Abstract

843,244. Inflatable rafts. GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER CO. May 12, 1958 [Oct. 24, 1957], No. 15121/58. Class 113. An inflatable life raft comprises two congruent endless inflatable buoyant sections 1 and 2 having a horizontal deck 3 of fabric or the like extending along the mid-plane between them, the sections are so arranged or constructed that at least part of one buoyant section is horizontally disposed relative to the other to provide at least one boarding station. In the arrangement shown, the sections are of substantially elliptical shape arranged with their major axes at right angles thus providing two opposite boarding stations irrespective of which way up the raft is launched. Additional steps 8 may be provided at the boarding station together with hand grips 9. The buoyant sections may be of a substantially regular polygonal shape with the sections translated with respect to each other or the sections may be regular polygons with the exception of one inset section as in Fig. 3 (not shown).
