ABSTRACT:
An anchor which includes an anchoring head having slidably mounted relative thereto a frame which, in turn, carries a slip ring for the anchor cable. The anchor head includes a plurality of mud barbs joined by sand plates for firm anchoring in a bottom. The frame is generally triangular in outline and includes a sliding bar which is slidably mounted relative to the anchor head. The slip rings for the anchor cable is slidably mounted on one leg of a reversible bar of the frame, and has connected thereto a cable which has connected to its opposite end a float in such a manner that once the anchor has been positioned and the anchor cable has been slackened, the slip ring will be automatically pulled by the float from a position at the upper part of the frame to a position at the lower rear corner of the frame. A counter-weight is positioned at the lower rear corner of the frame and, if desired, may have a rearwardly extending spade for digging into the bottom. Further, the sliding bar may be provided with an auxiliary spade for digging into the bottom, the auxiliary spade being disposed adjacent the counter-weight.
