Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a fender structure that is attachable to a boat hull and excellent in impact absorptive performance. CONSTITUTION:A fender 7 consisting of an air tube is set up in place along the outermost side of a peripheral edge of a boat hull 1, while each holding means 6 holding this fender 7 is set up in a specified interval in the longitudinal direction of the fender 7, and air is charged to the fender 7, through which the fender 7 is constituted so as to be pressed to the outermost side of the peripheral edge of the hull for fixation.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fender structure mounted along the outermost surface of the peripheral portion of a small boat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a fender for small vessels, an edge member made of a relatively soft plastic material such as polyethylene is fixed along the outermost surface of the peripheral edge of the hull by rivets or the like. It was

[0003]

In the structure of the edge member made of the plastic material described above, since the fender itself has a small cushioning property, when the hull contacts the quay, the hull receives a large impact. There is.

The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and is a fender for a small vessel which has a structure which is attached to almost the entire circumference of the hull and which is excellent in shock absorbing performance. It is intended to provide a structure.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a fender made of an air tube is arranged along the outermost surface of the peripheral portion of the hull, and the holding means for holding the fender is a fender. Arranged at predetermined intervals in the length direction, and by filling the fender with air, the fender is crimped and fixed to the outermost surface of the peripheral portion of the hull and the inner peripheral surface of the holding means. It has been done.

[0006] The holding means preferably comprises a mounting band. The fender is preferably formed continuously from the rear end of one side of the hull to the rear end of the other side through the bow end. Further, the fender may be configured to be removable from the holding member by extracting air from the fender.

[0007]

In the above structure, since the fender is arranged almost all around the periphery of the hull and is composed of the air tube, it is excellent in shock absorbing action when the hull is berthed and is not used. Occasionally, the air in the fender is evacuated so that it does not project laterally from the side of the ship, so that the actual width of the hull becomes narrower.

[0008]

1 and 2, a hull member 11 forming a bottom plate and a deck member 12 forming a deck are integrally formed by FRP or the like, and they are joined to each other at a peripheral portion thereof. Is configured. On this deck, a seat 3 is formed on the center line of the hull 1 rearward from the central portion, both sides of which are recessed to form a foot deck 4, and the outside thereof is further raised to form a gunnel 5. An operation handle 2 is provided on the front side of the seat 3 so that a person sitting on the seat 3 puts his foot on the foot deck 4 and grasps the operation handle 2 to drive.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the peripheral portion of the hull 1 and the upper end portion of the side plate of the hull member 11 and the deck member 1 are formed.
The side end of the gunnel 5 made of 2 is overlapped to form a joint 13 protruding laterally, and the tip of the joint 13 extends downward, and this portion constitutes the outermost surface of the hull 1. is doing. A fender 7 made of an air tube is arranged along the outer surface of the joint portion 13, and a mounting band (holding means) 6 for holding the fender 7 is arranged at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the fender 7. It is located in. This mounting band 6
Both ends of the fender 7 are attached to the joint portion 13 with screws 60, washers 61 and nuts 62, and the fender 7 penetrating the attachment band 6 is filled with air, so that the fender 7 is surrounded by the hull peripheral portion. It is configured to be crimped and fixed to the outermost surface of the.

The fender 7 extends continuously from the rear end of one side portion of the hull 1 toward the front end thereof, and extends continuously through the bow end to the rear end of the other side portion. There is. As shown in FIG. 4, one end of the fender 7 is attached and sealed with a plug 71, and the other end is attached and sealed with a plug 72, and an air valve 73 is attached to the plug 72. The fender 7 is connected to the air supply port 74 so that the fender 7 can be filled with air.

In the above structure, when the hull 1 is not in use, the air in the fender 7 is evacuated by the air valve 73 so that the fender 7 can be suspended by the mounting band 6 on the side of the fender. In this state, the fender 7 does not project laterally from the side portion of the hull 1, so that the substantial width of the hull is reduced, which is convenient for transportation and storage. Further, the fender 7 can be removed from the mounting band 6 and stored separately after the air is removed from the fender 7. Then, at the time of use, the fender 7 is held by the mounting band 6 and is filled with air from the air supply port 74 at a predetermined pressure, so that the fender 7 is connected to the joint portion 13 as shown in FIG. Crim it to the side and fix it. In this state, since the fender 7 is continuously positioned on the outermost surface of the hull 1, the fender 7 surely performs its function when the hull 1 is berthed, and the fender is also provided. Since 7 is composed of an air tube, it sufficiently absorbs the impact at the time of berthing and exerts an excellent effect of protecting the hull.

In the above embodiment, the fender 7 is composed of an air tube having a hollow portion continuous over the entire peripheral surface of the hull, but the hollow portion is divided into a plurality of divided portions. You may make it fill with air for every.
Further, the holding means of the fender is not limited to the band as described above, as long as it can hold the fender in a state of being filled with air in a state of being crimped to the outermost surface on the ship side,
Various types can be adopted.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the fender is arranged over substantially the entire periphery of the hull, and the fender is composed of the air tube. It has an excellent shock absorbing effect when berthing, and when it is not in use, the air inside the fender is evacuated so that it does not project laterally from the side of the ship. It is convenient and also has the advantage that the fender can be easily removed from the holding means by bleeding air.
