Title: Submarine and Submersible Apparatus for Launching Torpedoes.
Inventor: DRZEWIECKI STEPHAN JOHN JOSEPH
Filed: 1901-11-18
Granted: 1902-03-06
Abstract: 23,269. Drzewiecki, S. J. J. Nov. 18. Torpedoes. - Relates to launching - apparatus. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation, Fig. 1<a> a plan, and Fig. 2 an end elevation. The launching-cradle is carried at each end by two trolleys 52, which run upon clipping-rails 50 fixed to the side of the ship. The trolleys are connected to chains 55, 56, which pass round pulleys 58 and are carried on drums 53, 60, which wind in opposite directions upon the shaft 54, the latter being provided with a worm gear 59 for rotating it. The quadrant 45, which is the device employed to release the torpedo from the cradle, is connected by a universal joint to a rod 62 having at its upper end a yoke 64, which, by means of rods 64<a>, is caused to move in unison with the sight bar 67. The body of the torpedo is held in the cradle 1 by two bands 6, which are pivoted at their lower ends to the cradle. It is also held at its rear end by two clipping-levers 39 and a projecting piece 21, the device being shown in sectional plan and to a larger scale in Fig. 7. The release of the lever 39 is automatically effected by the quadrant 45 as the torpedo swings laterally outwards about its rear end. The quadrant being set by the sight 67 to the required position for release, as soon as the torpedo has swung outwards to the required position, the quadrant releases the lever 35, which in turn releases the sliding drum 31, and this is moved by its spring 36 inwards, and thereby unlocks the retaining-lever 24, whereupon the spring 22 withdraws the projecting piece 21 from the torpedo, and also acts through the connecting-rods 42 to swing the clipping-levers 39 away from the torpedo. The torpedo is caused to swing outwards by compressed air, which first acts upon a piston to withdraw the locking-bolts 8 from the two bands 6, and then passes into a second cylinder 13, where it acts through the rods 14, 17 and throws the lever 16, and with it the torpedo, into an outward position, as shown in Fig. 1<a>. The retaining-lever 24, in its rearward movement, acts by a cord 44 on the starting-lever of the torpedo propellers, so that the torpedo moves forward the instant it is released.
