Definitions

  • SHEET 3 [IF 3 INVENTOR BY .MM/ 5 2/497 AT ORNEY BATTENING SYSTEM FOR HATCH COVERS
  • the present invention relates to a battening down system for use in connection with hatch covers onboard ships, or under similar conditions in which a hatch or opening is provided with a coaming and is to be sealingly closed by means of a cover.
  • each individual battening system is the least possible voluminous, both in open and closed condition of the hatch, and also that the individual elements of the system be rugged and simple, both in manufacture, use and maintenance.
  • the system being of the type which comprises a hook member which at one end may catch a peg on the hatch cover and, at a distance from such end, through a link is pivotally connected to a peg on the hatch coaming and also connected to a power source, the hook member and the hatch coaming being provided with means which may slide with respect to each other for guiding the movements of the hook member under the influence of the power source.
  • the pivot peg of the link anchored on the hatch coaming, is disposed perpendicularly below the hatch cover peg and so that the link, during closing movement of the system, may pivot with its peg connecting it to the hook member through the vertical extensionof the center line betweenthe hatch cover peg and the hatch coaming peg, while simultaneously the co-operation of a peg and a cam face, constituting the guiding means, effects a guidance of the hook member so that the upper portion of said hook member makes a circumscribing movement about the hatch cover peg for ultimately to tighten the hatch cover peg towards the hatch coaming peg as the connection peg passes the vertical extension of the center line between the hatch cover peg and the hatch coaming peg.
  • the hook member as a flat body which is merely moving in its own plane and consequently, together with the associated link and pegs, is not substantially projecting from the side face of the coaming and, when the cover is removed, is occupying very little space in the direction of height of the coaming.
  • the battening force exerted by the system will be a multiple of the force provided by the power source and will in fact increase as the cover is tightened.
  • the connections between the hook member and the hatch coaming peg and between the hook member and the power source are positioned in a hook formed portion of the member, so that the hook member, in its entirety, is substantially S shaped, in which the hatch coaming peg may be embraced by the lower curved portion of the S, and the system be locked in battening position.
  • FIG. 1, 2 and 3 are all side views of the system as seen towards one side face of the coaming, FIG. 1 in the position occupied when the hatch is uncovered, FIG. 2 in an intermediary position and FIG. 3 in the battened down position.
  • 1 is the hatch coaming and 2 the hatch cover.
  • the cover 2 is provided with a battening peg 3, while the hatch coaming l is provided with a pivot peg 4 and a guide peg 5.
  • the coaming 1 is provided with a bracket 6, mounting a double acting hydraulic jack comprising a cylinder 7 and a piston rod 8.
  • the hook member is denoted 9, and is provided with a hook formed nose 10 at one end adapted for cooperation with the cover peg 3 and, at the other end with a hook formed portion 11 carrying a pivot peg 12. Further, the member 9 is provided with a cam shaped portion 13 adapted to cooperate with the guide peg 5 on the hatch coaming 1. Between the coaming peg 4 and the hook member peg 12, there is arranged a link 14, mounting a pivot 15 connected to the piston rod 8 of the hydraulic jack.
  • FIG. 1 the system is shown with the various components in the position they occupy when the coaming is uncovered.
  • the end of the hook member 9 presenting the nose 10 is then at rest against a face 61 on the bracket 6 on the coaming l, and the various components are so positioned and formed relatively to each other that the hook member 9 as a whole occupies a substantially horizontal position, just clear of the top edge of the coaming l.
  • the jack is also occupying an approximately horizontal position.
  • the height of the peg 3 above the hatch coaming may vary, without bringing the peg into contact with the lower surface of the nose 10, which contact might cause the peg to be subjected to a horizontal wedge effect.
  • the peg 5 and the cam'13 are so positioned relatively to each other that the peg 5, during continued swinging of the link 14 under the influence of the jack will engage a cam portion 132 which is so shaped and extending in such direction relatively to the cam portion 131, that the hook member 9 will then be so moved that the nose is moved in the direction of the battening down, in the present case downwardly, into engagement with the peg 3 and then press the same towards thehatch coaming 1, so that the cover 2 is forced against and maintained in engagement with the coaming.
  • FIG. 3 This situation is illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • the axis of the pivot peg 12 is situated slightly beyond the vertical line through the axis of the pegs 3 and 4, so that the hookrnember is locked against any unintentional movement in a direction for disengagement of the battening.
  • the hook member 9 is, as shown, at the end situated remotely from the nose 10 so shaped thatthe coaming peg 4 is positioned in the lower bight of the S shaped hook member.
  • the link 14 is in the form of a one-armed lever in relation to the coaming peg 4.
  • the link may be a two-armed lever, if local conditions should so indicate.
  • the guiding peg 5 is mounted on the hatch coming. Itv will, however, be obvious that the guiding peg 5 may be mounted on the hook member for cooperation with a cam member mounted on the hatch coaming.
  • a battening system for use in connection with hatch covers aboard ships or under similar conditions, comprising a hook member which at one end may catch a peg on the hatch cover and, at a distance from such end, through a link is pivotally connected to a peg on the hatch coaming and also connected to a power source, the hook member and the hatch coaming being provided with means which may slide withe respect to each other for guiding the movements of the hook member under the influence of the power source, characterized in that the pivot peg of the link, anchored on the hatch coaming, is dispoed perpendicularly below the hatch cover peg and so that the link, during closing movement of the system, may pivot with its peg connecting it to the hook member through the vertical extension of the centerline between the hatch cover peg and the hatch coaming peg, while simultaneously the cooperation of a peg and a cam face, constituting the guiding means, effects a guidance of the hook member so that the upper portion of said hook member makes a circumscribing movement about the hatch cover
