Abstract

930,284. Torpedoes and like underwater devices. CLEVITE CORPORATION. Jan. 10, 1962 [Jan. 10, 1961], No. 1002/62. Class 9 (2). A torpedo having a nose section housing a transducer 33 as in Specification 813,278 is provided with means to insulate the transducer acoustically. The nose section 31 consists of a metal annulus 25 closed by a flexible resilient rubber diaphragm 29 and a metal frame member 31, the chamber 23 thus formed being filled with a liquid, such as castor oil, which transmits acoustic signals. The transducer is secured to the member 31 which is spaced from the bulk head 17 of the torpedo hull 15 by a part 36 moulded of rubber-like material 37 and engaged in peripheral grooves 19 of the bulkhead. The annulus 25 has an inturned flange 27 embedded in the material 37 and spaced from a retaining plate 35 also embedded in the material. Preferably the material 37 contains air pockets. An electric lead 40 to the transducer is taken through a resilient tube 39 connecting two sleeves 49, 51. The flange 27 may be replaced by a retaining member extending completely across the annulus in parallel relationship with the retaining plate. A second transducer (not shown) is mounted in the hull. U.S.A. Specification 2,887,671 also is referred to.
