Chester Folding Anchor. 



The Most Simple, Complete and Compact 

 Anchor for Small Craft ever invented. 



Experiments have shown 

 that It is much superior in 

 (holding power to the ordi- 

 ,'t^ary Anchor of the same 

 weight, but its great advan- 

 tage consists in its compact- 

 ness and the small space it 

 occupies when not in use, 

 as it takes up less tban one- 

 fourth of the space of an 

 ordinary Anchor of the same 

 weight. It has only to be 

 seen to be appreciated. 

 It is invaluable for small 

 craft where eco- 

 ^nomy of space 

 is a desideratum 

 being especially 

 adapted to the 

 wants of Canoes, 

 Rowboats. Sail- 

 boats, Yachts, 

 Steam Launches 

 etc. 



The Anchor has a straight, stockless shank, to the 

 lower end of which are attached the four arms or 

 flukes; these arms have a flat inner surface extend- 

 ing nearly to the point giving the maximum hold- 

 ing power. On the shank is a ring which slides 

 down over the points of/the arms, to hold them m 

 position when folded, where it is retained by a pin. 



When it is desired to unfold the anchor, the pin is 

 removed, the ring is raised to clear the arms, and the 

 latter unfold and .spread apart, dropping to the 

 position indicated in Fig. 1, the ring slides down 

 the shank until it brings up against the unfolded 

 arms, and at a point in the shank just above the top 

 of the ring when in this position is a second hole, 

 in which the locking pin is inserted, so as to hold 

 the ring down upon the arms, which are thus held 

 securely open. 



Orders and communications regarding it should 

 be addressed to 



H. C. CHESTER, Woods HoU, Mass. 



Or for sale at HENRY C. "SQUIRES, 178 Broad- 

 way, New York, or L. W. FERDINAND, S67 Federal
