Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Disclosed herein is an outboard motor including a propulsion unit having an upper unit, a lower unit carrying a propeller, and an elongated, tubular member connecting the upper and lower units.
  • the propulsion unit is pivotally supported by a support assembly from a mounting bracket mounted on a boat hull for movement between an operating position where the tubular member is generally upright outboard of the boat and the lower unit is submerged in the water and a storage position where the tubular member is generally horizontal and the lower unit is located inboard of the boat.
  • the support assembly includes a support member fixedly connected to the tubular member at a location intermediate the upper and lower units, a first sleeve slidably mounted on the tubular member below the support member, a second sleeve slidably mounted on the tubular member above the support member, and a pair of links respectively pivotally connected to the first and second sleeves and pivotally connected at spaced locations to the mounting bracket.
  • Low-powered, electrically-operated outboard motors are used for fishing, particularly when a low'speed, silent operation of the boat is desired.
  • These small mo tors are mounted on the boat in a manner so they can be withdrawn from the water and retained inside the boat in a retracted position when the boat is to be propelled at normal speed by a higher horsepower motor or to be transported.
  • the entire motor, including the propeller preferably should be located inboard of the boat.
  • the motor mount desirably should be arranged so that the motor is swung through as small an arc as possible.
  • the invention provides an outboard motor including a propulsion unit having an upper unit, a lower unit carrying a propeller, means connecting the upper and lower units including an elongated member, a bracket adapted to be mounted on a boat hull, and means mounted on the elongated member and pivotally connected to the bracket for supporting the propulsion unit from the boat and for affording movement of the propulsion unit between an operating position where the elongated member is generally upright outboard of the boat and the lower unit is submerged in the water and a storage position where the elongated member is generally horizontal and the lower unit is located inboard of the boat.
  • a support member which is fixedly connected to the elongated member at a location intermediate the upper'and lower units, a first sleeve means which is slidably mounted on the tubular member between the support member and lower unit and is engaged by the support member to support the-propulsion unit in the operating position and a second sleeve means which is slidably mounted on the tubular member between the support member and the upper unit.
  • Arcuate movement of the propulsion unit is provided by first and second link means which are respectively pivotally connected to the sleeve means and are pivotally connected to the bracket for pivotal movement relative to the bracket between the operating and storage positions.
  • a latch means is provided for releasably and selectively holding the first link means in the operating and storage positions.
  • means can be provided for limiting the pivotal movement of the first link means relative to the bracket in the direction toward the storage position so as to establish the angular position of the elongated member to the vertical, and thus the propeller trim, when the propulsion unit is in theoperating position.
  • the limiting means comprises a stop member which is vertically adjustable relative to the bracket so that the propeller trim can be adjusted.
  • One of the principal features of the invention is the provision of an improved mounting arrangement for an outboard motor whereby the outboard motor can be moved between an operating position and a storage position with a minimum of effort.
  • Another of the principal'features of the invention is the provision of such a mounting arrangement including a latching mechanism which is operable to selectively and releasably retain the outboard motor in either the operating or storage position.
  • Another of the principal features of the invention is the provision of such a mounting arrangement including means for conveniently adjusting the propeller trim.

  • the upper sleeve 32 is free to slide axially on the tubular member 18 (while the support member 38 remains in engagement with the lower sleeve 30 due to the weight of the propulsion unit 12) during initial movement of the propulsion unit 12 towards the storage position.
  • the upper sleeve 32 eventually engages the lugs 36 and the tubular member 18 thereafter is moved axially with respect to the lower sleeve 30, by the pulling action applied thereto by the upper sleeve 32, until the lugs 35 are engaged by the lower sleeve 30.
  • the links 44, the bearing surfaces 55 and the arms 50 are arranged so that, while being moved between the operating and storage positions, the arms 50 travel through an arc (e.g. 155) larger than the travel arc (e.g. 120) for the links 44.
  • the tubular member 18 assumes a generally horizontal position when the propulsion unit 12 is in the storage position. Also, since the radius of the arcuate path through which the lower end of the propulsion unit 12 travels is relatively short, the effort required to move the propulsion unit 12 between the operating and storage position is considerably less than that required with many prior art mounting arrangements.
  • the combined effect of the weight of the propulsion unit and the relative axial movement between the tubular member 18 and the sleeves 30 and 32 causes the propulsion unit 12 to be returned to the operating position where the support member 28 engages the lower sleeve 30.
