Figures 4a and 4b to 8a and 8b show several embodiments of a mounting system accordin~ to the invention, where 4a to 8a show the mouldings, and 4b to 8b show the detachable mounting members associated with the profiles shown in 4a to 8a.
Figure l shows an inflatable rubber boat l provided with an accessory-mounting system according to the invention. These accessories may be lifting rings, front grips, rain-awnings, seats, oarlocks and the like.
Such a mountin~ system includes one or more profiled mouldings 2 in the form o a slide-bar and forming a strip, preferably of flexible material such as neoprene.
These profiled mouldings may be secured, for example, by bonding to the floats of the boat, In the figure, the mouldings 2 are disposed in a horizontal and a vertical orientation, respectively, It is understood that these mouldings could be disposed elsewhere if desired.
:~ .
As illustrated in ~reater detail in Figures 2 and 3, the profiled moulding 2 profiled in the form of a ~2~0 s~lide-bar has a T-shaped longtitudinal groove 3, A
mounting device 4, which is removably mountable on the moulding 2 includes a member 5 forming an anchor-block, 5~
which is adapted to engage the groove 3 and has a complementary shape to the groove, and an outer member 6 formin~ an accessory fitting or being part of the accessory to be mounted. The lower surface 7 of the member 5 rests on the outer surface 8 of the profiled moulding 2, on either side of the groove 3. For this purpose, the surfaces 7 and 8 have complementary shapes.
The outer member 6 may be removably secured to the part forming the anchDr-block 5 by appropriate nleans, for example nuts and bolts lO. Mounting is dDne by lockin~
the two members 5 and 6 onto the profiled moulding 2.
The lip-profiled edges ll of the groove 3 are preferably flexible to permit insertion of the anchor-block 5 into the groove in the desired position anywhere along the profiled moulding 2. Thus an accessory may be removably mounted on the rubber boat l.
It is pointed out that the shape of the outer members 6 should preferably be suited to the accessory onto which they must fit. Figures 2 and 3 show by way of example two accessory-fitting devices 6. The front surfaces of the member according to Figure 2 have orifiees 14 by which a grip or a lifting ring lS may be locked on, as is shown in Figure l t The accessory-' :, ~``~''~;'' ., ' ~
^`` 1 3 ~ 0 fitting device according to Figure 3 is adapted as an oarlock and is equipped for this purpose with a journal-forming element 16. It may be seen that in this case the surfaces 7 and 8 in contact with the part 6 and with the profiled moulding are flat.
~ eferring to Figures 4a to 8a and 4b to 8b, other alternative embodiments of the sys~em according to the invention are described.
In the embodiment according to Figures 4a and 4b, the slide-bar element of the profiled moulding 2 comprises a T-shaped rib 18. The detachable, adjustable device for mounting of an accessory on the profiled member 2 is illustrated in Figure 4b and comprises two parts l9 and 20 which are symmetric in relation to the axis of the rib 18. These two members each lock onto one of the two branches 21 of the T-shaped rib 18. For this:purposej each member includes cavities which fit the shape of a branch 21. The two parts are assembled by means of cotter-pins 22 and their nuts 23. To permit ~; 20 passage of the cotter-pins 22, the members 19 and 20 have t~ransverse holes 24. I:t is~ readily seen that when assembled, the two members l9 and 20, when in place on ' ~ .

the rib 18, lock the anchor-block on the rib 18, by means of the nuts 23 screwed onto their cotter~pins 12.
In the embodiment shown in Figures 5a and 5b, the profiled moulding 2 shows two ribs 26 each having a T-shaped cross section. A part forming an anchor-block and which fits onto these ribs 26 is composed of three parts 27, 28, 29, which are assembled and removably locked on the ribs 26 through locking, as in the case of Figure 4, by means of cotter-pins 33 and nuts 31. This division of the anchor-block into three parts permits ready positioning of this member anywhere along the profiled moulding 2. It should be pointed out that the two outer parts 27 and 29 correspond to members 19 and 20 in Figure 4b, while the middle part 28 is adapted to lock onto ~he two ribs 26. In an alternative embodiment, the anchor-bloek shown in Figure 5b is made of a single piece with the outer surface of the middle part 28 preferably being roughened or serrated, and ~ preferably convex, such that it is mounted to engage ~he : 20 ribs 26 when the~boat is partially deflated. Once the :boa~ is fully inflated, the increased pressure on the surface 28 would ensure that the anchor-block is locked :

The embodiments illustrated in Figures 6a to 7a and 6b to 7b are distinguished by the fact that the lateral walls 33 and 34 which define ~he cavi~y 35 of the profiled member are movable and flexible. In Figure 6, the free edges 35 of the two walls 33 and 34 overlap, while in the embodiment according to Figure 7, this overlapping does not occur. It may be seen that each longtitudinal edge of the walls 33 and 34 is provided at regular intervals with holes 37. The detachable mounting devices which fit onto these profiled mouldings and ~hich are illustrated in Figures 6b and 7b include a part forming an anchor-block 38 adapted to engage the cavity 35 of the profiled members. On its upper surface, this part 38 has a row (Figure 6b) or two rows (Figure 7b) of raised cylindrical elements 54 which can pass through the holes 37 in the lateral walls 33 and 34 ~ of the profiled member to permit temporary mounting of a : ~:
plate-profiled outer member 39, by locking against the lateral wall. This member is locked on by means of nuts 40 screwed onto the elements 54 which are threaded for this purpose. The outer member 39 is provided with accessory-fit-ting elements 40 or is an integral par~ of these accessories.
A profiled moulding accordin~ to Figures 8a and 8b shows greater thickness in its longtitudinal median part 43, in which there is a slot 44 of a predetermined width and perpendicular to the surface 45, by which the profiled member is secured to the inflatable structure, which slot extends from the free surface 46 to a predetermined depth and, preferably at regular intervals in the longtitudinal direction of the mouldings, holes 47 which pass through the area 46 in a transverse direction. A detachable device for mounting of an accessory on this profiled moulding 2 is in the form of a member 48 having a T-shaped cross section of which the vertical part 49 is adapted to lock into the slot 44 of the profiled member while the upper surface of the cross bar 50 has an accessory-holding element 51. The member 48 may be locked into the slot 44 of the profiled moulding using suitable cotter-pins, such as for example :::

split cylindrical cotter-pins 52 adapted to pass through the transverse holes 47 of the profiled mouldine and the corresponding holes 53 in the accessory-fitting device 48.
By means of the profiled mouldings which, if desired, may be secured permanently to the inflatable structure and the detachable accessory-fitting devices which may be locked onto these mouldings, it is possible according to the invention to removably position accessories at any point along the profiled mouldings.
These latter may be of pliable, flexible material. The parts constituting the accessory-fitting devices may be constructed of appropriate rigid material. As regards the shapes of the mouldings and the accessory-fitting devices, these are not limited to the embodiments described here by way of example.
