SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 289,208, dated November 2'?, 188,3.-
Application filed February 13,1883. Renewed October 27, 1883. (No model.)
T0 all 'az/71,0711, may con/cern,
Be it known that I, MANUEL Bnsosa, a subj ect of the King of Spain, at present residing in the city and State of New York, have invented `a new and useful Improvement in Iiifeoats;
y and I do hereby declare that the following is a the upper edge of the boat, on each side,to,eX-'
tend horizontally over the water when needed to prevent its capsizing, and be folded in to rest across the boat upon one of the seats when there is no danger.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a plan View of a life-beater yawl, showing my improved attachment fully extended upon one side and partly folded over upon the other. Fig. 2 isa transverse section in line through one division of the wings when fully extended, the manner of folding in the brackets being illustrated by dotted lines. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the boat with the wings extended.
A represents the hull of the boat, Bits keel, and C its ribs. The boat may be constructed upon any approved model, and of suitabledimensions for rowing or sailing. It is rendered buoyant by means of air-cells D D, tted to the sides of the boat in the spaces between the ribs, and bya tier of air-cells, E E, secured along the top edges of the sides. This tier of cells E E forms a guard along the gunwale, aseries of openings, a c c, being formed between the cells and the edge of the boat to permit a free es cape of water at the level of the seats. At the center of the boat these cells are omitted and wings or plates F F', of a length nearly equal to the width of the boat, are hinged to the gunwale to admit of being folded in across the boat or of being thrown out over the water in a horizontal plane. These plates are so hinged on either side relatively to one another as that the plates from one side may fold down over and upon these folded in from the opposite side. Vhen thus folded in, the lower plate vwill rest upon one of the seats of the boat for support, and the upper plate thereupon serve in itself as a seat. To the edge of each plate thus hinged to the side of the boat a second plate or leaf, F, is hinged, so as to fold over upon the first, and with it inward, and to open out therefrom to double its width, as shown in Fig. l. When thus opened out,the inner end ofthe second plate, F, rests upon and is supported by the gunwale of theV boat, and its outer end is locked and fastened by means of a bolt, G, or equivalent fastening device. The two plates are furthermore jointly supported by a bracket, K, hinged to the outer face of the inner edge of the second plate, F', in position to open out at right angles to said plate when the plate is dropped into its horizontal plane, and to bear with its inner edge against the outer side of the boat,between supporting strips or cleats O O, adapted to form a groove -or recess for the reception thereof. (See Fig.
i shown in Fig. 3. The wings are braced when thrown open, and are prevented from springing up under the action of the waves bymeans of cords H H, whose lower ends are secured to the keel, and are led thence through pulleys L L at the outer end of the plates and inward through eyes formed in the gunwale, near to the hinges to belaying-pins M M, to which they are secured. "When it is desired to fold in the wings, these cords are loosened, the plates F F are unlocked and folded over upon theplates F F, and the brackets G, lifted with them, are also folded in upon the plates F. (See Fig. 1 and dotted lines, Fig. 2.)-' The plates F F are then folded over into the boat, those from the one side resting upon the seat and those from the other upon the first, the brackets being carried out of the way under the plates F. The under side of the plate F is brought to the top,and forms in itself aseat for the boat. To spread the wings this order is reversed, and the plates,when opened out, locked by the bolts, and braced by the ropes, will serve effectively as a means for prevent- IOO Q www@ ing the boat from capsizing. The space left open in line with the tier of air-cells E E along the gunwale to admit of the dropping of the wings into a horizontal plane on a level with the gunwale is closed7 when the wings are extended, by means of guards or bars N, which are hinged at one end to fold over in line with the gunwale7 as clearly indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 3. These guards serve to pre- Vent an inward Wash of the water, which may y over upon the upper surface of the Wings.
I claiin as :my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination, with a yawl or life-boat, of Wings or ioat-plates F F', hinged to the gunwale to fold inward athwart.. the boat as a seat, or open out to extend in.. a horizontal plane over the Water, and of brackets G and sta T-cords H H, adapted to support and brace the plates when extended, all substantially in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
MANUEL BESOSA.
