GROGAN CONVERTIBLE BOAT F iled Oct. 15, 1930 '2 Sheets-Sheet 2 ATTORNEY Patented Feb. 1932 PATENT OFFQ LEO 8. GBOGAN, OF WAYNE, MICHIGAN CONVRTIBLE BOAT Application filed Dctober 15, 1930. Serial No. 488,973.
My present invention has reference to a boat that includes a bottom member section and oval top members or sections, which latter can be readily connected to the bottom section to afford a water-tight joint therebetween and whereby the boat may be'converted into an ordinary open gunwale row boat with a square stern so that an overboard motor may be employed therein and likewise whereby the boat may be converted into a true hunting boat.
To the attainment of the foregoing the invention consists in the improvement hereinafter described and definitely claimed.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of the improvement in the nature of a row boat.
Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof.
' Figure 3 is a sectional view approximately on the line 33 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a top plan view of a boat converted into a hunting boat deck.
Figure 5 is a side elevation thereof.
Figure 6 is a sectional view approximately on the line 6-6 of Figure 5.
As disclosed by the drawings the improvement includes a bottom section 1 which is in the nature of a canoe, having both of its ends pointed. As a matter-of-fact, the section 1 may be employed as a canoe if desired. 3
The section 1, upon its upper face has bolted, riveted or otherwise secured thereto, a metal angle plate 2 whose horizontal flange is inwardly directed. The horizontal flange is for distinction indicated by the numeral 3 and the same is provided with a desired number of comparatively closely related threaded openings. The plate 2 is arranged entirely around the boat and its horizontal flange is extended inwardly. The plate 2 materially reinforces the upper edge and affords a wear plate for the said upper edge of the boat.
Over the horizontal flange and over the upper edge ot-the section 1 there is arranged a compressible gasket 4 which may be of paper, cork or the like, and on this gasket there rests the lower edge of the upper section 5 that provides a row boat. The section 5 has its forward end pointed, but its gunwale, 50 at the top of its stern, is square, as at 6, so that an overboard motor may be attached to the same. The section 5 has its lower edge provided with a continuous angle flange 7 whose horizontal flange is indicated b the 55 numeral 8 and overlies the horizontal ange 3 of the angle member 2. Through suitable openings in the flange 8 that aline with the openings in the flange 3 there are screwed I headed bolts 9. The bolts are of brass or y other non-corrosive metal and by this simple construction it will be noted that the canoeshaped bottom of the improvement is converted into an open gunwale row boat.
The bottom 1 may have attached thereto a 635 hunting deck 10 that is disclosed by Figures 4, 5 and 6 of the drawings. The lower edge of the deck '10 has attached thereto a continuous metal bearing strip 11 and this strip has its inwardly projecting portion, 7 which overlies the horizontal flange 3 and the gasket 4, provided with openings that register with the openings in the said flange 3. The deck is provided with openings alining with those in the continuous metal strip 11 and the outer portions of these openings 12 are reamed or enlarged, as at 13, for the reception of the heads 14 of bolts 15 which are screwed through the threaded openings in the flange 3 of the section 1.
By a construction and arrangement of parts as above described it will be readily noted that with my improvement the canoe like bottom of the device may be readily con- 7 verted into a row boat or may be provided 86 with a hunting deck.
Having described the invention, I claim:
A boat construction including a lower section and an upper section, both of said sections having their confronting edges provid- 00 ed with continuous metal an le plates whose horizontal flanges are inwar y directed and are designed to receive therebetween a. compressible gasket, the flange on the lower sec- 5 tion being provided with spaced threaded openings and that on the upper section with lateral openings alining with those in the lower section, and non-corrosive bolts passing through the openings in the flange of the up- 10 er member and screwed through the openlngs in the flange of the lower member, and said metal angle plates reinforcing and affording wear plates for the edges of the sections on which they are fixed. 15 In testimony whereof I afiix m signature.
