WILSON VOGEL, OF KILLISNOO, TERRITORY OF ALASKA.
SUNKEIT-VESSEL MARKER.
Application filed September 5, 1917.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILSON Voonn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Killisnoo, Territory of Alaska, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sunken- Vessel Markers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to markers adapted to be used for marking the spot at which a vessel sinks and it consists in the novel features hereinafter described and claimed.
An object of the invention is to provide a marker of the character stated which is of simple and durable structure and which may be connected with the deck or other part of the vessel and which is provided with means which will float, the said means being connected by a line with the deck or other part of the vessel.
In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of the vessel marker; 7
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same with parts in section:
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary bottom view of the same.
The sunken vessel marker comprises acasing 1 which may be of wood or any other suitable material. A can buoy 2 is connected with the upper end of the casing 1 by means of straps or bands 3. The casing l is provided at its lower end with an opening 1. A coil of rope 5 is normally housed within the casing 1 and an end portion of the end of rope passes through the opening 4; and the end of the rope may be attached to the deck of a vessel or other parts thereof. Under normal conditions the casing 1 and the can buoy 2 rests upon the top of the deck.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 12, 1918.
Serial No. 189,852.
The end of the rope 5 opposite that end portion which passes through the opening 4 is connected with a band 6 which surrounds the can buoy 2 at a point between the ends thereof and at a point between the straps 3 which secure the said rope to the casing. A strip 7 is carried at the top side of the buoy E2 and may bear the name of the vessel to which the appliance is connected.
It is obvious that in the event that the vessel to which the device is applied should sink the can buoy 2 will float in the water and as the vessel descends the rope will pay out from the coil 5 and the said buoy and the casing 1 will remain at or in the vicinity of the surface of the water. In view of the fact that the strip 7 is carried at the top side of the buoy it will be visible above the surface of the water and hence the position of the vessel is located. By employing such a device considerable time and expense is saved by establishing the location of the vessel in view of the fact that it is not necessary to drag or survey a locality in order to establish the position or spot at which the vessel may lie upon the bottom of the sea.
Having described the invention what is claimed is:
A sunken vessel marker comprising a easing, straps attached thereto, a buoy secured to the casing by the straps, a sign supported by the straps at the opposite side of the buoy from the casing, a coil of rope housed within the casing and connected at one end with the buoy and having an opposite end portion which passes through the casing and which is adapted to be connected with a vessel.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
WILSON VOGEL.
