Abstract

Trolley with integrated accessories on which a dinghy is mounted, characterized in that it is connected by magnetic surfaces, Velcro or telescopic rods with the boat.

Description

My invention is based on the development of trolleys for inflatable watercraft such as canoes, kayaks or other dinghies. Inflatable boats are ideal for recreational activities that are becoming increasingly important nowadays. However, leisure time is usually tight and therefore a simple transport and a quick assembly and disassembly are desirable.

• mehrfach faltbares Gestell des Trolleys DE000020218430U1 ,
• fahrbarer Untersatz mit 2 Rädern CN000201800754U ,

• Trolley dessen Räder für den Transport über Land von unten über ein Bootsende nach oben geklappt werden können GB000002176750A .

There are many solutions for such transport aids, some of which are foldable but also for stable boats, eg:

• Trolley whose wheels are arranged to save space GB000002499563A .
• foldable frame of the trolley DE000020218430U1 .
• mobile pedestal with 2 wheels CN000201800754U .
• Trolley for a folding pedal boat EP000002165928B1 .
• Trolley whose wheels for transport over land can be folded from below over a boat end up GB000002176750A ,

The existing solutions fulfill only their transport function or need z.T. relatively much space. Other features, especially for inflatable canoes, kayaks and other inflatable boats are not included.

A fast complete solution is desired and the protection claim 1 specified invention of a trolley with integrated accessories on which a dinghy is mounted accordingly has additional functions.

An embodiment:

Before removing the protective cover, the complete solution looks like a shopping trolley with a large bag on both sides ( 1 , Side view). After removing the protective cover, the uninflated dinghy is about halfway ahead and the other half behind the undercarriage (1) folded so that the inside of the boat and the bottom of the boat are facing outwards. For transport, the two boat halves in the upper part, for example, with a Velcro and the frame connected. In the inflated state is approximately in the middle of the collapsible and extendable chassis on the inflatable canoe, kayak or other dinghy, so that this looks like a small "mast". This "mast" can also be pushed together telescopically and folded towards the bottom of the boat. The trolley with integrated accessories is - as in the protection claim 5 shown - for example, from rounded aluminum rods or plastic, so there is no danger to the air chambers of the boat. At the two lower ends of the chassis are - as in the protection claim 3 shown - mounted parallel to the inflated boat bottom plates, which are magnetic. Thus, the two magnetic plates are mounted perpendicular to the chassis. As in the claims 3 and 4 for transport under the watercraft, both inflated and uninflated, two corresponding magnetic plates are placed with attached wheels ( 2 ), which thus have contact with the magnetic plates of the frame. These can be stored on the water to save space in the boat. Not necessarily but ideally, the mating panels have a congruent profile and a thin rubber layer to prevent slippage. For example, to avoid a lock after a section of the route on the water, the wheels are positioned with one hand under the inflated boat ( 2 , Side view). The shell of the boat is - as in the protection claim 2 shown - reinforced in the area of the two bodies with the magnetic plates.

In the lower part of the trolley are integrated protection claim 8th a waterproof battery / rechargeable battery (3) , which could be charged by flexible solar cells, and a likewise waterproof stowed electric air pump, which can suck the air after use of the dinghy. The air pump has in the event of a dead battery still a connection for the car or RV and for a normal outlet. In addition, the air pump has a switch on the side of the inflatable boat, so that it can be pressed even when not inflated state of the boat.

The accumulator could also provide a small electric outboard motor with power, but at least always eat smartphones or other small electrical appliances.

After using the boat, the suction function of the air pump is turned on, folded the ends of the boat in the direction of trolley frame, placed on the magnetic plates mounted wheels again and put over the protective cover, which can recharge the battery in existing solar cells.

The common protective cover for the chassis and dinghy, which has eg Velcro fasteners, can also - as in the protection claims 6 and 7 shown - used as an awning and include flexible photovoltaic modules. For this, the sunshade is attached between the boat's end and the possibly existing "mast". Will the Awning not needed these can be attached to the large air chambers or on the boat ends. Other integrated solar cells are also possible.

The paddles can - as in the protection claim 9 shown attached to the trolley, so that when transporting the complete boat with accessories still a hand is free.

In summary, after removing the protective cover, the dinghy is inflatable on a trolley at the push of a button, easy to slide on the two wheels and ready to remove the two wheels for the water. With another handgrip, the wheels with the magnetic plates for land transport are attached again. After using the dinghy and sucking off the air with the push of a button, the vessel is ready for transport again.
