BERNHARDT A. BECKER, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
NON-CAPSIZABLE BOAT.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Bnnnnann'r A. BECKER, a citizen of the United States, residing atthe city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Non- Gapsizable Boat, of which the following is a clear, full, and exact description, refer ones being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification.
My invention relates to non-capsizable boats and has for its principal objects, a series of stationary air chambers running longitudinally almost the entire length of the boat, also a secondary air chamber, running almost the entire length of the boat, and arranged to swing on hinges fastened to the gunwale and said air chamber, with a spring stop to regulate the amount of swing. Both sets of air chambers are used on bot-h sides of the boat as illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure I is a vertical section through the boat, looking toward the bow. Fig. 11 is a side elevation, shown broken in the middle.
Similar numbers refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
1 represents the gunwale of the boat, 4; the heel, and 8 the rudder.
7 represents the hinged air chambers with hinges 5, spring stop 6, and air space 2. 3 is one of the series of stationary air chambers, running the entire length of the boat.
In event that a capsizing action occurs with this boat, it is first counteracted by the buoyancy of the stationary air chambers 3. Then if the same side of the boat is still further depressed in the water, the capsiz- Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed May 1, 191a.
Patented Apr. 7, 1914. Serial No. 764,812.
iug action is counteracted by the buoyancy of the hinged air chambers 7, which immediately swing out to the limiting position of the spring stop 6. This movement of the swinging chambers so increases the radius of buoyancy, that it renders the boat practically impossible to capsize. The spring step has a tendency to moderate sudden stop, when the swinging chambers open out. I have shown here one of the several kinds of stops that I could use to advantage. The swinging air chambers might also be made with separate compartments so that if one of the compartments are punctured, it will do but little harm. It might also be of advantage to make the swinging air chambers in halves, so that if the load in the boat was in the rear part, it would only be necessary for the rear half to swing out, and still perform the desired function. A great advantage of this type of chambered boat is the possibility of so arranging these chambers as to conform with the outside line of the boat, and not destroy its beauty. This is clearly shown in Fig. I.
I claim:
In a. noncapsizable boat, the combination of a hinged air chamber arranged to swing on hinges fastened to the gunwales and chamber, with a spring stop, said stop to be fastened to said air chambers and fixing the limit of the swing of said hinged air chambers.
