Description

The technical field to which the invention belongs

The invention belongs to the field of technology, everyday necessities, under the field of entertainment. It is intended for all ages, and especially for family underwater sightseeing in shallow waters, which enables the transparency of all submerged surfaces of the boat. For propulsion, the following are used: an outboard electric motor, a moving sail and oars. According to international classification, it belongs to group A 63 B 35/00.

Technical problem

The problem solved by the invention is the complete transparency of all the walls of the boat with a load capacity of 1200 kg, and a length of less than 3 meters with completely cold benches for sitting (due to the transparency, the material used does not absorb infrared rays) with an ecologically clean drive (electric motor, sail, oars) ) with a shade and, if necessary, protection from the rain, which turns into a laid sail with a portable refrigerator for cold drinks and a reflector for nighttime underwater observation.

State of the art

As far as we know, there has been no vessel with the above-mentioned characteristics until now. There are boats of various sizes with a transparent bottom, with an outboard motor, with a combination of sail and motor, with a shade (canopy), rowing and combined, various dinghies, plastic or wooden boats more or less constructed according to the same principle, easier or more difficult to transport. But the combination of all features in one vessel is not known to us, that is, performed in the way that our invention offers.

Description of the solution to the technical problem

The problem is solved by making a panoramic transparent boat for sightseeing under the sea from a hard 8 mm thick transparent, impact-resistant plastic plate, using a thermoforming system from one piece connected and fixed with the edge sitting surface wedged into the inner part of the hull of the boat from the same transparent 6 mm thick, on impact resistant plastic sheet by thermoforming system. We reinforce the hull of the boat formed in this way with two corner fittings on the entire lower surface (ribs), which are used for pulling out and lowering the boat into the water. We mount a structure made of thin-walled stainless steel pipes to the fixed handles for transferring the boat, which serves as a support for the shade and the movable sail. For propulsion, we use an outboard electric motor of 1 kW, powered by 12 V direct current, stored in a battery located under the seat, which also powers a portable refrigerator or a reflector for night driving. In the bottom of the boat, two depressions are profiled (catamaran principle) to maintain the direction of movement of the vessel, in the interior of which the anchor, rope, oars and collected water that may splash the inside of the boat are placed as needed. The spaces are covered with a perforated plastic grid that also serves as a sidewalk. The sides and the very bottom of the boat are completely transparent and allow excellent visibility of the underwater landscape. Due to the low draft, it can be used even in a shallow water column of only 50 cm. For a longer time of use and sightseeing, the engine can be turned off (the planned ride on the electric motor will last 2-3 hours) and the movable sail can be used from a sitting position on the back bench using thin ropes connected to the control panel for controlling the sail. In case of lack of a sail, two plastic oars can be used, which we fasten to the oar forks placed for this purpose on the edge of the boat, and also controlled from the back seat in the boat. With the economical use of stored electricity and the successful use of minimal breeze and the help of oars, one family can use the boat all day. Due to the choice of light material, the boat can be transported by four adults without any problems. If desired, the complete upper structure together with the sail can be easily removed and folded like a folding chair. For vacations on the beach, it can be used as protection from the strong sun, because it can be easily removed and mounted as an independent shade.

One embodiment of the invention will now be presented with reference to the attached drawing in which it is visible:

• that the stainless steel corner protection (1) is fixed from the bottom to the hull of the boat (2) using brackets for fixing various ropes (29). We fasten the processed edge seating reinforcement on the inside of the boat (10) to the hull with the help of metal fittings (29, 11 and 14). The metal fitting (11) has a handle for carrying the boat and a protrusion for mounting the metal structure (12) on which the shade (15), mast and sails (20) are mounted, a movable joint (16) on which the mast (20) with the sliding part of the sail is mounted. (21) and the sail (28) fixed on the transverse metal supports of the sail (23). At their ends, a thin rope for turning the sail (24) is connected via a pulley to the control panel (27) for steering the sail (28). Through the control panel (27) fixed with a sliding fitting (30) to the supporting structure (13), we raise or lower the sail system over the pulley (22) with the help of a two-way rope (17) and determine the intention of the sail, whether it will serve as a sail in a vertical position or as protection from rain in a horizontal position.

• The joined hull of the boat (2) with the internal seating element (10) is trimmed with a specially profiled rubber trim (9). At the last part, we pass the reinforcement (6) on which the outboard electric motor (32) is mounted with the help of the elbow stiffener (34). Steering and adding gas is done with the help of the handle (33) and the control assembly (32).

• Oars (8), anchor (4) and rope (3) are stored in the recess at the bottom of the boat, all covered with a perforated grid (7). The battery (5) is placed under the rear seat. The night driving reflector is mounted on the outrigger (14) and the oar forks (25) are mounted on the sides. The extended parts of the edge of the boat are perforated with holes of various sizes for holding glasses and bottles. If desired, portable 12 V refrigerators or bags with ice packs can be placed under the seats.

Brief content of the essence of the invention

Panoramic submarine sightseeing boat made by thermoforming from a transparent and impact-resistant plastic sheet, the lower part of the hull (2) protected with an angular stainless steel profile (1) fixed with an internal seating element (10) equipped with an outboard electric motor (31) with a mounting structure (13) ), with a movable sail (28) and a shade (15) with a perforated edge of the boat, with the possibility of using a set of shades (15) and a sail (28) as a shelter from the sun on the beach, powered by 12 V electricity from the battery (5) and on the board with a 12 V drive, current from the battery (5) with the use of oars (8) and sails (28), and everything is mounted as shown in the drawing.

An indication of the best way for the economic use of the invention

For the successful commercial realization of the invention in question, it is recommended to use a transparent impact-resistant plate deb. 8 mm, shaped by thermoforming. That it does not exceed a length of 3 m, and that it has a load capacity of 1200 kg.

That all fittings are made of stainless steel 316 resistant to the influence of sea water. That it has a complete bottom and sides of the boat adapted for underwater sightseeing, that it can use a 12 V direct current electric motor for propulsion. That the user can easily and simply manage the sail without any prior knowledge of sailing and that he can also use sails if necessary.
