INVENTOR WITNESSES I A TTORNEYS' UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGEFREDERICK BRUNQ-FTES, or imooKLY YoRKQ" I To all whom it may concern:
a citizen of the United States, anda residcntof the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Boat, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to a boat and aims more particularly to provide a plan and knock-down construction from which a child may be enabled to build a boat which shall be'capable of sailing and shall reproduce as nearly as possible the maneuvers of afull size sailing boat.
Although this invention is illustrated in the form of a knock-down and assembled toy ship it is not necessarily limited to either of these particular forms, and might readily be placed upon the market as a plan, in the form of a knock-down toy boat, an assembled toy boat, or the principles of construction might prove adaptable to a full size vessel.
Reference is had to the attached sheets of drawing which illustrate one practical embodiment of my invention, and in which- Figure 1 is a plan view of aboat constructed in accordance with my invention;
Fig. 2 is a side view thereof;
Fig. 3 illustrates the keelson;
Fig. 4: the bottom plank of the hull;
Fig. 5 one of the side pieces associated with the bottom plank;
Figs. 6 and 7 a portion of the decking;
Fig. 8 one of the bow or stern pieces;
Fig. 8 is a sectional view taken along the line 8 8 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 9 a further portion of the hull;
Figs. 10, 11 and 12 ribs associated with the keelson;
Figs. 13 and 14 represent pieces forming a combing for the cock-pit; and
Fig. 15 a brace associated with the keelson.
In all of these views like reference numer als designate similar parts and it will be seen, referring primarily to Fig. 4, that the bottom plank 1 forms the basic part of the hull, on each side of which there is positioned side planks such as 2. Further side pieces 3 are arranged on each side of the side pieces 2 forming the base of the hull.
The bottom plank 1 is formed with a centerboard opening such as 4, which is adapted to aline with the well or centerboard open- Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed'December 6, 1919; Serial No. 342,924. I
be associated with the bottom plank 1.
N ow, with a view of providing rigidity for the hull and to alsopermit of the placing decking upon the same, stern and bow pieces 7 are positioned at each end of the plank 1 and side pieces 2 and 3, the same being held in position by any suitable means pieces as well as the keeling planks such as 9, the inner ends of which are'spaced apart so as to form a cock-pit 10, the appearance and seaworthiness of which 1s further enhanced by suitable combing comprising forward strips 11 and side strips 12. v
- Prior to the positioning of the unitscom-- prising the decking and before the keelson 6 is associated with the bottom plank 1, ribs such as 13, 14 and 15 are associated with notches 16, 17 and 18 respectively formed in the keelson 6. Further braces are associated with the keelson and to each side of the well section 5, these braces being designated by the reference numeral 19, as illustrated in Fig. 15 and shown applied in Fig. 1.
With a View of now providing a finished boat it will readily be appreciated that a mast may be projected through one of the main decking planks 9 and engage the keelson 6 so as to provide rigidity of structure, the mast 20 being conveniently braced by thread or ropes 21. With the mast there is also associated conveniently, by means of jaws 25, a gaff 22, a sail 23 depending therefrom, and a boom 24 at the lower end of the sail 23,"also a rudder 26 together with its associated post and handle may be provided, as well as a small keel 27, which is supplemented while sailing by any suitable means representing a centerboard, such as a small sheet of tin which a child may conveniently construct, to be associated with the ship so as to provide a completed sailing boat.
I ing '5'of the keelson 6, which adapted to Be it known that I, GnoRcnF. BRUNJES," 1
It will be seen from the foregoing that I,
have constructed a boat, the plan, knocked down and assembled parts of which may be readily utilized by a child to make the parts have provided a boat which shall be capable of reproducing allof the maneuvers of an actual sailing craft, the construction embodied being also adaptable to a full size sailing boat. It will further be perceived that by the structure resorted to that I have provided a miniature sailing boat of great strength having all of the essential parts of an actual sailing craft, which shall, however, be of such simplicity of construction that a youth may readily make and assemble tl e same, which operations will prove of great educational value. The boat herein shown and described will also have the benefit of great rigidity of construction by virtue of the interlocking notches forming a part of the ribs 13, 14:, and 15 and notches 16, 17 and 18 respectively of the keelson 6 so that a minimum of securing members, such as nails are required, which will have the benefit of less danger of splitting the wood, the exlstence of whlch would present a very discouraging situation to a child constructing a boat in accordance with this invention.
It is obvious that numerous modifications might be resorted to without departing the least from my invention, and which claim is:
1. A boat including a hull provided with a stern and bow piece arranged at each end of the same, and a decking over a portion of the upper face of said hull, said decking including side strips arranged between the stern and bow piece engagement with the same and adjacent the side edges of the hull, and main decking planks between such side strips and adjacent their ends, said decking planks having their inner ends spaced one from the other whereby to form a cockpit.
2. A boat including a hull comprising a bottom plank, side strips arranged on each side of such bottom plank, a keelson formed with notches in its lower edge, and ribs and braces also formed with notches adapted to engage such keelson, the notches being adapted to interlock, such ribs and braces further engaging the inner faces of the hull whereby to provide a rigidity of structure.
