潜水艦人命救助引揚裝置に就て

抄録

The apparatus is to quickly haul the vessel bodily above water in order to rescue the crew in sunken submarines. Every submarine is attached with a special fitting with a projection which a leading wire and a bouy are joined to. The wire and the bouy have connection to a telephone bouy. If the vessel founders and the telephone bouy lifts, the above mentioned bouy and wire can be picked up. From one side of a salvage vessel another fitting with a tenon is led downward along the wire and clutched to the above mentioned fitting on the submarine. A tackle is joined to this fitting and the fall is led over the salvage vessel to another submarine hunged on the opposite side of the former.
A suitable number of such apparatuses are provided on the wrecked submarine, the salvage vessel, and the hunged submarine. On the completion of all apparatuses, the hunged submarine is sunk down by flooding its inside. The weight of the hunged submarine and some pull given by winches are available in hauling the wrecked submarine upon water surface. Afterwards the sunken hunged submarine is again lifted above water by applying pneumatic air.
