPC 114/299 By movable line connection (to disengage). Device in which a flexible line is attached to the engaging means at a first location when in use, and wherein means are provided to enable the point of attachment to be shifted to a second location when dislodgement of the engaging means is desired.
- USPC 114/300 Dished or mushroom type anchor: Device wherein the engaging means is provided with a bowl-shaped member which contacts and digs into the sea bed. The bowl-shaped member may have protruding projections.
- USPC 114/301 Fluke type: Device wherein the engaging means has a blade-like member designed to dig into the sea bed.
- USPC 114/302 Fluke-type, having stowable stock: Device wherein the engaging means includes a longitudinally extending shank and a rod-like member which, when in use is arranged to be perpendicular thereto, which rod-like member is movable to a nonuse storage position.
- USPC 114/303 Fluke-type, having assembly or disassembly feature or replaceable or adjustable abutment: Device wherein the engaging means is provided with either, (a) means which facilitates the putting together or the taking apart of the various elements of the engaging means, or (b) stop means for limiting the swing of the fluke when the latter is pivotally carried by a shank, wherein the stop means is selectively movable to any one of a plurality of different positions to alter the fluke’s swing, or means are provided for substituting a new stop means for a worn or different size stop. See USPC 114/298, for a replaceable abutment adapted to be sheared off at a predetermined force to permit the fluke to swing free for dislodgement from an obstruction.
- USPC 114/304 Pivoted fluke: This subclass is indented under subclass 301. Device wherein the engaging means is provided with a longitudinally extending shank to which the blade-like member is swingable attached. See class USPC 52/162 through USPC 52/164 for pivoted fluke-type earth anchors.
- USPC 114/305 Extensible pivoted fluke: Device wherein either (1) the blade-like member is held in a collapsed position when the anchor is stowed and a means is provided for releasing or moving the blade-like member such that it may assume its operative position, or (2) releaseable means are provided on the engaging means to lock the blade-like member in an extended operative position. See USPC 114/295 for anchors having means for driving the same into the sea bed, and which may include extensible flukes that are swung into an operative position subsequent to the anchor being driven into the seabed. See USPC 52/155 through USPC 52/165 for expanding earth anchors.
