Definitions

  • the invention relates to a boat provided with a fender along virtually the entire peripheral edge, which fender on the outside com­prises a body of wear-resistant material with a low coefficient of friction, and on the inside comprises a body of readily deformable material.
  • the object of the outer body of wear-resistant material with a low coefficient of friction is to protect the rubber section in the event of a collision or the like. Without this protective layer, there is a chance of the rubber curling back.
  • a fender is required in particular in the case of fast boats, for example pilot boats by means of which pilots are taken from and to seagoing vessels. However, a fender system is also desirable for other boats.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a boat with fender which meets all require­ments and is also cheap.
  • the body of wear-resistant material with a low coefficient of friction is formed by a hollow tube
  • the body of readily deformable material is formed by a strip of plastic foam, a tensioning strap or the like, which presses the tube under pre-tension against the body of plastic foam, being provided in the tube, and the body of plas­tic foam being incorporated entirely and the tube partially in a channel of rigid material lying on its side, which channel is fixed to the peripheral edge of the boat.
  • the fender system according to the inventi­on is based on a combination of two plastic parts, i.e. a thick-walled tube, for example of rigid polyethylene, and a mass, for example of foamed polethylene or polyvinyl.
  • the tube acts as the sealing strip and through its round tubular shape as a shock absorber.
  • the foam block lying behind this acts purely as the shock-absor­bing element.
  • the rigid housing inside which the two materials are situated is selected in such a way that the plastic tube can move only in one direc­tion.
  • the through-running tensioning cable or tensioning strap or other tensioning device ensures that the tube cannot fall out of the housing.
  • the housing in which the fender package is situated is protected by two slanting faces, one above and one below the channel, which form part of the ship's structure and are clad with a plastic sheet material, as a result of which obstacles which threaten to come into contact with the boat in the vertical direction can slide off.
  • the ultimate shock-absorbing effect of the system in the lateral direction is therefore obtained through flexibility of the tube, on the one hand, and the elasticity of a foam block, on the other.
  • the absorp­tion characteristic can be adapted to the use circumstances and the weight of the boat.
  • the boat 1, such as a pilot boat, is provided all the way round with an aluminium housing 2, except at the position of the centre of the stern 3.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the aluminium housing 2 can best be seen from Fig. 2.
  • the sheets 4, 5 and 7 and the sheets 4, 6 and 8 form triangles, due to the fact that the various sheets are interconnected to a rigid whole, for example by welding.
  • This housing runs all the way around the boat, but is interrupted at the centre of the stern 3.
  • the sheets 4, 5 and 6 form a channel lying on its side and rectan­gular in shape, in which a block of plastic 9 and a slightly flexible tube 10 of rigid polyethylene or the like is placed.
  • the aluminium sheets 7 and 8 are also clad with such a rigid plastic layer 11 and 12 respectively.
  • a tensioning strap, wire or chain, indicated by 13, runs through the interior of the tube 10, which is interrupted near the centre of the stern 3.
  • This tensioning strap 13 is connected to each other and tensioned near the centre of the stern 3 by means of tensioning means 14.
  • the tube 10 running around the boat 1 thus exerts a certain tensi­on on the strip 9 of plastic foam which is rectangular in cross-section.
  • the smooth tube 10 If there is a slight collision against the boat, the smooth tube 10, as it were, slides along the obstacle without damaging. Moreover, the tube 10 can deform slightly and transmit the force of the impact to the plastic foam 9.
  • the rigid claddings 11 and 12 also ensure that the edge of the boat 1 glides along below or above any obstacle.
  • the spaces bounded by the sheets 4, 5 and 7 and 4, 6 and 8 also form buoyancy boxes.
  • the tube 10 has an external diameter of 125 mm and a wall thickness of 16 mm and is made of rigid polyethylene.
  • the body 9 of plastic foam preferably has a height of 125 mm and a thickness of 75 mm, and is preferably made of polyethylene or polyvinyl foam with closed cells.
  • the claddings 11 and 12 are preferably made of rigid polyethylene and are, for example, 5 mm thick.
