Description
M. HYSZKA.
SHIP SALVAGE DEVICE. APPLICATION FILED NOV-13,1919.
1,337,601 P Patented Apr. 20, 1920 INVENTOR Mary Hyszka 2' 6 ftd ATTORNEY.
UNITED STATES MATY I-IYSZKA, OF MIYRTLE POINT, BRITISH COLUI'TBIA, CANADA.
SHIP-SALVAGE DEVICE.
Application filed November 13, 1919.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MATY HYSZKA, a citizen of Ukrainia, residing at Myrtle .Point, Province of British Columbia, and Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ship-Salvage Devices, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in ship salvage devices, particularly devices with which magnetic anchors are used to raise a sunken vessel.
It is the object of the invention to provide a device of this character in which the flukes comprise magnets adapted to be energized from a suitable source of energy on a salvage vessel in order to engage the metal parts of a ship.
Other objects will in part be obvious and in part pointed out hereinafter.
The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combination of elements and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the following claims.
In the accompanying drawings there is shown an illustrative embodiment of the invention in which the reference numerals refer to similar parts in the several figures.
Figure 1 illustrates the operation of a ship salvage device according to the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a detail view of an anchor, parts being broken away to illustrate its interior construction.
10 indicates the sunken, and 11 the salvage vessel. The latter is provided with a suitable deck house 12 for the storing of an electric source, the anchor cables, and similar paraphernalia of salvage and with winches 18 and guides 14 for a cable or chain 15.
The lower end of said cable 15 is secured to the ring 16 of an anchor generally designated 17 having a shank 18, and a plurality of arms 19 carrying at their outer ends the flukes 20.
These flukes as well as the arms, and the Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 20, 1920.
Serial No. 337,799.
shank are hollow for a purpose hereinafter to be more fully described.
The flukes 20 are formed with inner shoulders 21 having in their center a screw threaded socket 22 for the reception of the lower screw threaded end of a magnet shank 23 provided at its other end with a triangular grappling hook 24, adapted to rest with its base upon the outer edge of the hollow fluke 20. Wire coils 25 surround the shank 23 of the magnet and are connected by means of the usual lead wires 26 guided through the hollow arms of the shank 18, leaving the same at 27, and through a cable 28, with a source of power located in the deck house 12.
In operation, when the location of a sunken ship has been established, the anchor is released from the salvage vessel and the current turned on energizing the magnetic fluke which will be attracted by the steelor metal parts of the vessel and will hook underneath projecting parts of a vessel in addition to the action of the magnets.
When now the chains are hauled in, the vessel can be raised. Nith larger vessels a plurality of anchors may be used for the same purpose.
Changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently widely different embodiments of the invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof as it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. It is also to be understood that the language used in the following claims is intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described and all statements of the scope of the invention which as a matter of language might be said to fall therebetween.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A marine grapple having a hollow shank and hollow flukes, the hollows of the flukes ending in a screw threaded socket, a magnet section secured to the socket and a magnetizing coil around the section having ed grappling heads secured to the socket and leads passing through the fiukes and shank a magnetlzlng 0011 around the section hav- 10 and adapted for connection with an electrling leads passing through the flukes and cal supply source on a surface vessel. shank and adapted for connection With an 2. A marine grapple having a hollow electrical supply source on a surface vessel. shank and hollow flukes, the hollows of the In testimony whereof I have aflixed my flukes ending in a screw threaded socket, a signature. magnet section forming triangular or point- MATY HYSZKA.
