LIFE BOAT.
No. 513,424. Patented Jan. 23, l'1894.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.,
AUGUST SCHNEMANN, OF IIASSERODE, GERMANY.
LIFE-BOAT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 513,424, dated January 23, 1894.
Application tiled April 28, 1893. Serial No. 472,210. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AUGUST SGENEMANN, of Hasserode, in the German Empire, have invented new and useful Improvements in Life and other Boats, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
The present invention relates to life-boats for the purpose of picking up or rescuing shipwrecked persons, but is also applicable to other boats to be used generally for seaservice.
In the accompany ing drawings, which illustrate my improved life-boat, Figure 1 isa longitudinal section and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same partly in section.
The frame of the boat consists of longitudi` nal steel hoops or stringers `A A and B B connected to the steel frames or ribs u so as to form a fish-shaped skeleton frame which, at the bow, ends in a point a to enable it to cut easily through the water. The skeleton frame is covered with india-rubber or leather to ren-` shown firmly secured in its closed position by,
means of link plates a and fixed screws and ily nuts b. The ribs u 'a2 are made to carry at their upper parts the"cranked shafts Z, which can be turned by hand. The outer extremities of these shafts Z are adapted to carry the paddle wheels Z. One of the shafts Z is provided in the inside of the boat with. an eccentric y, which latter is connected, by means of a rod i and bell crank lever h, with the belfront of the ribs u u2, is inserted a sheet of glass w, so as to allow sufficient lightinto the boat.
A rudder q is provided to enable the -boat to be steered and it is connected to a bar pivoted at r t. The rudder bar is fitted with two arms @c2 which reach into the interior of the boat and are actuated by the feet.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-
A life or other boat having a frame built of steel hoops or strin gers A A andV B B and steel rings u covered with india-rubber or leather and propelled by means of paddle wheels Z rotated by hand from the inside of the boat by means of cranked shafts, one of which is tted with an eccentric y giving motion to the bellows 1 9 so as to introduce fresh air into the interior of the boat and expel the foul air therefrom, substantially as herein shown and described.
'In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
Witnesses:
PAUL FISCHER,
JOHN SALowsKI.
