Abstract

16,861. Leon, K. O. Nov. 30. Mines, marine.-Consists in maintaining a freely floating mine at a given mean depth by the simultaneous action of a propulsive thrust and a change of buoyancy under the control of a hydrostat. This combined action is stated to cause a gradual slowing down of the oscillations of the mine and a longer time of control for a given store of energy. In the form shown, the propeller 17 and the piston 27' of the buoyancy chamber 25 are both worked by a reversible electric motor 19 under the control of a hydrostatic device 36, When the mine is first submerged, water enters through a pipe 28 into the buoyancy bhamber 25 and through a pipe 34, a hydrostatic valve 31, and a pipe 30 into a ballast chamber 29, until at a certain depth the hydrostatic pressure on a diaphragm closes the valve 31. In a modification, a spring motor is used to drive the propeller 17 through a reversible gear controlled by the hydrostat 36.
