. Amman fired may 10,
-This inventionfrelates totimproved means, or to an improved apparatusto be used in conjunction with'liquid or gas, for utilizing the buoyancy of the latter. for "the purpose of accomplishing numerous desired results. In the present embodiment of the invention, I have shown it as being associated with' an ordinary ro -bearer the purpose.
of stabilizing the same to agreat extent, or, .10 to'prevent' the boat rocking excessively when in a fairly stifi breeze, but I desire it to be distinctly understood, that the invention is not limited in its application to' a boat, as
it may be employed in connection with other.
devices and for. accomplishing other desired results,.'without a departure-fromthe spirit of the invention.
..i The principal, object of the invention is,
5 f 'to furnish an'apparatus having abuoyant .zo'body so arranged with respect to the ap-- paratus, thatthe force of its buoyancy may be applied orcbroug'ht to bear upon some I particular part of an object, for the purpose of accomplishing desirediresults.
"Another object of the invention is, to provide a deviceby'which the power or upward thrust of buoyant force of a body can b'e'easily adjusted and applied and brought to bearupon some particular portion of the 3o device, in order to make the apparatus perform its function more perfectly.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be disclosed in the accompanying drawing, which serves to illustrate an embodiment of. which the invention is susout adeparturefrom the essenceoi the inventionfso-long as they fall within scopeof-the appended claims, gIn the drawingz Fig. 1, is a plan view of a row-boat show ing a' stabilizer constructed according tov the presentexample of the invention and Fig. 2, is a side view thereof, showing a portion of'onev'o f the buoyan tior floating bodies in section. i Y
; Like numerals of reference designate sim ilar parts throughout the differentviews of The reference numeral 5,-designates', asja whole, an ordinary row-boat provided with transversely disposed and spaced seats 6,'for the occupants thereof. 7, 1 On opposite sidesof the boat, near its prow. and near its stern is detachably mount b i g hese" rodsjll, may be of; any
'ceptible, it being understoodthat' changes V and modifications may be resortedto, withif the mounted on each'of the rods 11, is, an i a i" justable weight,"designated'as'a whole by I brackets 7, has an, outwardly extended arm] orportion-9,provided with a rounded re: I
duced portion extended outward-1y" irom the portion-9Q Thisrounded reduced'poii tion, or stub, shaft 10',form s a bearing for a part of the"device-whichis'mounted on each ofthe said brackets.
;Pivotally mounted on each of the portions 10, of each of'the brackets-7, is
bearin the upper portion of a depending rod"1 l,'.
which portion iszin the form of a ringlQ, fitted loosely around the part 10, and-each of said rings 12, are prevented dislocation by a means of a screw 13,engaging th'e outer end ofe'ach or" the parts 10. Thus its-will be seen and understood, that the rods llfwill fhave pivotal movements with respect to' their suitable length so as to'dependa consider able distancelbelow the 'surface'line 14, of the water in which the boat floats. V a
Below .the boat '5, each of the rods iris provided with an adjustable float orbuoy-j ant body, designated as whole by the nu meral 15,:eachof which may be of:any prev:Eerred construction, but in, the present instance, is .shownxas having a rectangular frame 16, provided at each or" its ends-with 9o vertically disposed apertured sleeves 17, the lowermost one of each frame, being provided with'a set screvv' l8,to-allow of th'e'adjustability o'f the frames 16, as is apparent.
Itwill be understood that the rods 11, cx- 95* tend throughthe apertures ofythe sleeves 17, .f; and 18, as wellas through vertically dis:
posed apertures in'the upper andlowe'rfpor,-
tions of the frames 16', each of which frames J .7
has secured to eachfof its sides a hollow member .19, which provide floats and are detachably connected to. the frames 16, by bolts 20, extended centrally. through the ineinf. bers 19, and nuts '21, engaging'saidbolts. Below each of the buoyant bodies 15, and
the numeral 22,=each of which comprises a hollow sleeve 23, havingupper and lower; reduced tubular portions 24:, fitting around said rods. Each of the sleeves 23, is pro- J vided with a set screw 25, by meansofwhich Enwin BLOOD, or cnIoAso, ILLINoIs} I y it and its reduced portions maybe slid wardly anddownwardly on its rod, and then .fixed in its adjusted position by screwing up the set screw 25, thereof. Mounted on 'thereduced portions 24, of the sleeves'23', are a plurality of centrally .apertured disks 26, which'may be held in position by any 1 desired means, yet so that' the number'of 'each' groupor disks of weights nayf be re- 10 dueedor increased. V I e p s rom the, ore san r t e se t the drawing itwill be readily'understoo d "l and clearly seen, that by my improvements,
' the buoyant bodies or floats 1'5, Willbe held I l 5 belowithe surfae'e of the liquid upon'w-hich the boat floats by' neans of'the" weigl ts 2 2 which may be adjusted on their ife'speetiye rods in an upwardly or downwardly direction to' suit the ;c i,rcumstances,ffor it is apparent that the adjusting of the Weights 22,
v at ag reater or less distance from the buoy: faint b d-iesor floats 15, results in a change v of the netbuoyancy; brought to bear the upper bearings. It" will also be understooc l, that by gmy improyeinents, wheniapplied to ar a-b t, that the weights and floats be-x ing'looated instill Water; and that by rea- H Son of'the buoyancy of the latter, the boat,
beinglocated in ruflied or rough Water, will "be prevented rocking excessively, orwill-be Stabilized." a
4 B y ad'u s ting the yyeights'22; downwardly; it will be understood thatsoine'of the disksor 'Weights '26, should be removed as itfrequires adismount of weightwfhen the'same isiadjustedat a furtherdistanee from the, buoyant bodies vor floats than if the said Weights werelocated nearerthe latter H said eights and said boat.
Having thus fully described my' inv ention.
