Definitions

  • the present invention has for its object a machine resembling both a projectilehaving aerial sustaining means, on the one hand, and a submarine torpedo, on the other hand.
  • said bomb which is provided with aerial a sustaining means will be dropped at a certain distance or the ship'to be torpedoed, so that it encounters the water at a relatively short distance from the target.
  • the sustaining device is connected to the body of the projectile in such a manner that it breaks away on impact with the water.
  • the bomb is provided with members for keeping it immersed, similar to those of a torpedo and, optionally. with an under-water propelling member (flywheel, rocket, air engine, etc.)
  • Fig. 1 shows an elevation of the torpedo-bomb with its wings.
  • Fig. 2 shows a detail on a fastening pivot for the wings.
  • the wings t are, for example, connected to the shell of the torpedo 52 by the pivot i which penetrates into the socket 2 fixed to the shell.
  • the pivot i is held in the socket Z by a rotating bolt 3 keyed on a pin provided with a lever 4 which is connected to the rod 1 having a spring 8 and a trigger 6.
  • the pin of the bolt 8 carries a second lever B which operates the starting lever H through the instrumentality of the rod 9 and spring Hi.
  • the applications can optionally be combined with the propulsion of the machine in the air by means of a rocket.
  • a device of thecharacter described comprising a torpedo, a tubular member mounted thereon, aerial sustaining means, a second tubular member connected to said aerial sustaining means and slidably mounted within said first mentioned tubular member, a semi-circular member pivotally mounted on one side of said first mentioned tubular member, said tubular members each having an opening in one side so arranged as to permit said semi-circular member to enter both at the same time in the capacity of a key for retainand the greater vulnerability of the vital parts of a trigger mounted on said torpedo actuated upon 0 contact with water upon' submergence of said torpedo, an arm extending from said trigger, a second arm for rotating said semi-cir ular member pivotally connected at one end to said first arm and a spring tending to retain said semicircular memberin said openings.
