v Specification of Letters Patent. Patented June 22, 915 I Application filed July 25, 191a. fielr kal 'No. 853,169.
T all will am it may concern Be it known that I, HANS ,GHRISTIAN JoncnNsnN, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and resident of Montreal, Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Floats; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear and exact description of the 7 same.
'10 This ,invention relates to floats which are carried by vessels for the preservation of life in the event of the sinking of the vessel or other emergency and an object is to pro 7 vide a simply constructed float which occupies but a small space and can be conveniently stored upon the decks of the vessel.
Another object is to so construct the float that a number of the same can be readily and quickly secured together to'form a large ZOITfloa-t of raft.
For full comprehension, however, of my invention reference should be had to the ac companying drawing forming apart of this ,.specification in which similar reference 5 characters indicate the same parts and wherein:
Figure l is a plan view, partly in section, of a raft composed of a number of my improved floats; Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof, partly in section; Figs. 3 and 4: are.
respectively enlarged side and plan views of portions of adjacent floats and illustratparticularly the connection between same; and Fig. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of one of my improved floats.
" Referring now to the drawings, my irn proved float consists of a hollow, air-tight member 2 preferably formed of metal and braced by exterior bands 3 which extend about the member from side to side thereof and cross atright angles to each other at about the middle of the float, at which point such bands are secured together and to the float by a bolt 4.- and nut 5, the bolt extending through both bands and from top to bottom of the member, the portion of the bolt passing through the interior of the float being inclosed by a sleeve 6 which constitutes a distance piece, the ends of which respectively bear against the top and bottom interior surfaces of the member 2. A rail 7 preferably formed of pipe, is located around the sides of the float preferably midway be tween the top and bottom levels of the latter, the rail being supported by brackets 8 which are riveted or otherwise suitably fastened upon the bands Thebrackets extend some. distance out from the sides of grasped by a person in the water. The float is flat as shown particularly in Fig. 5 and consequently a large number can, without inconvenience, be stored against the rails of a vessel in readiness to be thrown overboard or floated off.
For convenience in use and conveyance from place to place, the floats are preferably of small size but to enable a float of large size to be formed when desired I have pro vided means for connecting any number of my improved floats together. These means. consist preferably of eyes 9 secured to and extending outwardly from each side portion of the rails 7 of the floats, the position of the eyes of each float preferably being such that when two floats are brought into substantialalinement the-eyes of one float will register with those of the other.
When the composite float is being formed the several small floats are brought side to side (Fig. 1) and the eyes upon the adjag cent sides of each unit are brought into register with those of another unit andv coupled by means of headed pins 10.
Each of the pins 10 are transversely bored "and adapted to have a cotter 11 passed therethrough to secure them against acoidental displacement while to avoid loss of the pins and cotters and to constantly maintain them ready to hand they are secured to the float or rail by flexible lengths 12. What I claim is as follows i 1. A float consisting of a hollow air-tigh member, bands extending about the exterior of the member and crossing each othe at the middle of'the latter, a bolt passing through the crossed bands and extend ng from top to bottom of the hollow member,
a sleeve inclosing the bolt and hearing at its ends respectii'el y against the top and bottom interior surfaces of such member, sup- 11G ports secured to the exterior sides of the hollow member, a rail carried by such supports and spaced from the sides of the member.
' 2. A float consisting of a plurality of hollow, air-tight members, rails secured to and. spaced from all the sides of the members,
eyes secured to and extending rigidly from said rails, the eyes of each hollow member 10 registering With the eyes of another hollow HANS cumsrmr Jonemsm Witnesses:
