April 11, 1961 s. ARCHBOLD CARGO BATTEN HANGER FOR SHIPS Filed Aug. 12, 1959 STAN LEY ARCHBOLD United States Patent CARGO BA'ITEN HANGER FOR SHIPS Stanley Archbold, 1921 21st Road, Astoria, NY.
Filed Aug. 12, 1959, Ser. No. 833,327
1 Claim. (Cl. 248-247) This invention relates to hangers for a ship which are adapted to be secured to the ships ribs in the hold of the ship so that battens may be supported thereon to prevent chafing of the inside skin of the ship by the shifting cargo.
Battens are provided in ocean-going cargo vessels to prevent the cargo which is being transported from chafing the skin on the inside of the ship. The ribs of the ship are elongated vertical members or beams and the skin of the ship is welded or riveted to said ribs.
A principal object of the present invention is to provide a hanger for supporting a batten that is adapted to be readily mounted on and detached from a rib of a ship in the ships hold.
Another object of the invention is to provide a hanger that is adapted to receive readily a batten and that is provided with means for removably securing the batten in supported position.
A further object of the invention is to provide a hanger forsupporting a ships batten that is simple and sturdy in construction and that is economical to manufacture.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had I to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claim in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:
Fig. l is a side elevational view of a hanger for a batten embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a view looking from the right-hand side of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the hanger showing a batten in supported position on dot-dash lines.
Fig. 4 is an elevational view of a fragment of a ships hold showing battens supported by hangers embodying the invention.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged vertical sectional view taken on the plane of the line 5--6 of Fig. 4.
Fig. 6 is an enlarged sectional view taken on the line 66 of Fig. 4.
Fig. 7 is an enlarged detail view of the hanger mounting stud.
Referring in detail to the drawing, a hanger embodying the invention is shown in Fig. 1 and is designated generally by the reference numeral 10. This hanger may be made of wood, metal or any other suitable fiat material.
With particular reference to Figs. 1 and 2, the hanger 10 comprises a fiat substantially rectangular-shaped platelike body 12 with straight elongated side edges 14 and 16 and straight end edges 16' and 18. Slanting corners 20 are formed at the end edge 16' and square corners 22 at the end edge 18. Adjacent the end edge 18, the plate is formed with a cut-away portion indicated generally at 24. This cut-away portion has an elongated edge 26 disposed at an acute angle to the edge 14 and extending inwardly and downwardly of said edge 14. The base ice of the cut-away portion 24 is formed with an edge 28 disposed outwardly and downwardly from edge 16 and p at substantially right angles to the slanting edge 26. A,
hole 29'is formed in plate 12 centrally thereof at its end 16.
An L-shaped member or unit 30 is mounted on and secured to the edge 28 of the base of the cut-away portion 24. This L-shaped member comprises an elongated rectangular-shaped flat plate 32, vertically disposed on a plane at right angles to the plane of the plate 12 as viewed in Fig. 1 and a short substantially square shaped fiat horizontally disposed plate 34 extending laterally from the bottom end of plate 32 and secured thereto by cement, adhesive or in any other suitable manner. A hole 35 is formed in plate 32 at its free end. The plate 34 rests upon the edge 28 of the base of the cutaway portion of plate 12 and is secured thereto by cement, adhesive or in any other suitable manner. The
Y In use for supporting a number of battens 40 in parallel closely spaced arrangement over the inside skin 42 of the hold of a ship such as shown in Fig. 4, a number of the hangers it) are fastened to the spaced vertically disposed ribs 44 formed on the skin 52 in horizontally aligned relation. The hanger is fastened to the rib 44 by means of a threaded stud 48 welded to the surface of the rib and projecting laterally therefrom extending through the hole 29 in plate 12 of the hanger. A nut 49 on the end of the projecting stud fastens the parts to each other. The ribs are slightly curved so that when the plate 12 of the hanger is fastened thereto, the compartment defined by the plates 32 and 3 2- and strip 36 is substantially vertically disposed as shown in Pig. 5. The battens 40 are formed of wood and are substantially rectangular in configuration and in cross section and are inserted into the compartments of the hangers so that portions thereof protrude above the plates 32. The battens are secured in position in the hangers 10 by screws 50 extending through the holes 35 in the plates 32 of the hangers and through the material of the battens. The screws can be readily withdrawn in order to remove the battens when desired.
It will be understood of course, that the hanger including parts 12, 32, 34 and 36 might be made of a single piece of metal, if desired.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise construction herein disclosed and that various changes and modification may be made within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:
A unitary hanger for use in supporting battens in the hold of a ship comprising an elongated rectangular flat plate having an L-shaped cutout portion along one long edge thereof adjacent one end thereof, a reinforced rectangular-shaped strip fastened along one long edge to the side of the plate along the long edge of the cutout portion and disposed perpendicularly to the plane of the body of the plate, an L-shaped plate unit having its long leg spaced away from the strip and from the adjacent edge of the plate and having its short leg centrally seated on and secured to the short edge of the cutout portion of the plate, whereby said L-shaped plate unit is disposed across the edge of the elongated plate, said L- shaped plate unit and reinforcing strip defining a compartment to receive a batten, means on the long leg of the plate unit to receive a fastening element for fastening a batten to the hanger, and means on the other end of the rectangular plate to receive a fastening element for fastening the hanger to a rib in the hold of a ship.
