Well, underwater blast physics was still poorly understood by commoners at this time... The author probably saw this idea as an attempt to circumvent the anti-torpedo bulges on warships.


P.S. Or, considering how much effort he put into re-phrasing his invention in the patent, more likely that he just got the idea and wanted to patent all possible analogues, so if something remotely similar would be made practical, he could claim the rights.
