Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of boating, especially recreational boating, and relates to an auxiliary and collapsible support, stop and/or transit unit for boats (sometimes acting as a footboard), preferably though not exclusively adapted to be installed at the stern of such boats.
  • the invention presented here relates to an ancillary and auxiliary unit (or even a structure or even further an assembly) for boats, which provides a movable surface for momentarily supporting objects (typically, such as deck chairs, beach towels, mattresses, tenders, watercrafts, jet skis) or a movable surface for people to stand and/or transit and that is generally installed at the stern of boats.
  • a movable surface for momentarily supporting objects (typically, such as deck chairs, beach towels, mattresses, tenders, watercrafts, jet skis) or a movable surface for people to stand and/or transit and that is generally installed at the stern of boats.
  • auxiliary unit of the invention can be also installed on the side of the hull of the boat, protruding from its gunwale.
  • the auxiliary footboard unit of the invention is advantageously usable, for example, to allow hauling and launching tenders or other equipment or service vessels of the boat (if used as a gangplank), and to allow people to transit (again if used as a gangplank so that it acts as a point of access to the surrounding water, including by diving, and as a point of climbing out therefrom or if used as a boarding ladder) or temporarily stay there for leisure activities (again if used as a gangplank).
  • a gangplank is an ancillary component that has become essential for pleasure boats and/or cruise ships (in the extended and technical meaning of the term, thus not limited to ships traditionally identified as "cruise ships” and consisting of a motor ship of significant size, used for voyages for touristic and recreational purposes lasting at least one week, during which customers are entertained on board with the various facilities present, especially of a recreational and sports nature), with which it is externally associated.
  • the gangplanks are of the movable and often tilting type, being attached to the boats through the interposition of main movement means, which generally allows defining, for the gangplanks themselves:
  • auxiliary or ancillary units of a fixed or movable type which can be installed on pleasure boats, to which the present invention is directed, are also the boarding ladders for climbing into the water or out therefrom, used in particular by people, even those who are less agile from a motor point of view, on boats to gradually immerse themselves for a swim and climb back up easily afterwards.
  • the support platform (considered as such even when it consists of a series of elementary support platforms, mutually coupled in a telescopic manner) of the gangplanks must preferably be provided with appropriate peripheral support structures, known as handrails.
  • the boarding ladder (either removable or not) for climbing down and back up on board traditionally provided in boats must be positioned to the side of the gangplank itself, especially because the current trend by users is that of keeping the gangplank lowered (or open) on the water surface even under mooring conditions.
  • gangplanks and boarding ladders of the type briefly described above are designed to provide greater comfort and additional pleasant situations of enjoyment or relaxation for people on the boats on which they are installed, while also respecting adequate safety conditions for the same people who stand even temporarily on the gangplanks or use the boarding ladders.
  • auxiliary support, stop and/or transit units for boats of the prior art briefly described above also suffer from some recognized limitations or at least from a constructional concept, which, besides the design differences from manufacturer to manufacturer, which allow the expected technical performance to be effectively achieved in different manners, has been anchored to the traditional standards described above for years.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the limitations of the prior art just pointed out concerning gangplanks (fixed or movable and folding (or collapsible)) and boarding ladders for boats.
  • auxiliary support, stop and/or transit unit for boats which has a smaller volume, especially under resting or non-use conditions, than the equivalent auxiliary units of known type. Therefore, in the cognitive sphere of such a purpose, it is a first task of the instant invention to devise an auxiliary support, stop and/or transit unit for boats, which requires less processing of the predetermined part (or peripheral installation area) of the hull of the boat, generally defined at the stern.
  • auxiliary support, stop and/or transit unit for boats which is effectively usable both as a (fixed or movable) gangplank and as a boarding ladder, by means of appropriate variations in size and the moving system.
  • the auxiliary support, stop and/or transit unit of the invention has a smaller overall volume (in the horizontal and vertical directions) and a simpler constructional concept than the auxiliary units of the prior art more directly comparable thereto.
  • the auxiliary support, stop and/or transit unit for boats innovatively comprises articulation means, interposed between the load-bearing frame and the service platform to which they are coupled, operatively cooperating with the service platform so as to roto-translate the service platform, by means of a horizontal movement associated with a rotation about one or more horizontal axes orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, alternately between a resting position, in which the service platform is arranged according to a horizontal plane and retracted with respect to the load-bearing frame, and a use position, in which the service platform is arranged according to a horizontal plane, projecting and advanced outwards with respect to the load-bearing frame to increase the useful surface area available to people, objects, items, tools and/or boat accessories.
  • auxiliary support, stop and/or transit unit of the present invention can be effectively and conveniently employed both as a gangplank and as a boarding ladder, especially at the stern, in boats.
  • the auxiliary support, stop and/or transit unit of the invention allows increasing the useful surface area of the last front step compared to the auxiliary units currently available in the market, if it also includes a plurality of main support platforms operatively connected to main movement means which are distinct from the aforesaid articulation means and through which the latter are connected to the load-bearing framework.
  • auxiliary support, stop and/or transit unit for boats of the invention is illustrated under application conditions and under various operating conditions in figures 1-5 where it is indicated by reference numeral 1 as a whole.
  • auxiliary unit 1 of the invention depicted in figures 1-16 takes the configuration of a movable and collapsible (as well as raiseable or liftable) gangplank, where such a term means a gangplank the load-bearing frame 2 of which is coupled through movement means to the hull S of the boat (not shown in its entirety in the accompanying figures), as will be better highlighted later.
  • the auxiliary unit 1 comprises:
  • the auxiliary unit 1 comprises articulation means, indicated by reference numeral 5 as a whole, interposed between the load-bearing frame 2 and the service platform 3 to which they are coupled, operatively cooperating with the service platform 3 so as to roto-translate the service platform 3 itself, by means of a horizontal movement associated with (or resulting from) a rotation about one or more horizontal axes Z orthogonal to the longitudinal direction Y (thus, according to a traditional movement pattern of the rod and crank type), alternating between a resting position (shown as an example in figures 1 and 2 ), where the service platform 3 is arranged according to a horizontal plane and retracted as far as possible from the load-bearing frame 2 (in this case without falling within the volume of the peripheral installation area P of the hull S), and a use position (e.g., shown in figures 3-5 ), in which the service platform 3 is arranged according to a horizontal plane, projecting and advanced outwards with respect to the load-bearing frame 2 to increase
  • the horizontal axes Z are orthogonally incident on the vertical plane defined by each of two lateral flanks 16, 17 delimiting the service platform 3 on symmetrically opposing parts, as better seen in figure 6 and in the sections in figures 7-10 .
  • the articulation means 5 are operatively connected to actuation means of automatic type, indicated by reference numeral 6 as a whole and diagrammatically shown in figure 7 , suitable for being actuated to move the service platform 3 in rotation and horizontal translation, according to a rotation in a first direction (in this case counterclockwise, by way of example only) which advances the service platform 3 with respect to the load-bearing frame 2 and transfers it from the resting position to the use position, and according to a rotation in a second direction (in this case clockwise), opposite to the first direction, which retracts the service platform 3 with respect to the load-bearing frame 2 and transfers it from the use position to the resting position.
  • actuation means of automatic type indicated by reference numeral 6 as a whole and diagrammatically shown in figure 7 , suitable for being actuated to move the service platform 3 in rotation and horizontal translation, according to a rotation in a first direction (in this case counterclockwise, by way of example only) which advances the service platform 3 with respect to the load-bearing frame
  • the articulation means 5 are preferably coupled directly to the service platform 3 and indirectly, through the interposition of main movement means, indicated by reference numeral 7 as a whole, to the load-bearing frame 2, so that the auxiliary unit 1 of the invention - configured to act as a gangplank- is definable as movable.
  • the articulation means can be coupled directly either to the service platform or to the load-bearing framework, so that, in that case, the auxiliary unit of the invention - again configured to act as a gangplank- will be definable as fixed or stationary.
  • the auxiliary unit 1 of the invention comprises a plurality of main support platforms 8 (in the embodiment shown in the accompanying figures 1-5 , such main platforms 8 are precisely four in number) operatively connected to the main movement means 7 which arrange them mutually side by side and coplanar at least in the use position of the service platform 3; it is worth noting that a rear main support platform 81 is arranged close to the load-bearing frame 2 and a front main (or outer) support platform 82 is more cantilevered than the others adjacent thereto and is arranged close to the service platform 3 to which it is coupled through the articulation means 5.
  • the main movement means 7 arrange the main support platforms 8 in a plurality of operating positions, the most obvious of which can be seen in figures 2 , 4 , and 5 in particular (although figures 1 and 3 also show the main platforms 8 in an operating position in which they are mutually aligned and placed side by side on a horizontal plane); in at least one of such operating positions, the service platform 3 can or cannot take the working position.
  • the service platform 3 takes the working position in figures 3 , 4 and 5 , as mentioned above.
  • the service platform 3 is vertically aligned with the front main support platform (or footboard or step) 82 adjacent thereto with respect to which it has a smaller extension in length, measured along the aforesaid longitudinal direction X in order to properly meet the volume and aesthetic requirements.
  • the service platform 3 is aligned horizontally, along the longitudinal direction X, with the front main support platform 82 directly adjacent thereto (the former, following a hypothetical numbering of the main platforms 8 from left to right or from the outside to the hull S of the boat).
  • the service platform 3 is arranged above the front main support platform 82 the overall volume of which is included.
  • the floor 4 of the service platform 3 is coplanar to a floor 9 of the main front support platform 82, when the service platform 3 itself takes the use position, so as to form a composite floor 10 which conveniently and advantageously extends or lengthens the floor 9 of the main front support platform 82 and, if required, increases the useful surface area thereof available to people standing there, items, articles for recreation and pleasure in water as well as boat accessories, such as typically a tender, a dinghy, a mattress and the like.
  • figure 3 shows that, in a preferable but not binding manner, the composite floor 10 consisting of the floor 4 of the service platform 3 and the floor 9 of the front main support platform 82 is arranged at a lower level (usually of the order of 2-3 cm) than a floor 18 of at least one main support platform 83 adjacent thereto and more retracted with respect to the main platform 82 (the latter, following the hypothetical numbering of the main platforms 8 from left to right, mentioned earlier) when the service platform 3 takes the use position.
  • a lower level usually of the order of 2-3 cm
  • This level difference is generated when the service platform 3 is in the operating position and does not create any particular problems for the user or in the maneuvering of boat accessories (such as a tender), because the movement of the service platform 3 itself by the articulation means 5 (operated in turn by the actuation means 6) generally occurs (or is recommended to occur) when the auxiliary unit 1 of the invention is in the operating position in figures 2 , 4 and 5 , i.e., when the various main support platforms (or steps) 8 thereof are not horizontally coplanar with each other (the configuration in figure 3 being shown mostly for educational and illustrative purposes to better highlight the function of the service platform 3).
  • the floor 4 of the service platform 3 is also coplanar to a floor 11 of the second main support platform 83 (see figure 1 ) even when:
  • the articulation means 5 comprise a pair of articulated quadrilateral structures 12, 13, each of which is operatively connected to the service platform 3 through first hinged means, indicated by reference numeral 14 as a whole, and to the main movement means 7 through second hinged means, indicated by reference numeral 15 as a whole.
  • Figures from 7 to 16 preferably illustrate each of the articulated quadrilateral structures 12, 13 including a pair of shaped rods 19, 20 spaced apart from each other (in a manner which is substantially always the same), which describe a rotation arc of about 90° when the service platform 3 transitions from the resting position to the use position and vice versa, and take:
  • an articulated quadrilateral structure 12, 13, preferably in a double version, as a favored but non-binding embodiment of the articulation means 5 allows avoiding a drawback typically found in the support, stop and/or transit structures for boats of the prior art (one of which is shown by the prior document published as WO2014/199314 A2 ), most directly comparable to that of the present invention; indeed, the articulated quadrilateral structure 12, 13 allows not including a chain system to maintain the tensioning of the simple pivoting arms (e.g., of the type indicated by reference numerals 4a and 4b in WO2014/199314 A2 ), resulting in a constructional simplification of the articulation means 5 used in the invention as compared to the aforesaid prior art.
  • first hinged means 14 they include a pair of upper transverse studs 21, 22, placed side by side and spaced apart from each other, each of which identifies one of the previously defined horizontal rotation axes Z and supports a distal end 19a, 20a of one of the shaped rods 19, 20 of the respective articulated quadrilateral structures 12, 13.
  • the second hinged means 15 include a pair of lower transverse studs 23, 24 mutually placed side by side and spaced apart from each other, each of which identifies one of the rotation axes Z and supports a proximal end 19b, 20b, opposite to said distal end 19a, 20a, of one of the shaped rods 19, 20 of the respective articulated quadrilateral structures 12, 13.
  • the articulation means can comprise a number of articulated quadrilateral structures different from that just described with reference to the accompanying drawings, such a number being capable of varying from one according to design choices.
  • the auxiliary unit 1 of the instant invention comprises end-of-stroke means, indicated by reference numeral 25 as a whole, defined in the articulation means 5 and, in this case, also in the load-bearing frame 2, useful for stopping the horizontal roto-translation movement which causes the transition of the service platform 3 from the resting position to the use position; the end-of-stroke means are better seen in figures 12 , 14 , and 16 where they are actually identified by a reference numeral.
  • end-of-stroke means 25 preferably comprise:
  • the end-of-stroke means 25 also comprise:
  • the auxiliary unit 1 of the invention also includes opposing end-of-stroke means, indicated by reference numeral 32 as a whole, defined in the articulation means 5 and, in this case, also in the load-bearing frame 2, useful for stopping the horizontal roto-translation movement which causes the transition of the service platform 3 from the use position to the resting position; in essence, as can be seen in figures 7 and 12 , such opposing end-of-stroke means 32 consist of the linear end-of-stroke of the actuation means 6 which are described immediately below.
  • auxiliary support, stop and/or transit unit claimed herein exclusively, not disclosed below, can provide for end-of-stroke means to be defined only in the articulation means or only in the load-bearing frame, which does not affect the advantage brought by the present invention.
  • the end-of-stroke means 25 and the opposing end-of-stroke means 32 are precisely the constructional components which thus allow the auxiliary unit 1 of the invention to alternately define only the two positions initially described, the resting position, in which the service platform 3 is arranged according to a horizontal plane and retracted from the load-bearing frame 2, and the use position, in which the service platform 3 is arranged according to a horizontal plane, projecting and advanced outwards from the load-bearing frame 2 to increase the useful surface area available for people, objects and/or boat accessories, respectively.
  • the auxiliary support, stop and/or transit unit 1 of the invention does not allow the service platform 3 to be effectively and stably arranged in any intermediate position between the resting position and the use position, unlike the footboard described in WO2014/199314 A2 in which, not surprisingly, no end-of-stroke means of the type indicated by 25 and 32 in the accompanying figures and an integral part of the invention are provided for the purpose.
  • Such end-of-stroke means 25 and such opposing end-of-stroke means 32 have the important advantage of making the auxiliary unit 1 of the invention more stable, especially when the service platform 3 takes the use position, thus favoring, compared to equivalent auxiliary units of known type, the achievement of safer conditions both for people standing on the upper floor 4 thereof and for the structural integrity of its components.
  • the actuation means 6 comprise a pair of actuator members 33, 34, each of which is operatively connected to the articulation means 5 and fixed to the main movement means 7: in brief, in this case, one actuator member 33, 34 for each of the respective articulated quadrilateral structures 12, 13 on which they act (appropriately governed by a central processing and control unit, not shown) is provided to cause the transition of the service platform 3 from the resting position to the use position and vice versa.
  • the actuator members 33, 34 are chosen from the group consisting of hydraulic actuators, pneumatic actuators, electromechanical actuators, mechanical actuators, electric motors and/or combinations thereof, suitable for applications and uses in the marine environment.
  • auxiliary unit of the invention can include a different number of actuator members from that just described and visible in the accompanying figures, such a number being capable of varying from one according to construction and application requirements.
  • the main movement means 7 previously introduced and provided only by a preferred embodiment of the auxiliary support, stop and/or transit unit 1 of the invention preferably also comprise a pair of actuator members 35, 36 each operatively connected to the articulation means 5 and fixed to the load-bearing frame 2: more specifically, the actuator members 35, 36 of the main movement means 7 are also chosen from the group consisting of hydraulic actuators, pneumatic actuators, electromechanical actuators, mechanical actuators, electric motors and/or combinations thereof, suitable for applications and uses in the marine environment.
  • auxiliary support, stop and/or transit unit for boats now indicated by reference numeral 100 as a whole is shown in the operating sequence according to which the service platform 102 progressively transitions from the resting position to the use (or operating) position.
  • the auxiliary support, stop and/or transit unit 100 for boats of the invention differs from that described above and indicated by reference numeral 1 due to the different design of the articulation means, now indicated by reference numeral 104, which also couple the service platform 102 to the load-bearing frame 101; again, a roto-translating movement of the service platform 102 is still achieved, although in a slightly different manner than in the auxiliary unit 1 described above.
  • articulation means 104 include in this case a pair of semi-articulated quadrilateral structures 111, 112, each being operatively connected to the service platform 102 through first hinged means, indicated by reference numeral 113 as a whole, and to the main movement means, indicated by reference numeral 106 as a whole, through sliding guide means, indicated by reference numeral 114 as a whole, this being the primary differentiating element from the embodiment in figures 1-16 .
  • each of the semi-articulated quadrilateral structures 111, 112 includes a pair of vertical shoes 119, 120 (preferably made of polymer material such as PE, POM or equivalent materials in terms of performance) spaced apart from and parallel to each other, sliding horizontally along the longitudinal direction X and on the guide means 114 when the service platform 102 transitions from the resting position to the use position and vice versa.
  • a pair of vertical shoes 119, 120 preferably made of polymer material such as PE, POM or equivalent materials in terms of performance
  • each of the vertical shoes 119, 120 is provided with a proximal free end 119a, 120a where it has (or where there is defined) a convex surface 123 in contact with the guide means 114 to facilitate an effective horizontal sliding of the service platform 102 along the longitudinal direction X.
  • first hinge means 113 comprise a pair of upper transverse studs 121, 122 placed side by side and spaced apart from each other, each of which identifies one of the horizontal rotation axes Z mentioned many times above and supports a distal end 119b, 120b of one of the vertical shoes 119, 120 of said respective semi-articulated quadrilateral structures 111, 112.
  • the distinctive guide means 114 preferably comprise:
  • the articulation means can comprise a number of semi-articulated quadrilateral structures different from that just described with reference to the accompanying figures, such a number being capable of varying from one according to design choices.
  • auxiliary unit 100 Another technical feature that differentiates the auxiliary unit 100 being described herein from the auxiliary unit 1 of the invention described earlier in a substantial manner concerns the end-of-stroke means, now indicated by reference numeral 129 as a whole and still configured to stop the horizontal roto-translational movement that causes the transition of the service platform 102 from the resting position to the use position.
  • the end-of-stroke means 129 comprise a central projecting hook 130, also having a centering function, integral with the main movement means 106 and identifying a front undercut 131 in which, when the service platform 102 takes the use position, a lower edge 110a defined in a rear peripheral portion 110 of the service platform 102 is engaged.
  • end-of-stroke means 129 installed in the auxiliary unit 100 of the invention also comprise a concave upper inner wall 128a of the elongated central through slot 128; one of the transverse pins 126, 127 abuts against such a concave upper inner wall 128a when the service platform 102 takes its use position.
  • the auxiliary unit 100 also comprises opposing end-of-stroke means, indicated by reference numeral 132 as a whole, defined in the articulation means 104 and, in this case, also in the load-bearing frame 101, useful for stopping the horizontal roto-translation movement which causes the transition of the service platform 102 from the use position to the resting position.
  • such opposing end-of-stroke means 132 consist of the linear end-of-stroke of the actuation means 105 appropriately combined with the abutting action of one of the two transverse pins 126, 127 against the concave lower inner wall 128b of the elongated central through slot 128.
  • the first described auxiliary unit solution of the invention (indicated by reference numeral 1, figures 1-16 ), generally referred to as a "pantograph”, is particularly suitable when the loads to be borne are not so excessive and heavy and the required extension of the walkable platform is high; indeed, this embodiment allows increasing the initial surface area of the main front platform 82 to more than double, by virtue of the presence of the service platform 3 moved by the articulation means 5.
  • the second described auxiliary unit solution of the invention (indicated by reference numeral 100, figures 17-26a ), generally referred to as “sliding,” represents a more performing system because, in the position of use of the service platform 102, it increases the supportable load compared to the resting position (with closed step).
  • the opening length of the service platform 102 reaches the same opening as the so-called pantograph version of the auxiliary unit 1.
  • auxiliary (or ancillary) support, stop and/or transit unit for boats of the present invention achieves the purposes and reaches the advantages previously mentioned.
  • auxiliary (or ancillary) support, stop and/or transit unit for boats of the instant invention consisting, for example, of articulation means of a different construction design from that obtainable and visible in the accompanying drawings.
  • auxiliary support, stop and/or transit unit comprises more than one service platform.
