Description

OUTBOARD MOTOR SUPPORT Filed May 13, 1966 I9 2| 22 Al/ I /H l f 20% 14 le m 3,387,806 'UTBQARD MOTOR SUIORT Chai-ies S. Eubanks, 812 Fairhaven Drive, Hamilton, Ohio 45013 Filed May 13, 1966, Ser. No. 549,996 1 Claim. (Cl. 24S- 4) AESTRACT QF THE DISCLOSURE A storage support for an outboard motor which will support a motor in a horizontal position preventing movement of the motor during such storage.
Brief summary of the invention A simple outboard motor support that can be used to store an outboard motor, or the support can be placed in the trunk of an automobile to rmly support the motor in transit without the aid of fastening means. The support comprises a base plate provided with a pair of uprights each with a bifurcated, U-snaped upstanding portion carrying resilient pads on the inner faces to snugly receive the propeller carrying portion of an outboard motor.
This invention relates to an improved outboard motor support for holding the outboard motor when not in use, to either store the motor or to support the motor in the trunk of an automobile.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple support that 'will hold an outboard motor in a position to avoid damage to the motor while being stored or transported without any supplemental fastening means.
My invention will be further readily understood from the following description and claim, and from the drawings, in which latter:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of my improved support holding an outboard motor.
FG. 2 is a side view of the same.
FIG. 3 is an end view of the same.
FiG. 4 is a modied end view of the same.
My improved outboard motor support comprises a base 1i on which a pad 12 is secured to support the motor end of an outboard motor. In the center of the base and in alignment with the pad 12 are pairs of spaced up- States Patent O ice rights 13, 14, 15 and le, having resilient pads 17 and 18 on the inner faces thereof. The outboard motor 19 is placed on the support with the motor end 2() of the outboard motor on the pad 12 and the lower frame of the outboard motor is positioned between the pads 17 on the uprights i3 and 14. Most outboard -rnotors have flanges 2l and 22 near the propeller end. These anges 21 and 22 snugly t between the uprights 1S and 16 with the portions between the tianges of the outboard motor firmly held between the pads 18.
Por motors not having the flanges 21 and 22 a pad 23 is provided between the upriglrts 15 and 16 as shown in FG. 4 to hold the propeller above the base.
Thus in both structures the large base 11 forms a stable support to store the motor on or when placed in the trunk of an automobile the motor can easily be placed thereon and held in position during transportation without any supplemental fastening means.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. An outboard motor storage support comprising:
(a) a flat base plate being substantially of a size in length and width equal to the length of an outboard motor,
(b) a secondary base on said plate having spaced U-shaped uprights extending upwardly therefrom,
(c) one of said U-shaped uprights having a raised portion between said uprights,
(d) resilient pads ou the inner faces of said uprights and on said raised portion,
(e) a pad on the base plate in alignment with said uprights to support the motor end of an outboard motor, and
(f) said uprights adapted to firmly hold said outboard motor in position.
