摘要

Improvements in the construction of ships for the transport of dry bulk and automobiles, characterized in that several intermediate rotating covers are arranged, whose turning point moves away from the side as the cover is higher, and said rotating covers rest on the referred pivot point and suspended from a connecting rods, which rotate in a transverse plane around the point from which the cover is suspended, and which slide in channels in the immediately superior deck from which they are hung, except the highest connecting rod, which instead of sliding in a channel is housed in an "ad hoc" tube arranged in the upper deck, and which is the rod that supports all the others taking the suspension effort to the lateral length of the upper deck hatch, which it will be conveniently reinforced at those points; the upper crank may also slide in a channel placed transversely in the upper cover; the number of turning points of each deck, as well as the number of rows of connecting rods, will be variable and the one that suits depending on the length and width of each hold; the two lower half covers overlap in their central part, depending on the dimension of the overlap of the boom strut, and said overlap may become null; the fixed parts of the covers will be perforated for the free passage of the grain through them; each lower deck half, in its "raised" position shall be watertight at its contact edge with the upper deck hatch length and with the side bulkheads, and in itself, up to a height not less than one third of the winery stanchion counted from the upper deck; the other revolving covers, except the lowest one, will have a central hatch of variable width, according to the height of the roof and which increases with that height.
