Abstract

A floating device (50) attached to both sides of a ship is to improve buoyancy and serve as an equipment of rescue in case of capsizal or a distress signal in the space as required. The device includes a body (10), an air inlet (30) and a pair of air outlets, a longitudinal band (20), a plurality of uniformly spaced holes, and auxiliary ropes and main ropes (24).

Description

A FLOATING DEVICE FOR A SHIP
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to a floating device for a ship, and in particular, to a floating device which is suitable for preventing accident and which may be used as a distress signal, if required.
BACKGROUND ART
A conventional shipping casualty have accompanied a tremendous loss of human and material resources because the ship was sunken to the bottom of the sea and a sudden sinking was not able to utilize equipments for rescue.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a floating device which is attached to the both sides of a ship to improve buoyancy thereof and serve as an equipment of rescue in case of capsizal or a distress signal in the. space as required.
In order to achieve above-noted object, the present invention resides in a floating device for a ship comprising ;
A body having a space to fill air ; An air inlet formed' on the center portion of the body and a pair of air outlets on both sides of said inlet ;
A longitudinal band mounted on said body ;
A plurality of uniformly spaced holes formed on - said longitudinal band ; A plurality of auxiliary ropes having predetermined length to be fastened on said holes ;
A plurality of main ropes, one end of each main rope being connected with at .-least two auxiliary ropes through a connecting ring, the other end being fastened on the deck of the ship through pulleys fixed on the lower surface and on the deck of the ship.
There is also provided a net on the outer surface of the body. The volume of the net corresponds to the most expanding volume of the
- l - body.
It is preferred that the size of the inlet be larger than that of the two outlets and the color of the body be red.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The subject matter which is regarded as the invention is set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may be better understood with reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which ;
Fig.l is a bottom view of a floating device according to the invention when used in preventing accident of a ship ;
Fig.2 is a perspective view of the floating device according to the invention ;
Fig.3 is a front view of the floating device which is installed on a ship ; and
Fig.4 is a pictorial view of the floating device where a ship sinks in the water.
BEST MODE FOR CARRΗNG OUT THE INVENTION
Referring now to Fig.l and 2, there is provided a floating device 50. The floating device 50 includes a body 10 in which a space is provided to fill ah- and is formed by synthetic resin or cloth used in a tent in order not to be sunken by water or air. It also includes a longitudinal band 20 on the upper portion thereof so that it retains a pillow shape when air is injected.
A plurality of holes 21 is provided at regular intervals on the band 20 to fix auxiliary ropes 22 having predetermined length. Each connecting ring 23 enables at least two auxiliary ropes 22 to be connected to a main rope 24. Mounted on all outer surface of the body 10 is a rope net 25 of which volume is to meet the most expanding volume of the body 10. There are also provided an air inlet 30 formed on the center portion of the body 10 and a pair of air outlets 31 on both sides of the air inlet 30/ The lids of the inlet 30 and outlets 31 are integrally attached in well-known type. It is preferred that the size of the inlet 30 be larger than that of the two outlets 31.
Refeπ ng now to Fig.3 which illustrates the floating device installed on a ship, a plurality of pulleys 40 are mounted and uniformly spaced on both sides of the ship. The position of the pulleys is lower than the water level when the ship has a full capacity of cargo. Each main rope 24 passes through the pulley 40 and then it is wound and fixed to the conventional device on the deck(not shown).
While the floating device 50 is partially immersed on both sides of the ship, additional buoyancy is generated. This additional buoyancy will aid to prevent a ship from sinking. Especially, since the floating device 50 is located on both sides of the ship, it is easy to keep its balance against any lateral forces by wind or waves. Furthermore, the submersion of a ship may be delayed or prevented as the case may be when a ship lists. In the meantime, the net 25 around the body 10 may be utilized for lifesaving of sufferers. Although a ship is totally sunken in the water by accident, this device 50 enables it to be retained in a given depth and not to be submerged on the bottom of the sea so that it makes easy salvage of e.xpensive ship. In case of drifting by engine or any other troubles, this device 50 can be used for a distress signal by putting on the deck of a ship, rapidly injecting hot air through the air inlet 30 while the air outlet 31 is open to expel cold air already filled therein, plugging the air inlet 30 and outlets 31 and fastening the main rope 24 in one end on a fixture of the deck. In this case, the color of the body 10 is preferably red which is a color of a distress signal.
Also in a conventional submarine, the depth of water has been regulated by a method of going or coming of water in the body thereof so that great loss of energy has been made. According to the other embodiment of the present invention as illustrated in Fig.4, the depth of water can be regulated by a method of tightening or loosening the main ropes 24 from the body of the submarine so that the loss of energy is greatly reduced. In this case, , the net 25 is not required around the body 10. From the foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, it will be apparent that many modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
