1 Claim.
This invention relates to a novel device for washing'mud and clay from the anchor chain as the anchor is being hauled up.
The. primary object of the invention is to provide an anchor chain washing device ,which may be readily installed aboard ships forattachrnent to the deck water line and each of .the hawsepipes in which the anchor chains are positioned.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a device of the character described which includesa pair of manually operable valve controls, one on the starboard side and the other on the port side, for controlling .i the flow of water to, either or both of the hawsepipes.
A still further object of the invention is to provide' a device of the character described including spray nozzles communicative with the interiorbf the hawsepipes for eificiently removing mud from the anchor chains as the latter are being hauled up.
These, together with various ancillary objects and features of the invention which will later become apparent as the following description proceeds, are attained by the device, a preferred embodiment of which has been illustrated by way of example only in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view of the device, the hull being broken away and some parts being shown in elevation;
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the device, the hull being broken away to showthe water jackets and hawsepipes in elevation, while the hawsepipes are further broken awaitv to show the anchor. chains positioned therein;
Figure 31s a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1; and
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 4-4 off Figure 3. V
specific reference is now made to the drawings. ;In the several views in the accompanying drawings and in the following specification reference characters indicate corresponding elements throughout.
Indicated generally at I0 is the hull of a ship having a hawsepipe l2 at starboard side of the ship and another hawsepipe l4; 7 at the port side of the ship. Slidable in the hawsepipes are anchor chains l6 and i8 which-are received on a Windlass 20 on the deck for winding the chains and raising and lowering the anchors 22 and 24. The ship is further provided with a chain locker generally shown at 2B. The ship is also provided with a deck water line 28.
Secured to the deck water line 28 by means of a suitable two-way pipe coupling 30, are a pair of water conduits 32 and 34. For controllin the flow of water in each of the conduits, a pair of conventional manually operable valves 36 and 38 are positioned at suitable places in the conduits. The free ends of the conduits 32 and 34 are communicative with water jackets in the form preferably of coils 40 and 42 positioned about each of the hawsepipes i2 and. I4.
As will be seen more clearly in Figure 3, each hawsepipe is provided with radially extending pipe sections 44 communicative with the interior 46 of the hawsepipe. The ends 48 of the pipe sections abut the inner wall of each of the coils 40 and 42 for supporting the latter. Secured to or integral with the inner wall of each coil is a plurality of radial inwardly extending tapered sprayers 50 which extend into each of the pipe sections 44. Thus, when water is permitted to flow from the deck water line 28 by means of any or both of the valves 36 and 38, water will enter either or both of the coils 40 and 42 to be sprayed by means of the tapered sprayers 50 into the interior of either or both of the hawsepipes. The spray of water will loosen themud from the chains passing through the hawsepipes.
To allow for ease of assembly of the coils 40 and 42 about each hawsepipe, the coils are preferably made in sections 52 and 54. The ends of each section are provided with complementary flanges 56 and 58 which are secured to each other by means of suitable headed bolts 60.
In view of the foregoing description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings it is believed that a clear understanding of the device will be quite apparent to those skilled in this art. A more detailed description is accordingly deemed unnecessary.
It is to be understood, however, that even though there is herein shown and described a preferred embodiment of the invention the same is susceptible to certain changes fully comprehended by the spirit of the invention as herein described .and the scope of the appended claim.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
In a boat having a deck water line and hawsepipes for receiving anchor chains; an anchor chain washing device comprising water conduits leading from the deck water line to each of the hawsepipes, means for controlling the flow of water in said conduits, each of said hawsepipes including a plurality of pipe sections extending radially from the outer wall thereof and communicative with the interior of the hawsepipe.
