Description

The invention relates to torpedoes that are automatically installed as barrage mines. In the proposed torpedo, the measles suspended on the rod are detached from the torpedo under the action of a remote device, which pulls the rod in order to shut off the air duct to stop the torpedo's moving mechanisms.

In FIG. 1 shows a front view of a torpedo, partially cut off; FIG. 2 is a section along the line AB in FIG. I; FIG. 3-mounted torpedo; FIG. 4-vertical section of the remote device; FIG. 5 is a section along the line of the LED in FIG. four.

The proposed torpedo (Figs. 1 and 2) is provided with a rod 5 located in U1x5, on which, when using hooks 4 and 5/5, measles 3 are suspended, detached from the torpedo under the action of a remote device (Fig. 4 and 5).

Anchor 5 receives negative buoyancy by filling the void inside with water. For communication between

35

The torpedo and minip JO (Fig. 3) serves as a steel rod P, attached to the tail of the mine using a hinge (Fig. 1).

The rod .5 ends with a piston 75 placed in the powder chamber 7 and serving to sense the force of the explosion of the powder filling the chamber.

The torpedo is equipped with an engine operating by means of compressed air contained in cylinders 7.

The remote device (Figs. 4 and 5) consists of a membrane 2 / (leather or rubber) and a rod 22 freely entering the sleeve 23 and which is in contact with the hammer 24. The rod 22 is connected to the upper end by means of a hinge 5 / with a membrane 2 /.

The capsule 25 is intended to transmit the flame through the powder channel and the tube 20 to the upper movable distance disk 77, under which there is a stationary remote disk 18 that communicates with the powder chamber 7. The movable remote disk 77 has a closed outside

powder groove, in order to contact tube 20 with said groove during all turns of the remote disc.

The rod} 9 with its lower end freely enters the corresponding slot of the upper distance disk / 7, the upper end is tightly connected to the handle 32, on which the corresponding divisions (distances) are applied. Under the handle 2 is placed a sealing rubber ring connected to the cap.

To control handle 32, the latter is pulled up and lowered after setting to the desired distance. The spring 30 serves to create a greater density between the handle 2 and the rubber ring 76. The striker 28 is screwed onto the cap 27 only when fired.

In order to prevent, after the shot, spontaneous opening of the cover 27, a latch 29 is applied.

Before firing, the torpedo adjusts to the distance at which it is desirable from the placing ship by means of a remote device

put a mine, and is released from the vehicle as a normal torpedo.

When the torpedo is fired, the piston / 5, being shifted towards the needles of the crypot, frees the hook 4, whereby the bark 3 separates from the torpedo, the I-Ich torpedo rod is carried along with it, taking the position indicated in FIG. 3

Simultaneously with the release of the hooks 4, the piston 75, acting on the lever 8, closes the access of its air into the engine, which, moreover, stops the work of the latter.

The subject matter of the invention.

A torpedo that automatically installs, as a mine barrier, is characterized by using a 4 core 3 suspended on a rod, detached under the action of a remote fixture, pulling pins 5 with a piston 75, including a lever 8, in order to shut off the ductwork of the torpedo propulsion mechanisms.
