  • This invention relates to improvements in hatch covers for cargo vessels. More particularly, the invention pertains to hatch covers of the type which comprise separate generally rectangular panels which are arranged in side-by-side relation along the length of a generally rectangular hatchway, and which are lowered, usually one panel at a time, by ordinary hoisting gear into operative hatch closing position where they are dogged into place, or lifted, when undogged, to open the hatchway.
  • Hatch covers of the aforedescribed type are well known, but are susceptible of improvement. Because of the large size of hatchways and of the individual hatch cover panels, both the hatchway, especially its length, and the panels are susceptible of dimensional variations attendant manufacturing processes. When panels constructed prior to this invention are installed over a hatchway, dimensional variations in the width of each panel give rise to sealing problems, both with each other and with the edges of the hatchway, i.e. usually the coaming. This becomes particularly acute if panels made for a particular hatchway are attempted to be used with another hatchway of the same size because of manufacturing dimensional variations in hatchways.
  • the principal object of the invention is to provide an improved arrangement and method for the installation of hatch cover panels of the type under consideration which will avoid problems of obtaining adequate seals between the panels, and between the panels and the edges of the hatchway or the coaming, due to dimensional variations in both the panels and in the hatchway.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an improved construction and arrangement for installation of hatch covers of the type under consideration which will enable exchangeability of the covers between hatchways of the same size, and between certain of the panels, without encountering problems of installation or of sealing.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an improved arrangement for stacking hatch cover panels, when removed from a hatchway and stowed, to avoid damage to their sealing gaskets.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an improved arrangement to minimize the possibility of damage to the sealing gaskets on the hatch cover panels during their installation in side-by-side relation to cover a hatch opening.
  • FIG. 1 is a somewhat diagrammatic plan view showing the installation of a hatch cover embodying this invention over a hatchway.
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary elevational view taken substantially on line 2-2 of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary plan view taken substantially on line 3-3 of FIG. 2.

  • FIG. 1 a rectangular hatchway 20 surrounded by the usual flange 22 upstanding from the deck 23 of a vessel to form part of a coaming which also includes adjacent its upper edge and outer peripheral horizontal flange 24 formed by a downwardly facing channel welded to the flange 22 (FIGS. 2, 4, 6, l3, 14).
  • a plurality of individual generally-rectangular hatch cover panels are arranged in side-by-side relation transversely of the hatchway 20 to cover the same. Seven such panels are shown for illustrating the principles of the invention, but, depending upon the size of the hatchway, a lesser number of panels, in fact only two, could be used to practice the invention.
  • the central panel is designated No. 1, the two end panels which are of identical construction, No. 3, and the four intermediate panels, which also are of identical construction, No. 2.
  • all the panels preferably are of metal, welded, open-bottom box-like construction having a top plate 26, depending side flanges provided with lateral stiffening flanges at their lower ends, depending ends of rectangular tube construction (as at 28, FIG. 14), longitudinal interior stiffeners (not identified), and lifting eyes or rings 30 (FIG. 1) at the four corners.
  • the top plate 26 may be longitudinally arched, i.e., transversely of the hatchway.
  • Each panel is provided on its undersurface at its ends with a downwardly facing peripheral channel 32 in which is secured a gasket 34, of rubber or the like, which protrudes from the channel into sealing engagement with the coaming horizontal flange 24 when the panel is installed over the hatchway 20.

  • Each end of each panel also is provided outwardly of the channel 32 with a number of vertical support plates 36 which depend below the channel 32 to a level slightly above that of the lower edge of the gasket 34 when the latter is uncompressed. These support plates 36 rest on the coaming horizontal flange 24 and support the weight of each panel on the latter while permitting sealing engagement of the gaskets 34 therewith.
  • the central hatch cover panel No. 1 is provided at each end with a depending tapering pin 38 (FIG. 6), the two of which are offset from each other longitudinally of the panel. These pins 38 project below the panel support plates 36 and are adapted, when the panel is installed, to project through reinforced openings 40 (FIG. 6) in the coaming horizontal flange 24 to fix panel No. 1 in a predetermined position, relative to the hatchway 20, in which the end gaskets 34 seal with the coaming (FIG. 14).
  • panel No. 1 After panel No. 1 is so fixed it is dogged in position by dog bolts 41 pivotally mounted to the coaming flange 24 by brackets 42 and receivable in slots in horizontal flanges of dog brackets 43 on the ends of the panel, as shown in FIG. 6.
  • panel No. l is installed before any of the remaining panels. Thereafter, the panels on each side of No. 1 are installed successively toward the ends of the hatchway, i.e., No. 2, No. 2, and No. 3, for reasons later apparent.
  • Panel No. l is provided, along each side below its top plate 26 with a horizontal lateral flange 44 having an upturned outer lip 45 (FIGS. 6, 8 11). As shown best in FIGS. 8 and 9, at its ends, flange 44 extends beyond the ends of panel No. 1 over extended end portions of the gasket retaining channel 32. The lip 45 is cut away at the end portions of the flange 44 and the remaining edge is downwardly and outwardly bevelled, as at 46, as shown best in FIGS. 8 and 10.
  • the gasket retaining channel 32 terminates beneath the flange 44, but the gasket 34 protrudes therebeyond and is bevelled, as at 48, as a continuation of the bevel 46 on the edge of the flange 44.
  • Each intermediate panel No. 2 is reduced in thickness along one side, i.e., the side toward the central panel No. l, as best shown in FIGS. 7 and 10, and has the lower end of its corresponding side flange 50 turned under to support a downwardly facing channel 52 in which is secured a sealing gasket 54 that protrudes below the channel (FIG. 11).
  • the gaskets 54 sealingly engage the lateral side flanges 44 on the No. 1 panel.
  • the lower ends of the tubes 28 on panel No. 2 are recessed, as at 56, at the ends facing panel No. 1 in order to overlap the side flange 44 on the latter, as best shown in FIG. 10.
  • the gasket retaining channel 32 on panel No. 2 extends upwardly into the recess 56, at the same angle as the bevel 48 on the ends of the gaskets 34 on panel No. l, and thence horizontally so that the end portions of the gaskets 34 on panel No. 2 sealingly engage both the bevels 48 and 46 on the ends of the gaskets 34 on panel No. 1 and the edge of the flange 44, as well as the top of the latter as shown best in FIG. 10.
  • the channels 32 and gaskets 34 on panels No. 2 turn inward and merge smoothly with the side channel 52 and gasket 54 therein, as generally shown in FIG. 10.
  • panel No. 1 When installed, panel No. 1 is dogged to adjacent intermediate panels No. 2 along their sides by an appropriate number of elongated dog bolts 58 pivotally secured to lateral horizontal pins 60 on the central panel No. l and fitting in slots in horizontal flanges of dog brackets 64 projecting from the sides 50 of the intermediate panels No. 2 (FIGS. 9-12). Nuts 66 on the bolts 58 engage the upper surfaces of the brackets 64.
  • panel No. 2 has a vertical side plate 68 depending substantially into engagement with the lateral flange 44 on panel No. 1 when the panels are installed.
  • the No. 2 panels and No. 3 panels, when installed, are dogged, at their ends, to the coaming by a number of dog bolts 41 and brackets 43 identical to those for dogging panel No. 1 to the coaming.
  • each dog bolt 58 Projecting outwardly from the sides of central panel No. 1 adjacent each dog bolt 58 is a vertical flange 70 having its upper edge flush with the upper surface of the top plate 26 and an outer rounded corner. These flanges 70 project somewhat laterally beyond the bolts 58. The flanges 70 and plates 68 cooperate in preventing possible damage to the bolts 58 and to the side gaskets 54 when the No. 2 panels are being lowered into operative closing position and become misaligned.
  • panel No. 1 is provided with laterally projecting vertical flanges 72 which extend over the projecting ends of the side flanges 44 and have U-shaped notches 74 in their upper surfaces, as shown in FIGS. 6, 8 and 9.
  • each intermediate panel No. 2 is provided, at that side thereof toward central panel No. 1, with longitudinally projecting pins 76 snugly receivable in the notches 74 on installation of panel No. 2.
  • the portions of the flanges 72 projecting beyond the sides of panel No. 1 are inwardly reduced in thickness to accommodate the side portions of panels No. 2 between each pair of flanges 72 with some clearance, as shown in FIG. 9.
  • the pins 76 and notches 74 maintain a fixed predetermined lateral spacing between the intermediate panels No. 2 and the central panel No. 1 so that the side gaskets 54 on the panels No. 2 will properly seal with the lateral flanges 44 on panel No. 1 and the dog bolts 58 will be properly received in the slots in the brackets 64 on panels No. 2.
  • the flanges 72 further maintain panels No. 2 in proper fixed position transversely of the hatchway to further assure proper alignment of the dog bolts 58 and brackets 64 and proper sealing engagement of the panel No. 2 end gaskets 34 with the coaming flange 24. To facilitate reception of the side portion of the panels No.

  • each adjacent pair of intermediate panels No. 2, and adjacent pair of No. 2 and No. 3 panels are sealed and dogged together in the same manner as the central panel No. 1 with the immediately adjacent panels No. 2.
  • the end panels No. 3 are provided, along their undersides, with a downwardly facing peripheral channel 80 in which is secured a sealing gasket 82, as shown in FIG. 13.
  • the gaskets 82 protrude below the channels 80 into sealing engagement with the horizontal flange 24 on the hatch coaming when the end panels No. 3 are installed.
  • the channels 80 and gaskets 82 merge smoothly, by rounded corners, with the end channels 32 and gaskets 34 of the end panels No. 3.
  • a number of support plates 84 depend from the outer sides of the end panels No. 3 outwardly of the channels 80 into supporting engagement with the coaming flange 24.
  • These other sides of the end panels No. 3 are also dogged into place by a number of pivoted dog bolts 86, mounted to the horizontal flange 24 of the coaming and received in slots in horizontal flanges of dog brackets 88 on the end panels No. 3.
  • This construction permits accommodation of variations in width dimensions in the several hatch cover panels, e.g., two panels No. 2 and one panel No. 3, on each side of the central panel No. 1.
  • the spacing between adjacent panels remains substantially the same irrespective of their positioning along the length of the hatchway 20.
  • These variations may become cumulative, either in addition or subtraction, to vary the locus of sealing engagement of the gaskets 82 on the outer sides of the end panels No. 3 with the horizontal flange 24 of the coaming at the ends of the hatchway 20. Provision of a range for this locus permits accommodation of such variations.
