Description

Technical area

The present invention relates to a ship's buoy for avoiding inclinations and rocking movements according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

State of the art

The inclination (heeling) of ships (especially sailboats) prevents as well as the swinging movements a comfortable sleeping under deck (for example, during night driving). To compensate for these inclinations and the rocking movements on board a ship, it is known from the prior art to use a so-called. Cardan suspension or gimbal bearing, which allows storage in two intersecting, mutually perpendicular rotary bearings of objects of any kind. In these gimbal camps two rings are provided in the outer fixed part, the axes of which are each offset by 90 ° from each other, wherein the rings are rotatably mounted in each other and the object to be stored is attached to the innermost ring. Ship galleys could also be stored by means of gimbal storage, but because of their complex design, such storage systems can not easily be integrated into ships, especially since they require enormous space. A retrofitting of such ship buoys is difficult to accomplish.

There are also known from the prior art ship buoys, which are suspended from the ceiling and so balance the movement of the ship. Such a Schlingerbett is, for example, in DE 20246 A , in DE 56738 A as in DE 16667 A described. These designs are also too expensive for the usual use in ships and beyond extremely impractical.

From the DE 141 778 A is a ship's buoy to avoid tilting and rocking movements with a support for a mattress known. The bed frame in this case has a concave, cylindrical inwardly curved support surface for the support, wherein the support via a correspondingly corresponding convex, cylindrically curved outwardly bearing surface on its underside, wherein the support is movably mounted on the support surface of the bed frame. The support can be locked by means of handles and hooks.

The US Pat. No. 1 215 233 A describes a Gestll for receiving ship equipment to avoid inclinations and rocking movements in ships. The frame has a bearing consisting of two cylindrically curved transversely to the longitudinal direction of the frame inwardly curved bearing surfaces, on each of which rotatably mounted rollers arranged in a row are mounted, wherein the rows of rollers are each embedded in a cylindrically outwardly curved support.

The US 4,702,192 A. describes a ship comprising an inner hull having a horizontal longitudinal axis and a horizontal transverse axis, wherein an outer hull surrounds the inner hull and is moveable relative to the latter about at least one horizontal axis and a plurality of spherical bodies are provided between the hulls inner hull and outer hull so as to allow movement of the outer hull relative to the inner hull about the at least one horizontal axis.

From the FR 2 820 295 A1 is a trapezoidal ship buoy known.

The DE 16 667 A describes ship beds whose guide frames or slideways are fixed to fixed pivots and to the head and foot ends of the bed by ropes in connection with pivots of the bed and their guide rollers. This is to be achieved by keeping the beds of a ship at each position of the ship horizontal.

Presentation of the invention

The present invention is based on the object to provide a ship's buoy, which eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and which is technically simple and also suitable to be retrofitted in ships without great technical effort.

According to the invention the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the ship's buoy according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.

According to the prior art, the ship's buoy according to the invention comprises first a bed frame or a bed frame and at least one provided on the bed frame or bed frame support for one or more mattresses, wherein the bed frame or the bed frame a convex, concave or cylindrical inwardly or outwardly curved support surface provides for the support, which has a correspondingly convex, convex or cylindrically curved support surface corresponding curved shape on its underside.

According to a ship buoy of the type mentioned is characterized in that the support is movably mounted on the support surface, wherein the bearing consists of rotatably mounted rollers or balls and the bearings are arranged spaced transversely to the longitudinal direction of the support in at least two rows.

The storage can be configured as desired. In a preferred embodiment, rotatably mounted rollers or balls are used as bearings. Particularly preferably, these bearings are arranged spaced apart in at least two rows transversely to the longitudinal direction of the support.

In addition, the bearing can preferably also be realized in that a sliding layer is provided between the resting surfaces, in this case the bearing surface and the support, for example an oil film between two polymer layers.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the support surface and the support surface are material-technically designed in their surface such that the support and support surface form a sliding and a counter sliding surface, for example by means of two suitable polymer layers.

With such storage, the movably mounted support can be realized in a simple and cost-effective manner.

The size and shape of the bed frame or frame and stored on the bed frame or bed frame rest pad for the mattress are no limits. Advantageously bed frame or bed frame and the edition are adapted to the local circumstances on board the ship. So it is conceivable to create a trapezoidal version for fore buoys. Likewise, it is also conceivable to construct an approximately square version for a double bed, either either a portion of the bed has a self-supporting edition or the entire surface of a stored edition and therefore the bed frame or bed frame only a convex, concave or cylindrical inside or outside curved support surface includes.

The pad itself is preferably designed to support a standard mattress or a mattress to be made to local needs.

The ship buoy according to the invention provides relief on slopes and rocking movements on board by adapting to the inclination of the ship. The bed surface is currently structurally always aligned horizontally, which increases the sleeping comfort. Optionally, the described self-alignment also has positive effects on passengers suffering from seasickness.

Embodiment of the invention

1 shows the ship's buoy in a perspective view in a particularly advantageous embodiment. How out 1 seen, is the bed frame or the bed frame 1 preferably its length cylindrical inwardly curved and the bottom 20 the edition 2 according to corresponding cylindrical outward (bottom) arched.

Warehousing 4 takes place in this embodiment by means of several rows transverse to the longitudinal direction of the support 2 spaced, rotatably mounted rollers 40 which can also be balls. These roles 40 are - like out 1 and 2 visible, partly in the edition 2 admitted. In a further, not shown embodiment of the invention, the rollers 40 or balls of storage 4 also (additionally) on the bed frame or bed frame 1 or on or in the support surface 10 be arranged.

The ship buoy according to the invention advantageously consists of a wooden substructure (in which, if necessary, storage spaces can be integrated) and which can move on the rollers 40 or balls stored pad 2 for the mattress 3 ,

For the stay in the port, the movable lying surface should preferably be lockable so that it then follows the ship's movement. For this purpose, a locking device may be provided on the bed frame or bed frame or on the support, which prevents the movement of the support in any direction.

In the in 3 illustrated embodiment of the ship's buoy is this trapezoidal formed for a foredeck buoy.

The ship's buoy according to the invention is not limited in its execution to the above-mentioned preferred embodiments. Rather, a variety of design variations are possible, which make use of the solution shown even with fundamentally different type of execution.
