A non-fouling fluked anchor having a yoke-like shank in which the yoke arms are arcuate and pivotally attached to a pointed, center mounted fluke such that the arcuate arms of the shank provide for variable positioning of the fluke point to insure initial penetration of the fluke point in sea floor bottoms having different degrees of hardness. The fluke tip, the yoke frame, and the anchor line tether establish a three point contact with the sea bottom. The arcuate yoke shank arms allow a variable initial penetration angle of the fluke from 15 degrees to approximately 67 degrees. As a relatively harder sea bottom is encountered the anchor, due to the action of the arcuate yoke will pivot to provide a steeper fluke angle to insure penetration. Once the fluke has penetrated the bottom the anchor will then assume the secured position at the conventional holding angle.

Non-fouling anchor

A string tensioning device for use on stringed musical instruments such as violins, guitars, and cellos. More particularly, a device capable of adjusting the tension on the strings of musical instruments at two different ratios while the device is in place on the musical instrument. Said device having as one of its components a worm screw, said screw being easily interchangeable with another similar screw with different spacings of the threads on the screw so as to give the user any desired tension adjusting ration.
