Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of paddles.
- the invention more particularly relates to a paddle having a first rod having a first and a second end, opposite to each other, a first blade secured to the first rod and located in extension of its first end on a longitudinal axis of the first rod, and a female connector located on the second end of the first rod and oriented substantially towards said longitudinal axis, an inner wall of said female connector having a housing adapted to receive a retractable member laterally projecting from a complementary male connector for axial locking of the connectors.
- a single paddle has only one blade on one end of the rod, typically with a bearing pin on an opposite end.
- support olive means a transverse handle for exerting, with the palm of one hand, a thrust in the longitudinal axis of the rod, while it is held with the other hand .
- Such paddles called simple paddles, are used for the propulsion of boats such as canoes, canoes, canoes or rafts.
- single paddles are less suitable for the propulsion of other types of boats, such as kayaks, in which paddles known as double paddles are normally used, since they comprise two blades, each blade being located on one of the two ends of the stem.
- Double paddles have the ergonomic advantage of allowing two pulses into the water in a single cycle of the paddler's arm movement, but are not, however, easily usable in a boat of too great width.
- versatile paddles which can accommodate one or two blades, have already been proposed, in particular in US Pat. Nos. 6,022,255 and 1,817,414.
- assembly on the paddle of the accessory comprising the second paddle is typically complicated. .
- both blades should normally be aligned at a precise angle from each other, the user typically has to turn both parts until the correct locking angle is found.
- the purpose of this disclosure is to provide a versatile paddle in which the receipt and locking of an accessory in the female connector is simplified. This object is achieved by the fact that the inner wall of the female connector of this paddle has an oblong recess oriented towards the locking housing from an outer edge of the inner wall.
- the recess facilitates the correct insertion of the male connector of the accessory in the female connector of the paddle, and in particular the alignment of the retractable member of the male connector with the corresponding housing in the female connector , the assembly of the accessory to the paddle is faster.
- the accessory has a second blade, the correct alignment of the two blades is also better assured.
- this oblong recess may in particular have a decreasing depth towards the housing and / or be substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first rod.
- the disclosure also relates to the aforementioned paddle together with an accessory adapted to be secured in the connector of the second end of the first rod.
- This accessory may include a second blade, to form a double paddle.
- the accessory may also include a second rod, shorter than the first rod, to obtain an ergonomically appropriate distance between the two blades, this distance being typically greater than the ergonomically appropriate distance between the blade and the olive in a single paddle, but less than twice that ergonomically appropriate distance between blade and olive.
- the paddle may also comprise a tip attached to the second end of the first rod and comprising a support olive, the female connector being accessible through the mouthpiece.
- the female connector is accessible through the endpiece comprising the support olive, it is not necessary to separate it to attach an accessory, such as for example a second rod with a second blade, to the paddle through the female connector. This facilitates the operations related to the attachment and separation of such an accessory and limits the risk of loss of the tip comprising the olive.
- an accessory such as for example a second rod with a second blade
- the female connector can open onto an external surface of the olive.
- the possible accessory can be attached to the female connector through the olive, particularly simple manner.
- the tip can be attached to an outer surface of the first rod, which allows for easier assembly of the tip and the rod, while providing a larger section female connector.
- the tip can be divided longitudinally into two parts, which allows to fix it on the outer surface of the first rod by connecting the two parts transversely by voltage constrained connectors.
- the olive can be movable between a first position, situated in front of the connector, and a second position, in which the olive remains secured to the first rod, but discovers the connector.
- this mobile olive does not constitute an obstacle to the attaching an accessory to the female connector, even if it is not separated from the paddle.
- the olive can be movable by pivoting between said first and second positions, in particular with a pivot axis substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the first rod, the axis of pivoting of the olive being able to be more particularly substantially orthogonal to a main axis of the olive.
- Such pivoting allows to fold the olive against the outer surface of the rod, thus limiting the size of the olive when an accessory is attached to the female connector.
