Abstract

740,709. Rafts; inflatable buoyancy members. SHAW, E. B. Feb. 5, 1954 [Feb. 6, 1953 ; Nov. 27, 1953], Nos. 3487/53 and 33065/53. Class 113. In a buoyant structure for use on water comprising a number of inflatable tubes 8 of flexible material connected with a rigid or substantially rigid buoyant portion, the tubes when uninflated are folded or rolled and stowed close against the, or an outer surface 1 of the rigid buoyant portion, and when inflated are elongated and extend away from the rigid buoyant portion in spaced relationship to one another and with the longitudinal' axes of the tubes extending outwards from the rigid or substantially rigid buoyant portion and in a general plane corresponding to or approaching that of the surface of the water when the structure is afloat so that the free ends of the tubes are capable of some free up and down movement relative to the rigid or substantially rigid buoyant portion. One embodiment of the invention is in the form of an attachment to a boat. In Figs. 4 and 5 the invention is applied to a reversible raft having a main deck 6 at each of its upper and lower surfaces, secondary decks 27 and collapsible hoods 21. The tubes 8 are formed with transverse constrictions 15 such that when inflated from the CO 2 bottle 18 they comprise a number of articulated sections capable of relative up and down movement. The tubes 8 are arranged in pairs connected by ropes 20.
