Abstract

Essentially a mobile frame the carrier provides for the easy movement of marine outboard engines or other equipment (hereinafter refered to as equipment). In addition it securely protects such equipment whilst in storage and in transit and provides a secure means of placing equipment for maintenance/testing purposes in any suitable location. The carrier's design enables equipment to be placed into any desired position to effect convenient access etc. The use of castors and wheels on six points of the frame enables the carrier to manoeuvre equipment either upright or on its side (an advantage when rolling equipment into a vehicle with limited headroom). The carrier can be constructed in any form embodying the design features described. It can be produced as a complete unit or produced in kit form for convenient storeage when not in use.

Description

SPECIFICATION Mobile Transom and Outboard Workbench 1. General Statement Marine outboard engines or other equipment designed to be secured to a boat's transom are essentially top heavy and are of significant weight to make them difficult and awkward to move from place to place by hand when taken off the boat's transom. Storing an outboard motor or other equipment designed to be secured to a boat's transom during periods of non-use is also a problem often necessitating the leaning of an engine or equipment against a suitable support which results in weight bearing on parts of the engine or equipment not designed to bear such weight. Positioning a marine outboard engine or other equipment, designed to be secured to a boat's transom, into a suitable place to effect access for maintenance or test is also a problem when removed from the boat.The purpose of the carrier is to overcome these problems and additionally incorporate other useful features.
2. Essentials It is to be noted that although the use of stands for outboard marine engines are available, the functions of this design go further by providing additional functions and mobility. The principle also permits, by virtue of its base and wheels and/or castors the ability to utilise the carrier turned backwards through 900. This facilitates its movement into vehicles or other such restrictive places as the user might deem to place it. By virtue of the carrier's design outboard engines secured to it can be turned through up to 900 to facilitate access and ease of maintenance. Also when an outboard engine is secured to the carrier it can be tested under power by the provision of a water tank located in the base of the carrier.With this tank filled with water and the engine propeller removed the fuel lines and ignition wiring (if applicable) can be connected and the engine started for testing at any desired location.
3. Embodiments (see also attached drawings) The purpose of the carrier to provide a satisfactory means of conveying/protecting and providing suitable maintenance access for a marine outboard engine and/or other equipment designed to be secured to a transom.
The main embodiments of the carrier are: a) To provide for the easy movement of marine outboard engines or other equipment designed to work or normally be located on a transom or similar.
b) To provide a stable and protective frame on which to store a marine outboard engine or other such equipment when not in use.
c) To give the ability to test a marine outboard engine under power in any desired location, in conjunction with engine test tank. (see drawing for details).
d) To enable a marine outboard engine or other such equipment to be tilted to a horizontal plane for maintenance and other purposes.
e) To enable a marine outboard engine or other such equipment to be rolled into and out of suitable vehicles (e.g. vans, estate cars etc) with a minimum of lifting and avoidance of damage to the item being carried.
f) The carrier provides a convenient means of displaying marine outboard engines for retail/wholesa le/demonstration purposes.
Design/Materials/Variations This request for the grant of a patent is intended to cover the embodiments in 3 above.
These can be incorporated in any design and produced in any suitable materials of adequate strength capable of withstanding the loads and stresses placed upon them. Suitable designs need not resemble those illustrated with this request.
The carrier can be produced either as a fully assembled unit or in kit form, for example easy storage when not in use or for conveyance by parcel post if required.
Dimensions/Loading Capability Suitable design can be produced in any suitable size and possess adequate loading capacity to suit any demand. They may also be produced in such a way as to provide adjustment to size giving the carrier the additional flexibility to carry marine outboard engines or other such equipment of varying sizes/weights e.g.
large/small break horse power engines. Long, medium, short reach engines.
