Description
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This invention is a tool which when manually operated will effectively clean the submerged surfaces of a boat, while at the dock. To use this tool the operator holds the tool's head against the hull of the boat being cleaned and systematically scrubs its fouled surfaces while the boat remains in the water. The tool is efficiently designed of modern durable weatherproof materials. The tool operator can easily remove all of the soft fouling from the hull, keel and rudder of a 30 foot sailboat in 20 to 30 minutes while standing on an adjacent dock. The Standard Model is made of thick wall poly vinyl chloride pipe and fittings. These standard commercial products are modified to produce the frame of the tool. The head of the Standard Model is wrapped with synthetic carpet.
My future selection of custom designed boat bottom scrubbers will require pipe and fittings to be of various lengths and shapes using pipe diameter materials up to 3 inches. The boat bottom scrubbers of which I have knowledge fall into customized categories. These customized categories relate to the length, beam, draft and hull shape of a boat. A suitably customized tool shape ensures easy handling and efficient scrubbing of the fouled surfaces. The dimensions of the scrubber will depend on the shape and size of the hull.
The standard bottom scrubber sketch and photograph are described here. The bottom scrubbing tool has a curved handle which is approximately 120 inches long and the head is 18 inches wide. A list of the parts of the scrubber is: 1 curved handle 120 inches long, 2 pieces of pipe 7.5 inches long and 1 piece 1.5 inches long, all cut from 1.5 inch schedule 40 poly vinyl chloride pipe. These pieces of pipe are glued and sealed to form the frame of the scrubber with the use of the following 1.5 inch poly vinyl chloride pipe fittings: 3 end caps, 1 45 degree elbow and 1 tee.
This frame is watertight and floats. The head is covered with a piece of synthetic carpet or other scrubbing material which has been cut to fit the scrubber head. The covering is wrapped tightly around the head and strapped or glued in place.
This invention was designed to reduce hull drag which improves boat performance, effiency and overall boating pleasure.
