LIFE-BOAT OUTRIGGER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 9, 1914.
Application filed March 26, 1914. Serial No. 827,351.
To all 1.0720111 it may concern Be it known that 1, JOHN JUSZCZAR, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Life-Boat Outriggers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in life boat outriggers.
The primary object of this invention is to provide an outrigger float for a life boatpositionable in plurality, resiliently mounted overboard of the boat and along the opposite longitudinal sides thereof, and adapted for imparting stability and sea-worthiness to the life boat as well as positively insuring the same against sinking.
A further object is to provide a balance equalizer for a life boat consisting of separate hollow outrigger floats resiliently positioned upon the gunwale of the boat.
A still further object is the provision of a floating outrigger so mounted upon the boat as to allow a limited relative movement between the boat and the outrigger upon the rocking of the boat by the waves.
With these general objects in view and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings forming a part of this application and in which like designating characters refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views: Figure 1 is a top plan view of a life boat provided with four Outriggers of the present design. Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof showingone of the outriggers partially broken away. 1g. 3 is a transverse vertical sectional view taken through one side of a boat and an outrigger mounted thereon, and, Fig. 4 1s a longitudinal central sectional view taken through one of the Outriggers.
Referring more in detail to the drawings, the life boat is illustrated as having the opposite gunwales 11 thereof provided with vertically projecting posts 12 screw-threaded at the top thereof and each adapted to resiliently position an outrigger thereon by means of an arm 12' having a perforation therein and fitting over said post while helical springs 13 and 14 surround said post and position the arm therebetwecn, a turn nut 15 retaining the arm and its engaging springs in position upon the post.
lVhile the outrigger floats may be employed in any desired numbers, four of the same are herein illustrated and a detailed desrri tion of one thereof will suffice for each of the same which are identical. barrel is preferably formed of metal positions the wooden end disks 17 therein and forms the hollow space 18 therebetwcen for imparting buoyancy to the structure. Ter minal cork members 19 are positioned at the opposite ends of the float while a bolt 20 longitudinally positioned axially of the float through the cork ends and wooden disks retains the elements in position, a terminal turn nut 21 upon the end of the bolt acting as a tensioning and securing means for the structure. A plurality of rings or metal. hoops 22 surround the barrel and firmly position a central hoop 23 thm'ebetween while the hoop 23 is rigidly connected to the arm 12 by the vertical rod 24.
From this detailed description, the man nor of assembling the outrigger floats is be lieved to be apparent as well as the resilient positioning of one of the same upon each of the plurality of posts 12. The floats which are rigidly secured to the arms 12 and side brackets 25 upon the gunwale prevent any side motion thereof while the arms are free to move vertically cushioned by the springs 13 and 14.
With the life boat provided with the present floating outriggers, it will be seen that the rocking of the boat by the waves will be retarded by reason of the added buoyancy of the plurality of floats while the resilient spring connection for attaching the floats increases the serviceability of the craft over that which would be possible in a single rigid formation, while the capsizing or sinking of the boat is rendered substantially impossible.
While the forms of the invention herein shown and described are what are believed to be preferable embodiments thereof, it is nevertheless to be understood that various forms and modifications thereof may be had without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
lVhat I claim as new and desire to secure by'Letters Patent of the United States is 1. In combination with a life boat, a float ing outrigger, a hoop secured to said outrigger, an upright post mounted upon the within said barrel, cork end members posiboat, a projecting arm carried by said hoop and having a perforation for slid-ably receiving said post, springs encircling said post and positioned upon opposite sides of said arm, a tensioning turn nut screwthreaded upon the free end of said post, and spaced positioning brackets upon the gun- Wale of the boat upon opposite sides of said arm. 7
2. In combination with a life boat, a floating outrigger, a hoop secured to said outrigger, an upright post mounted upon the boat, a projecting arm carried by said hoop and having a perforation for slidably receiving said post, springs encircling said post and positioned upon opposite sides of said arm, a tensioning turn. nut screW-,
threaded upon the free end of said post, spaced positioning brackets upon the gunwale of the boat uponopposite sides of said arm, said outrigger comprising a central barrel positioned within said hoop, end disks tioned outwardly of said disks, a securing bolt extending axially of said cork members and disks, and hoops surrounding said barrel upon opposite sides and engaging said 7 mounting hoop thereon.
3. An outrigger for life boats comprising a tubular barrel, wooden disks positioned in the opposite ends of said barrel, cork heads outwardly secured to said disks, a securing bolt axially positioned through said disks and heads, a tensioning nut upon one end of said bolt, hoops enclrcllng said barrel,
and resilient mounting means attached to the central one of said hoops adapted for securing the float to the boat. 1
