Description

J.FUCHS SHIP S CABIN Sept. 30
Filed June 5, 1922 Rid Patented Sept. 30, 1924.
UNITED SvTATES JOSE? FUCHS, OF SCHWYZ, SWITZERLAND.
SHIPS CABIN.
Application filed June 3,
To all whom it may concern.
it known that I, Josnr Fool-Is, a citizen of the Swiss Republic, residing at Schwyz, Switzerland, have invented certain improvements in Ships Cabins, of which the following is a specification.
It has been proposed to make ship cabins in the form of buoyant boat-shaped bodies adapted to be assembled on a deck so that they can be automatically detached from the ship in. case of its sudden sinking, the boat cabins being provided with means of propulsion and steering.
The present invention relates to an arrangement of this kind and consists in so shaping the boat cabins that, when placed stern to stern and side to side on the ships deck, the decks of the cabins combine into one continuous surface. This arrangement has the advantage that a minimum space will be occupied by the cabins and that their combined decks can be utilized as a single deck withoutthe employment of ad ditional floors wherewith to span intervening spaces, as in previously known arrangements. The corner spaces formed by the straight walls inside and at the top of the cabins are divided oft by curved part-itions and utilized as watertight bulk heads whereby the boat cabins are rendered unsinka-ble.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 represents a diagrammatic end view oi the ship showing the arrangement of the cabins,
Fig. 2, a cross-section of the cabins on a larger scale and taken. on the line AA. of
3, which is a side view of the cabin.
The cabins and berths for the passengers and for the crew of a ship a are made in the form of water-tight, boat-shaped, buoyant bodies 2) each titted with a keel d, with two propellers and with a rudder p. The propellers are adapted to be driven in any appropriate manner, and the rudder p is connected to a suitable gearing whereby it 1922. iterial No. 555,663.
can be operated from the interior of the boat. The floor 6 of each cabin is sup ported on beams f, a space being left between it and the bottom 0 of the boat for the reception of the machinery and for the storage of provisions and the like. The sides ot the boat are carried straight up to the deck Z5, and the corner space is divided by curved walls Z so as to form watertight bulk heads making the boat unsinkable. The boat is provided with portholes t' titted with, the usual hinged, tightly closing windows it. Entrance is effected through the deck, by a manhole which is provided with a hinged lid m by which a watertight closure can be efi'ected. Suit able stairs or ladders are provided whereby the occupants may enter and leave the cabins.
The cabin boats are arranged in juxtaposition, as shown in Fig. 2, on suitable supporting beams n on the deck of the ship. Two rows of cabins may be arranged, stern to stern, as shown in Fig. 1, space being provided for the rudders to be turned back between the propellers. The cabins are preferably fixed to the supporting beams by means of fastenings which can be easily released "from the interior of the cabins. Thus, in case of a severe accident, and if there is no time to launch the cabin. boats in the ordinary manner, they may be left JOSEF FUCHS.
