Abstract

Die Mastvorrichtung (1) für ein Unterseeboot umfasst eine Führungseinrichtung (3), einen daran geführten, vertikal verfahrbaren Mast (2) und am Mastoberende vorgesehene, mit dem Inneren des Unterseebootes in elektrischer Wirkverbindung stehende Informationsmittel (5) zum Senden und Empfangen von Informationen. Die Informationsmittel (5) sind in einer am Mastoberende zu diesem verbindungsfrei gehaltenen, schwimmfähigen Einheit (4) angeordnet. Die schwimmfähige Einheit (4) ist an einem biegsamen, nachlassbaren und einziehbaren Kopplungsmittel (7) von der Länge im Wesentlichen der maximal gewünschten Beobachtungstauchtiefe des Unterseebootes befestigt (Fig. 1).

Figure 00000001
The mast device (1) for a submarine comprises a guide device (3), a vertically movable mast (2) guided thereon and information means (5) for transmitting and receiving information provided at the top of the mast and in electrical communication with the interior of the submarine. The information means (5) are arranged in a floatable unit (4), which is held at the top of the mast and is free of connection to it. The floatable unit (4) is attached to a flexible, detachable and retractable coupling means (7) which is essentially the maximum desired depth of observation of the submarine (FIG. 1).
