ABSTRACT:
A marine capsule for sea rescue and transportation having a generally spherical configuration and on its sides hermetically closed hatches of tempered glass and a sun-reflecting signal-sending film. At its top are four larger diameter hatches, two of which preferably permit access of persons or equipment into the capsule. Also there may be waterproof lateral access windows or openings for persons without seafaring experience. The other two overhead hatches have a ventilation system, which admits air but not water. A stowable stabilizing element has members which can be telescoped by a gear and crank system so as not to interfere with handling of the capsule when not in use, but to extend when it is afloat. Radial fins ending in a peripheral fin protrude from the lower outside of the capsule, and an air chamber is built into its body. Other interior equipment includes a seat extending all around, storage compartments, water and toilet.
