Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[OOlJThe utility model belongs to the field of sit-on-top kayaks with scupper holes. In particular, it is a universal and adjustable seat with aluminium frame for sit-on-top kayaks with two scupper holes in the sitting area.

BACKGROUND

[002] Sit-on-top kayak is one type of kayaks. The players can kayak on either single or double water courses. This sport trains the muscle of the player's entire body and assists to improve the endurance. While kayaking, the player can also enjoy the outdoor scenery.

[003] However, there are different sizes of the sit-on-top kayaks with variable distance between the scupper holes and sitting area. Consequently, the size of the seats will also vary. When there is a need to replace or repair the seats, it is very difficult to find the right size of the seats to fit a particular sit-on-top kayak with scupper holes. This invention is to solve this problem.

SUMMARY OF UTILITY MODEL

[004] This utility model is to provide a universal and adjustable vintage seat for sit-on-top kayaks with scupper holes. There will be two sizes of the back seat frame and bottom seat of this utility model to fit the sit-on-top kayaks with variable width of scupper holes and sitting area.

[005] In order to serve the mentioned purpose, this utility model discloses the following technical solution. This is a universal and adjustable vintage seat for sit-on-top kayaks with scupper holes, including back seat and bottom seat. One end of the said bottom seat has a rear support frame while the other end of the seat has front support legs. The end of the bottom seat that is close to rear support frame has rotation pin and the back seat frame is connected to the bottom seat through rotation pin. There is an adjustable nylon strap which connects with the top end of back seat frame to the one end of the bottom seat that is close to the front support leg. The end of the bottom seat which is close to rear support frame is also welded with transverse brace. Transverse brace is connected to three-way plastic connector. The bottom end of three-way plastic connector is installed with rear support leg. Rear support leg is worn with rubber water stopper.

[006] Optimally, the rear support legs and front support legs are tubular structure. Furthermore, the bottom of both rear and front support legs have round tubing inserts at the bottom to prevent scratches.

[007] Optimally, the transverse brace has sliding chute. As such, the sliding connection is created between the three-way plastic connector and the transverse brace.

[008] Optimally, there are two three-way plastic connectors and rear support legs each. One three-way plastic connector and one rear support leg is to be matched together when installing.

[009] Optimally, the back seat has water proof fabric backrest and the bottom seat has water proof fabric cushion.

[010] Optimally, in order to further secure the seat to the sit-on-top kayaks, the bottom end of the rear support legs have one small hole to allow a ring lock to clip through so the seat does not come off the kayak when the kayak is flipped over.

[011] Optimally, there is another adjustable strap with brass clip at the end which shares the same screw as the adjustable nylon strap on top end of the back seat to secure the seat to the anchor located on the both sides of the sitting area of the sit-on-top kayaks [012] Optimally, all of the utility model is made of aluminium.

[013] Compare with the existing technology, the advantage of the utility model is comprised of back seat and bottom seat using a scientific structure. The sliding connection between three-way plastic connector and the transverse brace allows the rear support legs to be adjustable in accordance with the position of scupper holes. Rubber water stoppers are widely applicable as they are able to fit in scupper holes with different diameters. The declination angle between the rear support frame and rear support legs allows a triangle to be form when the seat is installed on the sit-on-top kayaks with scupper holes. This greatly increases the stability. The rotation design between the back seat and the bottom seat allows the back seat to be folded which saves space for storage and transportation purposes.
