ABSTRACT:
An improved anchor assembly of the Danforth type. The crown is formed from a single piece of rectangular tubing by a pressing operation to form a crown having two parallel inwardly disposed sidewalls and, at generally right angles thereto, two sidewalls which extend towards each other in a forward direction. Right-hand and left-hand flukes are each formed from a single piece of metal plate material and have a triangular plate portion and flange portion which extends to either side of the plate portion at right angles thereto. Extensions of the flange are welded to the parallel sidewalls of the crown box. The rear end of a shank, which is formed from square bar stock, is disposed within the crown box with an aperture in the shank being in alignment with corresponding apertures in the flange extensions of the flukes and the parallel sidewalls of the crown box. A stock is inserted through the apertures so that the shank can pivot about an intermediate portion of the stock. The rear edge of the flukes are welded to the stock material inwardly of the ends of the stock. The foregoing construction utilizes significantly fewer parts than prior art Danforth type anchors, is easier to assemble than such prior art designs, and is correspondingly less costly to manufacture.
