FLEXIBLE ARM AND MITTEN.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 5, 1911.
Application filed October 23, 1909, Serial No. 524,234. Benewed April 28, 1911. Serial No. 623,961.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CHARLES WILLIAM- soN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk and State of Virginia, have; invented new and useful Improvements in Flexible'Arms and Mittens, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a flexiblearm and mitten for submarine work. While my in-- vention is especially intended for use with caissons, it may readily be used in other connections, as for instance with divers suits,-
submarine boats, etc.
The object of my invention is to enable work to be done by hand-outside of the body structure in which the workman is located. In order that such work may be done .with facility it is necessary that the ex be done, and which accommodates the arm of the workman. This tube I call the main body of my device. Attached to the end of this tube which is of suitable length is a mitten for accommodatingthe hand of the workman. 'This mitten is formed with a rigid palm and flexible thumb. and finger the mitten portion is capable of being twisted, and the finger and thumb portions are flexible, the hand of the workman may be turned through a widev range tograsp any object within his reach. To further increase the ease of-manipulati on of my device I so proportion its weight that it is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the device. This enables the operator to-move it within a wide range with all ease, it being necessary to move no weight but only to the flexibility of the device.
The construction of the flexible members of my device iscomposite, they being formed of a number of related parts so shaped and made of such material as will con uce to greatest flexibility. Likewise the juncture of the mitten with the main body of my device is formed to securean easy turning movement.
- overcome the slight elastic resistance due to The details of these structures and the,
advantages: of my improved device will be apparent from a consideration of the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which,-
F igurel is a side elevation of my device attached to a body structure, certain of its parts being shown in section. Figs. 2' and 3 are end and sectional side elevations of the palm portion of the mitten. Figs. 4 and -5 are plan and section respectively of an end member used in connection with the palm portion of the mitten, and Figs. 6 and 7 are plan and section respectively of a metallic end cap used on the thumb and finger portions of the mitten.
Referring to the drawings, 10 represents the main body portion of my device which accommodates the arm of the workman. This body port-ion is tubular and is formed of two flexible water proof casings 11 and 12 spaced apartby flexible members 13 of rubber or other, suitable material. Between the flexible members 13 are interposed rigid spacing members 14. These members are .preferably of metal and of the form shown in section in Fig. 1. It will be noted that this section is in eflect triangular, the rings bearing at three points, each edge contacting with an adjacent flexible member 13, and its inner portion contacting with the interior casing 11. The rings or members 1 1 are of less diameter thanwthe members 13', and the outer casing 12 is corrugated. or ribbed, the
depressions of the corrugations fitting toe-- tween the supporting members 13. Inside of the inner casing and within the flexible supporting members 13 are rigid rib members 15 of metal; These .rib members are located one within each supporting member 13, and are secured in position in any suitable manner as by banding or gluing. Preferably they are semi-circular in cross section, thus presenting smooth surfaces to the hand, and forming with the inner casing 11 an interior free from sharp corners which might hurt the hand.
At one end of the main body 10 the inner casing 11 is bound down by strands 16 to the smaller flange of a stepped collar 17, the smaller flange constituting the lower step. This flange takes the place of an endmost rib 15. As in the case of the ribs 15, a flexible supporting member 13 is superposed upon the flange outside of the inner wall. The exterior wall is passed over the member 13 and is bound down to make a water tight joint in the groove in the upper 'step of the collar 17. On its end surface this collar is provided with screw threads 18 whereby the main body may be attached to a body structure. In the drawing, 19 represents a body structure, and it has bolted to it a flange 20 into which the end member 17 is screw-threaded. On its opposite end the main body has attached a branch member in the shape of a mitten. An end member 21 somewhat similar to the end member 17 is similarly attached to the inner wall 11. Instead of being attached directly to the end member 21 the outer casing 12 is bound down'over the flexible supporting member 13 above the binding strands 22.
Theouter end of the member 21 has formed in it a socket 23 for receiving the end 24 of the rigid palm portion 25 of the mitten. formed a race-way 26 accommodating balls 27 against which the 'end 24 of the rigid palm bears. An interior groove 28 is also formed in the socket (see Fig. 4), and retaining screws 29 are threaded through the end 24 of the palm member and enter the groove. These screws hold the palm portion in the socket and at the same time permit relative rotative'movement of the palm portion and the main body of the device. A shoulder 30 on the palm portion bears against the outer end of member 21 and cooperates with the ball bearing at the bottom of the socket.
The palm portion 25 is preferably formed of metal and is made of such shape as to accommodate the palm of the hand. WVhile its end 24 is circular in order to properly fit within the socket 23 its opposite end 31 is irregular in shape and is provided with two openings 32 and 33, the one being circular to accommodate the thumb and the other being elliptical or oblong to accommodate the fingers. Flexible thumb and finger members 34 and 35 whose structure is essentially similar to that of the main body 10 of the device are secured to the openings 32 and 33 respectively. The inner water proof casing 11 of these members extends over At the foot of the socket 23. is
Likewise the opposite ends of the inner walls 11 are bound to end members 38 and 39, these end members of the thumb and finger portions being made in the form of caps (see Figs. 6 and 7), which close the ends of the members. The outer casing 12 instead of being separately bound at each end for each of the thumb and finger portions of the mitten, is in the form of a glove which covers the entire mitten portion of the device, being bound down to the supporting member 13 adjacent the end member 21 along wit-h the outer casing 12 of the main body 10, the ends of the two outer casings being overlapped as clearly shown in Fig. 1. Adjacent the joint, the mitten is formed with a number of folds 40 which make it loose at this point and enable the mitten port-ion to be turned without-binding. While I have formed the outer casing 12 of the mitten portion of my device in the shape of a glove as described, I may of course form each portion of the outer casing separately as in the case of the main body 10. I j
Constructed as described, my flexible arm and mitten is complete and when attached as shown in Fig. 1 to a body structure for submarine use may be used with facility. It normally occupies the position shown, the weight of the device having been made equal to the weight of the water displaced by it. This being the case there is no tendency forit to .move up or down, and it may be moved with minimum efl'ort to any position desired. The particular structure of the flexible members greatly increases the flexibility of the device as compared with devices heretofore in use, while at the same timeit is very strong, being capable of resisting very high pressures. In addition to enhancing the flexibility, the'ribbing of the outer caslng 12 enables it to be most readily accommodated and supported against external pressure by the members 13 and 14, the casing 12 fitting close to their outer peripheries. The members 13 being flexible and elastic permit relative movement between the members 14, while they themselves are supported against external pressure by the interior ribs 15. The provision of two water proof casings gives double the security against leaking.
