Description

The The present invention relates to a water distribution system for boats (such as pleasure boats and yachts), in particular for the distribution of Water to a variety of positions on the deck of the boat and / or for filling and / or emptying a water tank is suitable. Especially The present invention also relates to a retrofit kit for upgrade a boat with a water distribution system and a procedure for retrofitting a Boat with a water distribution system.

in the The following are hereby terms sports boats and yachts In particular, to understand vessels with or without engine drive, the for Sport- and recreational and / or representative Purposes have been built and used for it. To sports boats belong thus in particular motor, sailboats, yachts and / or personal watercraft. Length and displacement of the boat as well as the size of the crew are subordinate criteria. In particular, the use is for sports and leisure purposes a priority criterion.

Main are size Sport boats or yachts (especially sailing and motor yachts), with cabin and accommodation, for rides seaward the baseline (territorial sea, offshore maritime waters, High sea) suitable and determined. Small pleasure boats are for rides landward the baseline (other waters) or near the beach suitable and intended, including, in particular, open sails or motor boats.

Of Further can smaller pleasure boats in particular by the admission for not more than twelve Persons and / or a length be characterized by a maximum of 20 m.

Sport boats and yachts need at certain intervals a cleaning of the outer walls. There Most pleasure boats are often for longer Time unprotected lying in the harbor and at this time especially by birds and the effects of weather Sometimes it is necessary to remove the deck before it becomes dirty to clean the leaking. Also, a cleaning of the deck after a Boat trip may be necessary, for example, unwanted splash water, which with algae, oil, etc. may be contaminated.

Most of time is the required service water, which is used to clean a Decks needed is, from a water connection, at the jetty or at another place in the harbor area is located, by means of an ordinary Taken from the water hose. Typically, the water hose has a sufficient length, so that every area of the pleasure craft or the yacht is sufficient good for cleaning can be achieved. Depending on the size of the boat and distance between water connection at the jetty and boat can the required hose length vary. However, it is basically a minimum length of several meters indispensable, therefore one appropriate handling is possible at all.

Next The use for cleaning pleasure craft or yachts will be the water hoses described above also used around the distance between water connection at the jetty and hot water tank to bridge, where the free water hose end is simply hung in the open water tank opening. This type of filling can easily lead to contamination of the water in the water tank. Especially stagnant water is vulnerable for impurities like germination etc.

Of Further are the filler neck Of the water tank and the fuel tank often only a few inches apart, so that it easily confused with the two tanks. Will be inadvertently the water hose hangs in the fuel tank, it comes to contamination the hose with fuel and the hose should not then more for filling of the water tank. Also, that has got into the fuel tank Water maybe be removed. Therefore would be it desirable to eliminate this source of danger.

Usually the water hose is carried on the boat and must therefore be opened accordingly stowed away from the boat. In addition, on sports boats or yachts usually little space for additional Equipment like meter-long water hoses, which are only bad wind up and stow away to save space.

One Another disadvantage is that during the cleaning of the pleasure boat or the yacht the water hose can represent a trip hazard, if the water hose partially or completely on the sports boat or the Yacht is designed. Also it is not possible regularly the cleaning possibilities for many helping people alike comfortable to allow, as normally only a source of hot water is available which allows a cumshot to clean areas.

Sports and leisure as well the use too representative Purposes marks sport boats and yachts as a priority.

Of Further, the deck of the boat herein particularly includes each area or outer area of the boat above the waterline, such as a boat wall. Furthermore, the deck of the boat includes the upper horizontal termination of the hull. Furthermore preferably the deck of the boat comprises in particular Weather decks, poop decks, upper decks and main decks.

Further preferably, the distribution system described herein except for the distribution of water and for distributing other fluids used or usable, in particular to drive or operate technical equipment on the boat. In particular, these fluids may be Air or compressed air or other gases such as methane, natural gas or LPG (Liquid Propane Gas) etc ..

Especially is the described water distribution system in one embodiment completely or at least substantially above the boat deck arranged. For example, at least one pipe system in the essentially arranged above the boat deck or mounted or be attached.

In a further embodiment is the described water distribution system complete or at least arranged substantially below or below the boat deck or attached.

1 shows a schematic representation of a water distribution system 2 for a boat with a pipe system 4 , which is designed as a loop, and a plurality of sampling nozzle 6 and at least one feed pipe or filler neck 12 , About the feed pipe or filler neck 12 can add water to the water distribution system 2 filled or the water distribution system 2 be supplied.

It is possible a water supply device (not shown) preferably a water hose to a coupling portion 16 of the filler neck 12 to pair. The coupling of the water hose to the coupling section 16 of the filler neck 12 can be done, for example, that the water hose on a Aufsteckbereich, the coupling section 16 forms, is attached and possibly can be attached with a clamp. Alternatively, a so-called piece of hose can be mounted on or at a first end of the water hose. The hose piece, which comprises a coupling part, and the coupling portion 16 which has a coupling part designed as a counterpart to the hose piece, thus forming a coupling system. Such a coupling system may for example be a releasable plug-in coupling.

The feed pipe 12 may preferably be mounted on the boat above the waterline or on the deck of the boat. For example, the feeder can 12 be mounted so that it is substantially flush with a surface of the deck of the boat. In another embodiment, the feed neck 12 be mounted on the deck of the boat so that it protrudes substantially at least only partially over the surface of the deck of the boat.

Advantageous in a substantially flush configuration of the filler neck 12 with the surface of the deck is that persons on the boat are not at the feeder 12 can push or over the feed pipe 12 can stumble.

The second end of the water hose may for example be connected to a lockable water connection. The feed pipe 12 For example, a check valve 14 include, so that when supplying water into the water pipe system 2 the check valve 14 is brought into an open position due to the water pressure of the supplied water. Consequently, the check valve is in a closed position when no water enters the water distribution system 2 is filled. This has the advantage that water or residual water, which is in the water distribution system 2 or in the pipe system 4 is not uncontrolled or unintentionally over the feed pipe 12 from the pipe system 4 can escape. Alternatively, instead of the check valve also a manual valve or another zweckerfüllendes valve can be used.

At the pipe system 4 is a variety of sampling nozzles 6 arranged. With a removal device (not shown), such as a water hose or nozzle, which at least one sampling nozzle 6 can be coupled, water can from the water distribution system 2 or the pipe system 4 be removed. Preferably, the sampling nozzle 6 From the deck of the boat accessible or accessible, so that advantageously the water can be removed immediately in the vicinity of a possible site.

The sampling nozzle 6 may be arranged, at least in part, at regular and / or irregular intervals. The sampling nozzle 6 can be arranged either according to the conditions on the boat and / or under aspects of usability. As in 1 shown, can the sampling neck 6 coupling portions 10 and shut-off valves 8th include. The coupling sections 10 the sampling nozzle 6 For example, they may be formed as female (female) coupling portions while the coupling portion 16 the at least one feed pipe 12 be designed as a male (male) coupling section.

The coupling sections 10 the sampling nozzle 6 For example, they may be substantially similar and / or the same as the coupling sections 16 the feed pipe 12 be educated. Preferably, at least the coupling sections 10 the sampling nozzle 6 essentially identical and / or functionally identical. In a preferred embodiment, at least one withdrawal nozzle 6 ) or a coupling section 10 For example, in addition to a joint, so that the Ent acceptance lop 6 or the coupling section 10 can be folded or pivoted after proper use, so that the sampling nozzle 6 or the coupling section 10 in a folded state or improper use state substantially at least partially flush with the surface of the deck of the boat or at least substantially does not protrude beyond the surface of the deck of the boat. This can injury or trip hazards by excellent sampling 6 be advantageously avoided.

The shut-off valves 8th For example, they can be manual valves. Furthermore, a shut-off valve 8th be designed such that once a coupling of a removal device with a coupling section 10 takes place, the valve opens. At the free end of a removal device, for example, a further valve such as a manual valve may be arranged, which is to be actuated, so that water from the water distribution system 2 can be removed.

The advantage here is that no additional operation for the use of the water distribution system is required, but immediately in the coupling of the sampling device with the sampling nozzle 6 a ready-to-use state is achieved and the removal of the water, for example, to clean the deck of the boat can be controlled directly at the end of the removal device.

In a further embodiment or development of the water distribution system, the water distribution system preferably comprises a roll-up device 20 for rolling up a pipe element 18 , The pipe element 18 For example, it can be a water hose. Furthermore, the conduit element 18 preferably with one end fixed to the pipe system 4 be coupled while the other end of the conduit element 18 firmly with a neck 22 connected, wherein the nozzle is a supply 12 and / or a sampling nozzle 6 can be. Thus, by means of unrolling the conduit element 18 and coupling the neck 22 With the water connection at the boat dock can be achieved very quickly and easily an operational condition. Preferably, the conduit element 18 several meters long and thus allows a correspondingly wide range for the distribution of water on the boat. The pipe element 18 may be in a non-usable condition on the retractor 20 rolled up while the conduit element 18 according to a necessary or handling length of the retractor 20 can be rolled off or rolled out. Advantageously, a risk of tripping due to lying around water hoses is thus substantially avoided or minimized.

The retractor 20 is preferably firmly connected to the boat or mounted or mounted in or on this. For example, the retractor 20 be arranged substantially in the hull or below deck, but substantially at least the nozzle 22 be reached in a rolled up condition from the deck. Preferably, the deck has a corresponding recess through which the conduit element 18 or the nozzle 22 Unwind or unwind or pull out. The advantage here is that the extendable nozzle 22 Thus can very quickly and easily bring in a working condition or just as quickly and easily can be brought back into a non-operational or rolled-up or rolled-up state.

In a further preferred embodiment, the conduit element 18 be designed to be coupled, so that it to a sampling nozzle 6 and / or to the feed pipe 12 can be connected as needed, the conduit element 18 in this case is unrolled so that the one end of the conduit element 18 to a withdrawal 6 or supply nozzle 12 can be coupled and the other end is connected to a consumer.

For the intended use of the water distribution system 2 The water supply device, which is connected to a water connection, to the coupling portion 16 of the filler neck 12 coupled, and started water in the pipe system 4 to lead. The pressure of the inflowing or supplied water at the check valve 14 generated, opens the valve 14 and the water is distributed in the pipe system 4 , The water or delivery pressure of the water is preferably at least sufficiently high to the water through the sampling nozzle 6 to be able to remove. At least one removal device (eg water hose) is connected to a coupling section 10 a withdrawal nozzle 6 coupled. The corresponding shut-off valve 8th can then be opened manually, for example, and water from the water distribution system 2 be removed. Alternatively, a shut-off valve opens 8th as soon as a removal device to the coupling section 10 is coupled. Preferably, by the water pressure when supplying water through the feed pipe 12 directly to the sampling nozzle 6 ) a water pressure for the removal of water available, so that no pump and / or water tank is required. Therefore, in a particularly inexpensive and low maintenance preferred embodiment, the water distribution system 2 no pump and no water tank on. In this embodiment, the supplied water is preferably directly to the sampling port 6 distributed, around there for. B. for deck cleaning at the berth of the boat to be removed immediately.

Furthermore, in one embodiment without a pump and / or without a water tank, the removal nozzles can be used 6 or coupling sections 10 and the feed pipe 12 or coupling section 16 be designed essentially identical in construction or function. For example, the coupling section 16 and the coupling sections 10 each be designed as male (male) or female (female) coupling sections. The advantage here is that water can be added or removed at each coupling section.

In contrast, in another preferred embodiment, the water distribution system installed on the boat includes 2 in addition a water tank. Preferably, the water tank via a corresponding tank line directly or indirectly with the feed pipe 12 and / or with the pipe system 4 connectable or connected. At a branching point or node, which comprises, for example, at least one positioning or directional control valve, the tank line can thus be connected to the line system 4 or to the feed pipe 12 be coupled that it is possible to direct the water into the water tank and / or the water in the pipe system 4 to lead.

Furthermore, a pump substantially between the line system 4 or supply nozzle 12 and the water tank. For example, the pump may be arranged on the tank line, so that it is possible to remove water from the water tank and substantially into the pipe system 4 initiate. Furthermore, the pump may be arranged on a pump line, wherein the pump line branches off substantially from the tank line as a secondary line.
