PATENT OFFICE

The innovations consist in devices to keep the beds of a seagoing ship in any position to keep the ship horizontal.

Fig. Ι the accompanying drawing is a provided with this device bed A, shown half in section. On the left is a side view of the counterweight and, in the figure, a horizontal section through the slide D and its guides JJ.

Fig. 2 shows a bed A , half in section, with a somewhat modified device.

Figure 3 is a cross-section through pivot B with a front view of slide D and the head end of bed A, Figure 1, in dotted lines.

FIG. 4 is a view of the slide D with the head end and pin B of the bed shown in FIG.

The bed A is supported at the head and foot ends by the short, disk-shaped pivot pins B, FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4, on the circumference of which small rollers are embedded to reduce friction.

Two arms x ³ x ¹ , Fig. 1 and 3, projecting over the circumference of the pivot and cast in one piece with the same, which are facing each other, are used at the top to fasten the rope m, at the bottom for fastening the castors x ^s x ⁶ .

As the slide D now presses on the slide x ^s , it and the rope m attached to the upper arm χ ³ hold the pivot B in the bearing Z. When raising and lowering the bed ends, the slide χ ⁵ slides on the slide D, which passes through the ropes d ¹ and d? be pulled against the ends of the bed.

One is secured against unnecessary mobility of the ends of the bed by the fact that the sliding rollers x ^h and x ^{e of} the arm x ^{i of} the pivot B are guided by the sliding track D. These slideways or supports DD are suspended from pins a ^{x of} the bearings b screwed to the walls of the bunk, so that the slideway D can swing back and forth against the wall of the bunk. It is guided by strips J at the lower free end protruding below the bed drawer.

At the lower end of the left track D , one end of the rope d ^{1 is} attached; the same, goes from there under the fixed pulley E ^ sitting on the right wall of the bunk upwards behind the right slide D and is spliced together at x ¹ with the rope m , which rope goes over the pulleys E ,. which are fixed to the walls of the bunk and on which the pivot pins B are suspended by means of the arms x ^3. Another rope d ² starts in the same way from the slide D on the right and is connected to the rope m at its other end at x ^l .

In the device shown in Figure 2, the rope m can also be omitted; in this case the pivot pins B are carried by the supports or slideways D , while the cables d ¹ d ² of FIG. 1 are replaced in FIG. 2 by the rod d and joints D ¹ . The two pivot pins B, FIGS. 2 and 4, are each provided with a tongue c which is rotatably connected to the slide D. The top

Ends of these slideways have a pivot point in the axes of the slotted rollers aa through which they pass. These rollers are attached to the wall of the bunk by arms b. Above the pivot point of the slideway, the same is somewhat elongated and goes through the slot k of the attachment h located on the pivot pin B. This slot is long enough to allow movement of the top of the slide as it swings about its pivot point.

At the lower end of the slide D , the same is connected by the hinge F to the joint piece D ^x , which has its fixed pivot point in the arm H attached to the side wall of the cabin. These joint pieces D ^x are connected to one another by the rod d.

In this device, which as previously described, Fig. I, for the head end as is the same for the foot end in its individual parts, one has one of the movement of the Ship achieved corresponding displaceability of the slideway with the pivot of the bed.

When in this arrangement, Fig. 2, the rope m is used, the ends of the same are attached to the lugs h .

The devices of FIGS. 1 and 2 can also be designed in such a way that the pivot pins are fastened to the two end faces of the bed, while the pivot bearings are guided by the slideways and suspended from the ropes m , or, as in FIG rest the arms c.

As long as the axis of length of the bed and thus also the pivot pins B are in a horizontal line, the weight of what is in the bed always keeps it floating in the correct position. The devices described are intended to secure this horizontal position of the bed when the ship stamps and rolls or lurches. The sliding tracks D , which are movable in the joint, and the ropes md ¹ d ² keep the bed floating in the correct position by canceling the effects of the pitching, while the rolling or rolling of the ship or the oscillations of the ship are canceled by the bed also turning can rotate its axis of length or the pivot pin BB.

If the length axis of the bed is in the length axis of the ship, then the uplift is and lowering of the head and foot ends of the same in accordance with the stamping movement of the ship and not nearly as strong as in the case where the bed with its axis of length stands across the longitudinal axis of the ship.

In this case the raising and lowering of the ends of the head and feet is according to that Rolling or rolling of the ship, a larger one, and the attachment for such a roll bed of the lever weight, Fig. i, required.

This weight lever is intended to weaken the movement of the bed and the effect of sudden movements of the ship on it. The lever P, which can also consist of two parts hinged in the middle, Fig. 1, is a straight rod which carries a weight W at its lower end and an arm U bent at right angles at its upper end. This lever has its pivot point V in or near the middle of the rear wall of the sleeping cabin, approximately in the middle between the head and foot ends of the bed.

The lever P in the drawing is arranged in such a way that its lower half with the weight W can swing around the pins V ¹ V ¹ in the direction perpendicular to the rear wall of the bunk, corresponding to the pounding of the ship when this rear wall crosses the ship goes. But the lever P with the weight W also vibrates about the pivot pin V, which is fixed in the rear wall of the sleeping compartment, parallel to this wall as it is due to the rolling or lurching ¹ · movement of the ship. This mobility in the suspension of the counterweight ensures that the bed is in the perpendicular position for all movements of the ship, the wear of the pin is less and the effectiveness of the weight and lever is greater and more secure. The connection of the lever P to the bed is done by the arm U at the upper end, which is bent at right angles and to which the cable m is fastened approximately in the middle between the rollers E. The horizontal position of the bed is therefore directly caused by the inertia of the weight lever in its perpendicular position by means of the rope m .

When the ship leans to one side, the lever P pulls the rope m to the other side and vice versa, and thus automatically eliminates the disturbing effects of the lurching on the bed.
