BOAT
Filed Sept. 24, 1952 ,[zzvezzior M f/ Patented July 11, 1933 HORACE w. HALL, or ivnwron, MASSACHUSETTS BOAT Application filed September 24, 1932. Serial No. 634,727.
This invention relates to an improved con struction for boats or the like.
It is the present practice to construct boats by building them around a complete or 9 form, piece by piece, which or form is expensive and, of course, one boat has to be complete before the jig or form can be used for the neXt.
One objectof my invention is to so con struct a boat that the parts may be molded separately to a certain shape ready for assembly without the use of a or form customarily used, which parts will embody the curved lines necessary to give the finished boat an attractive appearance, This makes quantity production possible with a relatively small amount of capital outlay and lowers the cost of assembly substantially, also improving the appearance of the completed boat. Another object of my invention is to make my boat without any joints at the stern whatsoever. This construction avoids all leakage at the stern which heretofore has been practically unavoidable when outboard motors are used.
The foregoing and other objects which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, may be accomplished by a construction, combination and arrangement of parts such as is disclosed by the drawing. he nature of the invention is such as to render it susceptible to various changes and modifications, and, therefore, I am not to be limited to the construction disclosed by the drawing; but am entitled to all such changes therefrom as fall within the scope of my claims.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of my boat.
Figure 2 is a -crosssection taken on the line 22 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a partial plan view with the rail removed, showing the three sections forming the sides and the stern of my boat joined together.
As illustrated my boat is composed of a rear or stern section 8 which forms the whole of the stern or back and a portion of each side of the boat, being spliced as at 9 to the 90 two side sections 10,, each of which extend from the bow, where they are oined together, to the point where they are spliced to oneside of said stern sectioni8. Inorder to attain style and beauty in a boat itis customary to have concave lines near the bow which are easily possible with my side sections 10. vI cannot, however,,have these side sections 10 form any partfof the stern as buckling of thewood would result. The unevenness or displacementof the wood resultno ing from making a portion of the bow concave as well as having it flare outwardly makes it impractical to attempt to formthe curve in the stern'with the same section.
'In order to be able to bendsaid rear sec- 5 tion 8 to form the stern it is made of a plurality of laminations of wood thin enough to be bent to the desired shape without in ternal strain. I have shown the side sections. 10 and stern 8 composed of four outside ,70 laminae, 11 which may be thick, the outer one being mahogany for appearance, and the other three birch. Then there are three laminae 12 in the center made of some buoy- I ant and pliable material such as balsa wood which may be each thick and still be suitable, and three inner laminae 13 which may be of birch and be thick; Other kinds of wood may be used and the thicknesses may vary so long as they may be bent to the o desired shapes without internal strain.
These laminations forming the side and stern sections of'the boat are cemented together with a water-proof glue or other well known adhesive between them, and while the 5 glue is still wet, so as topermit the laminations to slip on each other, they are placed between male and female molds and bent or molded to the desired shape, being kept under pressure in the molds until the glue has set. The laminations formingthese side and stern sections are now an integral structure of a predetermined and permanent shape and a very st-rong'on'e, and are ready to be assembled.
I provide a bottom 15 preferably of metal and preferably in twosections, having an upwardly extending flange 15a, which are riveted together as at 16 with a water tight gasket 17 between them. Said bottom 15 is shown bolted as at 19 to the side sections 10, the bolt passing through the metal bottom and the laminations 11, 12 and 13 and also through a block or ledge 20 which ledge serves to support the floor 22 of the boat. Marine glue 21 makes the joint between the bottom and side sections water tight.
I have shown a seat 23 and a top or finishing rail 24, and, of course, any other accessories may be installed in my boat as in, any other boat, and an outboard motor may be used or an inboard motor may be used. Upon the joining together of the bottom 15, the two side sections and the stern section 8, all of which are formed separately to a pre-- determined shape, my boat is completely assembled in a very short space of time, no form or jig being necessary in this assembling operation.
WVhat I claim is: 1. Aboat comprising a bottom, two side sections, and a laminated wood section forming the whole stern and partof the sides of said ,boat connected to said side sections.
2. A boat compr sing a bottom and three laminated wood sections joined together, one of sald sections forming the whole stern and part of each side, the other two said sectionsextendingfrom the bow to said stern section.
3. A boat comprising a bottom and a plurality of laminated wood sections joined together, two of said sections extending from the bow to a point intermediate the bow and the stern, and another section extending from said two sections rearwardly so shaped as to form the whole stern.
4. A boat comprising a bottom and a plurality of laminated wood sections oined together, each lamination in each section extending the full length of said section, two of said sections extending from the bow and forming the sides part way to the stern, and another of said sections extending from one of said first-1nentioned sections around and forming the stern to the other of said firstmentioned sections.
5. A boat comprising a bottom and a plurality of laminated wood sections joined together, each lamination extending the full length of the section it forms a part of, two of said sections extending from the bow and forming the sides part way to the stern and having a concave portion adjacent the bow,
and another of said sections extending from 5 one of said first-mentioned sections around and forming the stern to the other of said first-mentioned sections.
.6. A boat comprising a bottom and plurality of laminated wood sections joined together, said bottom embodying two sections, two of said wood sections being shaped to form the bow of the boat and a portion of the sides, one of said wood sections being shaped to form the whole of the stern and a portion of each side, said bottom having an upwardly extending flange, and means to o1n said flange to said sectlons.
