DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 3 show an inflatable boat A to which an outboard motor mounting base B of the present invention is attached. The inflatable boat A includes a cylinder a having a substantially U shape in plan view, and a transom a5 for mounting an engine outboard motor D is provided at a rear portion of the cylinder a. Further, the bow a1 of the cylinder a and the left and right sides a2, a

The mounting base B is installed at the bow portion, and the mounting position of the mounting base B may be one side part a2, a
Can be changed to 3.

The above-mentioned inflatable boat A is mainly used for fishing, and is moved to a target fishing spot by an engine outboard motor C, and during fishing, the stop position and the direction of the boat are changed. When it is necessary to change the boat position, the outboard motor C is operated to move the boat slowly and quietly to the target position. Further, the above-mentioned inflatable boat A may have a bottom portion made of FRP, or may have a cylinder having a substantially O shape in plan view.

The mounting table B includes a vertical support plate b1 which latches and holds the clamp portion C1 of the electric motor outboard motor C;
One end is connected to an upper intermediate portion of one surface of the vertical support plate b1, and a horizontal support plate b2 is attached and supported at substantially right angles to the vertical support plate b1 (FIGS. 1A to 1C). 2-
a).

Further, the mounting table B is mounted on the horizontal support plate b2 on the upper surface of the cylinder a while the lower part of the vertical support plate b1 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder a. The lower part of the vertical support plate b1 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder a via the first locking means 1, and the tip of the horizontal support plate b2 is fixed to the upper surface of the cylinder a by the second locking. It is attached to the cylinder a by being fixed via the means 2. (FIG. 1-b, FIG. 2-
a).

The vertical support plate b1 is a vertically long rectangular plate made of a relatively thick wooden plywood or the like, and the width of the upper end gripped by the clamp portion C1 of the electric motor outboard motor C has the same width as the clamp portion. It is formed slightly wider than C1 and has a waterproof coating on the surface. The vertical support plate b1
May be made of a material other than wooden plywood as long as it can secure the required strength. For example, rubber, synthetic resin,
You may comprise from FRP, a metal plate, etc. In addition, non-slip sheets 32 made of rubber or synthetic resin are stuck on both front and rear surfaces of the upper portion of the vertical support plate b1, that is, in a range to be clamped by the clamp portion C1 of the electric motor outboard motor C (FIG. FIG. 1-b). The non-slip sheet 32 has an effect of protecting a portion strongly clamped by the clamp portion C1 of the electric motor outboard motor C and has a non-slip effect.

On the other hand, the horizontal support plate b2 is a substantially rectangular plate material made of a relatively thick wooden plywood or the like having the same width as that of the vertical support plate b1. The vertical support plate b1 is joined at a right angle to the upper portion of the intermediate portion on one surface, and is attached and supported by the hinge 4.

The hinge 4 is screwed between the upper surface of the base end of the horizontal support plate b2 and one surface of the vertical support plate b1. Thereby, the horizontal support plate b2 is assembled at right angles to one surface of the vertical support plate b1 (see FIG. 2).
a), the horizontal support plate b2 is folded downward and supported so as to rotate between a folded state (FIG. 2C) overlapping the lower half of the vertical support plate b1. The horizontal support plate b
The joint means for bending and supporting the hinge 2 is the hinge 4 described above.
The present invention is not limited to this, and any existing one may be used as long as it can support the horizontal support plate b2 so that it can be bent like the hinge 4.

Then, the insertion piece 1a constituting the first locking means 1 and the insertion piece 1a are inserted and locked on the lower side of one surface of the vertical support plate b1 and the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder a. The lower part of the vertical support plate b1 is fixed to the cylinder a by engaging these locking elements with the locking groove body 1b.
Is detachably attached and fixed to the outer peripheral surface of.

As described above, the first locking means 1 for fixing the lower part of the vertical support plate b1 to the outer periphery of the cylinder a is provided horizontally along the lower side of the one side of the vertical support plate b1. Groove body 1
b, and an insertion piece 1a that is horizontally adhered along the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder a so as to correspond to the locking groove 1b.

The locking groove 1b is a bar made of synthetic resin having a triangular cross section which is mounted and fixed horizontally along the lower side of one surface of the vertical support plate b1, and has a surface corresponding to the cylinder a as described above. A locking groove 11 having a substantially Ω-shaped cross section is formed along (FIG. 2A and FIG. 2C). The locking groove 11 may be formed in a recess along the lower side of one surface of the vertical support plate b1 (not shown).

On the other hand, on the outer peripheral surface of the bow of the cylinder a, the insertion piece 1 which is inserted into the locking groove 11 of the locking groove body 1b and locked.
a is provided. The insertion piece 1 a has a substantially strip-shaped base piece 13 functioning as an adhesive surface, a convex piece 14 integrally protruding along an intermediate portion of the surface of the base piece 13, and a tip edge of the convex piece 14. And a locking portion 12 which bulges into a substantially Ω-shaped cross section (FIGS. 1 and 2A). In addition, a patch 31 having a circular shape and a cut in the center is attached to both ends of the base piece 13 of the insertion piece 1a so that the end of the insertion piece 1a does not peel off from the surface of the cylinder a. Has been reinforced. still,
The above-mentioned patch may be provided on an insertion piece 2a attached to the upper surface side of the later-described cylinder a.

That is, the engaging portion 12 of the insertion piece 1a is formed so as to fit with the engaging groove 11 of the above-mentioned engaging groove body 1b through an appropriate adhesion force. Then, the locking portion 12 of the insertion piece 1a is inserted into the locking groove 11 from one end of the locking groove 1b, and is inserted while sliding over the entire length of the locking groove 11. Therefore, the above-described insertion piece 1a
The lower end portion of the vertical support plate b1 is pulled down by the strong coupling force generated by fitting the engaging portion 12 of the vertical support plate 1b and the engaging groove 11 of the engaging groove body 1b over the entire length thereof. It is detachably attached to and supported on the outer peripheral surface of a. In addition, the material of the insertion piece 1a and the locking groove 1b may be made of a material other than rubber or synthetic resin.

Also, the insertion pieces 1a and 2a project from the base piece 13 so that the projecting position of the projection piece 14 integrally formed from the base piece 13 is not the center of the base piece 13 but is shifted to one of the two side edges. I have. For example, the first locking means 1 is made to protrude in a state where the protruding position of the convex piece 14 is shifted to the lower edge side of the base piece 13 (FIG. 2A). The load from the electric motor outboard motor C acting on the base piece 13 via the insertion piece 1a acts downward. Therefore, the bonding area above the convex piece 14 to which a load is relatively applied is increased, whereby the adhesive force to the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder a is efficiently exhibited, and the response to the load is increased. The above-mentioned insertion piece may of course be protrudingly provided at the center of the base piece.

Therefore, the mounting base B is, as described above,
When the horizontal support plate b2 is placed on the upper surface of the cylinder a and the lower part of one surface of the vertical support plate b1 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder a, the first locking means 1 and the second It is configured to be mounted on the cylinder a through two supporting portions with the locking means 2.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the horizontal support plate b2
The second locking means 2 attached to and supported by the upper surface of the cylinder a on which the tip of the first locking means is mounted has exactly the same configuration as the first locking means 1 described above. That is, the second locking means 2 has the locking groove 2b formed exactly the same as the above-described locking groove 1b attached and fixed along the front edge of the lower surface of the horizontal support plate b2.
The locking groove 2b has a locking groove 21 formed in a concave shape over the entire length. An insertion piece 2a that engages with the locking groove 2b is attached and fixed to the upper surface of the cylinder a to which the locking groove 2b corresponds (FIG. 2A). This insertion piece 2a
This is also common with the insertion piece 1a of the first locking means 1 described above.

When the mounting base B having the above-described structure is actually mounted on the inflatable boat A, the inflatable boat A is first kept in a contracted state or an expanded state of about half. After the insertion pieces 1a, 2a of the first and second locking means 1, 2 are inserted into the corresponding locking grooves 11, 21 from one end, respectively, the cylinder a and the mounting base B are held. Then, the sliding pieces 1a, 2a are slid along the locking grooves 11, 21 so as to be inserted over substantially the entire length of the locking grooves 11, 21.

As described above, after the mounting base B is mounted on the cylinder a and then air is introduced into the cylinder a and expanded appropriately, as shown in FIG. b2 is placed on the upper surface of the cylinder a, and the lower surface of the vertical support plate b1 is brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder a.
As a result, the mounting base B is provided at two locations, the first and second mounting bases.
It is securely attached to the cylinder a via the locking means 1 and 2 (FIG. 2A). In addition, in the mounting state of the mounting base B, the expanded cylinder a is mounted on the horizontal support plate b2 of the mounting base B.
Of the vertical support plate b1 and one surface of the vertical support plate b1, the insertion pieces 1a and 2a, and the locking grooves 11 and 2 of the locking groove bodies 1b and 2b.
Since an appropriate frictional force is generated between the mounting base 1 and the base 1, the mounting base b does not shift in the width direction during traveling.

The electric motor outboard motor C is mounted on the mounting base B installed as described above. The electric motor outboard motor C is mounted by hooking and holding the clamp portion C1 on the upper portion of the vertically supported vertical support plate b1 as described above (FIG. 2A). The clamp portion C1 of the electric motor outboard motor C mounted as described above has a vertical support plate b1.
And the screw of the electric motor outboard motor C is located in the water below the above-mentioned fixing position.

When the mounting table B mounted as described above is removed from the cylinder a, the air in the cylinder a is evacuated and contracted, so that the pressure of the cylinder a against the mounting table B is eliminated. State. Then, by holding the vertical support plate b1 and the horizontal support plate b2 of the mounting base B and pulling out the insertion pieces 1a, 2a inserted into the locking grooves 1b, 2b in the opposite direction, the first and second double locking are achieved. By disengaging the engagements of the means 1 and 2 at a time, the mounting base B can be easily removed from the cylinder a.

The hinge B and the horizontal support plate b2 are provided at the distal end portion of the mounting table B more than the dimension between the hinge 4 and the locking groove 1b provided below the vertical support plate b1. The dimension between the locking groove 2b and the locking groove 2b is increased by a required dimension (2-c). As described above, from the hinge 4 to both support plates b
By shifting the distance between the locking grooves 1b and 1b to the locking grooves 1b and 2b, the horizontal locking plate b2 is folded and the locking grooves 1b and 2b are shifted from each other in a folded state. If the above dimensions are the same, the locking grooves 1b and 2b overlap and the thickness of the plates in the folded state increases. However, as described above, the horizontal support plate b2 is folded in a state where the locking groove bodies 1b and 2b are shifted from each other, so that the horizontal support plate b2 can be folded more compactly. In the mounting table B of the above embodiment, the horizontal support plate b joined to the vertical support plate b1 is used.
2 is configured to be foldable via a hinge 4. But,
In the gist of the present invention, it is not always necessary to make the horizontal support plate foldable as described above.
One side of the horizontal support plate may be attached and fixed to a middle part of one surface at a substantially right angle.

By the way, the insertion pieces of the first and second locking means of the present application are formed by forming locking parts which bulge in a substantially Ω-shaped cross section along the leading edge of the same pieces. But,
As described above, the cross-sectional shape of the locking portion that protrudes in the shape of a cross section along the leading edge of the insertion piece may be any shape as long as it is a protruding shape that can be fitted and engaged with the locking groove that is the mating partner. It may bulge into such a cross-sectional shape, and is not limited to a substantially circular cross-section like the locking portions 12 and 22 in the above-described embodiment. In addition, the locking groove of the locking groove body that fits and engages with the locking portion configured as described above does not need to form a concave groove that completely matches the shape of the insertion locking portion. It suffices that the shapes match each other to such an extent that the engagement with the locking portion is possible. This is in consideration of the clearance secured to smoothly slide the insertion piece along the inside of the locking groove, and the ease of manufacturing as a product.

For example, the shape of the cross section of the insertion piece and the shape of the locking groove are the same as those of the locking means shown in FIG. And the locking groove 2 of the locking groove body 201b which substantially matches the shape.
11, the two members 201a and 201
b may be configured to engage. FIG.
As shown in (c), the cross section of the locking portion 312 of the insertion piece 301a is formed in a substantially square shape, and this is formed inside the locking groove 311 of the locking groove body 301b recessed to substantially match the shape. , The two members 301a and 301b may be fitted and engaged.

The above-mentioned mounting base B is used when the first and second locking means 1 and 2 of the mounting base B are mounted.
The insertion pieces 1a and 1b are provided on the cylinder a side, and the locking grooves 1b and 2b are provided on the vertical support plate b1 and the horizontal support plate b2 of the mounting base b. However, the insertion piece and the vertical support plate of the present invention are not limited as in the above-described embodiment, and the insertion pieces 401a and 402b are attached and fixed to the vertical support plate b1 and the horizontal support b plate b2 of the mounting base. At the same time, the locking grooves 401b, 402b may be attached and fixed to the cylinder side. Note that the locking groove of the locking groove body may be directly formed in a recess along the lower side of one surface of the vertical support plate (not shown).

[0042]

As described above, the outboard motor mount of the inflatable boat according to the present invention is mounted by the vertical support plate for mounting the outboard motor and the horizontal support plate mounted substantially at right angles to the vertical support plate. A first locking means for forming a base and detachably fixing the vertical support plate to the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder, and a second locking means for locking the horizontal support plate to the upper surface of the cylinder; The mounting base is configured to be removably attached to the.
Further, the first locking means comprises an insertion piece provided along one of the upper surface of the cylinder and the horizontal support plate, and a locking groove provided along the other side. Forms a locking portion that bulges into a substantially Ω-shaped cross section, and the locking groove body forms a locking groove that fits in a state where the substantially entire length of the insertion piece having the above-described cross-sectional shape substantially matches the shape. Consisting of On the other hand, the second
The locking means has the same insertion piece and locking groove as the first locking means, and one of them is supported on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder or the lower part of the vertical support plate, and the other is horizontally supported. It is fixed to a plate or an outer peripheral surface of a cylinder.

Therefore, when the outboard motor mount is mounted on the cylinder of the inflatable boat, the respective insertion pieces of the first and second locking means are respectively engaged with the corresponding locking grooves. After being inserted into the locking grooves from one end of the body, the sliding piece is inserted through almost the entire length of the locking grooves while sliding along the locking grooves at the same time. The mounting base of the outboard motor can be mounted and supported via two support portions, and the mounting operation of the outboard motor mounting base can be performed simply and reliably as compared with the above-described conventional one. Further, since the insertion pieces and the locking grooves of the first and second locking means are engaged with each other over a long range over the entire length of the locking groove body (substantially the same size as the width of the mounting base), it is strong. And a reliable engagement force can be exhibited. On the other hand, when removing the outboard motor mounting base mounted on the cylinder as described above, the mounting base is pulled out in the direction in which the locking groove is extended, so that the insertion engaged at the two support portions is performed. The engagement relationship between the piece and the locking groove is released at a time, whereby the mounting base mounted on the cylinder can be easily and quickly removed.

In the outboard motor mounting base for an inflatable boat according to the second aspect, a foldable joining means is provided at a connecting portion between the horizontal support plate and the vertical support plate so that the horizontal support plate can be folded. And the distance between the joining means and the locking element of the first locking means provided below the vertical support plate, and the locking element of the second locking means provided at the tip of the horizontal plate. Since the distance between the horizontal support plate and the vertical support plate is shifted from each other, the vertical support plate and the horizontal support plate can be overlapped and folded into a single plate by folding the horizontal support plate.
In the state where the horizontal support plate is folded as described above, the locking element of the first locking means and the locking element of the second locking means provided below the vertical support plate interfere with each other and overlap. Can be avoided, so that the thickness of both support plates in the state where the horizontal support plate is folded is prevented from becoming unnecessarily thick, and the mounting base of the outboard motor is compactly folded, so that it can be transported and stored. Will be the advantage.
