TROLLING PLATE ATTACHMENT FOR OUTBOARD MOTORS Filed Sept.- 19, 1952 INVENTOR. DAawm D Mn-H United States Patent TROLLING PLATE ATTACHMENT FOR OUTBOARD MOTORS Darwin D. Smith, Eugene, Oreg.
Application September 19, 1952, Serial No. 310,509
1 Claim. (Cl. 115-18) This invention relates to outboard motor attachments, and more particularly, has reference to a trolling plate connectible to the casing of an outboard motor, to reduce the speed of a boat on which the outboard motor is mounted, to an extent sufiicient to permit trolling.
It is well appreciated among fishermen that when one is trolling, it is desirable to travel at a very low speed. As a result, it is common practice to use a small outboard motor under these circumstances, since a large motor cannot be throttled down to an extent suflicient to slow the speed of the boat as much as is desired.
The result is that under these circumstances, one must usually have two different outboard motors, one large and one small. Or, if it is not desired to purchase two different motors, one must change propellers on a single motor, using a small propeller on a large motor when trolling. It will be appreciated that the continual changing of propellers is time-consuming, and should be avoided if possible.
In view of the above, it is the main object of the present invention to provide a speed reducing plate attachment for a large outboard motor, which, when mounted in proper position upon the motor, will be effective to slow the speed of movement of the boat on which the motor is mounted, to an extent sufficient to permit trolling.
I am aware, in this regard, that a trolling plate attachment for outboard motors, used for the purpose of reducing the speed of boat movement to an extent sufficient to allow trolling, is not new per se. However, it is an important object of the present invention to provide an attachment of the character referred to which will act automatically, by moving into an operative, speed reducing position when the motor is throttled down below a predetermined throttle setting, and to move into an inoperative position when the motor is being operated at or above said setting. In this way, it is proposed to provide an attachment of the type stated which can be left upon the motor if desired, and will not interfere with normal operation of the same, the attachment becoming operative only when the motor is throttled down to an extent sufficient to permit trolling.
Another object of importance is to provide an attachment of the character stated which can be secured to or disconnected from the casing of an outboard motor, in a minimum amount of time, and without necessity of modifying or redesigning the construction of the motor with which it is associated. 7
Another object is to provide a trolling plate attachment of the type stated which can be manufactured at low cost, and which will be of simple and durable construction.
Still another object is to provide a trolling plate attachment of the character stated wherein the means embodied therein that governs the automatic movement of the attachment to operative and inoperative positions, will be adjustable, so as to allow the device to be used with any of various motors having different power ratings.
Other objects will appear from the following description, the claims appended thereto, and from the annexed drawing, in which like reference characters designate like parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a trolling plate attachment formed in accordance with the present invention, a motor on which the attachment is mounted being illustrated fragmentarily, the full lines showing an intermediate position of the plate member of the device, the dotted lines showing an operative position of said plate member, and the chain dotted lines showing an inoperative position of the plate member;
Figure 2 is a front elevational view of the attachment, taken from the right of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view through the motor, taken substantially on line 33 of Figure 1, the attachment constituting the present invention being shown in top plan; and
Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of the plate member and hinge leaves of the attachment.
The reference numeral 10 has been applied generally in the drawings,'to designate a conventional outboard motor, said motor having the usual gear case fin 12 and the propeller 14.
The trolling or speed reducing attachment constituting the present invention has been designated generally at 16, and includes a pair of hinge leaves 18 of identical formation. The hinge leaves 18 are positioned at opposite sides of the propeller shaft housing of the outboard motor, overlying the gear case fin 12 in the manner shown to particular advantage in Figure 2.
The hinge leaves 18 are provided, at their rear ends, with sleeves 20, said sleeves being spaced transversely of their associated hinge leaves. At the other end of each hinge leaf 18, there is provided a pair of openings 22 spaced longitudinally of the hinge leaf, said openings being adapted to receive bolts or equivalent fastening elements 24, whereby the hinge leaves are fixedly connected to the gear case fin 12.
It will be understood that outboard motors differ in respect to their particular design, and accordingly, each hinge leaf 18 is also provided with a pair of openings 26, said openings being aligned transversely of the hinge leaf adjacent the sleeves 20 thereof. The openings 26 are used to receive the fastening elements 24, if the gear case fin 12 is so designed as to make it more desirable to use the openings 26, rather than the openings 22.
A plate member has been designated by the reference numeral 28, and is preferably rectangular in respect to its outer configuration, said plate member having, at its upper edge, sleeves 30 adapted to be interposed between and coaxially aligned with the respective sleeves 20 of the hinge leaves 18. A removable hinge pin 32 is extendable between the aligned sleeves 20, 3t), and connects the plate member 28 to the hinge leaves, and hence to the gear case fin, for swinging movement about a horizontal axis. One extreme position to which the plate member 28 is swingable has been shown in dotted lines in Figure 1, this being the operative position of the plate member. A second extreme position to which the plate member is swingable has been illustrated in chain dotted lines in Figure 1, this being a horizontal, inoperative position of said plate member.
Formed in the upper end of the plate member 28, at a location medially disposed between opposite sides of the plate member, is a deep recess 34, said recess being utilized to provide a clearance for the water intake and exhaust outlet of the outboard motor. It will be appreciated, in this connection, that were this recess not provided, the exhaust pressures would be exerted directly against the plate member and would affect the operation of the device adversely.
A pair of springs 36 are associated with the plate member 28, said springs being of the coiled, expansion type.
At their rear ends, the respective springs 36 are connected by eye bolts 38 to the opposite sides of the plate member 28, intermediate the upper and lower ends of the plate member. At their front ends, the springs are connected by other eye bolts 38 to the respective hinge leaves 18. In this connection, the respective hinge leaves 18 are provided, along their outer side edges, with a longitudinal series of apertures 40, any of which can be selectively employed to receive the eye bolts 38 whereby each spring is connected to a hinge sleeve. Similarly, the plate mem ber 28 is formed, at opposite sides thereof, with longitudinal series of apertures 42 selectively usable to receive eye bolts 38 in connecting the springs to the plate member.
By reason of this construction, it will be appreciated that the tension of the respective springs 36 can be adjusted as desired, for a purpose to be made presently apparent.
In this connection, it is believed that under some circumstances, the eye bolts 38 can be omitted, and the springs 36 can merely be provided with hooked ends engageable in selected ones of the apertures 40, 42.
In use of the device, the hinge leaves 18 are first connected fixedly, by means of the fastening elements 24, to the gear case fin 12. If all parts of the device have been previously assembled, this results in the entire device being mounted upon the outboard motor, ready for use.
In trolling, the outboard motor would be tbrottled down to a low setting, which might be, for example, below quarter speed. When the motor is operated at this setting, the force of the propeller wash will not be sufficient to overcome the pulling force of the springs 36, and as a result, the plate member 28 will be swung under the force of the springs to the dotted line, vertical position of said trolling plate. In this position of the plate member 28, the plate member will be disposed adjacent and immediately rearwardly of the propeller 14, in the path of the propeller wash, and will have the effect of slowing the speed of movement of the boat on which the motor is mounted, to an extent sufficient to permit trolling.
If, however, the motor is operated at or above a pre determined, low throttle setting, as for example at half or full speed, the force of the propeller wash will be sufficient to overcome the restraining action of the springs 36, with the result being that the plate member 23 will swing outwardly, away from the propeller 14, to the inoperative, horizontal position of the plate member shown in chain dotted lines in Figure 1. In this position of the plate member, said member is disposed fully out of the path of the propeller wash, and normal operation of the motor is permitted.
By adjusting the tension of the springs 36, the vertical throttle setting at which the plate member will swing between its extreme positions will, of course, be changed, as desired by the user.
It is important to note that the device is one which can be left upon an outboard motor, the device eliminating the necessity of purchasing two motors or two propellers for one motor. Further, it is considered to be a highly desirable characteristic of the invention that when the device is mounted upon a motor, it permits the user to move between trolling grounds at medium or high speeds, thus to save time. In other words, if one were using a small propeller on a large outboard motor, for trolling purposes, considerable time would be lost in travelling to the trolling grounds at which fishing operations are to be conducted, or in travelling between diiferent trolling grounds. Using the invention, however, the
fisherman is enabled to travel in a minimum amount of time to any location at which he desires to troll, and on arriving at said location, the fisherman reduces his throttle setting below the predetermined value causing the plate member to go automatically into an operative, speedreducing position.
Further, if desired, one is enabled to remove the plate member 28 without removing the hinge leaves 18 from the gear case fin, merely by withdrawal of the hinge pin 32.
A further advantage resides in the fact that when the invention is used on an outboard motor, it is not necessary to change spark plugs thereon. Usually a hot plug is used on large motors that are to be operated at low speeds, to prevent missing and to increase fuel efficiency. A cold plug is used, generally, for higher speed operation. However, when the invention is used, a cold plug is adequate at all times, since the trolling plate affords a means against which the motor can pull and prevents the colder plug from fouling at trolling speeds.
It is believed apparent that the invention is not necessarily confined to the specific use or uses thereof described above, since it may be utilized for any purpose to which it may be suited. Nor is the invention to be necessarily limited to the specific construction illustrated and described, since such construction is only intended to be illustrative of the principles of operation and the means presently devised to carry out said principles, it being considered that the invention comprehends any minor change in 'constri'lction that may be permitted within the scope of the appended claim.
