' SHIP.

Specification of Letters Patent. PatntedJune 24 1913 I Application filed A ri1'24. 1911. Serial No. 623,001.;

Toallio homz't mag concern: Be it known that we, JOHN Ram, a sublect of the .King "of Great Britain, and

Gtponcn SIMPSON, a citizen of the United. 5 States of America, both residents of Whitehallv Building, 17 Battery Place, in the'city ofNew York, State of New York, United States of America, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ships; and we 'ido -ehe'reby declare that the following is ful;l,.f clear, and exact description of the tfention relates to improvements in ship s'fdescribed in the present specificadrawings that form part of the same.

The invention consists essentially in the novel construction and formation, whereby ballast tanks are disposed in a certain man ner and whereby the wall of the ship and the framing is arranged with great powers of resistance to the elements.

The objects of the invention are to devise a very strong construction of hull, particularly for ships carrying cargo in bulk, to dispose the weight evenly and to resist the forces of tension and compression brought into play by the -turbulence of the elements, and generally to provide a ship of compara- .1 tively cheap and very durable construction. In the drawings, Figure 1 is a transverse section of one half the ship, showing the construction of the framing in the top side wingballast tank, the bottom ballast tank, and a section view therebetween of the transverse framing supporting the side wall under said top side tank and inclosing a buoyancy space. Fig. 2 is a section of the modified form of the framing in said buoyancy space. ig. 3 is atran'sverse section, showing a modified form of the framing. Fig. 4 is a detail of another form. of framing between the top side tank and the bottom framing.

' Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts-in'each figure. 0

Referring to the drawings, in the top

side wing tank

27, 28 are channel beams rigidly secured to the walls of-the tank 27 on all 15 sides and extending fore and aft of the ship.

5.5 able angle pieces to the division plating 32 tion' and illustrated in the accompanying between the top side tank 27 and the buoyancy space 33.

34 are brackets rigidly secured by suitable angle pieces tothe inner bottom 35, dividing the bottom tank 30 from the buoyancy space 33, said

brackets

31 and 34 being. secured to the walls36 and 37 by. the

vertical angle pieces

38 and 39.

. 40 are braces rigidly secured to the

brackets

41 and 42, said brackets being secured to the

angle pieces

38 and 39.

In Fig. 2 a slight variation is shown'in this buttress framing, in which the

brackets

41 and 42 are further connected by the

rods

43 and 44, said rods being rigidly secured to said

brackets

41 and 42, otherwise the construction of Fig. 2 is substantially the same asin Fig.1. W

r In Figs. 3 and 4, the vertical frames 45 are shown joined to the top side tank 46 by the bracket 47 and to the bottom tank 48 by the bracket 49. 50 are fore and aft girder members within the top side tank 46. 51 are transverse trainings arranged atintervals within said top side tank '46 and joined to the fore and aft girders 50. 52 are fore and aft girders secured over" the vertical frames 45. 53 are longitudinal girders'secured to the inner plating 54 of the tank 48. 55 are fore and aft girders secured to the bottom plating of the ship within the tank' 48. 56 are transverse plates supporting the inner bottom 54, said plates having the customary holes 57 therethrough.

In Fig. 4, 58 are vertical frames standing out from the side wall of ,the ship between the top side tank 46 and the bottom tank 48 with the brackets 49 forming an open framing between the said top side tank and the said bottom tank. 60 arefore and aft girders secured to the side walls of the ship and to the brackets 59. This'framing is only a slight modification of the framing shown in Fig. 3 and corresponds to the transverse framing within the top side tank 46. 7

That we claim as our invention is:

In a device of the class described, in com--' bination, atop side ballast tank having a main framing therewithin formed of fore and aft channel irons, a bottom ballast tank having a main framing therewithin, formed of fore and aft channel irons, and buttress framing extending from said bottom ballast tank to said top side ballast tank and formilig reinforcing pillar frames at intervals I of Quebec, Canada, this second day of througl'ientthelength of the ship between I March, 1911. saidtanks, said buttresses being formed of vertical channel irons extending between. 2%MPQON 5 brackets c nnected to said ballast tanks by I b J L angle irons and braces crossing between the I Witnesses:

verticals intermediate of the length thereof. P. SHEE,
