Description

Pleasure boat.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a pleasure boat, understanding as such a small boat planned for one or two occupants and intended to be propelled by the wind, that is, a sailboat.

The object of the invention is to achieve for said boat a folding structure that allows reducing drastically the volumetry of it in an inoperative situation, facilitating its storage and transport out of the water.

Background of the invention

There are small pleasure boats dimensions, planned for a small number of crew members, which they are usually moved by an outboard motor, with their Obvious polluting effects.

Small sailboats are also known, with the classic configuration for your helmet, monoblock, which by reduced their dimensions are almost impossible to remove water manually, nor transport it on the ground of analogous way to, for example, lock it in any cabin appropriate during periods of inactivity.

This implies, in practice, that for the maintenance of this type of sailboats, despite its reduced dimensions, it becomes necessary to occupy a port square next to the corresponding dock, and if not use expensive means, as cranes, to extract it from the water, as well as special vehicles for transport to the place of storage, with an obvious cost economic.

Among the known background there are foldable boats, or of reduced dimensions, or with possibility of incorporating accessories. Thus, the model can be cited of utility U 200701791, which refers to a "Vessel folding two floats, transportable by land wheels, with several attachable and interchangeable accessories ", with the possibility of incorporating, for example, a slide or seats Accessories, but very bulky, despite its folding.

Also, utility model 9800712 by "Foldable boat", whose characteristics allow its storage and transport, but which is primarily conceived as an auxiliary vessel incorporated on a ship.

A folding boat is also known, like the one described in utility model 266.512, which it was characterized by consisting of two halves joined by hinges to both sides, located at the edges, which allow to rotate a part on the other, with what the boat could be transported in a small trailer.

Finally, patent WO100330ES may be cited, which describes a detachable trimaran, convertible into a catamaran to sail and motor monohull. Trimaran is obtained from the assembly of two boats: a catamaran sailing, with side skates, timores and orzas, and a motor monocoque.

The vessel recommended in this invention comes to improve and complete what is already known, by presenting a original boat, with new features, getting a notable reduction in the volume of the boat, with the possibility of transporting it comfortably out of the water.

Description of the invention

The pleasure boat that the invention proposes to solve the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed, in the different aspects commented.

To do this, and more specifically, said boat has a two-seater hull or capsule, preferably multi-party to ensure buoyancy against any problem arisen in one of its cameras, helmet that by its zone anterior extends axially in a spear topped by its free limb in two transverse and opposing arms, which in turn they are finished in respective floating skates that collaborate with The aforementioned helmet.

In the same front end zone of the spear it fixed to it a telescopic mast, removable, and in the lower section or initial of said mast the corresponding boom for Candle orientation.

The lateral and anterior arms are foldable on the spear, and it is foldable on the hull, so that in inoperative situation of the vessel occupational dimensions of the same in longitudinal and transverse sense are those of the own hull or two-seater capsule, which only increases its height.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention and to facilitate the mobilization of the folded assembly, the helmet incorporates near its back, centrally located, a wheel (or a roller) integrated therein, which pivots by means of a central axis. The wheel, which as indicated, can also be a roller is hidden in the hull by means of a inner bulge On the front of the helmet, wear a removable bar topped on a handle, for manual traction on the folded boat.

Finally and according to another of the characteristics of the invention, the support corresponding to pilot is mobile along the longitudinal axis of the capsule two-seater, and in the areas corresponding to the footrests of said There are pedals for handling the rudder of the boat, logically with the feet.

It is achieved in this way, with dimensions acceptable for the vessel in use, specifically with a length that exceeds three meters, and a mast whose height it is of the order of preferably 2.60 meters, a set folded with a drastic reduction in the dimensions cited, which results easily transportable manually.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as an integral part of said description, a set of drawings where with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1: shows a schematic representation side elevation of a pleasure craft made according for the purpose of the present invention, in accordance with a position of use for it.

Figure 2: shows a plan view of the set represented in the previous figure.

Figure 3: shows a front elevation view of The same boat.

Figure 4: shows a representation similar to that of figure 1, in which two occupants appear properly positioned on the capsule.

Figure 5: finally shows another schematic representation in side elevation of the vessel in folding or transport situation.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the pleasure boat that the invention proposes it is constituted from a two-seater capsule or helmet (1) of minimum dimensions but sufficient to comfortably accommodate a couple of occupants, as shown in figure 4, who rest on a longitudinal seat (2) topped by its limb back on a fixed backrest (3), while at medium level it places a second mobile backrest (4), for the pilot, movable on guides (5) and consequently of adjustable positioning, complementing this set with a footrest (6) for the pilot and (6 ') for the co-pilot.

As can be seen especially in figure 1, the capsule or helmet (1) receives a tilting lance (7) in its anterior-superior area with respect to said helmet (1) through a pin or fixed tilting axis (8). ), lockable in the work situation shown in figure 1 with the collaboration of a second removable pin (9), so that said lance (7) is likely to be projected forward or to be folded over the hull or two-seater capsule
(one).

The spear (7) receives from its forelimb and through a crosshead (10) to a pair of articulated arms and folding (11), also with their corresponding pins tilt and locking pins, finishing each of these folding and lateral arms on a skate (12) that collaborates with the capsule or hull (1) in the buoyancy of the boat.

As seen in figure 2, the arms folding (11) receive the corresponding floating skates (12) through also respective guides (13) and pins of lock (14). On the other hand the folding arms (11) are mounted on the front end of the spear (7) through a pin or common tilting axis (16), while locking / unlocking thereof with respect to the lance (7) is carried out with the collaboration of independent pins (15).

As also seen in Figure 1, the front end of the lance (7) the mast (17) is also fixed candle holder, not shown, mast that is removable and It has a telescopic structure by means of several sections (17, 17 ', ...) which in turn allow the aforementioned folding, being at in turn associated with the mast (17) the boom (18) that receives the edge bottom of the candle.

The boat is subsequently provided with a rudder (19), which presents the peculiarity of being handled by means of cables or other appropriate transmission means, from a pair of pedals (20) located on the footrests (6) of the pilot.

After folding the boat shown in the Figure 5 and to facilitate the drag or manual transport of the same, in the back area of the hull or two-seater capsule (1), located centrally, there is a wheel or a roller (21) mounted on a support (22), pivoting with a central axis, wheel or roller which is integrated into the helmet and is likely to adopt two positions: the retracking position shown in figure 1, in which it does not affect the navigability of the vessel, and a inverse position, the one shown in figure 5, in which it constitutes rear and rolling support of the boat as a whole on the soil, the drag being carried out with the collaboration of an extendable bar (23), removable from the helmet itself (1) and finished off on a handle (24), as also seen in figure 5.
