Rudder guide for inflatable boats

C The object of the innovation is a rudder guide for

Inflatables.

Usually one is on the oars for inflatables Fastened pivot pin, which is inserted into a bracket attached to the inflatable boat. In this way the rudder can be moved horizontally as well as vertically around said pivot pin, as it is for the Rudder movements are required, but the rudder cannot be moved along its own longitudinal axis. This is disadvantageous when rowing is to be carried out in a confined space or standing, e.g. in the middle of a small harbor other boats where it would be useful to row with the oars pulled in rather than the oars shortened.

This possibility is made possible by the control of the rudder according to the Innovation created in that it can be plugged into a bracket attached to the inflatable boat and it consists of a rotatable oarlock and an extended guide sleeve attached to the rudder.

An exemplary embodiment of the rudder guide according to the innovation is shown in the drawing . Show it

Fig. 1 is a schematic plan view of an oar guided in an oarlock by means of a sleeve, wherein the oarlock is inserted into a bracket attached to the boat,

Fig. 2 is a partial view of the rudder with guide sleeve,

3 shows a section through the bracket attached to the boat with the oarlock inserted therein,

FIG. 4 shows the top view A according to FIG. 3 without oarlock.

A holder 1 for a rudder guide is attached to each side part Cg of the inflatable boat. The rudder guide consists on the one hand from the Dolle 2 and the other 3 from a fixed to the rudder 4 extended guide sleeve The rudder consists in manner known per se of two parts 4 ^1, 4 ", which at 4" are connected or detachably 'with each other. In FIGS. 1 and 2, part 4 ¹ carries the handle at the (not visible) left end and part 4 ″ carries the rudder blade at the (not visible) right end. An extended guide sleeve 3, made of neoprene, for example, is attached to ^{part 4 1} is made, has a slightly conical shape and has a circumferential reinforcement 3 ^{1 at the end facing the handle of the oar}

In the opening of the holder 1, the pin of a oarlock is inserted and in it by means of a pin against falling out secured, which is inserted into a side opening 1 " is (Fig. 4) and in an annular groove in the pin of

Oarlock 2 engages so that it remains rotatable. The ring
the oarlock 2 has a bore 2 ', the purpose of which continues
is explained below.

To insert the oar 4 into the oarlock 2, the two \

parts 4 ¹ , 4 "are connected again at 4 '. \

Now the guide sleeve 3 is in the oarlock 2, {

which the horizontal and vertical rowing movements'

the rudder 4 also in its longitudinal direction towards the interior '

of the boat are drawn in, while a longitudinal displacement I

Cg comes to rest. In this position, according to 1

the displacement of the rudder 4 in such a way that the hole 3 "f of the sleeve 3 coincides with the hole 2 ^{1 of} the oarlock 2,
a pin to be inserted into these holes 2 ', 3 "to
set the rudder 4 in this rest position.

When the boat is not in use, the rudder 4 and the
Oarlock 2 can be removed without the risk of closing oarlock 2
lose, because this can neither to the left nor to the
fall out on the right.
