Application fled June 3,
The present invention is concernedwith the rovision of improvements in ships, par-l tlcu arly with the provision of a ship whichmay be readily located `for salvage' purposes` s if it sinks, and which is provided with means .for readily guiding the lifting lines from floating cranes or the like into roper engagement with the submerged vesse wheny movement of the cabins as the s ip rolls,
itls desired to raise the ship. 10.#- The ship-is also provided with life saving devices in the lnature of buoyantA cabins adapted to remain on the surface of the water ortofloat tothe surface of the water carryingthe passengers when the ship smks.
l shi which will not only result 'in-t e saving. of ives, but which carries buoys .which will facilitate the location of it when sunk, and which will render the salvaging thereofextremely simple.
Other ob'ects of the invention are toprol' vide a ship which will be of substantially conventional appearance, and which the various life-saving and salvage-expediting apparatus may be embodied without mateL v'ihally increasing the cost of building the ith the above fnoted and other objects in fview, lthe invention consists in certain novel features ofV constructionand combinations and arrangements of arts, as willbe more full hereinafter set.V orth and pointed out in t e claims. The invention may be 'more -fully understood from the following descrip- 3.., tion in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein-f Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view showing a ship embodying the present invention resting on the bottom with the buoye'd cabins on the surface of the water, the
signal uoys afloat and in use to guide the `lines of'loating cranes into engagement withl the ship, so that the latter may be lifted. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the ship.
Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view through one of the buoy and cable chambers taken on the' line 3 3 ofvFig.V 2.
Fig. 4 isja. transverse sectionalV view jon the line 4-44 of Fig. A3. s' Fig. 5'is a sectional detail on the line 5-5of'Fig.2. f V- Fig. 6 is a sectional view through'one of the buoyant cabinsxtaken on the` ine 6+6 -of Fig. 2. 56
Objects of the invention are to rovide a` It is to Je understood at. the 'outset that' 1127. Serial No. 196,312.
the showing ofthe present inventionis for the` most part dia ammatic, and that'man'y structural details ave been omitted for the sake of clearness'. IA have used the reference numeral l0. todesignate a ship, the u per deck. 11 of which is provided with sil s or frames 1 2 'in which passenger. cabins 13 aremounted, the sills 12y preventin sliding yetl permitting immediate dislodging of theV cabinif the ship sinksso that the cabins maIy float to `the surface of the water.l l Yt is to be understood that the cabins which may be provided with doorstll and portholes 1'5 are capable of being substantially hermetically sealed, so thatthere will beano danger of the water-rushing in them in case of an accident which results in sub-A merging the ship. Instead, when the ship sinks fromI the surface ofthe water to the position shown in Fig. .1, the cabins will remain on the surface and the portholes may *be opened or other supplemental means pro- Y vvided for supplying. air to the floating cabins. .l sg. In most/accidents there is ample time for the passen ers to-gather, for instance in the lfloating ca ins, and remain sufficiently on top' of he water when the vessel submerges. Another feature of the invention is the rovision of an 'desired numberof floating' ollow signal uoys. 16 which rise to the surface o the water afterthe ship is submerged and anark' the spotwhere the ship rests, so that salvaging vessels may readilylocate the sunken vessel. Means is also associated 'with the signal Jbuoys for guiding lifting. lines from a salvaging vessel such for instance as a oatin crane into proper engagement qwith thes en ship for raising -the same. A As indicated in vFig. 1 chambers 17 are provided having open tops which lie approximately flush with the main deck 18 of the ship. Fitted into these chambers are the buoys 16, the buoys being approximately hemispherical in shape and including flanged covers 19 which lie Bush with the deck of the ship and which are apertured for the reception of centering pins 20 in the decklll so that therewill be no danger of the buoys rotating in the chambers 17 `or rolling aboutl therein due to the motion of the ship.
' Each of the buoys 16 is anchored to one end of a length of line 25,. the other end-of 11 which is anchored to a chain cable 21. The
. cable 21 may consist of four connected sections, these sections enter-ing the chamber 17 through suitable openings in a packing gasket 22 arranged under the iange of the buoy 19 and against a shoulder 23 provided near the upper end of the chamber 17. The' buoy when the ship becomes submerged so that the chamber 17 will fill with water and the buoywill oat upwardly tothe surface.
Under ordinary conditions however, water in the chamber 17 is not desired, and any Water accidentally leaking into this chamber from waves which may Wash over the deck is removed through a drain pipe 30 and returned overboard by a pump 31.
In order that the buoy 16 may snugly fit chamber 17, chamber 17 is preferably provided with grooves 32 in which various runs of the cable 21 lie.
When the ship sinks and the signal or marking buoys l16 float to the surface, the will carry with them in line 25, and shifyt the chain cable approximately to the position shown in Fig. l with the four runs of the chain converging where they join the line 25.
By virtue of this arrangement, a salvaging vessel such for instance as the {ioating crane 35 may readily guide hoisting lines 36 into place by the simple expedient of passing split rings 37 around the lines 25, connectin an anchor or other hook 38 to the rings, an letting the rings slide down the lines 25 until the anchors may be en aged with the chains 21. In Fig. 1 I have lshown one hoisting line from the floating crane engaged with the chains 21 and another anchor being slid down the guide line 25 into position to 'en-v ga e the s ip prior to raising the same.l
bviousl various changes and alterations might be made in the general form and arrangement of the parts described without departing from the invention. Hence I do` not wish to limit myself to the details set forth, but shall consider myself lat liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
It is of course to be understood that the present invention is applicable to any type of boat or ship, from the largest 'steam vessels to the smallest hand propelled craft.
The use of the guiding rmgs for the anchors also render it possible to send down pontoons and air tanks Awhich may be slipped into the chains without the need for services'of a diver.
I claim:
