H represents a pair of trolley wires 30, supported on the inside of the basin inside the tracks as by posts 3 1 and brackets 35.
The car is represented by K and should be heavy enough with its passengers to stay down under water. Its bottom and sides are strictly water-proof and there are in the body on each side, the glass windows 41, 41 and inside the seats 42. The car K travels on wheels 43, 13 which run on track F.
As' shown, the motor 442 is positioned in the rear end of the car and may be in a compartment by itself. It is connected by wires 46, 46 with the double trolley arms 47, 47 of anvwellknown type, which are carried by a bracket 147 on the upper inside of car K.
A strap 148 drives the rear wheels 43, 43 from motor 44. V V
14.8, 48 represent ventilators which extend up to the roofof car K and 4:9 isa hatchway whichopens towardthe trolleys $7, 17 to protect the passengers who are com ng in or going out by way of the ladder 50.
Instead of. an electric motor, I can use a chain and sprocket drive of a type similar to those used on roller coasters. Asshown in Figs. 6, 7 and 9, this drive includes supporting sprockets and 61 around which pass the chains 62and 63 as shown in Fig. '2.
As shown, the line of sprockets 60, 60 with the endless chain. 62 which travels around them are insidethe other line of sprockets 61, 61 with their chain 63. The inner chain 62 travels around the circuit loop while the outer chain 63 travels around the part 20 of the circuit loop and the part 22 of the landing loop so that when the switches 23' and 26 are moved, the car K can be driven either around the circuit or landing loop.
In order to shift the drive mechanism, many devicescan be used either operated from inside the car or preferably so arranged with the switches 23 and 26 that when the switch is thrown, the connection one end a pivoted connection for arm 69 which can be extended down through a water tight hole 169 and at its other end an arm 68 which extends down through a water tight hole 168.
These arms are of such length that 69 can be pushed down as shown by the dotted lines in front of a pin carried by chain 63. and the end of arm 68 can be pushed down in front of a pin 6% carried by a chain 62. The mechanism for operating by switch rod 126 includes two standards 74: and 7 5 which carry respectively the oppositely slanting plows 72 and 7 3 which are in such a position and so arranged that when, for instance, rod 126 is pushed to the left, thus opening switch 26 to allow the car to travel around the circuit, the plow 73 is. brought in front of a wheel 71 carried by arm 68 and if the car continues moving, arm 68 is brought down in front of pin 64 and arm 69 is lifted clear of pin 65. See Fig. 9.
When switch rod 126 is moved to the right to switch the car onto the landing loop, the plow, 72 is moved over in front of another wheel carried by arm 68, as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 7 and'this. wheel 7 0 rolls up on the plow 7 2 thereby lifting arm 68 and depressing arm 69 until it is in front of pin 65. v
Preferably an electric motor of any usual type is used to drive both the chains 62 and 63 and I interpose a switch such as 38 in its circuit. By locating the switch in the control station, the current can be switched off and the car stopped to allow loading and unloading of passengers.
In Fig. 11, I show how an explosive gasoline motor 91 can be used instead of an electric motor or chain drive. On account of the fumes, this motor 91 should be in a compartment 90 at the rear of the car K and should be provided with an intake air pipe 92 and an exhaust air pipe 93, running up above the water level in the basin. The shaft 9e connects themotor with the rear wheels such as 95 by any suitable gearing ordifferential mechanism.
