Marine rescue capsule

A marine lifesaving capsule of substantially spherical configuration carrying on the upper third of its body portholes which are watertight but allow the penetration of solar light;

• having doors or hatches for access disposed either on the top or the sides of its body;
• a series of radial fins on the bottom limited by a peripheral fin for stabilizing the capsule;
• an air chamber surrounding it the upper edge of which coincides substantially with the flotation line of the capsule;
• a telescoping stabilizing counterweight having its axis coinciding with the vertical axis of the capsule;
• a system of ventilation provided in at least two upper hatches of the capsule;
• and a ring-shaped seat under which several compartments are set off for storage of dehydrated provisions, water, navigational equipment, toilet, etc.,
• the said portholes arranged on the upper third of the capsule being hermetically sealed against water by means of glass provided with a reflecting surface impeding the direct passage of solar rays and also serving to emit signals.
