Description

BARK FOR CARAVANS The invention relates to a boat for caravans

The use of caravans is becoming more and more widespread in tourism.

So far, however, the caravan is tied to the road.

The aim of the barque according to the invention is to enable tourism on lakes and watercourses by means of caravans.

The barque according to the invention solves the problem of embarkation and disembarkation of the caravan.

It is characterized in that it includes means to get on to support an embarkation or disembarkation quay, in connection with ballast means, which are suitable to the position of the barque To adapt the embarkation or disembarkation phase.

The following description, by way of example, relates to the attached drawing.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a erfindungsgemäflen bark, Figure 2 is a representation similar to Figure I ₁ wherein the bark with

is loaded into a caravan,

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the boat loaded with a caravan; Figure 4 is a corresponding side view, Figure 5 is a rear view,

Figure 6 shows a device for controlling the bar position, FIG. 7 is a schematic representation of an application phase; FIG. 8 is a representation analogous to FIG. 7, but different

Phase,

Figure 9 shows the barge on the quay, Figure 10 is a schematic rear view of the boat showing

the barge detaching from the quay, Figure 11 shows the barge moving away from the quay

The barque according to the invention is generally parallelepiped Hollow body, which is limited by a flat bottom 11, lateral outer walls 12 and 13 and an upper platform 14, which on their Middle part has an unevenly high floor 15 which is surrounded by the side surfaces 16 and 17 and a front wall 18, the one closes the rectangular cell open to the rear.

The hollow body forming the bark can advantageously with a Foam material of very low density must be filled in sufficient quantity to make the bark unsinkable.

In the hollow body water ballast tanks are provided, which are arranged for example in the four corners, namely 19 and 20 in front and 21 and 22 in the back.

A front tank 19 is overlapped with a rear tank, e.g. 22 a line 23 is connected, which goes down to the bottom of the tanks and on which a rotary valve 24 is interposed. In the upper Part of the tanks lead nozzles 25 and 26 from distributors 27 and 28, respectively step out into which, in turn, nozzles 29 and 30 from a low pressure— lead air tank 31, via a nozzle 32 with valve 33 to a Bottle 34 with pressure reducing valve 35 is connected

A cam 36 is advantageously wedged on the axis of the rotary valve 24 actuated by the handle 37 and enables actuation

109846/0196

the distributor 27 or 28 in a first step by venting into the open above the outlets 38 and 39 under the action of the cam paths 40 and 41, and in a second step under the action of Cam paths 42 and 43 by the influx of compressed air into the tank 19 or the tank 22.

A similar arrangement is provided between the tanks 20 and 21.

The rear part of the bark comprises means for placing and / or hanging on; these are formed by steps 51 and 52 leading to both Sides of a recess 53 are arranged and protrude beyond the rear walls 54 and 55 of the boat. The steps or paragraphs point Support surfaces 56 and 57.

In order to bring a caravan onto a boat, the latter is attached to a Brought quay, which can be provided with a paragraph _d; the boat is in the state shown in Figure 7, which is due to the fact that the front tanks 19 and 20 are filled and the rear tanks 21 and 22 are at least partially emptied.

At the end of the approach phase, the support surface a_ is located vertically above the quay, for example the step £ (Figure B). By operating the handles 37, the rear tanks are filled to the detriment of the water content of the front tanks and the support surface £ is lowered onto the quay until it comes into contact with it; since the weight of the bark rests partly on the quay, this contributes to the immobility of the bark, which is tied up in a conventional manner with the ropes or ropes (Figure 9).

In this state, the floor 15 is at the exact height of the quay, so that it is sufficient to push the caravan in order to open it to load the boat in whose cell he finds his place.

The caravan is pushed until the wheels R essentially stand on dBr middle transverse plane of the boat. Then can all means are used to secure the caravan in its cell.

By operating the handles 37 in the opposite direction, the

Water out of tanks 21 and 22 and into the front tanks 19 and 20 pushed in · The lighter stern of the barque lifts itself and this assumes the position shown in Figure 10, wherein the rest flies 56, 57 are again removed from the quay, what that Moving the barge away from the quay is much easier, as can be seen from Figure 11.

In the recess 53 a board can be attached, which then to An external motor is attached to drive the barge loaded with the caravan
