MYRON OOLONEY, OF NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOB TO JAMES HENRY MCLEAN. OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
MARINE TORPEDO.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 225,465, dated March 16, 1880.
Application filed February 10, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it. known that I, MYRON OoLoNEY, oi the city and county of New Haven, in the State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Marine Torpedoes, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to torpedoes provided with magnets to cause them to attach themselves to an iron vessel which they may be designed to destroy.
The invention consists in amagnetio appliance for retaining coupled torpedoes in parallel position while passing through the water, as hereinafter explained.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will proceed to describe it with refereneeto the accoi'npanying drawings, in
which--- Figure 1 is a side view of a single torpedo, illustrating the first and second parts of my invention. Fig. 2 is a rear view of the same. Fig. 8 is a plan of a pair of coupled torpedoes, illustrating the third partof the invention. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the coupling devices.
A A repre'seutcigarshaped submarine boats containing spring or other motive power op-v erating screwpropellers 1: by which the said boats are driven through the water. 0 C are rudder-plates to conllne the boats to direct lines of motion.
hen the boats are used singly the rudder plates are crossed inplanes' at right angles to each other, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, so that in event of the boat rolling over the steering effect of the rudder-plates will not be impaired.
' T represents the explosive shell or torpedo proper, rigidly attached to the prow or for-.
M. M are magnets attached to a hoop, E, iixed to the side'of the heat, so thatthe poles of the magnets willbe presented outward and in a circle. M in Fig. 1 represents magnets attached in similar manner to a hoop, E, surrounding the point of the torpedo 1, the poles of the magnets M being presented forward.
Referring to Fig. 3, F represents a couplingbar hinged to the prow of each of apair of torpedoes, as described in an application o'fJames H. McLean, M. D.,filed the 30th of July, 1878. G G are rigid bars projecting from the opposite sides of the two torpedo-boats A A. Between the ends of the bars G G is fixed a magnet, M and on the ends of the opposite bars, G G, is fixed a circular iron plate, H, provided with a flange, h, and constituting the armatureof the magnet M 7 v M M represent a range of magnets pivoted to bars I i; and W magnets, mounted'on the described in the applica- II. McLean, above referred to.
coupling-bar F, as tion of Dr. J. I
In operation, the magnet M and plateH on the ends of the bars G G and G G respect ively will hold the boats A A in parallel position until an iron vessel is approached, when the superior attraction of the magnets M .or M will cause the two boats to be drawn into line and along'the side or bottom of'the vessel- It is manifest that this part of my invention may be used without the particular mode of applying the magnets or the rudders described with especial reference to Fig. 1, and, further, that the modes of applying the magnets and the rudders shown in Figs. 1 and 2 may either be used without the other or without the magnetic coupling device shown at M H in Figs. 3 and 4.
Having thus described my invention, the followingis what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters -Patent:-
The combination, with a pair of torpedoboats hinged together, of v a magnet, M, and armature H, attached to the respective, boats to hold them in parallel position while, passing through the water, as explained.
