PATENT OFFICE.

The subject of the present invention is a device to prevent the sinking of such Watercraft that operate on shallow waters in the event of accidents (ship collisions, leaks, ground contact) to prevent.

The falling over and sinking of a damaged vehicle is intended according to the present Invention now prevented, at least

ίο but delayed to a sufficient extent, that the vehicle is preferably provided with two basic supports that can be folded up and down on each side at the bow and stern, which are usually pulled up and in a folded position along the side of the ship be recorded in an appropriate manner. In the event of danger, everyone is left If possible, fold down the base supports all at once, which then fold down with their lower Support ends against the ground, which means that the vehicle is set on its feet and is secured against falling and falling. So that the base supports that fold down To better adapt to the unevenness of the ground, it is advisable to use the ground supports to make extendable or extendable, in such a way that the basic supports when Sitting down, pulling out or lengthening automatically according to the respective depth. With With the help of appropriate facilities, each support can be in the desired position secured to the hull.

On the accompanying drawing is a river steamer set up according to the invention for As an illustration, it is assumed that the steamer has been run over is and the base supports are lowered into the position of use in which they the Support the steamer against falling over and sinking, which means that it will last for so long Water is held until help is on hand respectively. the rescue of passengers and crew is executed.

In the illustrated embodiment, the basic supports consist of two parts, an upper part α and a lower part b (Fig. 2). The upper part α is rotatably attached at c to a slightly inclined pig back d , so that when the upper part a is lowered from the dotted position into the position of use drawn with solid lines, the lower end is spread slightly to the side, whereby the base support the for Support of the hull required inclined position to the midship plane receives. The lower part b is displaceable in an appropriate guide e of the upper part.α and can be adjusted (raised or lowered) with reference to the upper part α by means of a pull cord f , either until the pointed or clawed foot g or a stop h at the upper end of the lower part b abuts against the guide e. If you let go of the pull rope / with the upper part α down, the lower part b will slide down until its foot g is supported on the ground. A pawl i attached to the guide e and engaging in a toothing of the lower part then prevents the lower part b from being able to be pulled up or. the upper part moves downwards with the guide e on the lower part

pushes when the weight of the ship begins to act on the base support extended in the manner described; The upper and lower parts are then coupled to one another against being pushed together by the ratchet device. In order to bring the basic supports into the correct position, suitable lines k and I are used, which are respectively at the lower ends of the tops. of the lower parts b are attached. The operation and mode of operation of the. The base supports are as follows: Assuming that the vehicle shown has been damaged by another at ζ in such a way that there is a risk of sinking, after the ropes have been released / by slackening the ropes / the base supports fall from the raised, dotted non-use position. By simultaneously hauling in the lines k, the base supports are respectively. the tops α then so far forward respectively. swung aft until they are against the front respectively. rear stops of a guide bracket m place or. until they assume the positions shown in the drawing. While settling down and before or When the base supports are pulled back, the lower parts b slide down in the guides e, according to the respective water depth, i.e. H. the basic supports extend automatically as required, whereby they are fixed in the extended or extended position by the pawls i If the vehicle is now kept to sink as a result of the penetrating water. begins, it will lay firmly on the deployed props and be supported by them in the desired manner. be worn. The lifting of the basic supports is done in the opposite way, the pawls i fail due to their weight (see dotted position), so that the lower parts b, thereby uncoupled, can be pulled up in the guides c with the help of the pull cords f.
