ll l tll lihl l ANGEL N'UffEZ, OF N EW YORK, N. Y.
BOAT.
Application filed March 31, 1922.
To all ir/lont it may concern:
lie it known that I, ANGEL Nui'nz, a subjcct of Spain, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Iniprov'ements in Boats, of which the following: is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in boats, the general object of the invention. being to provide a pair of non-sinkable members or floats, supporting a frame for the operator.
Another object of the invention is to provide manually operated means for propel line; the boat and steering the same.
This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.
In describing my invention in detail, reference will be hand to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresu'ionding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure l is a plan view of the invention.
Figure 2 is a side view.
The remaining' figures are detail views.
In these views 1 and 2 indicate a pair of hermetically closed floats which are pref-- crably of the shape shown and which are connected together by the cross pieces 3. A frame 4t provided with the legs 5 and these legs are secured to the plates so that the frame is supported centrally of the floats. This frame supports a body (3 which is of substantially tish-shape and has a seat 7 at its center for the operator ot the boat. A. lever S, pirotally secured at its lower end to a part oi the frame, passes through a slot 9 in the body and has its handle 10 arranged where it can be grasped by the operator who occupies seat 7. This lever is connected with the paddle wheels 11 by the rods 12, these parts being so arranged that the oscillation of the lever will. cause a rotary movement of the paddle $C1'ial No. 548,410.
wheels and thus the boat will be caused to move through the water. A rudder 13v is pivotally mounted at the rear of the boat by having its stem 14 passing through eyes 15 inv the cross rods 16 which are connected. with the rear ends of the floats. A cross piece 17 is connected with the upper end oi the stem let and cables 18 have their ends connected with said. cross piece and with the pedals 19 which are arranged in the body in a position where they can be actuated by the feet of the operator. The cables pass over guiding pulleys 20 and through holes 21 in the bottom of the body. By pressing one pedal the rudder will move the boat in one direction and by pressing the other pedal the boat will be moved in an opposite direction.
It will thus be seen that the boat can be propelled and steered by a person sitting in the seat 7 and due to the shape of the floats the boat can be propelled through the water with but little effort. If desired other seats may be placed on the frame t so that the boat.can be made to carry )assengers.
It is thought from the foregoing descrip tion that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.
I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes tall within the scope of the appended claim.
lVhat I claim is A boat of the class described comprising a pair of hermetically sealed floats having tapered ends, cross pieces connecting the floats together, an elevated frame supported centrally by the floats, a body located on the frame, a seat in the body, a lever pivotally supported at its lower end and pass :ing through a slot in the bottom ol the body, a pair of paddle wheels, rods connecting the lever with said wheels, a rudder, a pair of pedals in the body and cables connecting the pedals with the rudder.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
ANGEL NUlTEZ.
