Abstract

974. Lees, E. Jan. 13. Mines, marine; launching mines.-Relates to means for laying mines, especially interconnected mines, in succession from a vessel, and consists in causing the mines to leave the vessel automatically at predetermined intervals by means controlled by the propelling-engine or the movement of the mine-carrying vessel. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the mines B<1> are carried in the tail-end of a vessel A propelled by an engine A' supplied with compressed air from a reservoir A<2>. The mines and floats therefor are threaded over a screw-threaded shaft B<2>, which is rotated by the engine so as to discharge first a float or a sea anchor, then one mine after another; the mines are attached to their floats B<1x> by cables b, and are connected together in pairs by a cable b. A disk B<2x> also threaded on the shaft follows the mines to support the shaft. In a modification, a number of mines connected together in a line are held in the vessel by spring grippers, and are withdrawn therefrom by the pull of a sea anchor, or of a cable attached to the shore, when the vessel is propelled or towed.
