ATTORNEY Patented Feb. 13, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT FFICE 1,946,492 SUBMARINE SALVAGING SYSTEM Pablo Vilar Florido, United States Navy Application/May 24, 1932. Serial No. 613,247
2 Claims.
(Granted under the act of amended April 30, 1928;
position of a submerged submarine, and to facilitate the raising of the submarine by a salvaging 5 ship.
Generally, the device consists of a plurality of attaching units associated With the submarine with which are adapted to be attached comsubmerged, so as to indicate to the operators of the salvaging ship the position of the sunken submarine.
An important object of vide a mechanism of this salva-ging ship, the said submarine and salvaging ship being equipped with structural elements provided in accordance with the present invention.
the raising of the submarine.
Fig. 2a is a front elevation partly broken away of the inter-engaged units,
Fig. 3 is a side elevation thereof,
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary section through a compartment built in the deck of the in which is located certain structural elements in accordance with the present invention,
Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary longitudinal section through the lower free end of the units March 3, 1883, as 370 0. G. 757) with a cable guide, and
Fig. 6 is an end elevation of this unit. Now having particular reference to `the drawan attaching unit designated generally by the reference `charunit B, see Fig. 2. vided with a longitudinal cable -bore in order that the said cable 13, after it has been brought upon the salvaging ship D, can be passed therethrough to afford a guide means for the particular unit C during its lowering into engagement with the respective submarine associated unit B, see Fig. 1. The weight of the units C are such that when dropping downwardly through the water, they will automatically engage upon the heads of the units B and lock thereon, so that when the cables attached to the units C are raised, the submarine will also be raised.
In order to prevent the cables 13 from getting caught within the slots of the mouths 17 of the units C, the outer ends of the mouths may be and preferably are equipped in each instance with a soft metal cable guide 19 that will break apart upon the expansion of the particular mouth to allow it to engage over the respective head of the unit B.
In view of the foregoing description when oonsidered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it will -be apparent that I have provided a novel, simple and useful means for indicating the position of a sunken submarine, and to also facilitate the raising of the submarine, and even though I have shown and described herein the invention as consisting of certain detailed structural elements, it is nevertheless to be un derstood that some changes may be made therein without affecting the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalty thereon or therefor.
What I claim as new is:
1. In a submarine salvaging means, in combination, a unit carried by a submarine, a head at the outer end thereof, a unit carried by a salvaging ship, an expansible mouth at the outer end thereof for engagement over the head of the submarine unit, co-acting means carried by the head and the mouth to prevent their separation after engagement, means cooperating with the submarine unit for guiding the -salvaging ship unit into engagement therewith, said last mentioned means including a cable attached to the submarine unit and a buoy secured to its outer end to carry the cable to the surface of the water, and a severable cable guide carried by the salvaging ship unit.
2. In a submarine salvaging means, in combination, a unit carried by a submarine, a head at the outer end thereof, a unit carried by a salvaging ship, an expansible mouth at the outer end thereof for engagement over the head of the submarine unit, co-acting means carried by the head and the mouth to prevent their separation after engagement, said means comprising a channel at the inner end of the head of the submarine unit and a rib within the mouth of the salvaging ship unit for engagement in said channel after the mouth has been disposed over the head, means cooperating with the submarine unit for guiding the salvaging ship unit into engagement therewith, and a severable cable guide mounted in the mouth of the salvaging ship unit.
