Description

ROUNDED LIFE BOAT

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of Life Boats.

More particularly, the invention relates to the field of life boat during emergency.

Even more particularly, the invention provides a rounded life boat which can neither sink nor topple even in extreme conditions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Life boats are used for the purposes of rescue during emergency situation on high sQLi or river. There are already various kinds of life boats available in the maritime industries which are used for the purposes of saving life in sea during emergency. There have been much evident ship drowning in high seas and rivers and passengers were not saved due to lack of life boats, either the life boat are less in number or the ship does not have enough space to accommodate more number of life boats. Ships also do not accommodate life boats due to the shape of the life boat and its space consuming capacity. Although ships comprises of life boats in enough numbers but some life boats does not survive in high waves in seas and rivers. Sea having high waves drowns the life boat due to its small and open structure and hence results into the drowning of the persons on the, life boat. Some life boats are not able to survive for more days because either they are based on air pump which loses its air eventually. Life boats are normally either made of tube like structure or in shape of small boats to carry 4 to 5 persons. Normally the ship are able to accommodate such life boats which are small in size and consumes less space but that again results into carrying less number of per¾>ns with high amount of risk. Some life boats does not have capacity to store water and food for a longer period because either they are open in structure which make a way for sea water to enter and spoil the reserved food or water.

Therefore it is very important to provide solutions which can solve the above problems in innovative manner. The present invention aims to provide solution for the above mentioned problems, and provide a better secured, efficient, cost effective and less space consuming life boat for the maritime security in high seas and rivers.

Further reference may be made toUnited States Patent number 5,027,735 by Labrador, dated 02.07.1991, titled "Kasipagan sail boat". What has been created is the fastest sail boat that can act as a tugboat or industrially used to pull a water turbine for the production of electricity or compressed air, as compared to the capabilities of the prior arts of equal size and form. This is attained by the use of water as counterweight contained and locked-in inside an impervious pipe which may be of the same length as the boat, which is attached at the side or preferably under the hulls of a catamaran type boat, or which is attached to each lower side of a mono-hull boat;— by erecting as many large square sails as possible along the longitudinal axis of the boat in an arrangement to form an aggregate dwarf sail to bring down the centroid of the aggregate wind force close to the level of the boat to minimize the overturning moment of the wind upon the boat, thereby maximizing wind contact within the stability limits of the boat;— by making the hulls vertically thin to minimize resistance thru the water;~by adding a short float booster pipe on top of the main floater pipes, which extends beyond the front and rear ends of the hull to provide extra buoyancy on the sinking side when the boat is tilted too far. Another reference may be made to United States Patent number 4,841,901 by McGlew , et al., dated 27.06.1989, titled "Life boat support structure". This invention relates to a support structure for devices particularly life boats and similar apparatus which is weight operated comprises a plurality of support members, each or some of which may be telescopic which are pivotally interconnected adjacent their associated interconnected ends. Each successive upper one of a pair of such members is pivotal relative to the next adjacent lowermost one about a substantially horizontal axis. The pivoting is controlled by a control mechanism which is operated from a fluid pressure source produced by the weight of the elements upon each other. The control mechanism includes means for controlling the amount of tilt of each upper elealent relative to an adjacent lower element and for the control of the precise angularity of the two elements relative to each other during the pivotal movement. The construction is such that a life boat may be supported in either a lower or an elevated position on a large ship and the individual support members may be articulated relative to each other so as to pivot the boat outwardly away from the vessel or ship in any manner which is desired. Thus if the ship is on an even keel some of the support members may be held without pivoting and merely one or two of them pivoted to lower the boat to a position in which it contacts the water line. In thcii cases in which it is desired that the boat be swung outwardly a large amount away from the vessel before it is pivoted downwardly then only the lowermost two elements are pivoted relative to each other, for example. The feature of the construction is that the weight of the life boat itself will cause operation of the controls for the pivoting and for the control of the positioning of each element relative to each other during the proper lowering of the boat into the water.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

It should be noted that the particular description and embodiments set forth in the spe^cification below are merely exemplary of the wide variety and arrangement of instructions which can be employed with the present invention. The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. All the features disclosed in this specification may be replaced by similar other or alternative features performing similar or same or equivalent purposes. Thus, unless expressly stated otherwise, they all are within the scope of present invention. Various modifications or substitutions are also possible without departing from the scope or spirit of the present invention. Therefore it is to be fonderstood that this specification has been described by way of the most preferred embodiments and for the purposes of illustration and not limitation.

This present invention provides a unique rounded life boat which can neither sink nor topple even in extreme weather conditions in seas and rivers. There are two ball like structures in this rounded life boat. The small ball structure is fitted inside the bigger ball structure and then bearings are fitted on the outer surface of inner ball structure which prevents both the balls from collision with each other and small inner ball str^f ture can move freely inside the outer bigger ball structure and it prevents the persons sitting inside the inner ball structure from toppling.

This rounded life boat comprises of certain other life saving features which have not been present in the prior art. The invention comprises of features extra oxygen cylinders, and capacity to accommodate up to 'x'numbers of persons in it. Moreover the rounded life boat is covered and is in ball like structure which have two ball structure namely the inner ball structure and the outer ball structure connecting each other with bearings which prevents the two ball like structure to collide with each oth r. Since, inner ball structure is independent of the outer ball structure, it remains straight with slight movement even if the outer ball structure is hit by river current, sea waves, tsunami waves, typhoon or tornado like situations. The impact is taken by outer ball structure shielding inner ball structure and its occupants from falling over.The inner ball structure can balance even in 360° movement of outer ball structure and work in any condition. Even though the life boat will be moving in 360 degree the person sitting inside the life boat will be static and will always be in the upright direction. The buoyancy factor of the life boat will keep the life boat always in trie floating position over the surface of the water.

The outer ball structure and inner ball structure of this invention are built with a light metal or fiber glass. Inner surface of outer ball structure is coated with composite layer made of titanium, steel or any other light metal or solid non-metal. Lower half of the outer ball structure is heavier due to addition of bottom structure. The shape of the outer ball structure can be extended to help the life boat in floating and steering.

Total weight and counter weight of the life boat is built into the system by default of loCtoJon of passangers and accessories in the lower end of both the balls. Both the inner ball structure and the outer ball structure comprises of air tight hatch on the top. The outer ball structure has air valve at the top and also a propulsion system at the bottom. This rounded life boat further comprises of bearings or mechanical structure between inner and outer ball structure which prevents both the inner and outer ball structures from colliding with each other. This invention further comprises of rubber brakes which helps in keeping both the ball structures static. The air tight hatch in this invention are used to close the outer ball structure and inner ball structure in emergency like Tsunami, Flood, Typhoon, Hurricane etc. and safely carrying the persons inside the inner ball structure. The position of the person inside the inner ball will be always in upright position.

The rounded life boat is static when it is loaded or unloaded on ships and the brakes are applied so that the movement of inner ball structure can be restricted and the doors can be aligned to be open for the movement of persons. The invention comprises of weight balancing position which balances the weight of the life boat automatically. The inner ball structure of the invention has weight of the persons sitting inside and the outer ball structure has weight of a propulsion system which helps in keeping it at its position. In calm water, due to weight at the bottom of the inner ball structure and weight of the propulsion system at the bottom of the outer wall, keeps both in line. When the rounded life boat is in turbulent water then it is unlocked and the structures are in free movement stage in order to adjust itself against any extreme movements.

Besides the oxygen already available in the inner ball structure, oxygen cylinders are kept inside the inner ball structure to be used in case of emergency. In calm water, air valve fitted in the outer ball structure shall be opened to let fresh air inside. These valves could be automatic or manually operated.

The life boat shall not be propelled in rough water. Once the roughness subsided and the sea/water is calm, the brakes shall be applied and inner and outer structures shall be stabilized. Hatches shall be opened/windows on either sides to be used to have a clear view of the path to steer the life boat. Now, the propulsion rod will be attached to the propeller and the life boat shall be propelled using human muscle. To facilitate easy steering and negotiation in water, the lower ball structure has been hydrodynamically designed which will help guide the lifeboat to move forward. This rounded life life boat further comprises of a doors on the outer and inner ball structures , chairs, valves, paddle, engine, propulsion system, and other equipment necessary during extreme emergency situation in sea and river.

The size of the life boat can be customized to accommodate any number of persons depending upon the requirementand as per the application/user.

The inner ball structure can be of various shapes like cube, cuboid etc. and the outer surface of outer ball structure can also be of any shape required for stability and steering, keeping the spherical shape of the inner side of the outer ball structure intact.
