SHIPWRECK-BU'OY.
Specification of letters Patent. Application tiled March 2, 1912. Serial No. @$81,220.
Patented .any e, raie.
A shipwreck buoys and the object of 'the inport.
vention is to devise a simple means of indicating the locality in which a ship hasv 'been sunk and it consists essentially of a buoy preferably of spherical formation and resting in a socket support located' on a' suitable portion of the ship and a reel located Within the buoy around which a cord or other flexible connection is wound and connected at its free en d to the ship as hereinafter more particularly explained by the atollowing specification. i i
Figure l, -is a view of a Ship showing my device located thereon. Fig. 2, is a View of a ship sunk and the indicating buoy on the surface of the water. 3, 1s an enlarged pmspectifve'detail of the uoy and its sup- Fig. 4, is an enlarged sectional view through the buoy and support. Fig. 5, is a further enlarged sectional View through the buoy at right angles to Fig. 4.
In the drawings like letters .of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.
A is a ship.
B is a socket support secured to the deck house or any other suitable exposed portion of theship to which it' is secured by bolts B L C isa spherical float comprising two seggispherical portions C and C2, the abutting edges of which fit one Within the other and one semi-spherical vportion bein provided with lugs .C2 having threaded ori ces C".
C4 are bolts extending through the abutting semi-sphere into the threaded orifices of the lugs C3. The upper semi-sphere C! is provided with a partition C7V forming'an air tight compartment, C8.
C" 1s a reel journaled in suitable bearings C10 formed in the lower semi-sphere Si.,
C is a cord or other flexible connection its lower free end to an eye C12 secured to the roof of the deck house or other part of wound around the reel C9 and connected hat 5o the ship on which the' device is supported. An orifice C13 is provided to allow the cord to pass through the wall of 'the buoy. t
It will be readily seen that should the vship sink, the buoy C will be carried on the surface of the Water, the cord gradually,
winding oi' the reel as the ship sinks to the' bottom. It will thus be seen that the buoy will Heat on the surface of the Water and indicate the location in which the shi is sunk. If desired the name or number o the ship may be indicated on the buoy.
What I claim as my invention is.y AIn a device of the class described, a comprising two semi-spherical abutting por: tions, one semiespherical portion being rovided' with lugs having .threaded ori ces, bolts passing through the abutting portions and into the threaded orifices of said lugs, an airtight compartment formed in the upper one of said semi-spherical portions, a reel in the other of said portions and a `cord wound ,around the-reel and extending through the wall of the buoyas and for thepnrpose specified.
