NON-SINKABLE SHIP.
APPLICATION FILED .NOV. 10, 1917.
t di d EN? NON-SINKABLE SHIP.
Application filed November 10, 1917.
T 0 all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, Josnrrt Jannonn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Yuba, in the county of Richland and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in l on-Sinkable Ships and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of ships and to provide a simple, practical and comparatively inexpensive ship of strong and durable construction which, in event of being torpedoed or overturned, will not sink and which, after being overturned, will enable the water to be readily run off so that the ship may be used again.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction and novel combination of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims hereto appended; itbeing understood that various changes in the form, proportion, size and minor details of construction, within the scope of the claims, may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a non sinkable ship constructed in accordance with this invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan view broken away at different points to show the arrangement of the boards of the layers or sections of the hull or body of the ship.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional View of the ship.
Fig. 4L is a transverse sectional view of the same.
F ig. 5 is a similar view showing another form of outer skin or hull covering.
Like numerals of reference designate cor responding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
In the accompanying drawings, in which is illusurated the preferred embodiment of the invention, the hull which is constructed of solid floatable material. is made up of a bottom section or layer composed of long 3itudinally disposed boards 1 tapered in thickness and having their lower faces 2 beveled Specification of Letters Patent.
Eatonted Feb. 15, 1W2
Serial No. 201,291.
to conform to the configuration of the bottom of the hull which may vary as will be readily understood. T he end 3 of the boards of the bottom layer or ection extend longitudinally of the hull and their ends d are beveled or tapered to form the taper at the ends of the hull.
:irrang'ed upon the bot-tom section of the hull is a lower horizontal layer of trans versely disposed boards a having beveled ends 5 which are located at the sides of the hull and which conform to the contour of the same. A plurality of intermediate layers of diagonally arranged boards 6 and 6 form the intermediate portion of the hull and have their ends '7 and 7 beveled to conform to the configuration of the side portions of the same. These intermediate diagonally disposed boards may be of any desired number of layers as the ship may be made of any desired dimensions and the invention is applicable to small boats as well as large ships. As shown in the drawings, the boards are not grooved or channeled but are imperforate throughout their entire length, breadth and thickness.
The hull is completed by a top or deck layer of longitudinally disposed boards 8 having;- their ends 9 tapered or beveled, as shown, to form the tapered bow and stern portions of the hull. The boards are connected and secured together by means of suitable fastening: devices 9 which may consist of wooden pins or metal bolts and they can extend through two or more boards or through the entire hull to bind the boards firmly together. The hull is preferably provided with an outer skin or covering which may, as illustrated in Figs. 1 to 4: inclusive, consist of boards but which may also, as illustrated in Fi 5 of the drawings, be constructed of sheet metal 14-. In practice the boards will be painted to exclude the water from the pores of the material and the sheet metal will be galvanized or otherwise coated to render it rust-proof.
The hull is designed to be provided with sides 11 havingr'openings 12- for doors 13 which preferably open outwardly to enable water to be readily drained from the ship in event of the same being overturned. Instead of constructing the hull entirely of wood it may be made of other light buoyant material and it will be apparent that it will be impossible to sink the ship even should 'the same be overturned or torpedoed or otherwlse in ured such as contact with float- 7 ing mines, sunken rocks and the like.
The ship is designed to be equipped with a suitable engine 15 for operating propelling means (not shown).
W hat is claimed is:
1. A non-sinkable ship comprising, a hull, a layer of longitudinally disposed boards in the bottom of said hull, a layer of boards arranged upon said longitudinal boards and extending at right angles thereto, a plurality of layers of diagonally disposed boards extending at right angles to the boards of the adjacent layers, and a top layer of boards extending longitudinally of the hull. V
2. A non-sinkable ship comprising, ahull, a layer of longitudinally disposed boards in the bottom of the hull, a layer of boards arranged upon said longitudinal boards and extending at right angles thereto, a plu rality of layers of diagonally disposed boards extending at right angles to the boards of the adjacent layers, a top layer of boards extending longitudinally of the hull, and fastening devices extending through the several layers for securing the same together;
3. A non-sinkable ship comprising a hull, a bottom layer of boards extending longitudinally of the hull, a layer of boards 'ar anged upon said longitudinal boards and extending transversely of the hull, a layer of boards arranged upon the transverse boards and extending diagonally of the hull, a layer of boards arranged upon the diagonal boards and extending transversely of the hall in a direction reverse to the direction of the extension of the first named'diagonal boards, a top layer of boards arranged upon the last named diagonal boards and extending longitudinally of the hull; all of said boards being imperforate throughout and closely engaging each other, and means passing through the several layers for connecting them together.
In testimony whereof Iaflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
