Abstract

The textile water keel (1) is filled with water for stabilising and weighting (ballast) the boat, in which arrangement the water keel (1) is firmly installed during building of the boats or can also be subsequently inserted in already existing boats, preferably inflatable boats. The water keel is divided in the longitudinal direction by a flexible, textile partition (6) into two tubular chambers which are independent of one another and are in turn split up in the transverse direction by two or more textile partitions (7) into three or more tubular-chamber sections which, depending on requirement, can be filled with air or water and also emptied again via inlet tubes (4, 5). The same principle can be applied in the case of so-called solid keels (e.g. of plastic, metal), in which case the separation of the tubular chambers or partitioning of the tubular-chamber sections can be of textile or flexible construction or even rigid construction.

Description

Die Sicherheit eines Bootes hängt im wesentlichen bei Sturm und hohem Wellengang vom Eigengewicht ab. Gerade leichte Sportboote sowie auch Schlauchboote, die oft über Land transportiert werden müssen, sind der Kraft des Windes und Wellenganges hilflos ausgeliefert und stark abtriebs- und kentergefährdet, weil sie einfach zu leicht sind. Außerdem können diese Boote ab einer gewissen Windstärke nicht mehr auf Kurs gehalten werden, weil die Abtriebskräfte, Wind und Wellen, um so stärker wirken, je leichter das Boot ist. Dieses Gewichtsproblem wurde bisher dadurch g,elöst, daß man die Boote künstlich durch die Aufnahme von Blei oder sonstigen Schwermetallen, auch Beton usw. als zusätzlichen Ballast beschwerte. Dieser Ballast mußte fest am tiefsten Punkt des Rumpfes eingebaut werden. Die Gewichtsaufnahme in dieser Art ist jedoch für leichte Sportboote sowie insbesondere Schlauchboote, deren Vorteil in dem einfachen Transport zu Lande liegt, nicht geeignet.The safety of a boat essentially depends on its own weight in storms and high waves. Light sports boats in particular, as well as inflatable boats, which often have to be transported overland, are helplessly exposed to the force of the wind and waves and are at risk of downforce and capsizing because they are simply too light. In addition, these boats can no longer be kept on course after a certain wind force, because the lighter the boat, the stronger the downforce, wind and waves. This weight problem has hitherto been solved by artificially weighting the boats as additional ballast by taking in lead or other heavy metals, including concrete, etc. This ballast had to be installed at the lowest point of the fuselage. However, weight absorption in this way is not suitable for light sports boats and in particular rubber boats, the advantage of which is that they can be easily transported on land.

Die Erfindung betrifft einen textilen Wasserkiel für leichte Sportboote und insbesondere Schlauchboote, welcher zur Stabilisierung und Beschwerung (Ballast) des Bootes mit Wasser gefüllt werden kann, wobei der Wasserkiel beim Bau fest eingebaut oder auch nachträglich in bereits bestehende Boote, vorzugsweise Schlauchboote, eingefügt werden kann.The invention relates to a textile water keel for light sports boats and in particular inflatable boats, which can be filled with water for stabilization and weighting (ballast) of the boat, the water keel being built in during construction or also being retrofitted into existing boats, preferably inflatable boats .

Die Erfindung hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, das Problem dadurch zu lösen, daß als Ballastmaterial Wasser verwandt wird. Der textile Wasserkiel besteht aus zwei in Längsrichtung durch eine flexible, textile Trennung 6 voneinander unabhängigen Schlauchkammern, die wiederum durch zwei oder mehrere Abtrennungen in Querrichtung 7 in drei oder mehreren Schlauchkammerabschnitte aufgeteilt werden, welche wahlweise und auch unterschiedlich mit Wasser oder Luft gefüllt werden können und somit dem jeweiligen Boot durch die Auffüllung des textilen Wasserkiels mit Wasser eine höhere Gewichts-Stabilisierung geben.The invention has set itself the goal of solving the problem by using water as ballast material. The textile water keel consists of two hose chambers that are independent of one another in the longitudinal direction by means of a flexible, textile separation 6, which in turn are divided into three or more hose chamber sections by two or more separations in the transverse direction 7, which can optionally and also be filled differently with water or air and giving the respective boat a higher weight stabilization by filling the textile water keel with water.

Die flexible, textile Trennung 6 in Längsrichtung sowie die textilen Abtrennungen 7 in Querrichtung dienen dazu, eine wahlweise Belastung und Stabilisierung des Bootes mit Wasser oder Luft je nach Bedarf zu erreichen. Die textile Abtrennung 7 in Querrichtung hindert das Wasser daran, sich gewichtsmäßig in Längsrichtung des Wasserkiels und somit in Längsrichtung des Bootes zu verlagern. Über drei oder mehrere Einlaßschläuche 4 wird den oberen Schlauchkammerabschnitten Luft zugeführt. Den unteren Schlauchkammerabschnitten wird ebenfalls über drei oder mehrere Einlaßschläuche 5 Wasser zugeführt. Wasser und Luft werden über diese Einlaßschläuche 4, 5 wieder entfernt, wobei das Wasser durch Erzeugen eines zusätzlichen Luftdrucks über die Einlaßschläuche 5 wieder herausgepreßt wird.The flexible, textile separation 6 in the longitudinal direction and the textile separations 7 in the transverse direction serve to achieve an optional loading and stabilization of the boat with water or air as required. The textile partition 7 in the transverse direction prevents the water from shifting in weight in the longitudinal direction of the water keel and thus in the longitudinal direction of the boat. Air is supplied to the upper hose chamber sections via three or more inlet hoses 4. Water is also supplied to the lower hose chamber sections via three or more inlet hoses 5. Water and air are removed again via these inlet hoses 4, 5, the water being pressed out again by generating an additional air pressure via the inlet hoses 5.

Das vorstehend beschriebene Prinzip ist ebenso anwendbar bei Wasserkielen, die außen aus Kunststoff, Metall oder ähnlichen. Material bestehen, wobei hier die Abtrennungen 7 nicht aus textilem Gewebe, sondern ebenfalls aus diesen Materialien bestehen können.The principle described above is also applicable to water keels made of plastic, metal or the like on the outside. Material consist, where the partitions 7 can not consist of textile fabric, but also made of these materials.
