WIND-SHELTER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov- 13, 1906.
Application filed April 6,1906. Serial No. 310,394.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, KARL VON HELMOLT, director, a citizen of the United States, residing at 51 Bismarckstrasse, Bremen, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in or Relating to Wind-Shelters and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to shelters or screens for use on the decks of passenger-boats, and has for its object to provide places on deck where passengers may be protected from the wind.
As a rule owing to the houses or structures on the decks of passenger-steamers not being altogether in a straight line there are a few places on deck where the passengers can sit and be sheltered from the wind but these laces are not sufficiently numerous to satisfy the demand for sheltered seats. means of the arrangement hereinafter described it is possible to provide a suflicient number of such seats. The arrangement chiefly consists in providing removable transverse walls which may be conveniently placed between one decksay the promenadedeckand the transverse girders or beams of the deck above it.
The walls can be made of wood or similar material or canvas mounted upon a suitable framework. In such cases the lower edges of the walls are provided with pins which engage corresponding recesses in the deck, and their upper edges are detachably secured to the girders of the deck above by means of bolts and thumb-nuts or in some other suitable manner. If desired, the protective walls may be in the form of canvas sheets, in which case they are stretched, by means of ropes, between suitable eyes, cleats, or the like, secured to the deck-girders and to the deck.
In the accompanying drawings, in which the same parts are denoted by the same reference characters throughout the views, Figure 1 is a perspective View of a promenadedeck provided with protective walls in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of one ofsuch walls, showing the manner in which the same is mounted;
.and Fig. 3 is a side elevation of one of the walls, showing the same swung upwardly out of position for use.
Detachable fastenings are provided for the bottoms of the walls on the deck a and for their upper extremities up on the cross-girders or beams b, so that the screens 0 are arranged between the two decks to suit requirements at any desired distance from each other. As will be seen from the drawings, these protective walls or screens, for greater convenience of the passengers using them, can be provided with openings cl, which may be fittedwith fixed or movable windows. Further, the walls may be provided with shelves or holders e, which may be adapted to receive tumblers or other articles.
The preferred arrangement of my windscreens is shown in detail in Figs. 2 and 3. In order to secure a complete adaptation of the screen to the wall of the deck-house and the upper deck, I prefer to provide a fixed projecting ridge To the upper part of this ridge f the screen a is fastened by means of hinges g g and when in position for use, as in Fig. 2, can be secured to the lower deck a by means of bolts h h, fitting into corresponding recesses provided in the deck.
I prefer to arrange the distance of two neighboring screens in such a manner that when the screen is unbolted and swung upward toward the upper deck, as shown in Fig. 3, its lower end will just reach the upper part of the ridge f belonging to the next screen. This part I also provide with recesses for the bolts h h, so that the screen can easily be secured in this position when out of use.
It will be understood that the details may be varied without departing from the spirit of this invention.
Having thus described my invention, I claimv 1. A wind-shelter for use on board ship consisting of the combination with short pro tective walls of means for detachably securing the said walls between one deck and the girders or beams of the deck above.
2. A wind-shelter consisting of the combination with short protective walls containing windows of means for detachably securing said walls between one deck and the girders or beams of the deck above.
3. A wind-shelter consisting of the combination with short protective walls containing ICC windows and being provided with ledges adapted to support tumblers bottles and such like of means for detachably securing said walls between one deck and the beams of the deck above.
4. A wind-shelter consisting of the combination with short protective walls of a fixed projecting ridge, such as f, running up the side of the deck-house and alon the upper deck of hinges connecting the said protective walls with the upper horizontal part of said ridge and bolts provided at the lower end of the protective wall and adapted to cooperate with corresponding recesses in the lower deck and in the ridge belonging to the neighboring 15 wall.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name 1n presence of two subscribing witnesses.
