Abstract

The rail motor lift has a metal construction which serves as a support for an outboard motor at a push pit and for lowering and raising the motor. A motor mounting plate remains parallel during rotation motion and is then inclined. The inclination of the mounting plate is maintained by two equal longitudinally parallel frames (10) that are mounted at different heights and moved at same time. The frames are rotatably supported at parallel transverse axis such that a secure and stable storage and movement of the motor is enabled.

Description

1) Technical field

The Invention comes from the area of "Technical Ship and boat accessories "

2) State of the art

The Invention presented here serves an outboard motor for the dinghy both adequately to store the railing, but in addition the heavy engine easy and safe to Dinghy lying in the water to bring down.

The state of the art for these functions is currently that there is only the possibility of storage of the rear basket for storage. The 2 , Pos. 4 shows this.

Of the Motor, which weighs between 12 and 20 kg, must then from there, about 2 meters above the waterline, to the dinghy, about 30 cm above the water, to be moved down. This is necessary if you have the Would like to use the engine on the dinghy or must. The movement The engine is currently carried by hand by wearing. this is not always light, especially when the boat is moving or when Skipper got older.

Of the Engine has to be loosened by its toggle bolts. Then he has to be lifted off the shelf and brought down to the dinghy become. This is impossible if at the stern of the yacht no Stable steps o. Ä. Are attached. And then you have to the skipper holds the heavy engine with one hand and joins in hold on to the other hand. Embrace u. Ä. is impossible and to expect an accident.

The only currently known possibility of this transport problem to solve with technical aids is a crane.

This possibility is in 1 shown. There are different designs for lifting and lowering of loads, cranes that are firmly mounted or easily removable with a variety of carrying forces.

3) The underlying of the invention problem

The The problem underlying this invention is that there are no Possibility gives the transport of the heavy outboard motor from the stern of the yacht down to the dinghy (and back after use) to accomplish adequately.

As already described, not only older skippers have considerable Problems, the engine down the stern to the dinghy bring to. Safety is paramount on board.

If but a man can only hold himself in one place (and that even with one hand) this security is no longer guaranteed. The loss of the engine (viewed from pollution by the oil) is the result.

Nobody can do it alone. A person holds the Engine and another comes with the dinghy in the right position, so that the engine can be hooked on.

But even when using a crane, the difficulties are reduced only insignificant. A crane is expensive, usually he does not decorate the yacht and is therefore often built removable. If you want to use the engine, So it is necessary to build the crane - a considerable Effort. By means of matching (additional!) Straps will the engine is hung on the crane and then moved. Here too Two people are required.

If the engine hangs in the crane, someone else needs the dinghy position and engage the engine. The motor must be drained at the exact moment when the dinghy under or (with the stern) is next to the engine. This is already at light Swell a significant problem that.

additionally the straps must be removed.

5) Commercial application

The Commercial application is through the next section secured benefits described. The functional and optical Progress over the "state of the art" is so convincing that, in any case, buyers find for it.

b) Practical production

The Description of the practical production takes place under principle Aspects. This metal construction is very clear and in itself easy to manufacture by the specialist. An exact dimensioning the parts are therefore not.

Made of stainless steel tubes (20 × 2 mm, part 10 and 11 )) two equally long and wide pipe constructions are welded. The width is about 250 mm. The 4 serves as a visual template. Below and above is a horizontal tube ( 11 ), on which two vertical longer ( 10 ) Pipes are welded at right angles and parallel.

Now the lower bracket ( 5 ; Pos. 7). It is an open box construction with two laterally opposite and offset holes. Below, two holes are drilled for floor mounting.

The support frame ( 13 ) is bent and welded into the rear inner corners of the lower bracket.

After this bracket is ready, the frames ( 10 ) by means of two bolts, plastic washers and stop nuts.

The upper bracket consists of the motor mounting plate ( 14 ) and two side mounts. These correspond in principle to the side parts of the lower bracket.

In particular, the holes for the horizontal tubes correspond to the lower holes in distance and diameter. The motor plate ( 14 ) is between the side parts ( 8th ) and the upper bracket is screwed down with appropriate threaded bolts as below.

details this can be seen in the illustrations.

The safety bar ( 17 ) is made and screwed laterally to the upper bracket. Lastly, the cable eye ( 15 ) and the rope ( 16 ) knotted.

8) operation

The Functioning of the motor lift presented here is very simple and easy to do. This is intentional and part of Construction.

Starting from the upper position, the outboard motor is hung, the rope ( 16 ). Now the locking lever ( 17 ) and the bracket folds out and down. Fulcrum is the lower bracket ( 2 ).

This Descent is controlled because the person holds the rope and slowly wears off. For heavier engines can here a pulley (Talje) find use.

is Having reached the bracket at the bottom, she holds herself by the dead weight and by the engine weight below.

Now You can climb into the dinghy and row to the engine. You open the toggle screws that secure the motor to the plate is, and raises the engine directly to the tail of the dinghy.

Of the The way is horizontal and vertical, very low and fast to do.

Should the engine back on the ship, you lift it from the dinghy on the motor lift and screw the two thumbscrews tightly so that the outboard motor can not fall down. Then can You can change from the dinghy to the yacht or someone else pulls on o. a. Rope. The engine lift turns and the engine appears at the top of the railing. The safety lever is hooked. The rope can be let go.
