Abstract
A watercraft storage system, a ‘wishbone’ or U-shaped cradle, liftable and rotatable by an overhead crane, comprises adjustable air filled hull supports to either side of a boat hull and a keel support toward the stem of the watercraft. The cradle central opening clears a cantilever storage rack support beam assembly allowing the watercraft to be lowered onto or raised from the cantilever storage rack support beam assembly by an overhead traveling crane. To substantially reduce any longitudinal swaying of the cradle and watercraft during raising and lowering, a system of diagonal anti-sway bracing cables that automatically retract and extend is employed. In the preferred embodiment, the cradle is lowered into a water-filled channel within the storage structure to re-float the watercraft. A watercraft to be stored can be brought into the channel which contains alignment means to accurately position the watercraft over the cradle.
Description
- The field of the invention pertains to large-scale warehouse and boat storage facilities and, in particular, to the out-of-water storage of motor yachts.
- For storage and repair, motor yachts of about 30 to 80 feet in length are typically hauled from the water in slings suspended from wheeled gantry cranes or in cradles riding on marine railways. Larger yachts require marine railways or dry docks. Smaller yachts utilize trailers towable behind vehicles—usually trucks.
- Powerboats and yachts above about 25 feet in length typically are stored outdoors on trailers or cradles. On occasion, they are stored on wooden blocks and supports. Small boats below about 20 feet in length are now often stored in warehouses on racks. The small boats are placed in, or removed from, the racks with forklift trucks (“hi-lo's”). Such trucks are inadequate for larger boats and yachts for a variety of reasons.
- Since indoor warehousing of a wide variety of other objects up to and including the size of automobiles has become common, there has been some development of more convenient and safer warehousing for small boats. Illustrative of such warehousing is U.S. Pat. No. 6,007,288 wherein the warehouse is equipped with a traveling overhead crane having a specialized cradle to lift a boat. The boat racks comprise frame assemblies to support rack assemblies having cantilever beams to support the boats. While practical for small boats, such a warehousing system is not practical for large powerboats and yachts.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,786,942 discloses an overhead traveling crane for carrying boats in suspended slings. The suspended slings descend from a first frame that is carried by a second frame in direct suspension from the traveling crane. The first frame is movable horizontally and remains with the stored boat in a rack.
- U.S. Pat. Pub. No. 2002/0176767 discloses a rotatable forklift that travels on rails into and out of the storage area to place boats in storage racks. This design allows relatively low warehouses with low doors to be used.
- Japanese Pat. Pub. No. 2-183055 and No. 2-241891 disclose a relatively low tower for lifting a boat from the water or a trailer and transferring the tower and boat to a second lift where the tower and boat are lifted to a storage location in a rack. The boat is supported on a frame that is moved into, or retrieved from, the storage location.
- French Pat. Pub. No. 2552411 discloses an overhead traveling crane with a telescopic retrieval device for lifting boats from underneath and depositing them in racks for storage.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,190,013 discloses an overhead traveling crane with a rotator and a telescopic frame hanging therefrom to lift relatively small boats to storage locations. U.S. Pat. No. 6,162,003 discloses a honeycomb cell-like storage configuration that is particularly directed to sailing yachts with deep keels and substantial draft. The individual boats are supported on individual cradles that, in turn, slide or roll into individual cells.
- While suitable for small watercraft storage, the devices of the prior art are not practical for the storage and retrieval of large power yachts weighing many tons and worth hundreds of thousands, and sometimes millions, of dollars.
- This application discloses further improvements on the watercraft storage systems disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,007,288 and International Publication No. WO 2005/073074 A2, which are incorporated herein by reference. In particular, the new improvements are directed to the storage of boats lying in size and weight between the boats contemplated in the patent, and publication just above but these improvements are not necessarily limited thereto.
- The new improvements comprise a new U-shaped or “wishbone” cradle that better supports a boat and allows easy placement and retrieval of a boat into and from a cantilever storage rack. The system as a whole is improved by a channel within the storage structure fitted with features for alignment of a boat therein to quickly facilitate placement of a boat on a cradle. The cradle provides full support of the keel adjacent the stern and full support of the hull to either side of the cradle central opening and well ahead of the boat center of gravity.
- Further new improvements comprise components of the anti-sway cable system that diagonally braces the suspended cradle and any boat thereon. The diagonal bracing cables suppress longitudinal sway which must be substantially prevented as the cradle is raised, lowered, translated horizontally, or rotated. Each of the diagonal bracing cables shorten or lengthen as the cradle is raised or lowered while maintaining proper tension to prevent sway. The proper tension is provided by a rotatable drum upon which the cables wind and unwind. The rotatable drum is preferably controlled by a dynamic brake and motor connected thereto.

FIG. 1 is a plurality ofracks 10 to either side of acentral gallery 12 for storage of a plurality ofboats 14 all inside asubstantial structure 16. Thestructure 16 is located adjacent a canal, stream or other body of water whereby achannel 18 can lead into thestructure gallery 12. There may be tie-uplocations 20 onwalkways 22 outside the structure. Beyond thechannel 18 are a hull washing and dryingstation 24 and a cradle adjusting station 26 both in thegallery 12. Within thechannel 18 is a cradle and boat raising and loweringlocation 28 in which the boats' position is variable depending on the length and center-of-gravity of the boat. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , there are four levels of boat storage racks 10 totaling 128 racks for boats; however, more or less total racks can be accommodated by changing the length or height of thestructure 16. Supported above thegallery 12 is a travelingoverhead crane 30 movable the length of the structure above the gallery and racks 10. Suspended on a plurality ofcables 32 is a specially shapedboat cradle 34 andboat 36 that can be lowered into or raised from thechannel 18 atlocation 28. Once above thegallery 12floor 38, arotator 40 on the travelingcrane 30 allows thecradle 34 andboat 36 to be rotated 90° to either side for placement on arack 10. With theboat 36 andcradle 34 rotated 90°, the travelingcrane 30 can move longitudinally and laterally to the position shown in dashedoutline 42 and put the cradle and boat in position for placement on arack 10. - In
FIGS. 4 and 5 , thechannel 18 is equipped with several important features for moving a boat and positioning a boat properly in thecradle 34. As aboat 36 is towed bow first into thechannel 18 by awinch 44 andcable 45, the boat keel engages a V-roller 46 and a second V-roller 48 mounted on shafts. The ends of the shafts are mounted in blocks that, in turn, allow the shafts to move vertically intracks 50 on the channel sidewalls. The shafts are covered byfloatation cylinders 52 which allow the V-rollers 46 to remain at the water surface when unengaged and to engage the boat keel from underneath when submerged. Thus, the boat automatically becomes properly aligned laterally in thechannel 18. Theboat 36 can then be lifted by thecradle 34 from thechannel 18. - When a
boat 36 enters or is retrieved and is raised or lowered into thechannel 18, amovable catwalk 54 is lowered over thechannel 18 in the manner of a draw-span and then moved onrails 56 to a location adjacent the stern of the boat. A pair ofequal length lines 58 is attached to the stern andcatwalk 54, as shown, and the catwalk drawn back in the direction ofarrow 60 to remove or insert the boat from or into the raising and loweringlocation 28. - The
channel 18 also includes acover 62 that may be drawn out to cover the channel when thestructure 16 is otherwise completely closed, thereby sealing off the channel from the interior of the structure. Thechannel cover 62 drum may be as shown or down in thechannel 18 to betterclear winch cable 45 but above the high water level in the channel. - In
FIG. 6 , a system of anti-sway cables is depicted. Theanti-sway cables 64 diagonally brace the suspendedcradle 34 longitudinally to prevent sway as the cradle is raised, lowered, translated horizontally, or rotated. As thevertical cables 32 shorten or lengthen as thecradle 34 is raised or lowered, theanti-sway cables 64 must also shorten or lengthen while providing adequate tension to prevent sway. The proper tension is provided by arotatable drum 66 for winding thecables 64 and a dynamic brake and motor connected to the drum. Thedrum 68 for the liftingcables 32 is also illustrated in dashed outline. The anti-sway cable system is further explained below. - Illustrated in
FIGS. 7 , 8, 9 and 10 is theboat cradle 34 in detail. Thesides 70 of thecradle 34 are of generally open truss work, and thebase 72 is U-shaped of open truss work. At thestern end 74 are twolateral frame pieces sides 70 together and support akeel block 80 shaped to engage and support the boat keel near the boat stern. Forward of thelateral frame pieces platforms platforms sides 70 of thecradle 34. Slideable on top of eachplatform smaller platforms platforms -
FIGS. 11 , 12, and 13 illustrate the positioning of thecradle 34 in relation to arack 10. Eachrack 10 comprises a pair ofhorizontal beams overall structure 16. Centrally located on and supported by thehorizontal beams cantilever beam assembly 102 comprising two parallelhorizontal beams cross-members 108. The cross-members 108 are formed or adjustable to match the keel and the hull shape of a particular boat and are preferably located beneath bulkheads of the boat. Thereby, the boat can be supported in therack 10 for long periods of time without warpage or other damage to the hull. - As shown in
FIG. 12 , thecradle 34 is positioned just above thehorizontal beams cantilever beam assembly 102. The U-shape of thecradle 34 fits around thecantilever beam assembly 102 as best shown inFIG. 11 . Thecradle 34, being suspended on thecables 32, thus can be raised and lowered above and below thecantilever beam assembly 102 without contact between them. - In
FIGS. 14 , 15 and 16, the outline of aboat 36 has been added to illustrate the position of the boat on thecradle 34 and just above thecantilever beam assembly 102. Theboat 36 bow extends well beyond therack 10 andcradle 34; however, the boat beam and center of gravity is well within the cradle. Lowering thecradle 34 from the position shown rests theboat 36 on the V-shapedcross-members 108, and the cradle can be backed out sternwise by theoverhead crane 30. - For retrieval of a
boat 36, thecradle 34 is brought into thecantilever beam assembly 102 and raised, lifting the boat off the cross-members 108 and above the assembly to the position shown. Thecradle 34 carrying theboat 36 can then be moved sternwise horizontally to retrieve the boat. - The detail of
FIG. 17 illustrates the hingedplatform 90 supporting the cushioning means 94 andboat 36 hull. The hingedplatform 90 includes ahinge 110 along one side fastened to ahorizontal platform 112 which, in turn, slides onplatform 86. Thus, cushioning means 94 can be moved horizontally and rotated upwardly to engage a boat hull as required. To retain the cushioning means 94 at the correct angle,wedges 114 are placed or driven into the position shown betweenplatform 90 andplatform 112. Screw jacks or hydraulic lifts might also be used to raise and lower and to slideplatforms - In
FIG. 18 , theoverhead traveling crane 30 movably supports arotator carriage 120 which can translate in the direction ofarrow 122 perpendicular tomovement 124 of the crane. Therotator carriage 120 in turn supports therotator 40 shown schematically. Therotator 40 includes descendingvertical columns 126 which connect to apulley frame 128. All of these components are of very robust steel construction. - The
pulley frame 128 supports two separate descending cable systems as also illustrated inFIG. 19 .Vertical lifting cables 32 perform the function of raising and lowering thecradle 34. InFIG. 6 , the vertical cables are shown assingle cables 32 at the “four corners” of a square or rectangular horizontal pattern. In contrast, inFIGS. 18 and 19 , thecorner cables 32 pass throughpulleys 130 attached to thecradle 34. Theanti-sway bracing cables 64, however, are single cables also connected adjacent the “four corners” to thecradle 34. Physically, theupper rails 132 of thecradle 34 provide locations forattachments 134 of thevertical cables 32 andattachments 136 of the diagonal bracingcables 64. - Thereabove, the
pulley frame 128 supports a plurality of pulleys for both thevertical cables 32 and the bracingcables 64. The pattern of pulleys attached to thepulley frame 128 are best shown inFIGS. 20 to 22 wherein inFIG. 20 the pulley frame replicates the “four corners” pattern as described for thecradle 34. Thevertical cables 32 at each corner of thepulley frame 128 attach at 138 and pass over pulleys 140. Adjacent each corner arepulleys 142 over which pass the bracingcables 64. Atop therotator 40 are thedrum 68 for thevertical lifting cables 32 and thedrum 66 for the bracingcables 64. - Referring to
FIG. 21 , the fourcables 32 are horizontally directed frompulleys 140 topulleys 144 which, in turn, direct the cables upwardly to drum 68.Drum 68 is preferably electric motor powered to raise and lower thecradle 34. To provide smooth winding and unwinding of thecable 32,pulleys 144 are movable parallel to the axis of thedrum 68 as indicated byarrows 146, and pulleys 140 are free to swivel as indicated byarrows 148. - Referring to
FIG. 22 wherein only the bracingcables 64 are shown in addition toFIG. 21 wherevertical lifting cables 32 are also shown, the bracingcables 64 pass horizontally frompulleys 142 aroundpulleys 150 and on topulleys 152 directly below thedrum 66. Thepulleys 152direct cables 64 upwardly to drum 66 for winding and unwinding on the drum.Pulleys 152 are movable in a direction parallel to the axis ofdrum 66, as indicated byarrows 154, to provide smooth winding and unwinding under a tension load preferably provided by a dynamic electric brake and motor combination connected to the drum. Dynamic electric brake and motor combinations are well known in the elevator art, however, in this application thecables 64 act as structural diagonal bracing which changes length as required.
