Abstract
A craft transportable by road by being hitched at the rear of a vehicle, including two wheels capable of being extended from their housing into running position through an opening in the housing, each wheel being coupled by a shaft to one first end of a lever arm, the assembly being articulated on a shaft integral with the hull, and the second end of the lever arm being coupled by a shaft to a shock absorber fixed to a first support for maintaining the wheels in extended position. When the wheels are retracted IN the housing, a trap door integral with the lever arm is urged to come to a stop on a boss to close the housing opening after the shock absorber has been released and fixed upon a second support integral with the lever arm and after the lever arm has been fixed to a third support integral with the hull, so as to close the opening completely, thereby preventing water from penetrating into the housing where the wheel is located.
Description
- The present invention relates to a craft which can be transported behind a vehicle by means of wheels which can be retracted when the craft is in the water.
- Transportable crafts are increasingly widespread. Their users place them on trailers in order to transport them from their storage area to the water and back again. Said trailers feature relatively complex devices for handling the boat on the slip which is an inclined plane in the majority of ports.
- There is a very large number of trailer types with a variety of more or less complicated handling devices. Almost all of these devices feature a winch and rollers to slide the boat into the water or to raise it onto the trailer. Some trailers feature an articulated chassis. Others are provided with a second trailer on top of the first, this second trailer being designed to enter the water, at which point the boat is completely released.
- These various devices present numerous inconveniences, among which the complexity of handling, the mechanical complexity and all of failure risks it implies, the relatively long handling time which blocks the slip at the expense of other users, the high cost of a trailer in addition to the cost of the boat, and the size of a trailer which is difficult and costly to park near the port, in addition to the vehicle that pulls it.
- In order to solve these inconveniences, boats have been designed with retractable wheels in the hull, as in the case of the craft described in FR-A-2.568.215. Each wheel is actuated by a specific lifting means which consists mainly of a lever arm, the end of which is directly secured to the axle of the wheel and the other end of which can be actuated directly and held in place by a locking means in either the retracted position or the running position.
- In the craft described in FR-A-2.568.215, the housing in which the wheel is located is closed by a trap door to prevent water from entering the housing which would be considered a handicap when underway. The trap door is held in closed position by an elastic strap and is pushed back into open position when the wheel is out of its housing. Unfortunately, it turns out that this trap door presents a number of major disadvantages. When under way, the speed of the boat creates a suction force on the trap door which compensates the force of the elastic strap and causes the trap door to open, thus allowing water to penetrate into the housing. To solve this problem, it would obviously be possible to increase the tension of the return means, in this case the elastic strap. In this case, however, the significant tension force required to preclude the trap door from opening when under way, prevents it from being pushed open by the wheel when the craft is put in running position.
- Another drawback of the trap door used in FR-A-2.568.215 is that the elastic strap is permanently stretched to its maximum when the craft is parked with the wheels extended, which eventually causes it to loose its efficiency.
- Finally, when the craft is in running position, the trap door is in low position and thus very close to the ground, running the risk of impacts caused by bumps and other protruding elements on the running surface.
- This is why the object of the invention is to provide a craft transportable by road, whose wheel housing trap door is integral with the wheel retraction mechanism and no longer subjected to an elastic return means.
- The invention relates therefore to a craft transportable by road by being hitched at the rear of a vehicle, comprising two wheels capable of being extended from their housing into running position through an opening in the housing, each wheel being coupled by a shaft to one first end of a lever arm, the assembly being articulated on a shaft integral with the hull, and the second end of the lever arm being coupled by a shaft to a shock absorber fixed to a first support for maintaining the wheels in extended position. When the wheels are retracted in their housing, a trap door integral with the lever arm is urged to come to stop on a boss to close the housing opening after the shock absorber has been released and fixed on a second support integral with the lever arm and after the lever has been fixed to a third support integral with the hull, so as to close the opening completely, thereby preventing water from penetrating into the housing where the wheel is located.
- The objects and characteristics of the invention will become more apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a transportable craft forming the object of the invention,
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the craft at wheel level, when the craft is in running position,
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the craft at wheel level, when the craft is in the “wheels retracted” position,
- FIG. 4 is a longitudinal view showing the inside of the wheel housing and its mechanism, when the craft is in running position,
- FIG. 5 is a longitudinal view showing the inside of the wheel housing and its mechanism when the craft is in the “wheels retracted” position,
- FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the shock absorber operating in tension mode.
- As shown in FIG. 1, the
craft 10, in running position, includes ahull 12 carried by means of twowheels draw bar 20 allows the craft to be hitched behind a motorized vehicle. As illustrated in the circle, thedraw bar 20 is removable and can be screwed and unscrewed in ametal part 22 having a blind tapped hole to prevent water from entering the craft.Reinforcement 24 is placed inside the hull at this location. In running position, asafety pin 26 is placed on themetal part 22 when thedraw bar 20 is screwed into the metal part. - As shown in FIG. 2, the
wheel housing 18 when the craft is in running position and ready to be transported by rolling on its wheels. On the other hand, when the craft is under way, thewheels housing 18 by an advanced mechanism, described below. - FIG. 4 shows the mechanism which allows the wheels to be held in position on the ground. The wheel14 (or 16) is coupled by a
shaft 30 to a first end of alever arm 32, articulated on ashaft 34 integral with thehull 12. The second end of thelever arm 32 is coupled by ashaft 36 to a shock absorber 38 working in tension and which is itself secured by means of abutterfly nut 40 on asupport 42 integral with the hull. This butterfly nut thereby enables the wheel to be held in running position when on the ground. - The
secondary arm 44 of thelever arm 32, integral with the latter, has its end coupled to a connectingrod 46 by ashaft 48. When in running position, as shown in FIG. 4, the connecting rod and thesecondary arm 44 are side by side - Finally, a
trap door 50 which makes up an essential characteristic of the invention, is integral with thelever arm 32 by means of screws or any other fastening means. As shown on the figure, thetrap door 50 is located on the inside of the housing 18 (or 18′) when the craft is in running position, preventing it from colliding with protrusions on the ground as was the case in the closest prior art implementation. - To switch to the “wheels retracted” position shown in FIG. 5, the
butterfly nut 40 is unscrewed from thesupport 42 and theshock absorber 38 is pivoted and secured to thesupport 52 which is integral with thelever arm 32 by means of abutterfly nut 54. Thelever arm 32 is then pivoted around theshaft 34 until thetrap door 50 stops on theboss 56. In this position, thetrap door 50 completely closes the housing opening, leaving a minimum amount of play around the trap door which does not allow the water to penetrate into the housing. There is, however, anopening 58 at the rear of the each housing 18 (or 18′) to drain the water when the craft begins to gain speed to avoid the presence of any water in the housing, even a small amount, that could increase the weight of the craft. It should also be noted that the inside wall of the housing is in the shaped of an arc in order to have a minimum amount of water in the housing when the craft is under way. - When the
wheel 14 is in place in itshousing 18 and when the trap door is against theboss 56, the connectingrod 46 is pivoted around theshaft 48 so that anend lug 60 can be secured by abutterfly nut 62 on abracket 64 integral with the hull. It is conceivable that theend lug 60 can be secured to alug 66 integral with thesecondary arm 44 when the wheel is extended and the assembly in running position on the ground. - According to an important characteristic of the invention, the shock absorber38 shown in a cross-sectional view in FIG. 6, works in tension owing to the presence of a
coil spring 69 placed between theparts part 70 is subjected to a tension in relation topart 68. This tension operation, when the craft is in running position on the ground, is very important inasmuch as it allows the shock absorber to stretch approximately 5 cm, that is ten times more than a standard shock mount.
