Description
- This nonprovisional application claims priority on U.S. provisional application Ser. No.: 60/493,003, filed Aug. 7, 2003, and titled “Standing surface door for a stand-up personal watercraft”.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention generally relates to a personal watercraft of the type allowing stand-up type riding and, more particularly, to an access opening for such watercraft.
- 2. Background Art
- Personal watercraft are used for nautical touring and as a nautical sport vehicle. In one category of personal watercraft (hereinafter PWC) used as nautical sport vehicle, the rider is in a standing or a kneeling position on a support surface at the stern of the PWC. Such stand-up types of PWC involve more dynamic riding techniques.
- Conventional stand-up types of PWC have most of the engine system (engine, air intake, exhaust, etc.) generally at the bow of the PWC, in the cavity defined between the hull and the deck. National regulations in terms of noise level and air quality, however, require the addition of various components. However, since the cavity at the bow is relatively small, it would be desirable to move some of the components at the stern of the PWC.
- Accessing components at the stern of the PWC through though the current bow access opening would be very difficult. Also, PWC used in touring need to have storage space to carry, for instance, food, clothing, and other accessories that may be required in view of a touring use of the PWC. PWC used as nautical sport vehicles are not well equipped for storage, due to the nature of their use.
- It is therefore an aim of the present invention to provide a deck configuration allowing access to a cavity of a personal watercraft, at a stern end thereof.
- It is an aim of an aspect of the present invention to use the access to the cavity as a storage compartment.
- Therefore, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a personal watercraft comprising a hull; a deck supported by the hull and defining a cavity with the hull, the deck having an opening to allow access to the cavity; and a door secured to the deck so as to cover the opening, the door being removable to allow access to the cavity, the door and a portion of the deck together forming a standing surface for supporting a user person standing or kneeling on the personal watercraft when riding the personal watercraft.
- Further in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a door for a personal watercraft of the type having a hull and a deck supported by the hull, the deck and the hull together forming a cavity, the deck having an opening to allow access to the cavity, the door comprising a panel having a periphery conforming with the opening so as to cover the opening to be secured to the deck, the door being removable to allow access to the cavity.
- Having thus generally described the nature of the invention, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings, showing by way of illustration a preferred embodiment thereof and in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a port side view of a personal watercraft in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary top plan view of a stern of the personal watercraft ofFIG. 1 , illustrating a door in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 3 is a cross-section view of the door being supported by a deck of the personal watercraft; -
FIG. 4 is a exploded cross-section view of a storage tray panel positioned between the door and the deck of the personal watercraft, in accordance with an aspect of the present invention; and -
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the stern of the personal watercraft ofFIG. 2 , with the deck removed to expose components within a cavity of the personal watercraft. - Referring to the drawings, and more particularly to
FIG. 1 , a personal watercraft is generally shown at 10 (hereinafter PWC 10). The PWC 10 is configured to allow stand-up type riding. The PWC 10 has a bow B, a stern S, a port side P and a starboard side (hidden inFIG. 1 , but illustrated as D inFIG. 2 ). The PWC 10 has two main parts, namely ahull 12 and adeck 14. Thehull 12 buoyantly supports the PWC 10 in a body of water. Thehull 12 and thedeck 14 are sealed together atbond line 16. The space formed between thehull 12 and thedeck 14 forms a cavity that accommodates anengine 18, as well as other components such as, non exhaustively, a gas tank, an electrical system (battery, electronic control unit, etc.), which form, together with theengine 18, the propulsion system of the PWC 10. - The PWC 10 has a steering system that has an exposed
portion 20 pivotally connected to thedeck 14 at the bow B. The steering system is provided for the steering of the PWC 10. Anengine cover 22 is generally positioned above theengine 18, and is openable so as to provide access to theengine 18. A standingsurface 24 of thedeck 14 is positioned between theengine cover 22 and the stern S of the PWC 10. The standingsurface 24 is sized to accommodate a driver in a stand-up or kneeling position. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , anopening 26 is defined in thedeck 14 at the standingsurface 24. A standingsurface door 30 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention covers the opening 26 in thedeck 14. Thedoor 30 is removable from thedeck 14 so as to reveal theopening 26, thereby allowing access at the standingsurface 24 to the cavity defined by thehull 12 and thedeck 14. As various components are in the cavity of the PWC 10 as will described hereinafter, the opening 26 will allow access to these components upon thedoor 30 being opened. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , a cross-sectional view illustrates the interconnection between thedeck 14 and thedoor 30, in accordance with an aspect of the present invention. Thedeck 14 defines ashoulder 32 bounding the periphery of theopening 26. Thedoor 30 has a panel having amajor portion 34 surrounded peripherally by aflange 36. Agroove 38 is positioned between themajor portion 34 and theflange 36 on an unexposed side of thedoor 30. Agasket 40 is secured to a surface of thegroove 38. It is contemplated to secure thegasket 40 to the end surface of theshoulder 32 rather than on thedoor 30, but in such an embodiment thegasket 40 could be damaged by a person accessing the cavity through theopening 26. - When the
door 30 closes theopening 26, theflange 36 of thedoor 30 lies onto theshoulder 32 of thedeck 14, thereby preventing water circulation therebetween. Thegasket 40 is squeezed between an end surface of theshoulder 32 and thegroove 38 to provide additional sealing between thedoor 30 and thedeck 14. - On the exposed side of the
door 30, themajor portion 34 and theflange 36 are coplanar. Moreover, the thickness of theflange 36 is such that the exposed side of thedoor 30 is coplanar with adjacent portions of thedeck 14, together forming the generally flat standingsurface 24. The exposed side of thedoor 30 is provided with a non-slip surface 41 (e.g., a rubber mat, a granular material incorporated in the paint finish of the door 30), to increase the adherence of the rider on the standingsurface 24. - Referring concurrently to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , a plurality of throughbores 42 (only one of which is shown inFIG. 3 ) are provided in theflange 36 and emerge intocounterbores 44 in the top side of thedoor 30. Thethroughbores 42 are in register with throughbores 46 (only one of which is shown inFIG. 3 ) in theshoulder 32 of thedeck 14. Accordingly, fasteners are used to releasably secure thedoor 30 to thedeck 14. According to the anticipated frequency of access to the cavity through the opening 26, the fasteners may take different forms. For instance, if some storage space is provided in the cavity at theopening 26, it is preferable to have a quick release mechanism (e.g., latch mechanism) with a hinge to open thedoor 30. If thedoor 30 is solely used to provide access to the cavity, simpler fasteners can be used to fix thedoor 30 to thedeck 14. Thecounterbores 44 provide clearance for tools to be used to undo the fasteners. For instance, a bolt head could be released by way of a socket received in thecounterbore 34. - Referring to
FIG. 2 ,notches 48 are provided in an unexposed surface of thedoor 30. Thenotches 48 can be used as attachments for hooks or similar connectors. Accordingly, an accessory can be carried on the exposed surface of thedoor 30, for instance by being secured to thedoor 30 by way of straps hung at thenotches 48. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , a storage tray panel is generally shown at 50. Thestorage tray panel 50 is optionally provided so as to add storage space below thedoor 30. Thestorage tray panel 50 is supported by theshoulder 32 of thedeck 14. Accordingly, when thedoor 30 is secured to thedeck 14, thestorage tray panel 50 is caught between thedoor 30 and thedeck 14. Thestorage tray panel 50 is provided with eyelets 52 (one of which is shown inFIG. 4 ), which are in register with the throughbores 42 and thethroughbores 46, so as to accommodate a fastener. Thestorage tray panel 50 typically defines a concave bin. - The
door 30 typically consist of relatively rigid materials to as to support the rider standing on the standingsurface 24. For instance, thedoor 30 may have a polymeric core (e.g., an expandable polymer) with a fiberglass resin coating or injection molding. It is contemplated to produce thedoor 30 using a resin transfer molding process (TMP). Thedeck 14 typically consists of sprayed fiberglass, whereby thedeck 14 and thedoor 30 may have the same finish. Also, it is contemplated to provide inserts in the door molding process, such thatdoor 30 is produced integrally with a handle, of tapped tubes received in thethroughbores 42, for facilitating the fastening of thedoor 30 to thedeck 14. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , components typically found within the cavity of thehull 12 are illustrated. The opening of thedoor 30 allows to access these components through thedeck 14. These components include, non-exclusively,exhaust pipes 60 and amuffler 62 of the exhaust system, side branch resonators 64, adrive shaft 66, ashaft support 68, and avariable trim system 70 for adjusting the nozzle output. It is pointed out that an unexposed surface of thedoor 30 can be seated on some of the components, so as to be partially supported thereby. For instance, thedoor 30 may rest on theshaft support 68, which may be provided with a polymeric foam layer. Alternatively, thedoor 30 could have a sufficient thickness so as not to require additional support in addition to theshoulder 32 of the deck 14 (FIG. 3 ). - Although the
PWC 10 illustrated herein is of the stand-up type, it is contemplated to provide thedoor 30 to PWC having both stand-up and straddle type configurations. More specifically, PWC have been provided with a standing surface (e.g., standingsurface 24 of thePWC 10 ofFIG. 1 ) and a removable seat positioned generally above the standing surface. Thedoor 30 is well suited for such PWC. Moreover, the PWC ofFIG. 2 is provide with asingle door 30. However, it is contemplated to provide thePWC 10 with more than one door in the standingsurface 24. - It is within the ambit of the present invention to cover any obvious modifications of the embodiments described herein, provided such modifications fall within the scope of the appended claims.
