SUBMARINE FLOATING BODY.
APFLtCATION FILED AUG. I4. 1916.
Patented Dec. 28, 1920.
The said mechanism consists of a cylinder 4 containing a piston 5, which by a bell crank lever 6 and a link 7 is connected with 1a diaphragm 8 or the like exposed, at the outerside, to the water pressure.
Opening into the cylinder 4 behind the piston is a piping 9 for a suitable pressure medium, as for instance a liquid'contained in a receptacle 10 and acted upon by the pressure of a gas adapted to be supplied from without by a pump or from a compressed gas receiver before launching the floating body, or to be supplied from a com pressed gas receiver located in the floating body. Serving as a member controlling the supply of pressure medium to the cylinder 4 is a slide valve 11 movable in a valve chest, or a three-way cockor the like controlled'by the hydrostat 2 12 denotes a piping leading from the liquid receptacle 10 to the slide valve, and 13 denotes a discharge piping adapted to discharge liquid from the cylinder 4 into the interior of the floating body or, if desired, into a separate container. The slide valve 11 is also con trolled indirectly by the piston 5, which is connected with a rod or a frame 14: forming a support for the inner'end of the spring 3. On account thereof the tension of the spring depends on the positionof the piston 5, and
a change of said position without a corresponding change of the outer water pressure wlll cause a movement of the slide valve 11 from operative to inoperative posi-' tion, in which latter the valve channel 15 Fig. 2, occupies a middle position between V the ports devised in the valve chest for the pipings 12 and 13. V The device described operates as follows, it being supposed that the floating body from the beginning is in equilibrium at a certain depth of submersion. The cylinder 4 is in part filled with liquid and keeps the diaphragm 8 in such a projecting position, that the specific weight of the floating body corresponds exactly to the specific weight of the surrounding water. The diaphragm 2 occupies a middle position and-the slide valve is in inoperative position, as in Figs.
1 and 2. If the body now be moved down-' ward by any outer force, the water pressure acting upon the diaphragm 2 increases, so that said diaphragm, on moving inward, moves the slide valve 11 to the right, thus opening a connection from the receptacle 10 through the piping 12, the channel 15 and the piping 9 to the cylinder 4. Owing thereto, the piston 5 is moved farther outward and forces the diaphragm 8. still more outward, so that the specific weight of the floating body decreases 'At the same time the piston 5 acts through the frame 14 upon the spring 3, thus increasing its tension,
and, on account thereof, the said spring tends to move the diaphragm 2 back to the cific weight takes place.
middle position and at the same time to move the slide valve to inoperative position. If the above-named movement of the floating body be effected with not too great a rapidity, the decrease of the specific weight takes place continuously in a certain ratio to the change of the depth of submersion, because the slide valve 11, owing to the cooperation of the diaphragm 2 and the piston 5, is kept in a position in which the valve channel is slightly opened, while the piston 5 tends continuously to interrupt entirely the connection between the receptacle l0 and the cylinder 4 through the said channel, whereas the hydrostat, according as the outer water pressure acting uponthe same increases, tends to open said connection. The more the floating body is moved downward by the outer force. the more its specific weight decreases and the more it opposes the movement within the given possible limits of control. In a similar manner the specific vweight increases successively during an upward movement caused by an outer force, the diaphragm being forced outward by the spring 3 owing to the decrease of the outer water pressure and at the same time moving the slide valve to the left, thus connecting thefcylinder' with the discharge piping13,through the valve channel 15. The outer water pressure acting upon the diaphragm 8 forces simultaneouslythe piston 5 backward, accordingly as the liquid dischargesthrough the valve channel 15 and the piping 13. .When moving back ward, the piston 5 decreases the tension of the springB and, owing thereto, tends to interrupt indirectly the connection between the cylinder 4 and the discharge piping, since the water pressure, on the decrease of the tension of the spring 3, is anew capable of moving the diaphra 2 and the slide valve' 11 back to their middle positions. As will appear from the aforesaid, the floating body, when in equilibrium, opposes any movement caused by an outer force in vertical direction with a force in= equilibrium, the movement being eifectively retarded by the Water resistance. At the same time a continuous change of the spe- If in this case the floatmg body, when reaching the position of equilibrium, still possesses a cer tain inertia, it proceeds beyond said position. but the change of the specific weight goes on continuously, so that the movement is counteracted also on account thereof, When the body then returns, the slide 1 i' ilimite'd to the v u necessa yf n ans:

ing body returns to the original position of equilibrium immediately or after a few oscillations with decreasing amplitude, as soon as the cause ceases. 'If, on the other hand, the cause was continuously acting, as for instance in case of a change of the specific weight of the surrounding water, the floating body remains in equilibrium in the new position, as was the case with the mechanically controlled floating body described above with reference to Fig. 1.
Thefloating body shown in Fig. 5 differs from that shown in Fig. 3 only in'that the pressure acting upon the liquid contained in the receptacle 10 is eflfected by means of a piston 33 actuated by a spring motor 32 instead of by a compressed gas. The spring motor 32 which may be wound up by means of a crank placed on the pin 34 is by suitable means connected with a nut in the form of a toothed whee-l, said nut be ing screwed onto the threaded rod 36jof the piston 33 thus servingto move the piston forward, according as the liquid under pressure is consumed. The construction and manner of operation of the controlling mechanism proper are similar to those of the embodiment shown in Fig. 3.
The invention is not limited to the constructional details shown in the drawings, but may be varied in many different manners. Thus for instance for the diaphragm 8 effecting the changes of the specific weight of the floating body may be substituted a piston or a receptacle connected with the outer water or any other suitable device. For the slide valve shown in Fig. 1 may be substituted a. three-way cock, and forthe same valves shown in Figs. 3 and 5 may be substituted two valves placed one above the other or a three-way cock having a pivotally mounted casing, the hydrostat actuating in the two latter cases the one member for opening the connection to or from the working piston, while the other member is actuated by the device changing the specific weight and serves to interrupt the connection. Though aliquid under pressure is very suitable as a power transmitting means in the embodiments shown in Figs. 1 and 3, owing to the facility of controlling the current of a liquid and its incompressibility, nothing prevents, however, principally the direct use, in a subfloating body according to the invention, of compressed gas as a driving medium for eiiect ing the necessary changes of the specific weight, as isthe case with some types of oscillating subfloating bodies.
Having now described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
