Definitions

  • Present invention relates to an arrangement for evacuation of persons from a ship, especially from passenger ships of the "express boat” type, ferries or the like, where the evacuation arrangement is arranged substantially at deck height.
  • the arrangement is characterised in that a hatch member, which is inlaid in a side of the ship and which is pivotally mounted about a lower substantially horizontal axis arranged approximately at the level of the deck of the ship, is swingable from an inactive position in the side of the ship to an active use position outside the side of the ship by means of power-driven swinging mechanisms, and that the gangway forms carrier means for a raft package fastened in this, which raft package is readily readjustable from an inactive storage position internally in the ship to an active use position endways outside the gangway.
  • the evacuation arrangement can be handled in the easily controllable manner intended, in an inactive storage condition as well as in an active use condition and also in the readjustment phase between the storage and the use phase.
  • the hatch member forms carrier means for a telescopically outwardly movable gangway, the telescopic sections or which are each provided with two opposite side portions and an intermediate rigid bottom.
  • a first embodiment will be referred to and described first, as shown in Fig. 1 - 12.
  • Fig. 1-4 there is shown a ship's side 11 and ship's deck 12 on a passenger ship, for example on a ferry or so-called “express boat” or on a similar vessel.
  • a hatchway 13 is cut out, which is covered by means of a hatch member 14, such as indicated by broken lines in Fig. 1 and by fully drawn lines in Fig. 3.
  • the hatch member 14 is swingable about a substantially horizontal axis 14a at the lower end of the hatch opening 13.
  • the hatch member 14 is able to be cast out from an inactive vertical position (Fig. 3) to a horizontal out swung position (Fig. 4) by means of two support arm-forming compressed air medium cylinders 14b,14c, one end 14b' of which is pivotally mounted at the upper portion of the hatchway 13 and the opposite end 14b'' of which is pivotally mounted at the middle portion of the hatchway 14.
  • the hatch member 14 can itself form the gangway, but in order to obtain sufficient distance between raft 22 and side 11 of the ship and in order to obtain a moderate descending angle from the ship to the raft a relatively elongate gangway 15 is preferred.
  • the hatch member 14 forms a part of the gangway 15, which consists of mutually axially, that is to say telescopically displaceable gangway sections 15a, 15b, 15c.
  • FIG. 3 the hatch member 14 and the gangway 15 are shown with the sections 15a-15c in an inactive folded together condition, so that they take little space.
  • the hatch member 14 and the gangway 15 are shown in a horizontal position in Fig. 4 and 5, in which the gangway is illustrated in an inactive position, still in a folded together state.
  • the gangway sections 15a-15c are equipped with their respective bottom plate 16, which are carried along the longitudinal edges by a pair of associated lower channel-shaped telescope members 17 of rectangular cross-section. From the telescope member 17 holder means 18 project upwards at right angles with their respective bar-shaped support means 19, which are pivotally mounted about journals 18a of the holder means 18 for swinging from the position shown in Fig. 5 to the position shown in Fig. 6.
  • the support means 19 carry a set of three upper telescope members 20, which in a ready-for-use position, as is shown in Fig. 1 and 2, form the framework of the respective gangway section 15a - 15c. At 20a opposite, somewhat bent over framework ends of the framework are shown.
  • an inflatable raft 22 is jammed, in the form of a package 22a, such as shown in Fig. 5.
  • a space 21 which is formed between bottom plate 16 of the gangway section 15a and the lower telescope members 17 and holding means 18 plus the folded support means 19 and the upper telescope members 20
  • an inflatable raft 22 is jammed, in the form of a package 22a, such as shown in Fig. 5.
  • the inflatable raft package 22a is freely available for swinging outside the gangway and for subsequent inflation to the usual form of a raft.
  • raft package 22a is omitted in the position illustrated in Fig. 6, 7 and 8.
  • the pivot arm arrangement 23 is in the form of a U-shaped loop 26.
  • the central web 26a of the loop 26 forms a fastening for the raft package 22a.
  • Opposite legs 26b,26c of the loop 26 are swingable at the outer ends about a horizontal axis of respective lower telescope members 17 of the gangway section 15c.
  • the loop 26 is shown in a swung about condition relative to the starting position, which is illustrated in Fig. 5, 6 and 8.
  • the raft package 22a is fastened to the web portion 26a of the loop 26 in a manner not shown further.
  • the fastening can be designed correspondingly as shown in a second embodiment, which will be described further during reference to Fig. 9 - 12.
  • the pivot arrangement 23 is in the form of a pair of separate L-shaped pivot arms 27, one end of which is rigidly fastened in a fitting 28, which includes the raft package 22a, and the other end of which is pivotally mounted in a holder 35 (see Fig. 11 and 12) opening obliquely downwards.
  • One end of the pivot arms 27 is, as shown in Fig. 10, fastened separately to a central portion of a middle section 22b of the raft 22 via respective fittings 28.
  • the raft section 22b with the fittings 28 form a part of a peripheral portion of the raft package 22a, so that the raft package 22a can be swung about via the fittings 28 from the position shown in broken lines to the position shown in fully drawn lines in Fig. 11.
  • raft package 22a is shown in a schematic manner in the form of a cylindrical package, which in a manner known per se bursts open during the inflation of the raft.
  • the central portion 22b of the raft 22 is anchored via the fittings 28 and the pivot arms 27 to the outer end of the gangway 15, so that the weight loading from the gangway is transferred to the middle of the central portion 22b of the raft.
  • the fitting 28 comprises a curved, rigid plate 30, which is vulcanised into the material, which the raft package 22a is composed of.
  • the package 22a assumes the starting position, as shown in broken lines in Fig. 11, the package is axially packed together internally in the section 15c and can have for example a somewhat curved outline.
  • the raft package 22a assumes on the other hand - still in the uninflated condition - a substantially cylindrical, axially outstretched form, which is in readiness for inflation.
  • the fitting 28 is equipped on its upper side (see Fig. 11 and 12) with an angular profile 32, which forms carrier means for the associated pivot arm 27.
  • the pivot arm 27 is provided at the opposite end with a head portion 34, which is pivotally mounted in the holder member 35, so that the fitting 28 can be swung about, as shown by the arrow A from the position shown in broken lines to the position shown in fully drawn lines in Fig. 11.
  • the holder member 35 is, as shown in Fig. 12, fastened to a supporting axle 36, which passes through a transverse beam 37 at the outer end of the gangway section 15c.
  • Fig. 9 and 10 there are shown a pair of pneumatically driven piston/cylinder arrangements 38a and 38b extending mutually in parallel, which are fastened to the middle gangway section 15b.
  • the piston/ cylinder arrangements 38a,38b are adapted to displace the two remaining gangway sections 15a and 15b telescopically in opposite directions towards and from the middle gangway section 15b.
  • the support axle 36 of the holder member 35 is integrated in the outer end of the piston/cylinder arrangement 38a.
  • the holder member 35 is consequently also pushed out and ensures thereby the accompanying pushing out and swinging about of the raft package 22a. This is ensured due to the length of movement of the gangway section 15c being limited by means of stop arrangements and thereby being shorter than the length of movement of the piston/cylinder arrangement.
  • the pivot arms 27 are thereby forced to swing about from the position shown in broken lines to the position shown in fully drawn lines in Fig. 11, simultaneously as the telescope members 15a - 15c are pushed axially outwards relative to each other.
  • the loop 26 can correspondingly be forced to swing about from the position shown in Fig. 8 to the position shown in Fig. 1.
  • the individually pivotally mounted pivot arms 27 ensure a favourable, controlled possibility of movement for the raft 22 relative to the associated vessel, head portions 34 of the pivot arms 27 separately forming an approximate universal joint connection between raft 22 and bridge construction 15.
  • release hook is shown for manual release of the head portion 34 of the pivot arm 27 from the holder member 35.
  • the raft 22 can be released by a simple hand grip from the gangway 15, so that the raft can be released and form a separate raft.
  • the release hook 33 and the head portion 34 of the pivot arm 27 can cooperate in a corresponding manner as in a coupling arrangement known per se between for example a passenger car and a trailer.
  • a frame 100 is shown in a side 10 of the ship for the reception of a hatch member 114 able to be cast out.
  • the hatch member 114 is pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis 14a via a pair of hinges 101,102 at the lower edge of a hatch opening 113.
  • the hatch member 114 is longitudinally reinforced by means of a pair of C-shaped beams 103,104, which form fastenings for the hinges 101,102.
  • the hatch opening 113 is designed with a lower extension 105a a distance below deck 12 of the ship. Consequently a hatch opening 113 can be obtained, which exceeds the height between the deck 12 and an overlying deck 112 and which simultaneously gives a correspondingly increased longitudinal dimension to the hatch member 114, which supports a gangway 115.
  • a bridge-forming change ramp 108 is pivotally mounted in a bearing 107 about a horizontal axis 113a'.
  • the ramp 108 forms an easily adjustable connection between the deck 112 and the gangway 115.
  • the ramp 108 forms at its free outer end, via a support roll 109, a support abutment against an upwardly facing roll surface on each of a pair of telescope members 115a in the gangway 115.
  • the gangway 115 is, correspondingly as in the first embodiment, constructed of equivalent telescope sections 115a, 115b, 115c.
  • a spring (not shown further), which tensions the ramp 108 for supporting abutment against associated roll paths on the gangway 115.
  • the ramp 108 forms a gradated connection between the deck 12 and the doorstep foundation of the gangway 115 and is adapted to automatically assume a change position which is independent of the position of the gangway or movement relative to the sea.
  • the one (14b) of two pressure medium cylinders 14b,14c is shown, which at the one end is rotatably mounted in a first bearing 14' just within the hatch frame 100 and at the opposite end, that is to say at the outer end of the associated piston rod, is jointed via a second bearing 14'' in the gangway 115.
  • the pressure medium cylinders 14b,14c can be readjusted in various angular positions as required by remote control from a position for example just by the hatch opening.
  • Fig. 14 there is shown the one of a set of two locking mechanisms 140, which are arranged along each side edge of the hatch member 114 and which are adapted to engage respective locking grooves 141 in the hatch frame 100.
  • Two lock pawls 140a and 140b are shown, which are controlled by a common hydraulic cylinder 140c via associated piston rod 140d.
  • the locking mechanisms 140 Immediately the locking mechanisms 140 have nullified their locking engagement with the hatch frame 100 the hatch is ready for swinging to the outswung position, which is illustrated in Fig. 14, and ready for pushing out the telescope sections 115a - 115c, as shown in Fig. 15.
  • a pressure medium accumulator 142 which is connected via a pressure conduit 142a to the associated pressure medium cylinder 14b.
  • a corresponding pressure conduit can connect the accumulator 142 to the remaining pressure medium cylinder 14c.
  • the telescope sections 115a,115b,115c are moved outwardly by manual control to an appropriate oblique position relative to the ship by means of pressure medium cylinders 38a,38b (see Fig. 16), which provide for fixing and locking of the telescope sections in such an intended pushed out position.
  • valve 143 in the pressure conduits 142a between the accumulator 142 and associated cylinders 14a,14b.
  • the activation of valve 143 involves the accumulator 142 being connected to the one work chamber, that is to say to the negative side of the cylinders 14b and 14c.
  • the telescopic gangway can hereby be allowed to be able to follow the wave movements of the raft 22 at the same time as the rolling movements or rocking movements of the ship are compensated for, without producing unnecessary loadings in the gangway 115 or its connections to the raft 22.
  • the accumulator 141 cooperates to automatically pivot the hatch 114 upwards from the raft by neutralising the weight from the raft 22. Crew or passengers can hereby be prevented from being hurt in the raft on evacuation in high seas.
  • Fig. 16 an arrangement is shown with a cassette 144 with an associated longitudinally displaceable lid 145 arranged in a cavity between the upper side of the hatch 114 and the under side of the gangway 115.
  • the raft 22 is received in a packed together condition.
  • the lid 145 can for example be fastened to the innermost telescope section 115a, while the cassette 144 itself can be fastened to the outermost telescope section 115c, so that the lid 145 on outward sliding of the telescope sections can be displaced automatically relative to the cassette 144 and can thereby uncover an access opening in the cassette 144, so that the raft is in readiness for inflation and exposure via an equivalent cavity in the bottom part of the telescope section 115c.
  • the operation of the gangway and the raft is preferably effected in the following manner:
  • the locking mechanism is nullified by actuation of a first operating button of an on/off breaker and the cylinders 14b,14c are activated, so that the hatch 114 is pivoted outwards, as shown in Fig. 14.
  • a second operating button is actuated, which activates the cylinders 38a,38b, so that the telescope sections are pushed out to the outer position, as shown in Fig. 15.
  • the movement of the telescope sections can be controlled in an inwardly directed or outwardly directed movement as required.
  • a release line (not shown further herein) is employed for release of the inflation function of the raft at an appropriate phase during the outward sliding of the telescope sections towards their illustrated outer position, that is to say in a position where the lid 145 completely or partially uncovers the access opening to the cassette 144.
  • One end of the release line is fastened at the hatch opening, so that the inflation starts automatically at an outwardly pushed position of the telescope sections 115a - 115c established beforehand.
  • a corresponding pull wire 147 is fastened at the hatch opening and provides for a framework-forming wire 148 to be stretched in extension of the pull wire and provides for framework poles 119 to be raised from a horizontal to a vertical position to form a continuous framework 119, 148, 147.
