SHEH 2 (IF 2 SHIPS HULL My invention relates to an improved hull design and particularly to an inexpensive and effective method of constructing same.
A vessel used for towing normally is provided with a hull of fairly conventional design which often lacks some of the characteristics needed in a boat intended for pulling heavy loads, usually at relatively low speeds, and frequently in rough or at least choppy water. Such vessels are costly to build and operate and should be provided with above average stability since there is always the danger that they might be capsized by their tows.
My hull design allows the engine and other weighty components of the vessel to be mounted so as to ensure a very low center of gravity which provides maximum stability. The hull has a keel portion constructed to reduce friction and provide a maximum flow of water over and around the propeller which decreases propeller slip and results in greater manoeuvrability. The design lends itself to manufacture by a simple cutting and welding process which elminates the need for costly lofting, cutting and assembling as in conventional construction methods.
In drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention,
FIG. 1 is a side elevation of a vessel provided with a hull in accordance with the present invention,
FIG. 2 is a front elevation of the vessel,
FIG. 3 is a plan taken on the line 33 of FIG. 1,
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal section taken on the line 4-4 of FIG. 3,
FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 are vertical sections taken respectively on the lines 5-5, 66 and 77 of FIG. 4,
FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view showing the assembly of parts of the hull, and
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a modified form of the hull.
The numeral 10 indicates generally a small tug provided with a hull 12 which forms the basis of the pres ent invention; the hull comprising two major parts, a bottom plate 14 and a keel portion 16.
The hollow keel portion 16 comprises a bow section 30, a main section 31, and a stern section 32. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the metal bow section 30 is substantially triagnular when viewed from the side and is trans versely curved in cross-section. Thus, section 30 has an upper edge 34 and a rear edge 35, the latter edge being disposed at right angles to longitudinal axis 36 of said section. A
The tubular metal cone used to form the stern section 32 has an upper portion cut away to provide a curved upper edge 45 which is parallel to longitudinal axis 46 of said section. Front edge 47 of the section 32 is normal to axis 46 and so is rear edge 48 which defines the small, open end of the conical section 32.
The edges 35 and 40 are welded together to form a strong, watertight seal therebetween. Similarly the edges 41 and 47 are joined together. The upper edges 34, 38 and 45 of the three sections making up the keel portion 16 define an opening 50 (FIG. 8) having a marginal edge 51 which conforms in shape to marginal edge 52 of the opening 20, and these two marginal edges are securely welded together again to form a strong, watertight seal. The axis 36 of the bow section is disposed at an obtuse angle to the axis 39 of the main section. Preferably, axis 39 is disposed at an acute angle to the plate 14 so as to extend downwardly and rearwardly therefrom.
The hull 12 contains the engine for the tug 10, the engine being shown by dotted lines in FIG. 1 enclosed by and suitably mounted in the main section 31. Propeller shaft 61 of the engine 60 extends rearwardly through the stern section 32 and is properly sealed and journalled therein, this shaft being fitted with the usual propeller 62. A keel strip 64 is secured to the underside of the main section 31 to extend rearwardly therefrom and the rear end of this strip, plus the bottom plate 14, rotatably supports a rudder 65.
As the tug 10 is driven forward through the water by the propeller 62, the rounded and enlarged bow section 30 breaks through the water and causes it to flow around the cylindrical main section 31 as well as over and around the conical stern section 32 whereby near maximum driving efficiency is achieved by the deeply immersed propeller. There is relatively little interruption in water flow beneath the plate 14 and longitudinally of the keel portion 16 and this reduces friction to a minimum. The water flow is such that the rudder 65 is extremely effective and therefore the vessel is particularly easy to maneuver with the water flowing across and over the conical stem section 32 to ensure a very short turning radius. Since the tug 10 has a low center of gravity due to the engine 60 being mounted in the main section 31, the vessel is exceptionally stable and cannot readily be capsized.
A ships hull of the above described design is exceptionally easy to construct by a process which will now be described. Referring to FIG. 8,. a length of cylindrical tube is used to form the sections 30 and 31. An oblique cut is made across the tube 70 at an angle of approximately 70 to the longitudinal axis of said tube, and this provides a short length 71 and a long length 72 of tubing. The short length 71 is rotated about its longitudinal axis and the two out edges (35 and 40) are then welded together. The rear edge 41 of the main section and the front edge 47 of the stern section are also welded together and this completes the construction of the hull portion except'for the provision of the top opening 50 which subsequently is formed by cutting away the surplus metal from the three sections. The keel section 16 is then joined to the bottom plate 14 and the marginal edges of the two openings 20 and 50 are welded together to provide the above described hull.
Referring to FIG. 9, the numeral 80 indicates generally another vessel having a hull 82 comprising a bottom plate 83 and two transversely spaced keel portions 84. The portions 84 are constructed in the above described manner to provide a hull having twin keels as is desirable in some types of vessels.
From the foregoing, it will be apparent I have provided a hull design which has the stability, water flow, and other characteristics which are desirable particularly in a vessel using for purposes of towing such as is shown in FIG. 1, or for a ferry such as is shown in FIG. 9. Construction costs are considerably reduced over those of conventional tug and ferry building methods due to the unique method of assembling the present hull.
