COLLISION MAT AND TORPEDO-DEFLECTIN G DEVICE. I
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 28, 1922.
Application filed September 15, 1921. Serial No. 500,794.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMasMoMILmN, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Piedmont, in the county of Mineral and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Collision Mats and Torpedo-Deflecting Devices, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
y invention relates to means for protect ing ships of all types from torpedoes or ropped from air-craft, and has for or lowered and stored away as occasion requires.
A further object of the invention is to providev a torpedo deflector which is formed of a plurality of modified collision or battle mats which when not in use as a bomb protector may be employed in the usual manner to stop leaks, etc.
vide. extensible means for supporting the torpedo deflector so that the latter will make a very small angle with the vertical and thereby easily deflect falling objects into the water, and also due to its sharp inclination will not affect the firing pin of the bomb or other projectile.
Another object of the invention Is the protection of ships from liquid fire and the like, and to this end the collision mats are coated on one side with a non-inflammable substance. 7
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a ship wlth Figure 2 is a plan view thereof with a portion of the deflector cut away to more clearly show details.
Figure 3 is an enlarged end view of a por-' tion of a ship showing the deflector 1n position.
Figures 4 and 5 are a side view and plan r tively, of one of the mats, and
igure 6 is a detail view showing form of means for connecting the mats.
Referring to the drawing more in detail,
Another object of the invention is to probooms 14,
one
the numeral 1 designates a ship to which my novel deflector, indicated generally by the numeral 2, is attached. The deflector 2 is made up of a which are of the usual type exce t that each mat has woven therein a plura ity of steel cables 4 and is coated on one'side with a noninflammable substance. In forming the deflector these mats are connected together by means of links 5 secured to the cables 4, and may be connected at their side edges in any suitable manner.
In order to properly deflect the aerial torpedoes it is necessary that the shield or deflector 2 be set at a very sharp angle with the vertical and I have accordingl provlded a plurality of relatively long te escop mg masts 6 to which is attached the usual cable 7 On the cable 7 are supported a plurallty of pulley blocks 8 through which extend the halyards 9 for raising and lowering the deflector.
On the standards 10 positioned around the dec of the ship are mounted the rollers 11. Over these rollers extend the cables 12 secured to the lower edge of the deflector 2 and anchored to the sides of the ship as shown at 13.
To aid in supporting the deflector the pivotally supported at the lower end of the masts, are secured to the deflector at proper intervals.
The deflector is provided with openings 15 through which the telescoping stacks 16 may extend in order to carry off the smoke, etc. The deflector is preferably provided with an asbestos covering exten ing around these openings in order to prevent damage by-fire.
In accordance with have described what I now believeto be the best embodiment of the invention, but I do not wish'to be understood thereby as limiting myself or the scope of the invention, as many changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, all such I aim to include in the scope of the. appended claims.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. The combination with aship of telesoopic stacks and telescopic masts therefor,
number of collision mats 3.
the patent statutes I a torpedo deflector, means for securing one edge of the deflector to the sides of the ship,
the opposite edge of the deflector secured to the telescoping masts, and being 5 provided with notches to receive the telescoping stacks.
2. A torpedo deflector comprlsin'g a plurality of mats, cables woven in said mats,
