To all whom it may concern:
Be it therefore known that I, DANIEL L. Caro, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wooster, in the county of \Vayne and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Buoys for Submarine Boats, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a signal buo'y especially designed for use in connection with submarine boats, and the invention relates particularly to the manner of securing the buoy in place upon the boat, releasing the same at the proper time, and utilizing the cable connecting the buoy and the boat for purposes of communication and also as a salvage line as will hereafter appear.
The object of the invention 'is to give informationconcerning any accident to a submarine vessel which prevents the same from rising to the surface, and also to provide suitable means whereby this signal device -rnay also be utilized in effecting a rescuei lViththesc objects in view the invention consists of the novel features .of construction hereinafter described, pointed out in the claims and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation illustrating the signal device in use. Fig. 2 is an enlarged side elevation showing the buoy locked to the upper surface of the boat, the boat and certain locking means being shown in section. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a buoy. Fig. 4: is a detail sectional view of the locking and unlocking means. F ig.'5 isa detail sectional view of a portion of said locking means, taken at right angles to Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is an enlarged sectional view of a portion of the buoy frame and reel, showing the manner in which the cable passes into and out of the reel.
In the drawings 1 represents a submarine boat, and 2 a buoy. The buoy is inclosed in a suitable frame 3 being held in one end portion of the frame, which is egg-shaped, and in the other portion of the frame is 1'0- tatably mounted a hollow reel 4. As shown in Fig. 6 the frame 3 is provided with a fixed hub portion 5 upon which the reel is journaled, the interior of the reel communicating with said hub, and a suitable guard 6 is carriedby the bracket and acts as a. shield for said hub. With the exception of the shield this construction can be duplicated at the opposite end, or the reel can be otherwise 'journaled in the bracket. A suitable cable 7 is adapted to wind upon the reel and a portion of said cable passes through a suitable opening 8 into the reel and out through the stationary hub 5, from whence it is carried up the side of the buoy and into and through a suitable mast 9 carried by the apex portion of the buoy, and said mast carries a signal flag 10 and an electric light 11. The cable 7 has embodied in it suitable electric light wires 12 which run to the lamp l1, and the inner ends of which are of course in circuit with the storage batteries or dynamo of the submarine boat. A telephone wire is also preferably included among the wires carried by the cable 7 In order that the buoy may be securely fastened to the outside of the submarine, and at the same time be out of the way and also rcadily releasable from the interior I depress a portion of the upper surface of the submarine as shown at 13, thereby forming,
a suitable cradle in which the buoy will lie in a longitudinal or horizontal position. I also provide in the bottom of this cradle two recesses 14 produced by bending the top of the submarine inwardly thereby forming U-shaped pockets in the cradle. The vertical walls of these pockets are of course within the interior of the submarine. One end of the bracket 3, that which would be termed the bottom end, or the end having the reel carries an angled bau15 which extends into one of the pockets, and which is.
slotted as shown at 16. A U-shaped strap 17 is adapted to pass over the mast 9 of the buoy and its free ends extend into the other pocket and are slotted as shown at 18. Locking rods 19 work through suitable stufiing boxes 20 into and transversely through said pockets, and pass respectively through the slots of the bar 15, and the strap 17, thereby locking the buoy in its cradle. By withdrawing these rods the buoy will be released and will float upwardly out of the cradle, the cable 7 unwinding as the buoy rises. Those rods might be withdrawn individually but. I prefer to pivotally connect them bymeans of links 21 with a common operating rod 22, which rod passes through an operating lever 23 pivotally hung in the up per wall of the submarine. By swinging said lever rearwardly and upwardly both rods 19 will be drawn out of the pockets at
