  • the foam inter-layer of the hollow deckand hull components may be resilient adjacent these configurations.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide fiberglass boats composed of foam filled hollow hull and deck shells having inter-fitting peripheral configurations that are snapped together to provide a reinforcing water-tight seam.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide improved lightweight molded plastic boat constructions with edge configurations adapted to be snapped together to form rigidifying seams.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a corner seam uniting the hull and deck of molded plastic boat components composed of shaped inter-fitting edge configurations on the components which when nested and bonded together provide a reinforced stifi connection without the use of other components.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide hollow molded plastic deck and bull components for boats which are filled with a plastic foam inter-layer and having interfitting peripheral edges easily bonded together to form water-tight reinforcing seams for the boat.

  • the deck 2 is a component of the same type as the hull 1 including a thin outer wall 4', a hard foam interlayer 5' and a thin inner wall 6'.
  • hull I and deck 2 are of very light and relatively thin construction, it is important that the two components be united by a rigid, strong, water-tight connection or seam that does not require additional fittings and which can be bonded together without difficulty, producing an integrated unitary boat body.
  • connection joint or seam 3 is provided by forming a wedge-shaped tongue or upper edge 7 on the hull l with a relatively small angle of inclination.
  • the outer layer 4 of the hull 1 is connected or merged with the inner layer 6 through the wedge-shaped wall section 7 which may converge to a pointed apex or terminate in a flat upper plane surface as shown.

  • the wedge-shaped edge 7 of the boat hull into the groove 8 of the deck 2 it is preferably coated with a hardenable plastic, glue or other adhesive and the two parts are then pressed together. Due to the wedge inclination of the walls, a firm bonding will result and any deviations from an accurate fitting shape will be corrected by the resiliency of the adjacent parts which is accommodated by having the foam interlayers 5 or 5 around the margins at least being somewhat resilient and flexible.
  • the upper horizontal part of the edge 7 on the boat hull l is provided with a groove in the top end. thereof in the range where the inner-layer 6 merges with the outer layer 4 of the hull 1.
  • the edge 7 of the hull l and the groove 8 of the deck have a circular, instead of a wedge-shaped configuration, and the inner edge 10 of the groove 8 will snap over the rounded bulge of the edge 7 as the parts are pressed together.
  • the snap fit may be tight enough so that glue or other adhesive need not be used.
  • a circumferential seal 11 in the form of a soft rubber strip, plastic or the like may be placed in the groove and surround the bulbous portion of the edge 7 as shown, thereby providing a cushion between the deck and hull.

  • the undercut or hook-like projection 13 of the nested configurations may be designed so that a little resiliency of the components will permit the parts to be snapped together in locked relationship.
  • an arrowhead projection 7 is formed on the hull and is received in a correspondingly-shaped recess 8 in the deck, thereby providing two hook-like locks 13, one on the outside and one on the inside.
  • the inter-fitting edge and recess are provided with a series of barb-like projections 13 and recesses along the sides thereof.
  • the contour of the recess 8 and the projection 7 is similar to the wedge arrangement of FIG. 1 with the barb and barb recesses being formed in the parts.
  • an M-shaped edge .7 is provided seating in a corresponding contour 8 with the barb and groove arrangement 13 being provided to lock the two parts together.
  • sealing bands can be interposed between the inter-mated parts.
  • the hull 1 of the boat is reinforced with a central supporting rib 14 which is also connected with the deck 2 for a better stiffening of both the deck and hull.
  • the rib 14 has an edge 7 similar to that shown in FIG. 6 and provided with the barbs, while the central portion of the bottom layer 4 of the deck has a mating groove 8 receiving the edge.

  • the boat hull is illustrated as having a center board slot 16 bounded by two walls 17.
  • the edges 7 of these walls 17 have wedge surfaces or undercut surfaces as desired, fitting in mating grooves 8 in the deck 2 which has a slot that also registers with the slot 16.
  • the periphery of the deck 2 can be provided with a tread portion 18 designed at an inclination of 45 with respect to the deck plane, and this can be provided in the region between the mast and rudder of the deck of a sailboat.
  • the tread may extend over the deck surface as shown at 18' in FIG. 11, and a further tread surface 18" may also be provided on the inner periphery of the deck.
  • the tread surfaces 18 and 18" strengthen the deck peripheries and further strengthening can be obtained by a laminate l9 embedded in the tread 18 or 19' embedded in the foam as shown in FIG. 11a.
  • the upper edge of the hull l terminates in end edges 7 of the inner layer 6 and outer layer 4, and the foam interior 5 is exposed.
  • the free end edges of the layers 4 and 6 are deformed or flattened outwardly from the foam layer 5. This flattening can be done by heating a boat hull composed of thermoplastic material around the peripheral edges thereof, or these outturned shapes can be made during initial production of the hull.
  • the groove 8 in the bottom face of the deck 2 is correspondingly undercut to receive the outturned beads or flanges 7.
  • the foam inner layer 5 may engage the bottom of the recess 8 and will be sufficiently resilient to permit the mating of the parts. Cement may be used to form a water-tight joint.
  • the inner periphery of the deck 2 may have a downturned flange to rigidify the deck.
  • the mating configuration of the edge 7 and recess 8 is sloped back from the periphery of the hull as shown, eliminating any ledge around the periphery of the hull which might offer resistance to water flow.
