UNITED s'r'ra CHARLES A. WARD, OF MOUNT VERNON, NEW YORK.
BOAT AND METHOD 0F IIIAKING THE SAIVIE.
Application filed August 3, 1922. Serial No. 579,326.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLE-s A. WARD, acitizen of the United States, residing at Mount Vernon, New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boats and Methods of Making the Same, of which the following is a clear, full, and exact description. 1
.This invention relates'to boat construction and particularly to the construction of boats of the small pleasure cruiser type and a general object of the invention is to facilitate the standardized manufacture of such boats.
.A particular obgect of the invention is so to arrange the essential parts of the boat that they can be forthe most part formed before assembling and that the building of temporary framework over which to shape the hull of the boat can substantially be dispensed with.
Other objects and important features of the invention will appear from the following description and claims when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a side elevation partly in vertical section, of a boat embodying the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a section onthe line 22 of Fig. 1 looking toward the stern of the boat;
Fig. 3 is a plan View showing the keel and the pre-formed bulkheads and stern in assembled position;
Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7 8 and 9 are respectively broken elevations of the successive bulkheads from the bow toward the stern; and
Fig. 10 is an elevation of the stern part of the hull.
In the design of the boat which is the subject matter of the present invention the bulkheads 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12, Fig. 3, are so constructed and so located upon the keel 14 of the boat that when positioned on said keel they provide a suitable framework over which to shape the clamp strip 16 and also the battens (not shown) to which the ribs 18 are bent." By thus designing and locating these bulkheads, it is possible to build the bulkheads to finished dimensions and substantially complete before assembling them upon the keel thereby not only facilitating the manufacture of the bulk heads, but facilitating the assembling of the hull of the boat since the bulkheads take the place of the former temporary frame construction employed for shaping the hull of the boat.
From an examination of the elevations of the bulkheads it will be noted that each is provided before assemblingwith a notch 20 for the clamp strip 16 to which the ribs 18 are bentand from an inspection of Fig. 3 of the drawings it will benoted that each of the bulkheads is provided at its side edges with the proper bevel for that part of the covering of the boat which is to be supported in part by the bulkheads whereby these bulkheads maytake the place of ribs at the points in the hull where they are located, thus further facilitating the construction of the hull and lessening the number of ribs otherwise required;
The particular uses to which the compartments provided in the boat by location of the bulkheads are put may, of course, vary 1 but in the illustrated hull'it will be seen that the space between the bulkheads 6 and 8 can conveniently be used as the cabin of the boat and therefore covered with the deck 22 and provided with a hatch 24 to permit 26 between the bulkheads 8 and 10 can conveniently be utilized for the motor to drive the boat, the fuel for the motor being prefen ably kept in a tank located between thebulkheads 10 and 12.
Between the bulkheads 4 and 6 may be located a galley. The toilet may be between the bulkheads 2 and 4, and the water tank may be between 7 and 2.
The stern of the boat 28 which, like the bulkheads, is also formed complete before assembling, has in addition to the notches 20 for the clamp strip a notch 30 to fit over the keel. The bulkheads 2, 1, 6 and 8 in addition to the notches 20 are provided with notches 32 for the stringer 3a to carry the deck beams.
The hull of the boat may be covered with any suitable planking 36.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that by the novel design of the hull herein shown and described and by the novel process of building the hull, the construction of standardized hulls of a strong and durable design is greatly facilitated.
What I claim as new is i 1. The method of building a boat of the class described, which consists in building to give the proper curvature and support to the clamp strips and battens, locating said bulkheads in their proper permanent positions upon the keel, bending the ribs into position, and then covering the permanent frame thus produced.
2. A boat comprising a keel, permanent bulkheads formed to finished dimensions before assembling and located on said keel in proper position to serve as supports for the clamp strips and battens in shaping the .hull of the boat, ribs between. said bulkheads, said bulkheads at the places Where located taking the place of ribs, and a cov- .ering for the frame thus constructed.
3. A boat comprising a keel, permanent bulkheads located upon said keel in such position as to tend to give the proper shape to the hull of the boat. independently of other reinforcement thereof, ribs between said bulkheads, and a covering for the frame thus constructed.
4. A boat comprising a keel, permanent bulkheads formed to finished dimensions before assembling, notched to receive the keel and to receive clamp strips and so located ported by said clamp strips and said keel,
and a covering for the frame thus constructed.
5. A boat of the class described, comprising a keel, permanent bulkheads formed to finished dimensions before assembling and v spaced on said keel in properposition to shape the hull independentlyofother reinforcement thereof, said bulkheadsbeing also so separatedasflto ,form in thelboiw ofthe boat aspace fora Water tank, injthe center of the boat acabin, andbetweensaid cabin and the stern a motor compartment and a. fuel compartment and between-said cabin and the how, a compartment suitable for a galley.
