Extending laterally. and rigidly from the shaft 46 is a rearwardlyextending arm 4S.termin ating in an internally. threaded aperture 50 for tirrreadedlyY 4receiving a threaded portion 52 of an elongated cylindrical housing generally designated bythe numeral 54. A lock screw 56 is provided in the armi48V forilockingthe vertical housing 54in vertically adjusted position.
`The upper end of the housing54 is provided with a boltiSS which pivotally mounts an elongated handle 60 having a hand-grip portionY 62 extending inwardlyiof` the boat 12 and the other end thereofis provided with a depending rod 64 which has an inwardly extending socket 66 therein telescopically receiving an4 elongated rod .68 for a purpose describedhereinafter.
The elongated housing 54 includes an uppersection 70, a lower section 72 and an interconnecting casing 74 which is substantially JU-.shaped in coniiguration, and the rod 658 is rigidlysecured to the casing 74. The lower yendof the lower section 72 lis provided with a propeller 76 and is alsoprovided with a vertically extending shaft 78which drives the propeller 76. Above the propeller 76 is provided the usual cavitation plate Sil and below the propeller 76 is the usual rearwardly extending member 82. The lower leg of the U-shaped casing 74 encircles the lower section 72 and is rigidly secured theretoby a bolt member S4. The upper leg of the U-slraped casing 74 encircles the upper section 7) in slightly spaced relation as designated by numeral .86 to permit relative pivotal movement between the casing 74 and the upper section 70 upon pivotal movement of the handle 60 wherein Vthe swinging movement will be transmitted by the rod 68 for pivoting the lower section 72 about a vertical axisthereby varying the angular position of the propeller 76.
A hollow gear box 88 is provided with removable retainer nuts 91 which captively retain vflanges 90 on .the upper `and lower sections 70 and 72. for mounting lthe same on the gear box for relative rotation lwherein kthe upper leg of the U-shaped casing 74 rests on the upper end ofthe gear, box 8S. The gear box 88 is provided with a vertically disposed bearing portion VSlZihaving a stub shaft 94 journaled thereon. A bevel gear.96is mounted onone end of the stub shaft 94 and is in meshing engagement with a bevel gear 9S on theiupper ,end of the vertical shaft 78 thereby driving the vertical shaft 78 from the stub shaft 94. The stub shaft 94 is provided with a universal coupling 100 adjacent the center thereof and the free end of the stub shaft 94 is provided with a hollow polygonal socket 102 which extends inwardly from the free end thereof and which telescopically engages over the polygonal end of the drive shaft 20 from the inboard motor 14 whereby rotational force may be transmitted through the stub shaft 94, gear, gear 98 and shaft 78 to the propeller 76.
Rigidly secured to the gear casing or gear box 88 is a tubular member 104 which terminates at its free end in substantially a semi-spherical portion 106 for engagement with a plurality of outwardly bowed resilient clips 108 'which coact to form a resilient cup or socket for clampingly engaging the semi-spherical portion 106 of the tubular member 104. The free ends of the clips S are provided with outturned curved portions 110 to facilitate the entry of the spherical member 106 therebetween. Also, the outwardly bowed portions of the clips 108 are interconnected by an annular ring 112 which orientates the clips 108 in proper position and maintains the tension thereon. All of the clips 108 are mounted on a supporting plate 114 and these clips are equally spaced circumferentially about the drive shaft 20 whereby the' drive Shaft 20 will be retained in telescopic engagement with the stub shaft 94 when the propeller is being driven in a reverse direction. This resilient engagement will also permit breaking of the driving connection in the event the lower section 72 of the housing 54 engages some foreign object in the water such as an obstruction or the like. This also will permit the outboard motor attachment to be pivoted upwardly and about a transverse axis for repair or removal of the housing in the associated mechanism. This construction also eliminates the tendency of a boat with an inboard to capsize when it runs aground due to the shaft, strut and the usual obstructions on the bottom. Also, a boat constructed in accordance with the present invention may be easily beached for pleasure or in the event of an emergency.
As shown in Figs. 3 and 5, the tubular member 104 is provided with a longitudinal bore 116 that is oval-shaped in cross section for permitting limited pivotal movement of the stub shaft 94 for alignment of the socket 102 with the pointed end 32 of the shaft 20. A pair of opposed pins 118 extend into the bore 116 for engagement with the shaft 94. The pins 118 include heads slidable in passages 120 and springs 122 engage the outer ends of the pins 118 for urging the same inwardly. An adjustable screw threaded plug 124 is provided in each passage 120 for engagement with the outer ends of the springs 122 for varying the spring tension. The pins 118 engage the stub shaft 94 when the driving connection is disconnected for holding the free end of the stub shaft 94 adjacent the upper surface of the bore 102, as shown in Fig. 6, thereby retaining the socket or bore 102 in alignment with the pointed end 32 of drive shaft 20 for automatically interconnecting shafts 20 and 94 when the attachment is pivoted downwardly about a transverse axis.
