2 | Assembly for launching bodies from an underwater platform | US10456163 | 2003-06-06 | US06871610B1 | 2005-03-29 | Carlos E. Galliano |
An assembly for launching bodies from an underwater platform having a pressure hull, and an outer hull subject to free flooding. The assembly includes a module having a proximal end outboard of the pressure hull portion of the platform, a distal end disposed proximate and in alignment with a launch opening in the outer hull portion, and a chamber in the module extending from the distal end of the module to proximate the proximal end of the module, the module chamber being adapted to receive and retain one of the bodies. Support structure on the platform retains the module. A pump on the platform is in communication with water outside the pressure hull, and an impulse tank on the platform is in communication with the pump. A manifold is in communication with the impulse tank for directing outflow of water from the impulse tank to the chamber to eject the body from the chamber. | ||||||

A vehicle launch assembly for underwater platforms includes a water tank mounted on the platform, and a plunger movably disposed in the tank and dividing the tank into first and second zones, the first zone being in communication with a. water environment in which the platform is disposed, and the second zone being in communication with a launch tube inlet line mounted on the platform. An actuator is connected to the plunger and is operable to move the plunger in the tank. A triggering device initiates operation of the actuator, moving the plunger in the tank to push water from the tank second zone to the launch tube inlet line to eject a vehicle from the launch tube, or moving the plunger to enlarge the tank second zone to draw water thereinto from a valve in communication with the water environment and the tank. | ||||||

6 | Air venting device in a container subjected to uncontrolled oscillations | US166001 | 1993-12-14 | US5388545A | 1995-02-14 | Pierre Escarrat |
An air venting device is provided in a container with a sealed closure sucted to uncontrolled oscillations and designed to be filled by water. The air venting device includes an outside tube with a water presence indicator and an isolating valve to close off the outside tube in response to the water presence indicator and an inside tube with two open ends located at two different points in the container. One of the ends of the inside tube is fitted with a closure flap to close off the opening of the tube once the water in the container reaches a predetermined level through the action of a float. This end allows the air to enter even when the container is subjected to oscillations and so long as it is not completely full. This air venting device may be used in torpedo tubes of a submarine, for example. | ||||||

13 | System for shock hardening a torpedo nose fairing bearing plate assembly | US778069 | 1997-01-16 | US5690044A | 1997-11-25 | Christa M. Reise; James C. Butts |
A system for shock hardening the nose fairing bearing plate assembly of a rpedo by controlling the deformation of the bearing plate under shock loads. A stop bolt within a torpedo tube engages the bearing plate to prevent relative movement between the torpedo tube and the torpedo and to transfer loads between the torpedo housing and the torpedo tube. The system includes providing a tang on the bearing plate to increase bending resistance of the plate and provide a bearing surface which more directly transfers loads from the stop bolt through the bearing plate and into the housing. Additionally, a relief slot is machined into the bearing plate to ensure the bearing plate deforms towards the torpedo and does not interfere with retraction of the torpedo from the tube. Finally, a nose fairing restraint prevents the nose fairing from rotating above the plane of the bearing plate when the deformation of the plate prevents the bearing plate from engaging the nose fairing. | ||||||

A facility for permitting launch performance tests to be conducted on an erwater vehicle, such as a torpedo, includes a housing having an opening therethrough defining a tubular chamber for receiving a vehicle therein. A piston is also positioned within the tubular chamber. A link disposed between the piston and the vehicle has a pair of opposing end portions connected with the piston and the vehicle, respectively. A channel is positioned adjacent to the housing and has water flowing therein at a predetermined velocity. The water within the channel communicates with the tubular chamber to allow water flowing within the channel to enter the tubular chamber and surround the vehicle with the vehicle at its rest position. A drive device is operable to move the piston through the tubular chamber a preselected distance sufficient to move the vehicle and the water surrounding the vehicle out of the tubular chamber and into the channel. The link is connected with the piston and the vehicle to permit the vehicle to move both laterally and in rotational fashion within the tubular chamber with the vehicle at its rest position and as the vehicle moves through the tubular chamber in response to hydrodynamic forces acting on the vehicle generated by the flowing channel water and also to stop the advancement of the vehicle after the piston has moved its preselected distance. | ||||||

The launching of a vehicle having front and back ends, from the submerged ll of a vessel that is moving forward through water by allowing the vehicle to pivot outboard clear of the hull, preferably from a launchway cavity, into the flow stream where it is released to move under its own propulsion and/or buoyancy forces. A first mechanism is carried on a submerged exterior surface of the hull and connected to the front portion of the vehicle, for initially supporting the vehicle front portion adjacent to the hull in the direction of hull travel, and then selectively releasing the front portion of the vehicle from the hull so that the front portion can move laterally away from the hull into the flow stream. A second mechanism is connected between the hull and the back portion of the vehicle, for initially providing stationary support to the back portion of the vehicle adjacent to the hull while the first mechanism supports the front portion, and then providing pivoting support to the back portion as the vehicle front portion thereby swings away from the hull. Structure is provided to cooperate with the first mechanism, for urging the front portion of the vehicle laterally away from the hull as the front portion is released by the first mechanism. | ||||||
