本発明は、水上飛行機に関する。特に、本発明は、浅瀬での水上救助動作を遂行するのに特に適した水上飛行機の改善に関する。 The present invention relates to a seaplane. In particular, the present invention relates to an improvement in a seaplane that is particularly suitable for performing water rescue operations in shallow waters.

一般的な発明の背景
救助用船は、比較的浅瀬に於いて、救助を実行するのにしばしば必要である。このようにして、比較的浅瀬又は沿岸にて遭難している船の乗員を救助するために、州又は連邦政府の一機関により用いられる救助用船を求めるニーズがある。
浅瀬に於ける救助(約３−８フィート(約０.９１−２.４４メートル)の間)には、喫水が最小であって、しかも被害者がひどく傷付いていても救助できる船が要求され、該船はストレッチャ即ち担架を必要とする。そのような船は、巻上げ機を用いるヘリコプタ救助に対応したデッキ構成を有することが望ましい。状況によっては、ヘリコプタは、担架即ちストレッチャを船から巻き上げることができねばならない。船に乗せたトラウマに苦しむ事故の被害者には、救急治療が早急に必要である。多くの人を救助でき、その中には医療ケアの一環としてストレッチャ即ち担架を必要とする人を救助できる船を求めるニーズがある。 General Invention Background Rescue ships are often necessary to perform rescues in relatively shallow waters. Thus, there is a need for a rescue vessel that can be used by a state or federal agency to rescue crew members who are relatively distressed in shallow water or on the coast.
Rescue in the shallows (between about 3-8 feet) requires a ship that has minimal draft and can be rescued even if the victim is severely injured. The ship requires a stretcher or stretcher. Such a ship preferably has a deck configuration for helicopter rescue using a hoist. In some situations, the helicopter must be able to wind up the stretcher or stretcher from the ship. Emergency victims are urgently needed for victims of accidents suffering from trauma on board. There is a need for a ship that can rescue many people, among them a rescuer that can help those who need stretchers as part of their medical care.

発明の要約
本発明は、改善された構成の救助用船を提供する。本発明の救助用船は、上部デッキ領域を具えた船体を具え、該上部デッキ領域は船首部と船尾部を有する。
船体は、船体を推進する推進システムを有する。船体は、一定の底勾配を有する(モノヘドロン形)船体であって、効率的な性能を有し、製造性が強化された拡大可能な面を有する。船首を安定させる踵部は、浅い喫水を有する船体側面内に位置する。大きなスプレーレールが、スプレーを最小にし、流体力学的に浮揚力を与えるべく、付与される。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an improved configuration of a rescue ship. The rescue ship of the present invention comprises a hull with an upper deck area, the upper deck area having a bow and stern.
The hull has a propulsion system that propels the hull. The hull has a constant bottom slope (monohedron type) and has an expandable surface with efficient performance and enhanced manufacturability. The saddle that stabilizes the bow is located in the side of the hull with a shallow draft. A large spray rail is applied to minimize spray and provide hydrodynamic levitation.

かなりの耐性があるフェンダーシステムが船体を保護するために配備されて、緊急時の浮揚力を付与する。船体は、デッキの隣にて船体に取り付けられた防舷材又はフェンダーを具えている。この防舷材又はフェンダーにより、沈むべき船体に例えば少なくとも１トン(０.９０７メートルトン)の正の浮揚力が与えられ、約１トンから約３トン(約０.９０７メートルトンから２.７２メートルトン)の浮揚力が好ましい。例えば、１.８トン(１.６３メートルトン)の正の浮揚力が付与される。
操縦室(pilot house)が、船体上にて上部デッキに設けられ、船体の略中央の上部デッキ領域に広がる。操縦室は、操縦室デッキ、前部、後部、及び側部を具える。 A fairly resistant fender system is deployed to protect the hull, providing emergency levitation. The hull has a fender or fender attached to the hull next to the deck. This fender or fender provides the hull to be submerged with a positive levitation force of, for example, at least 1 ton (0.907 metric tons), from about 1 ton to about 3 ton (about 0.907 metric ton to 2.72 A levitating force of metric tons is preferred. For example, a positive levitation force of 1.8 tons (1.63 metric tons) is applied.
A pilot house is set up on the upper deck on the hull and extends to the upper deck area approximately in the center of the hull. The cockpit includes a cockpit deck, front, rear, and sides.

一対の救助用凹部は、船体内にて上部デッキの下方、及び船体のポート側及びスターボード側の凹部であり、各救助用凹部は長さを有する。各救助用凹部の長さの大部分は、操縦室の後部の前に位置するのが好ましい。作業者がポート側及びスターボード側の救助用凹部を見る一方で、船を制御することができるように、２つの制御ステーション(例えば、ポート側及びスターボード側の椅子)が配備されている(操縦室の内側が好ましい)。
本発明はこのようにして、救助用の最適な作業者視界を有する改善された構成及びレイアウトを提供する。このようにして、更なる(redundant)操縦制御が可能となる。この更なる操縦制御は、例えば標準的な手動タイプのポンプの操舵、及び更にワイヤによる操舵飛行である。乗組員が着座することにより、動的エネルギーが随意的に吸収され、疲れを減らす。 The pair of rescue recesses are recesses on the lower side of the upper deck and on the port side and starboard side of the hull, and each rescue recess has a length. Most of the length of each rescue recess is preferably located in front of the rear of the cockpit. Two control stations (e.g., the port side and starboard side chairs) are deployed so that the operator can control the ship while viewing the rescue recesses on the port side and starboard side ( The inside of the cockpit is preferred).
The present invention thus provides an improved configuration and layout having an optimal worker view for rescue. In this way, redundant steering control is possible. This further maneuvering control is, for example, standard manual type pump steering, and also wire steering flight. By seating the crew, dynamic energy is optionally absorbed, reducing fatigue.

各救助用凹部は、デッキの船尾部領域の前に位置しているのが好ましい。操縦室は、少なくともポート側及びスターボード側の位置を有する多数の着座位置を有するのが好ましい。救助用凹部は、着座位置の前後に延びているのが好ましい。
