Abstract

An inflatable boat is described whose inflatable body is flattened in cross-section on its inside. The available inner space of the inflatable boat is thereby substantially increased. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schlauchboot mit einer Bootsschale und einem in einer Draufsicht im wesentlichen U-förmigen Schlauchkörper an der Außenseite der Bootsschale.The invention relates to an inflatable boat with a boat shell and an essentially U-shaped tubular body on the outside of the boat shell in a plan view.

Derartige Schlauchboote sind in zahlreichen Ausführungsformen bekannt geworden, wobei die Erfindung sich insbesondere auf Schlauchboote bezieht, bei denen die Bootsschale aus glasfaserverstärktem Kunststoff besteht. Den bekannten Schlauchbooten ist es gemeinsam, daß der Schlauchkörper einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt hat.Inflatable boats of this type have become known in numerous embodiments, the invention relating in particular to inflatable boats in which the boat shell consists of glass-fiber reinforced plastic. It is common to the known inflatable boats that the tubular body has a circular cross section.

Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein derartiges Schlauchboot vorzuschlagen, bei dem der nutzbare Innenraum des Schlauchboots fühlbar vergrößert ist.In contrast, the object of the invention is to propose such an inflatable boat in which the usable interior of the inflatable boat is appreciably enlarged.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Schlauchkörper im Querschnitt zumindest im Bereich der Schenkel des U an seiner zur Bootsschale weisenden Innenseite abgeflacht ist.To achieve this object, the invention is characterized in that the tube body is flattened in cross section at least in the region of the legs of the U on its inside facing the boat shell.

Durch diese Abflachung gewinnt man entsprechenden Platz, der als Innenraum des Schlauchboots genutzt werden kann.This flattening gives you the appropriate space that can be used as the interior of the inflatable boat.

Die Abflachung soll ein etwa halbmondförmiges Profil ergeben, wie dies auch zeichnerisch dargestellt ist. Das heisst, daß das Profil des Schlauchkörpers an seiner Innenseite mit einem verhältnismässig großen Radius nach innen gewölbt verläuft. Es sind aber auch andere Profilierungen denkbar, beispielsweise ein gerader Abschluß, obgleich insbesondere aus Gründen der Befestigung zwischen dem Schlauchkörper und der Bootsschale ein an der Innenseite leicht abgeflachtes Profil, etwa wie zeichnerisch dargestellt, bevorzugt wird.The flattening should result in an approximately crescent-shaped profile, as is also shown in the drawing. This means that the profile of the tube body is curved on the inside with a relatively large radius. However, other profiles are also conceivable, for example a straight end, although a profile which is slightly flattened on the inside, for example as shown in the drawing, is preferred in particular for reasons of fastening between the hose body and the boat shell.

Die angestrebte Profilierung des Schlauchkörpers wird vorzugsweise dadurch erreicht, daß entsprechend profilierte Schotten bzw. Abschlüsse in den Schlauchkörper eingesetzt und mit diesem verbunden sind. Die Verbindung erfolgt vorzugsweise durch eine Verklebung. Die Schotten können aus flexiblem Material bestehen. Die Abschlüsse bestehen vorzugsweise aus hartem Material, beispielsweise Holzscheiben. Die Ausrüstung eines Schlauchboots mit einem senkrechten oder schrägen Schlauchabschluß ist ansich bekannt und wird auch bei dem erfindungsgemässen Schlauchboot verwendet.The desired profiling of the hose body is preferably achieved in that appropriately profiled bulkheads or terminations are inserted into and connected to the hose body. The connection is preferably made by gluing. The bulkheads can be made of flexible material. The endings are preferably made of hard material, for example wooden disks. The equipment of an inflatable boat with a vertical or oblique hose end is known per se and is also used in the inflatable boat according to the invention.

Die Verbindung zwischen der Bootsschale und dem Schlauchkörper wird man als Klebeverbindung ausbilden. Zu diesem Zweck ist an der zum Schlauchkörper weisenden Seite des Bootskörpers eine schalenförmige Klebefläche vorgesehen, deren Unterseite als Stringerleiste ausgebildet werden kann. Die Stringerleiste kann das Fahrverhalten des Schlauchboots zusätzlich stabilisieren. Im Bereich der Stringerleiste ist die schalenförmige Klebefläche um einen kürzeren Abstand wieder nach oben gebogen zwecks besserer Einfassung des Schlauchkörpers und zur Erzielung einer besonders guten Klebeverbindung.The connection between the boat shell and the hose body will be formed as an adhesive connection. For this purpose, a shell-shaped adhesive surface is provided on the side of the hull facing the hose body, the underside of which can be designed as a stringer strip. The stringer bar can additionally stabilize the driving behavior of the inflatable boat. In the area of the stringer strip, the bowl-shaped adhesive surface is bent upwards again by a shorter distance in order to better surround the hose body and to achieve a particularly good adhesive connection.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert, aus dem sich weitere wichtige Merkmale ergeben. Die Figur zeigt schematisch einen Schnitt durch ein Schlauchboot, wobei die linke Hälfte der Figur ein erfindungsgemässes Schlauchboot darstellt und die rechte Hälfte zum Vergleich ein herkömmliches Schlauchboot.The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment from which further important features result. The figure schematically shows a section through an inflatable boat, the left half of the figure representing an inflatable boat according to the invention and the right half for comparison a conventional inflatable boat.

Es ist eine Bootsschale 1 aus glasfaserverstärktem Kunststoff vorgesehen, der aussen in einer schalenförmigen Klebefläche 2 endet.A boat shell 1 made of glass fiber reinforced plastic is provided, which ends on the outside in a shell-shaped adhesive surface 2.

Die Klebefläche ist so profiliert, daß ein Schlauchkörper 3 mit etwa halbmondförmigem Profil mit der Bootsschale 1 verbunden wird. Dieses Profil wird durch entsprechend profilierte Schotten und Abschlüsse erreicht, die in den Schlauchkörper 3 eingesetzt und mit diesem verklebt sind. Der Schlauchabschluß besteht aus einem starren Teil aus Holz, Kunststoff, z.B. Hart PVC, Formteil aus GFK oder Stahl, und beabstandet voneinander sind im Schlauchkörper links und rechts mindestens jeweils ein entsprechendes Schott, vorzugsweise aus geeignetem flexiblen Material, in den Schlauchkörper eingesetzt.The adhesive surface is profiled such that a tubular body 3 with an approximately crescent-shaped profile is connected to the boat shell 1. This profile is achieved by appropriately profiled bulkheads and end caps, which are inserted into the tube body 3 and glued to it are. The hose closure consists of a rigid part made of wood, plastic, for example hard PVC, molded part made of GRP or steel, and spaced apart from one another, at least one corresponding partition, preferably made of suitable flexible material, is inserted into the hose body in the hose body on the left and right.

Der halbmondförmige Schlauchkörper wird dann an die entsprechend konstruierte Bootsschale 1 angepresst und nach herkömmlicher Art verklebt.The crescent-shaped tube body is then pressed onto the correspondingly constructed boat shell 1 and glued in the conventional manner.

Durch diese Konstruktionsweise entsteht an der Unterseite eine zusätzliche Stringerleiste 4, die das Fahrverhalten des Schlauchboots bei Geradeausfahrt und bei Kurvenfahrt positiv beeinflussen kann.This design creates an additional stringer strip 4 on the underside, which can positively influence the driving behavior of the inflatable boat when driving straight ahead and when cornering.

Ein Vergleich der linken Hälfte der Figur mit der rechten Hälfte zeigt, daß der Innenraum links fühlbar größer ist als der Innenraum rechts. Dies beruht darauf, daß bei dem herkömmlichen Schlauchboot, wie es rechts in der Figur angedeutet ist, der Schlauchkörper 5 kreisförmig profiliert ist. (Die beiden Hälften in der Figur werden durch eine gedachte Mittellinie 6 voneinander getrennt).A comparison of the left half of the figure with the right half shows that the interior on the left is perceptibly larger than the interior on the right. This is due to the fact that in the conventional inflatable boat, as indicated on the right in the figure, the tubular body 5 is profiled in a circular manner. (The two halves in the figure are separated from one another by an imaginary center line 6).

In einer Draufsicht hat der Schlauchkörper 3 im wesentlichen die Form eines U, welches in der Mitte etwas spitz zuläuft, entsprechend der üblichen Form derartiger Schlauchboote. Die beschriebene Profilierung des Schlauchkörpers 3 ist nun erfindungsgemäss zumindest an den beiden Seiten des Schlauchkörpers, d.h. an den beiden Schenkeln des U, vorgesehen, vorzugsweise aber am gesamten Schlauchkörper.In a plan view, the hose body 3 has essentially the shape of a U, which tapers somewhat in the middle, corresponding to the usual shape of such inflatable boats. The described profiling of the hose body 3 is now provided according to the invention at least on the two sides of the hose body, ie on the two legs of the U, but preferably on the entire hose body.
