JOSEPH M. COTEY, OF WEST SUPERIOR, WISCONSIN.
MARINE LIFE-SAVING MESSENGER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 593,958, dated November 16, 1897.
Application filed April 24, 1897. Serial No. 633,800. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOSEPH M. OOTEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of West Superior, in the county of Douglas, in
the State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Marine Life-Saving Messengers, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanyin g drawings, forming a part thereof.
My invention relates to marine life-saving messengers, my object being to provide a de vice for saving life to be carried upon ships and other vessels that cannot be made to sink and remain under water when in use and of I 5 suflicient buoyancy to keep one or more persons afloat above water, having a water-tight compartment in which money, valuable papers, jewelry, 650., can be placed for preservation when the passenger is forced to the water in case of shipwreck. I attain these objects by the invention illustrated in the accompanying'drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan of the messenger complete. Fig. 2 is a section on line drawn from E to F, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical section on line drawn from A to B, Fig. 1; Fig. 4, a longitudinal section on line drawn from O to D, Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings, Fig. 1 represents the outer shell of the messenger complete,
suspended from post T in berth or cabin when not being used as a life-preserver by strong elastic band L L, attached to plates S S, Fig.
1, riveted, brazed, or otherwise firmly attached 3 5 to framework.
The shell is cylindrical in form with conical ends, each end being closed by bulkhead O, the entire messenger including partitions between compartments, composed of plates of 0 iron, steel, or other suitable materials of such dimensions and of sufficient thickness to render the messenger Very buoyant and strong. It contains two or more water-tight inaccessible compartments Q Q, each being closed at base of cone at H and H, Fig. 1, by a circular plate attached to outer shell, as shown at U, Fig. 2, giving additional strength to framework and forming partitions between compartments Q Q and compartment R R, all
joints and seams brazed, calked, or otherwise rendered water-tight.
The central compartment R R is provided with hand-hole P, closed by heavy lid N, ordinarily constructed with a cleat on either side of M, Fig. 3, to hold identification-card, fitted to collar I, of rubber or other suitable material, orpacking, with spring lock K firmly attached to framework to keep lid N closed, rendering compartment R R perfectly water-tight, and the whole messenger being suitably painted renders it more easily discovered when floating. A person places band L L under armpits when using messenger.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- A marine life-saving messenger, cylindrical in form with conical ends, partitions therein forming a plurality of inaccessible compartments at the ends, a central compartment having a hand-hole opening therein, a lid for closing said hole, a yielding collar against which the lid closes, a lock for holding the lid closed, and an elastic band connected to the device for securing it to the person, substantially as described.
JOSEPH M. COTEY.
