2 Claims.
This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in marine Vessels, the principal object of the present invention being to provide a vessel of the character stated built for extremely high speed.
Another important object of the invention is to provide a marine vessel constructed in such a manner as to rise most of the way out of the water when traveling at a fast rate of speed, thus materially reducing the chance of being struck by torpedoes during wartimes.
Still another important object of the invention is to provide a marine vessel which can be employed as a cargo ship with a view toward transporting oils, foods and even troops during wartime at a much higher rate of speed.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following description.
In the drawings:
Figure l is a top plan view of the vessel.
Figure 2 is a side elevation.
Figure 3 is a front elevation.
Figure 4 is a longitudinal vertical section.
Figure 5 is an enlarged fragmentary horizontal sectional view taken substantially on the line 5-5 of Figure 2.
Figure 6 is a vertical transverse sectional view taken substantially on the line 6-6 of Figure 2.
Figure '7 is a fragmentary detailed vertical section taken substantially on the line 1-7 of Figure 3.
Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen in Figure 6, that numeral 5 denotes a top deck while numeral '6 denotes a bottom deck and extending longitudinally of the bottom deck 6 and in parallel spaced relation beneath the same are elongated air chambers or pontoons 1, l. The decks 5, 6 and the pontoons 1 may have common ship sides 8, 9 and in the upper portions of the sides 8, 9 above the deck 6 are port holes 9. Longitudinally extending partitions I are provided between the decks 5, 6 and these may have suitable doorways or other openings l I.
As can be seen in Figure 4, the deck 6 terminates at the forward point l2 where a sloping shed l3 starts to rise and terminates at a point above the bow ends of the pontoons 'l, I. From the upper portion of the shed l3 and rearwardly on the deck is a cabin structure M, having suitable doors l5 and port holes or windows iii. A windshield I! is provided in its slanting forward wall [8.
Suitable brackets I 9 are secured to the water opposed side of the shed member l3 for the purpose of supporting one or more motors 20 each having a propeller 2|.
These propellers serve to pull air into the tunnel 22 formed by the shed l3, deck 6 and pontoons l, 7, this tunnel being open at its forward end and also at its rearward end where a rudder '23 is provided and controlled by suitable control means 24 at the stern end of the deck 6.
It can now be seen, that when the engines 29 are started, the propellers 2i will pull and push air into the tunnel 22. This air will build up between the shed l3 and the water and eventually between the deck 6 and the water within the confines of the pontoons l, l with a result that as the vessel develops momentum, it gradually rises from the water and is eventually actually riding on an air current.
While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
l. A marine vessel comprising a deck structure including upper and lower decks, respectively, and a pair of elongated side pontoon structures disposed in spaced parallel relation under the deck structure, the forward portion of the lower deck rising obliquely above the upper deck, and a cabin on the upper deck extending aft from the obliquely rising forward portion, the front of the cabin being formed in part by said portion.
2. A marine vessel comprising a deck structure including upper and lower decks, respectively, a pair of elongated side pontoon structures disposed in spaced parallel relation under the deck structure, the forward portion of the lower deck rising obliquely above the upper deck, and a cabin on the upper deck extending aft from the obliquely rising forward portion, the front of the cabin being formed in part by said portion, and motor operative propellers mounted on said portion above the Water line.
JOHN BRUNT.
