Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the nautical sector and, in particular, concerns a telescopic gangway (or otherwise known as "multi-stage” one, to be understood as walkway platforms telescopically coupled each other), as well as of the retractable (or even re-entrant) type, used for the access (or, in other words, the ascent) and/or the descent of people to/from moored boats.
  • a telescopic gangway or otherwise known as "multi-stage” one, to be understood as walkway platforms telescopically coupled each other
  • the retractable (or even re-entrant) type used for the access (or, in other words, the ascent) and/or the descent of people to/from moored boats.
  • the automatic retractable (or re-entrant) telescopic gangway object of the invention presents a safety of use greater than the telescopic gangways of equivalent use of the prior art and is suitable to be installed on a boat so as to remain suitably contained in a housing made in the hull of the boat itself (thus being almost totally hidden from view) when it takes the rest or non-use condition, for example during navigation.
  • the pedestrian structures of landing in boats are technical accessories (also of removable or transportable type) for boating which, in operating or use conditions, take a horizontal or slightly inclined position and join two separate stations, allowing people to simply walk of ascent or descent with respect to the boat or to transport objects between the boats and the wharf.
  • the telescopic gangways referred to in the present invention include a walkable transit platform composed of a plurality (generally two or three) of longitudinal support elements, telescopically coupled each other and each having a rectangular profile, according to a top plan view.
  • the walkable transit platform of a telescopic gangway presents, as a whole, a width such that to allow the passage of only one person and a length that allows to get on or to get off the boat, when moored at a given distance from wharfs, docks or piers of ports or landing areas to the mainland, in conditions of ample comfort and high and however satisfactory safety.
  • the retractable telescopic gangways of known type present several construction conceptions, different each other by type and mutual coupling of the component elements which in turn are made using increasingly sophisticated and carefully designed materials also in the boating industry both in terms of performance and in terms of aesthetic point of view, and this inevitably as a result of the high value or quality of the boats in which they are intended to be installed.
  • Choice of construction materials is based, indeed, on assessments of not only technical and functional but also and increasingly aesthetic profile: particularly, stainless steels, light anti-corrosion alloys, tempered glass, precious woods such as teak and/or technological polymers are more and more used to significantly increase the technical features and aesthetic qualities of the pedestrian landing structures concerned and thus satisfy the notoriously demanding and detailed requirements of the shipowner or in any case of the nautical sector market.
  • the retractable telescopic gangways of known type are operated in a predominantly automatic manner, meaning that the telescopic movement of the transit platforms and of the metallic vertical gripping and/or support uprights associated therewith (better known in the nautical sector as “candlesticks") takes place through actuation means (of various construction conception and generally of hydraulic type) operated and managed by a central processing and control unit available to the user (the owner, the skipper or another reliable person authorized for the purpose) on board the boat.
  • Each vertical upright (or candlestick) is connected with the other by a rope, maritime term used to indicate generically a cord or cable made of vegetable or synthetic fiber: the combination of various candlesticks and the various ropes forms a sort of rail on the gangway, that is a kind of railing or parapet protecting from falls during the transit of people.
  • a typical retractable and automatic telescopic gangway of the prior art thus includes a main transit platform which mainly develops along a longitudinal axis and defines a first upper floor plan, and at least one auxiliary transit platform, telescopically and axially coupled with the main platform, operatively connected with actuation means which, when driven, automatically and selectively position it between a rest position, in which the auxiliary platform is contained in the overall dimensions defined by the main footing, and an operating position in which the auxiliary platform projects axially from the main platform and defines a second upper floor plan, which thus constitutes an axial appendage of the first upper floor plan together with it is accessible to the user.
  • a retractable and automatic telescopic gangway of the known type comprises a plurality of gripping uprights, coupled with at least one of the side edges of the main platform and of the auxiliary platform and configured to be to be selectively and automatically placed between a passive position, in which the gripping uprights are in non-operative conditions and arranged, generally horizontally, along a first linear direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the main platform, and an active position, in which the gripping uprights are in operative conditions and protrude upwardly, generally vertically, from at least one of the side edges of the main platform and of the auxiliary platform along a second linear direction defining a substantially right angle with the longitudinal axis of the main platform, so as to be available for the grip of the user's hand and to help to provide a safety and support railing during the passage of the user on the upper decking surfaces of the transit platforms.
  • the gripping uprights integral with the transit platforms of the same pass from the passive position to the operating position and vice versa due to the presence of the ropes which connect them each other and which, in turn, are attached to at least one of the side edges of the transit platforms.
  • those ropes which define the isosceles sides of such a virtual perimetrical trapezium are placed near the front and rear part of the automatic retractable telescopic gangway and are, therefore, the first ones to be challenged by people during the ascent on board of the boat and the descent from it.
  • Such a front gripping candlestick allows people to access (and of course leave) the boats themselves in a more practical, safer and more comfortable way than the gangways of the more traditional type, totally devoid of front uprights, thus limiting with respect to the latter the risks of accidental and dangerous fall of people or allowing the walkway of people on the transit platforms of these pedestrian facilities in greater serenity and tranquility, without especially the necessary assistance of the crew and/or of staff present on the quay.
  • the fact of delegating the movement of the gripping uprights properly to the ropes or cords determines the need to provide for them a certain thickness (not lower than 15 mm) which impacts on the overall dimensions of the article especially when the gripping uprights themselves are located in passive position and, in return, the gangway is in non-operative conditions.
  • the retractable and automatic telescopic walkways of the prior art of the type described above present the drawback that, when the candlesticks take the active position and the auxiliary platform the operating position (such that the gangway, in its complex, take the operative conditions and is available for use), the tensioning of the ropes is not optimal and in any case it is not immediately effective, requiring manual intervention by the operator to reach the maximum achievable, in the tensioning of the ropes.
  • a last but not least drawback suffered by the known retractable and automatic telescopic gangways derives from the fact that the gripping uprights, when they are in active position, are not perfectly stable in a substantially vertical position.
  • the present invention therefore intends to overcome the drawbacks of the known art just shown.
  • primary purpose of the present invention is to provide a retractable and automatic telescopic gangway for getting on and/or getting off moored boats of persons which allows to reduce the overall dimensions of the ropes with respect to the equivalent gangways of the prior art.
  • a second purpose of the invention is to give substance to a retractable telescopic gangway for getting on and/or getting off moored boats of persons which constitutes a more linear and more harmonious solution, and therefore presents a better aesthetic effect, with respect to similar gangways of known type.
  • the retractable and automatic telescopic gangway of the present invention comprises ropes of a maximum thickness of 10 mm, thus having overall dimensions smaller than those ones of the ropes installed on retractable telescopic gangways of known type.
  • the retractable and automatic telescopic gangway comprises a composite control rod, operatively connected through means of fulcrum with the gripping uprights of at least one of the side edges of the main platform and of the auxiliary platform and partly coupled with the main board and partly with the auxiliary plaftomr in such a way that the actuation means simultaneously and indirectly position, by means of the control rod and the fulcrum means, the gripping uprights (or candlesticks) between the active position and the passive position while moving the telescopic auxiliary platform between the rest position and the operating position.
  • the handling of the pick-up candlesticks is determined not so much by the ropes, as in the prior art, but by a control rod integral at least to the movable auxiliary telescopic platform coupled with the main transit platform which, preferably, remains fixed as soon as the gangway of the invention comes out from the dedicated room, made in the boat where it is housed when not necessary for use.
  • This aspect allows, on one hand, to install less cluttered ropes and, on the other hand, to install even a single rope (connecting it with the upper free end of the gripping uprights), since this presents purely the function of contributing, together with the gripping uprights themselves, to create the safety railing when the telescopic gangway is in operative conditions.
  • the retractable and automatic telescopic gangway of the invention presents a more linear, more harmonious, more homogeneous aesthetic effect than the retractable telescopic walkways of the prior art, marked by a greater number of ropes variously inter-crossed in order to move the gripping uprights in motion.
  • the telescopic gangway of the invention also comprises a front (or head or peak) gripping upright and/or, even more preferably, also a rear gripping upright (or tail), operatively connected with the control rod.
  • front and rear gripping uprights allow to eliminate the inclined and tensioned ropes (as a result of the achievement of the active position by the gripping uprights) to form the typical linear ramps which constitute the oblique sides of the virtual isosceles trapezium previously introduced, typical of the retractable and automatic telescopic gangways of the prior art.
  • the retractable and automatic telescopic gangway of the present invention tensions the ropes (which contribute to form the safety railing) in an optimal manner and in any case to a greater extent than the known telescopic gangways, when the gripping uprights (or candlesticks) take the active position.
  • the retractable and automatic telescopic gangway of the present invention involves the aforementioned optimum and/or ameliorative tensioning of the ropes in an immediate, automatic and controlled manner together with the lifting, exit or rotation opening of the gripping uprights, without requiring no manual intervention by the operator.
  • the gripping uprights (or candlesticks) installed in the automatic retractable telescopic gangway of the invention are decidedly stable and fixed in position and the task of support elements of the safety parapet is therefore entrusted to them - rather than to the ropes as it traditionally occurs in the known art -, having mechanical resistance to traction and to thrust higher than that one found in the equivalent telescopic gangways of the prior art: this still depends on the innovative and significant presence, in the telescopic gangway of the invention, of the control rod operatively connected through fulcrum means to the gripping uprights of at least one of the side edges of the main platform and of the auxiliary platform, with both of which is coupled.
  • the retractable telescopic gangway of the invention allows to effectively guarantee the regulatory height (not less than 1 meter) provided for them by the MCA (Maritime and Coast-Guard Agency) regulations.
  • MCA Maritime and Coast-Guard Agency
  • the retractable and totally automatic telescopic gangway (at least in its essential components) of the invention, used for getting on and/or getting off moored boats (not shown), such as yachts or pleasure yachts, of persons, is illustrated in figure 1 where it is globally numbered with 1.
  • retractable telescopic walkway 1 for getting on and/or getting off moored boats of persons comprises:
  • the retractable and automatic telescopic walkway 1 includes a composite control rod, as a whole numbered with 8, operatively connected through fulcrum means, generally indicated with 9, with the gripping uprights 7 of one of the side edges 2a, 2b, 4a, 4b of the main platform 2 and of the auxiliary platform 4 and coupled partly with the main platform 2 and partly with the auxiliary platform 4 in such a way that the actuation means 5 position both simultaneously and indirectly, that is through the control rod 8 and the fulcrum means 9, the gripping uprights 7 between the active position and the passive position while the actuation means 5 themselves move the auxiliary platform 4 between the rest position and the operating position.
  • the telescopic gangway 1 of the invention is suitably housed in a dedicated room usually made at stern of the boat.
  • the control rod 8 is hidden from view as it is located below the first floor plan 3 and the second floor plan 6 (thus being contained in the at least partly box-like structure of the transit platforms 2 and 4) and presents a predominantly tubular structure (with a square profile, for example).
  • control rod 8 presents an axial length lower than the sum of the length of the main transit platform 2 and the length of the auxiliary transit platform 4.
  • the actuation means 5 cooperate, as said, indirectly, that is by means of the movement of the auxiliary transit platform 4, with the control rod 8 so as to make it sliding alternately between a retracted position (for example inside the aforesaid dedicated room made at stern of the boat), defined when the auxiliary platform 4 takes the rest position, and a fully projecting position, defined at least when the auxiliary platform 4 takes the operating position and the telescopic gangway 1 is definitively in the operative conditions of figure 1 .

  • the driving tubular rod 11 is axially slidable of relative motion with respect to the primary tubular rod 10 integrally with the auxiliary platform 4 during the axial telescopic motion of exit and return of the auxiliary platform 4 with respect to the main platform 2: in any case, the axial sliding of the driving tubular rod 11 stops before the axial telescopic movement of the auxiliary platform 4 stops, as it will be further explained.
  • the primary tubular service rod 10 remains fixed in the initial position and this, in particular, at least until the front gripping upright 20 passes from the passive position to the active position, as a result of the thrust exerted by actuation means 5 on the auxiliary transit platform 4, as it will be hereinafter detailed in depth.
  • the driving tubular running rod 11 is almost totally superimposed to the primary tubular service rod 10 in the rest position of the auxiliary platform 4 while, followed by its axial sliding along the longitudinal axis Z, the driving tubular running rod 11 almost totally protrudes from the primary tubular service rod 10 in the operating position of the auxiliary platform 4, remaining anyway superimposed to the primary tubular rod 10 for an inner end 11a, as highlighted in figure 4 .
  • the driving tubular rod 11 is made integral with the primary tubular rod 10 by means of a shaped bracket 12, better visible in figures 5 , 8 and 9 and supporting the intermediate fulcrum means 9: such a shaped bracket 12 is provided with folded ends 12a, 12b joined, for instance by welding, to the outer lateral wall 10c of the primary tubular rod 10 at a first end 10a of the primary tubular rod 10 itself.

  • Figures 32 and 33 show that the shaped rear plate 69 has a substantially rectangular profile in which the lower greater side 69a is totally linear and is welded on the upper wall 10g of the primary tubular rod 10, while the upper greater side 69b is only partly linear, being curvilinear for almost half of its length (where the section of the shaped rear plate 69 is reduced) starting from a lateral height 69c; the through loophole 70 extends in length following such a profile of the upper greater side 69b and in proximity thereof, without affecting the central area 69d of the shaped plate 69.
  • the arched, almost sinusoidal (therefore soft and sweet), profile of the through loophole 70 made in the shaped rear plate 69 allows the lifting (or opening) and the controlled return (or closing) of the rear gripping candlestick 44, with the evident advantages that this entails, such as avoiding sudden and noisy impacts between the rear candlestick 44 and the main platform 2.
  • the second catching means 43 (in this case, particularly, the shaped rear plate 69) comprise third axial end-of-stroke means, as a whole indicated with 79 and adapted to counteract the relative motion of the driving tubular rod 11 with respect to the primary tubular rod 10 when the front gripping upright 20 is in the passive position and the auxiliary transit platform 4 passes from the operating position to the rest position telescopically returning into the main transit platform 2.
  • the third end-of-stroke means 79 are extremely useful in the case where, due to the presence of encrustations, saltiness or other impurities (not unusual in the marine environment) which penetrate into the telescopic gangway 1 of the invention, the driving tubular rod 11 difficulty returns to the retracted position, in which it is totally above the primary tubular rod 10, and moves axially in an irregular manner: in this case, the front candlestick 20 cannot descend or close downwardly and remains still projecting upwardly, in an inclined position.
  • the third axial end-of-stroke means 79 are arranged, inside the main platform 2, in a position such that the driving tubular rod 11 interferes with them before the auxiliary platform 4 is completely telescopically retracted into the main platform 2 (for example, when 5 cm still lack to the telescopic complete re-enter of the auxiliary platform 4 into the main platform 2): this is just this interference between the driving rod 11 and the third axial end-of-stroke means 79 that advantageously generates the downwardly remaining rotation of the front candlestick 20 suspended inclined due to the presence of dirt or impurities of various types.
  • the third axial end-of-stroke means 79 preferably comprise a front linear (basically vertical) wall 80 (coinciding with the lateral height 69c) of the shaped rear plate 69 and a back strike surface 11e of the driving tubular rod 11 which, in its retracted position, contrasts against such a linear wall 80 of the shaped rear plate 69.
  • the front linear wall 80 belongs to the truncated left height of the substantially (though not completely) rectangular profile of the shaped rear plate 69.
  • the fulcrum means 9 associated with the various gripping uprights (candlesticks) 7 of the telescopic gangway 1 of the invention namely to the front gripping upright 20, to the intermediate gripping upright 59 and to the rear gripping upright 44, comprise:
  • the intermediate plate 60 and the eccentric body 71 coincide with the spacer block just introduced, also exploiting its function.
  • FIGS. 34-41 illustrate the operating sequence preferably followed by the automatic retractable telescopic gangway 1 of the invention for positioning in its operative conditions, ready to be used, starting from the non-operative conditions in which it is generally housed in a dedicated room made at aft of a boat.
  • the retractable telescopic gangway 1 of the present invention presents a functioning managed by a central processing and control unit (not shown in the attached figures) available to the operator, electrically connected with the actuation means 5 which can be indifferently of hydraulic, pneumatic or electric type (such as an electric motor).
  • the gripping uprights (or candlesticks) 7 are substantially one above the other, in horizontal position, and precisely - following an order of numbering from bottom to top - the intermediate upright 59 is the first, the rear upright 44 is the second and the front upright 20 is the third and last (i.e. that one placed above the other two): therefore, inevitably, the front upright 20 is the first one to be lifted or opened, as well as the last to be lowered or closed.
  • the rear upright 44 is the second one to be moved in rotation (both in opening and closing) and the intermediate upright 59 is the last one to be lifted or opened, as well as the first one to be lowered or closed.
  • the second gripping upright which is moved in rotation could be the intermediate upright while the last upright that is raised or opened, as well as the first one that is lowered or closed, could be the rear upright: what remains constant is the opening movement and closing movement of the front upright, which respectively precedes and follows always those ones of the other two.
  • the front gripping upright 20 doesn't rise (doesn't open), by rotating counterclockwise upwardly, and remains in the passive position until the axial sliding motion of the driving tubular rod 11 (which, it is recalled, is integral with the auxiliary platform 4) is not stopped by the first axial end-of-stroke means 19 and thus the first catching means 24, associated with the front part (or tip) 4e of the auxiliary platform 4, start operating.
  • the driving rod 11 begins axially dragging the intermediate construction B block outwardly (as said, formed by shaped bracket 12, reinforcing insert 14, first axial end-of-stroke means 19, third catching means 58) as well as the primary tubular rod 10 and the main platform 2 made integral with it by the axial sliding means 48: in getting this operation, it follows therefore that the thrust of the actuation means 5 exceeds or overcomes the opposing force of the pre-loaded elastic recovery means 39.
  • the actuation pin 61 of the third catching means 58 begins to approach the sharp edge 64 of the guide notch 62 made through in the thickness of the intermediate plate 60 and, in this case, the pre-loaded elastic recovery means 39 (whose return force has been overcome by the thrust of the piston 87 of the actuation means 5) has to allow the second catching means 43 (and particularly the eccentric body 71) starts lifting (or opening) the rear gripping upright 44 through a clockwise rotation thereof around the third axis.
  • the progressive exit of the auxiliary platform 4 continues to cause the dragging of the intermediate constructive block B up to the point where - figure 38 - the actuation pin 61 touches the sharp edge 64 causing the axial sliding of the primary rod 10 (and with it, of the main platform 2) to stop and, in turn, the entry of the actuation pin 61 itself into the guide notch 62 and the counterclockwise rotation not only of the intermediate plate 60 but also of the intermediate gripping upright 59 around the third rotation axis X" defined by the intermediate fulcrum means 9: in this way, also the intermediate gripping upright 59 starts the movement which brings it from the passive position to the active position.
  • Figure 40 shows how also the rear candlestick 44 and the intermediate candlestick 59 have reached the definitive active (generally vertical) position as a result of a further exit stroke (equal for example to 15 mm) by the auxiliary platform 4 with respect to the main platform 2: the stop of the upwardly exit rotation of the rear candlestick 44 takes place thanks to the third angular end-of-stroke means 76 (particularly, thanks to the contact of the transverse peg 68 with the second concave wall 78 delimiting the through loophole 70), while the stop of the upwardly exit rotation of the intermediate candlestick 59 takes place thanks to the second angular end-of-stroke means 65 (particularly, thanks to the mechanical interference of the flat wall 67 with the inner bottom 2c of the main platform 2).
  • the rear support rope (or little row) 88a (up to now indicated dashed and preferably having a thickness of 10 mm) connected with the upper ends 44b, 59b respectively of the rear upright 44 and of the intermediate upright 59 is in the correct position, suitably tensioned and, as schematically shown in figure 40 , it simply occurs (and only in this phase) that the operator manually connects the front rope (or litter row) 88b with the upper ends 44b and 20b respectively of the intermediate upright 59 and the front upright 20.
  • the operator connects also the accessory and optional support ropes 89 and 90 (up to now indicated dashed too) arranged below the upper rope 88 (formed by the rear rope 88a and the front rope 88b) with the gripping uprights 7: in such a way, the telescopic gangway 1 of the current invention definitively takes the operating conditions, being available to use, shown in figure 41 .
  • retractable telescopic gangway for getting on and/or getting off moored boats of persons which is claimed here by exclusivity, not shown in the following drawing tables, could also include a second composite control rod, coupled with the main platform and with the auxiliary platform (similarly to what has been previously highlighted for the only control rod of the embodiment described in detail in relation to the attached figures) and associated with one of the side edges of the main platform and the auxiliary platform symmetrically opposed to that one to which a first composite control rod is associated, which does not affect the advantage provided by the present invention.
  • the gripping uprights could be provided not only on one of the side edges of the transit platforms but on both.
  • the retractable and automatic telescopic gangway could include a number of auxiliary transit platforms greater than two, each of which, in this case, telescopically coupled with the telescopic and movable transit platform immediately adjacent to it: in non-operative conditions of the telescopic gangway of the invention, each of these auxiliary transit platforms will be pack-contained inside the main transit platform having greater dimensions.
