Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for fixing a tubular buoyancy chamber to a hull, particularly for inflatable watercraft and the like.
- the device for fixing each one of the tubular buoyancy chambers to the hull comprises a first plurality of loops 11, which are rigidly coupled to the corresponding side 6 (particularly along the sheer), a second plurality of loops 12, which are fixed along the surface of the tubular buoyancy chamber 7, and an elongated retention element 13, which is suitable to be inserted alternately and respectively in the loops of the first plurality 11 and of the second plurality 12 and to be fixed at mutually opposite first ends 14 and second ends 15 to the hull 3 ( Figure 4).
- the tubular buoyancy chamber 7, once the device has been assembled can be retained firmly at the side 6 of the hull 3.
- the loops of the second plurality 12 are substantially ring-shaped, are preferably made of a suitable metallic material, and are fixed to the surface of the rubberized fabric of the tubular buoyancy chamber 7 by adhesive bonding of respective patches 20 of synthetic material ( Figures 3 and 4).

Abstract
Description
Claims (15)
- A device for fixing a tubular buoyancy chamber to a hull, particularly for inflatable watercraft and the like, characterized in that it comprises a first plurality of loops (11) rigidly coupled to the sides (6) of said hull (3), a second plurality of loops (12) distributed along said tubular buoyancy chamber (7), and an elongated retention element (13), which is adapted to be inserted alternately in each one of said loops respectively of said first and second pluralities (11, 12) and to be fixed to said hull (3) at mutually opposite first and second ends (14, 15), so as to retain said tubular buoyancy chamber (7) adjacent to said side (6).
- The device according to claim 1, characterized in that said second plurality of loops (12) is fixed to said tubular buoyancy chamber (7) by means of a respective plurality of patches (20) made of synthetic material, which are bonded with adhesive on the outside of said tubular buoyancy chamber (7).
- The device according to claims 1 and 2, characterized in that the loops of said first plurality (11) are fixed at a slot (16) formed along said sides (6) of said hull (3).
- The device according to claims 1 and 2, particularly for inflatable watercraft provided with a pair of tubular buoyancy chambers (7), characterized in that the loops of said first plurality (11) are fixed at two substantially straight slots (16) provided respectively along each one of said sides (6).
- The device according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that said retention element (13) is constituted by a flexible and inextensible cable.
- The device according to claim 5, characterized in that said first end (14) of said cable (13) is fixed detachably, by means of a first snap hook (21), to a first eye (22) that is rigidly coupled to said hull (3).
- The device according to claims 5 and 6, characterized in that said second end (15) of said cable (13) is fixed to said hull (3) by means of a second snap hook (27), which is connected to a screw-adjustable tension element (28) that in turn is anchored to a respective second eye (25).
- The device according to one or more of claims 4 to 7, characterized in that said first eye (22) is arranged at the stem end portion (18) of said slot (16).
- The device according to one or more of claims 4 to 8, characterized in that said second eye (25) is fixed at the bow (5) of the inflatable watercraft (2).
- The device according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that said cable (13) is of the stranded steel type.
- The device according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that said retention element (13) is constituted by a substantially elastically flexible bar.
- The device according to claim 11, characterized in that said bar (13) has a transverse circular cross-section.
- The device according to claims 11 and 12, characterized in that said bar (13) is made of steel.
- The device according to one or more of claims 11 to 13, characterized in that said first end (14) of said bar (13) is threaded and rigidly fixed, at the stem end portion (18) of said slot (16), to one of the loops of said first plurality (11) by means of nuts (29).
- The device according to one or more of claims 11 to 14, characterized in that said second end (15) of said bar (13) is threaded and is fixed so that it can slide axially, at the bow end portion (17) of said slot (16), to one of the loops of said first plurality (11) by means of nuts (29).
