Um Torpedos von der Breitseite von in Fahrt begriffenen Schiffen oder unter strömendem Wasser abzuschiefsen, wird (siehe z. B. die Patentschrift 100844) in der Weise vorgegangen, dafs man das Treibrohr sammt einem daran befestigten Führungsschild so weit aus dem Treibrohrgehäuse hinausschiebt, dafs der Führungsschild ganz im Wasser liegt. Sodann wird der Torpedo durch Druckluft aus dem. Treibrohr geschleudert, und sobald er der ganzen Länge nach im Führungsschild liegt, der aus einem Kanal von U-förmigem Querschnitt besteht, dessen offene Seite der Strömung bezw. dem Bug des Schiffes zugekehrt ist, während die Rückseite desselben von Thüren gebildet wird, die an der oberen bezw. unteren Wand des Führungsschildes eingelenkt sind, werden diese Thüren entriegelt und durch den dynamischen Wasserdruck geöffnet, so dafs der Torpedo sich mit einem Schlag der ganzen Länge nach im freien Wasser befindet und seine Bewegung ungehindert fortsetzen kann.To torpedoes from the broadside of ships in motion or under pouring Shooting water, the procedure (see e.g. patent specification 100844) is as follows: that one pushes the propulsion tube together with a guide plate attached to it out of the propulsion tube housing so far that the Guide sign is completely in the water. The torpedo is then removed from the torpedo by compressed air. Propulsion pipe thrown, and as soon as it lies along its entire length in the guide plate, which consists of a channel of U-shaped cross-section, the open side of which the flow respectively facing the bow of the ship, while the back of the same is facing doors is formed, which respectively on the upper. lower wall of the guide plate are pivoted, if these doors are unlocked and opened by the dynamic water pressure, so that the torpedo is suddenly in the open water along its entire length and can continue its movement unhindered.

Hierauf wird das Treibrohr sammt dem. Führungsschild wieder eingeholt, wobei die Thüren geschlossen und verriegelt werden.Then the propulsion pipe together with the. The guide plate has been recovered, with the Doors are closed and locked.

Die vorliegende Erfindung hat eine Einrichtung zum Gegenstande, welche das Entriegeln der Thüren sowie das Schiiefsen und Verriegeln derselben in einfacher und verläfslicher Weise selbsttätig bewerkstelligt.The subject of the present invention is a device which enables unlocking of the doors as well as the opening and locking of the same in a simpler and more reliable manner Way done automatically.

Fig. 4 shows an end view of the device, seen from the outer end of the propulsion tube housing, with the last pair of doors of the guide shield should just be closed.

Fig. ι und 5 zeigen zwei Ansichten von Thüren zur Veranschaulichung des Verriegelns.Fig. Ι and 5 show two views of doors to illustrate the locking.

Im vorderen Ende des im Treibrohrgehäuse 1 geführten Treibrohres 2 ist der Führungsschild von U-förmigem Querschnitt befestigt. Dieser besteht aus einer oberen und einer unteren Wand 3, die im vorderen, kastenförmig erweiterten Ende 4 des Treibrohrgehäuses mittelst Rippen 5 geführt sind und an der der Wasserströmung, bezw. dem Bug des Schiffes zugekehrten Seite durch ein Gitterwerk 6 mit einander in Verbindung stehen. An der anderen Seite der Wände 3 sind Thüren 7, 8 eingehängt, und zwar besteht jede der Thüren 7, 8 aus mehreren gleichen Theilen, von denen je ein oberer und ein diesem gegenüberliegender unterer ein zusammenarbeitendes Paar bilden. Die freien Ränder der ein Paar bildenden Thürtheile sind nach Art von Zahnstangen, ausgeschnitten, derart, dafs, wenn die Thüren eines Paares zusammengeklappt sind, wie Fig. 1In the front end of the drive tube housing 1 guided propulsion tube 2 is attached to the guide plate of U-shaped cross-section. This consists of an upper and a lower wall 3, which widened in the front, box-shaped End 4 of the propulsion tube housing are guided by means of ribs 5 and on which the water flow, respectively the bow of the ship facing side by a latticework 6 with each other stay in contact. Doors 7, 8 are hung on the other side of the walls 3, Each of the doors 7, 8 consists of several equal parts, each of which an upper and a lower opposite form a working pair. The free edges of the door parts forming a pair are in the manner of toothed racks, cut out, so that when the doors of a pair are folded, as in Fig. 1

und 5 zeigen, die Zähne des einen in die Zahnlücken des anderen Theiles greifen.5 and 5 show the teeth of one part engaging in the gaps between the teeth of the other part.

An den nach einer Seite (dem Treibrohr zu) gekehrten Zahnflanken der. einen, beispielsweise der unteren, Thürtheile sind Zapfen 9 und an den diesen Zapfen zugekehrten Zahnflanken der anderen, hier also der oberen, Thürtheile sind zur Aufnahme dieser Zapfen geeignete Löcher 10 angebracht, und dabei ist die Breite der Zahnlücken der letzteren — oberen — Thüren so bemessen,. dafs die Zähne sammt den Zapfen der ersteren — unteren — Thüren in diese Zahnlücken seitlich eintreten können, wenn die Thüren zugeklappt werden. Ist letzteres geschehen, so braucht man nur die unteren Thüren längs ihrer Drehachse an der unteren Wand 3 des Führungsschildes zu verschieben, so dafs die Zapfen 9 in die Löcher 10 eingreifen, um hierdurch die Thüren in der zugeklappten Lage zu verriegeln. Die oberen Thüren 7 müssen selbstverständlich gegen Längsverschiebung gesichert sein. Die unteren Thürtheile dagegen müssen längs ihrer Achse beweglich sein. . . :. ■On the tooth flanks of the. one, for example the lower, door parts are pins 9 and on the tooth flanks facing these pins the other, in this case the upper, door parts are suitable for receiving these tenons Holes 10, and the width of the gaps between the teeth of the latter - upper - Doors so dimensioned. that the teeth together with the tenons of the former - lower - doors can enter these tooth gaps laterally when the doors are closed. is If the latter happens, one only needs the lower doors along their axis of rotation on the to move the lower wall 3 of the guide plate, so that the pins 9 into the holes 10 intervene to lock the doors in the closed position. The top Doors 7 must of course be secured against longitudinal displacement. The lower Door parts, on the other hand, must be movable along their axis. . . :. ■

Bei hergestellter Verriegelung liegen die auf einander folgenden unteren Thürtheile dicht an einander, so dafs, wenn die dem Treibrohr zunächst liegende Thür 8 nach aufsen geschoben wird, um sie zu entriegeln, auch alle übrigen unteren Thüren diese Bewegung mitmachen müssen und somit alle Thüren gleichzeitig entriegelt werden.When the lock is established, the lower parts of the door that follow one another are close together to each other, so that when the door 8, which lies next to the propulsion pipe, is pushed outwards In order to unlock it, all other lower doors will also join in this movement must and therefore all doors are unlocked at the same time.

An dem vom Treibrohr am weitesten entfernten unteren ThUrtheile ist eine federnde Sperrklappe 11 (Fig. 4 und 6) eingelenkt, welche bei hergestellter Verriegelung mit einer Nase 12 zwischen benachbarte Zähne des oberen und unteren Thürtheiles greift und hierdurch eine Längsverschiebung der unteren Thürtheile verhindert. On the lower part, furthest from the propulsion tube, is a resilient part Locking flap 11 (FIGS. 4 and 6) pivoted, which when the lock is established with a nose 12 engages between adjacent teeth of the upper and lower parts of the door and thereby one Longitudinal displacement of the lower parts of the door prevented.

Wird nun das Treibrohr 2 sammt. dem Führungsschild aus dem Treibrohrgehäuse in irgend einer Art, beispielsweise durch in das Gehäuse hinter das Treibrohr' eingelassene Druckluft, hinausgetrieben, so verhindert die Sperrklappe 11 die Entriegelung der Thüren, die sonst durch Verschiebung der unteren Thürtheile infolge der Trägheit leicht eintreten könnte.If now the propulsion pipe 2 together. the guide plate from the drive tube housing in any of a kind, for example by means of compressed air let into the housing behind the propulsion pipe, driven out, the locking flap 11 prevents the unlocking of the doors that would otherwise go through Displacement of the lower parts of the door could easily occur as a result of inertia.

Ist dann der Führungsschild vollständig ins Wasser geschoben, so wird der Torpedo aus dem Treibrohr in bekannter Weise abgeschossen, indem man Druckluft hinter dem Torpedo in das Treibrohr treten läfst.If the guide shield is then pushed completely into the water, the torpedo is turned off shot down the propulsion tube in a known manner by placing compressed air behind the Let the torpedo kick into the propulsion tube.

Sobald der. Torpedo das äufserste Thürenpaar erreicht hat, .drückt der Torpedokörper die Sperrklappe 11 nach aufsen, indem.er über einen durch den unteren .Thürtheil in das Innere des Führungsschildes ragenden Ansatz.13 der Klappe wegläuft. .Hierdurch wird . die Nase 12 der Klappe aus den Zähnen, der Thürtheile hinausgedrückt .und die unteren Thürtheile 8 können sich behufs Entriegeins verschieben.Once the. Torpedo has reached the outermost pair of doors, the torpedo body pushes the locking flap 11 outwards by moving it over a shoulder protruding through the lower door part into the interior of the guide shield. 13 the flap runs away. .This makes. the nose 12 of the valve from the teeth, the Door parts pushed out and the lower ones Door parts 8 can shift for unlocking.

Das letztere wird dadurch herbeigeführt, dafs ein am Torpedoschwanz angebrachter, in einer Längsnuth des Treibrohres geführter Ansatz 14 beim völligen Austritt des Torpedos aus dem Treibrohr gegen das in das Innere des letzteren reichende Ende eines aufsen am Treibrohr bei 15 eingelenkten Hebels 16 stöfst, dessen anderes Ende durch eine aufsen am Treibrohr . hingehende Stange 17 mit einem Arm 18 eines aufsen am Treibrohr gelagerten Winkelhebels verbunden ist. Die Lage dieses Winkelhebels am Treibrohr ist nun so gewählt, dafs, wenn das Treibrohr behufs Abschiefsens des Torpedos vollends hinausgeschoben ist und in der kastenförmigen Erweiterung 4 am Ende* des Treibrohrgehäuses liegt, der Zapfen 19 am zweiten Arm des Winkelnebels 18 unter einen im Innern des Kastens 4 liegenden Arm 20 einer in diesem Kasten gelagerten Drehwelle 25 greift. Es wird daher, sobald Hebel 16 durch den aus dem Treibrohr tretenden Torpedo gedreht wird, auch der Arm 20 durch den Zapfen 19 emporgedreht und damit der aufserhalb des Kastens 4 liegende Arm 21 der Drehwelle herabgedrückt, wodurch unter Vermittelung einer Stange 22 ein Ventil 23 am oberen Ende eines am Kasten befestigten Cylinders 27 geöffnet wird, das Druckluft aus dem üben dem Kolben 26 liegenden Theil des Cy-. linders 27 entweichen läfst. Der Kolben, auf dessen Unterseite beständig Druckluft wirkt, wird hierdurch in die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Lage· gehoben und dreht unter Vermittlung seiner Stange 28 einen im Kasten 4 gelagerten Hebel 29, dessen innerhalb des Kastens befindlicher. Arm 30 bei der Ausstofsstellung des Treibrohres über einer Stange 31 liegt, die von den wage-' rechten Armen zweier aufsen am Treibrohr. gelagerter Winkelhebel 32 getragen wird. Dadurch wird die Stange 31 herabgedrückt, und es werden die senkrechten in eine längs des. Treibrohres geführte Stange 33 eingreifenden Arme/ der ,Winkelhebel 32 und damit auch diese Stange. selbst nach vorn geschoben und.· das vordere, ander vordersten unteren Thür 8 des Führungsschildes anliegende Ende der Stange 33 schiebt diese und damit auch alle anderen unteren Thüren so weit längs ihrer Achsen hinaus, dafs die Zapfen 9 an den Zähnen der unteren Thüren aus den Löchern 10 der oberen treten. Natürlich mufs, bevor dies geschehen kann, die Sperrklappe 11 durch den Torpedokörper in der angegebenen Weise· zurückgedrückt worden sein. Es werden daher alle Thürpaare 7, 8. gleichzeitig entriegelt und öffnen sich alle zugleich unter dem dynamischen Druck des Wassers, so dafs der Torpedo sich mit einem. Schlag im freien. Wasser befindet, und seine .Fahrt ungehindert fortsetzen, kann.The latter is brought about by the fact that an in approach 14 guided by a longitudinal groove of the propulsion tube when the torpedo emerges completely from the propulsion tube against the end of an outer end that extends into the interior of the latter The propellant pipe hits 16 when the lever is pivoted in, the other end through an outside on the propulsion tube. going rod 17 with one Arm 18 of an angle lever mounted on the outside of the drive tube is connected. The location of this The angle lever on the propulsion pipe is now chosen so that, when the propulsion pipe is used for the purpose of sloping off of the torpedo is pushed out completely and in the box-shaped extension 4 at the end * of the propulsion tube housing is located, the pin 19 on the second arm of the angle nebula 18 under one Arm 20 of a rotary shaft 25 mounted in this box and located inside the box 4 engages. It is therefore rotated as soon as lever 16 is rotated by the torpedo emerging from the propulsion tube is, the arm 20 is rotated up through the pin 19 and thus the outside of the box 4 lying arm 21 of the rotating shaft is pressed down, whereby under mediation a rod 22, a valve 23 at the top of a cylinder 27 attached to the box is opened, the compressed air from the part of the cy-. Linders 27 lets escape. The piston, on the underside of which compressed air constantly acts, is thereby lifted into the position shown in FIG. 1 and rotates through the intermediary of it Rod 28 a mounted in the box 4 lever 29, which is located inside the box. Arm 30 in the Ausstofsstellung the propulsion pipe is above a rod 31, which is from the wage- ' right arms of two outside on the propulsion tube. mounted angle lever 32 is carried. Through this the rod 31 is pushed down, and the vertical rods will engage in a rod 33 guided along the drive tube Arms / the, angle lever 32 and thus also this rod. pushed forward and. the front, the other foremost lower door 8 of the guide plate adjacent end of the rod 33 pushes this and thus all other lower doors so far out along their axes that the tenons 9 on the teeth of the lower doors step out of the holes 10 of the upper ones. Of course, it has to be done before this can, the locking flap 11 through the torpedo body in the specified manner have been pushed back. All pairs of doors 7, 8 are therefore unlocked and at the same time all open at the same time under the dynamic pressure of the water, so that the torpedo opens with a. Blow outdoors. Water and can continue its journey unhindered.

Claims

So it will be the. caused by the exit of the torpedo from the propulsion tube Rotation of the lever 16 used to a on the drive tube housing located mechanism to trigger with a special power source, which in turn again the one guided on the propulsion tube housing. Rod 33. Movement imparted to the Doors to unlock .. The structural arrangement of this mechanism can be done without to deviate from the essence of the invention can be chosen arbitrarily. According to the drawing the valve 23 is opened when the arm 21 of the rotary shaft 25 is pressed down, that the rod 22 buckles a toggle lever 24, which on the one hand presses against the valve 23 and on the other hand against an abutment.

If the rod 22 goes up again, the toggle lever 24 is stretched straight and that Valve pressed against its seat. To regulate the contact pressure of the valve 23 and to prevent the parts from jamming or breaking, the counter-support is made of the toggle lever 24 is not fixed, but instead takes the form of a plate that is supported by a spring 34 against a solid. Stop 35 is printed so. that the plate is true when it is stretched straight of the toggle lever against the pressure of the spring 34 can recede somewhat, but by the The spring cannot be pushed forward enough to prevent the lever from buckling to cause.

After the torpedo has been removed, the propellant tube together with the guide shield is in retrieved into the propellant casing in some suitable manner.

The pair of doors 7, 8 lying next to the propulsion pipe first enters the box 4, the must be far enough to allow unhindered entry to the doors that are still open to allow. Approaches 36 run on the doors on helical guide rails 37 in the housing, whereby the doors are closed, first the upper and then the lower. The guardrails 37 and the extensions 36 are of course dimensioned and located in such a way that the doors, when closed, the arms 20 and 30 do not touch. The lower door 8 is in the position in which it is has been brought by moving the rod 33, it can therefore the teeth on upper edge of this door together with the pin 9 laterally in the gaps between the teeth of the upper door enter. As soon as the lower door 8 is closed, the lower guardrail 37 runs on rotatable along the axis of the lower door, but secured against displacement along this axis Lever 38, the outer end of which is connected by a rod 39 to the lower door by a ball joint. Of the Lever 38. is therefore turned up, and by means of rod 39 that of the propulsion tube initially lying Thürtheil 8 pressed against the propulsion pipe, whereby first of all the pins 9 on the teeth of this door part into the holes 10 on the teeth of the opposite one the upper part of the door is printed and thus the two parts of the door are locked, and Secondly, the rod 33 together with the levers 32 and the rod 31 are returned to the starting position will. :. ■

The closing and locking of the other pairs of doors takes place in the same way; at the Closing the last pair of doors pushes the nose 12 of the locking flap 11 against a tooth of the upper part of the door and is thereby pushed back in order to to fall between the teeth of the upper and lower door by the spring of the locking flap and thus to secure the doors against accidental unlocking.

When pulling in the propulsion pipe, the valve 23 is expediently closed by a spring and the rod 17 together with the levers 16 and 18 advanced by a spring, the piston 26 by admitting compressed air at the upper end of the cylinder 27 pressed down, and these parts together with the levers 20, 30 are then also in the starting position returned.

The device is then ready for reloading a torpedo.
. There are thus only a few parts to be attached to the propulsion tube and the guide plate, which neither can get into disorder nor require readjustment, while all parts of the mechanism which require more careful handling are arranged on the outside of the propulsion tube housing and are easily accessible.
