Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transport device which is intended for boats and the like on shore and which may be carried along at sea.
  • the invention has points in common with trailers, boat trailers and boat recovery trolleys. What charac ⁇ terises trailers is that they must be loaded, which necessitates lifting, and what characterises the other two is that the load must be hauled up.
  • the devices are con ⁇ sidered to generally satisfy boat owners' need of using them twice a year, but they are less convenient for a boat owner who has no berth or does not want to leave his boat in the harbour. They are also not convenient for e.g.. owners of small boats who want to keep the boat in the garden and quickly to go on a boating excursion. Besides, they cannot be used if you want to go ashore and recover the boat temporarily or continue by land to some other place.
  • the object of the invention is to make it easier for this new type of boat owners or temporary boat owners to transport their boats by providing a device which can be mounted on the boat and dismounted therefrom, be used with or without a towbar and be carried along at sea, with the wheels either turned up onto or into the boat or staying in the lowered position under the boat.
  • This object is achieved by the connection between wheels and axles and the attachment on the stern forming a platform (rear supporting member) on which the transported boat should rest, and the remaining connection to a part adapted to be attached to the stern comprising a hinge slightly behind and above the lower side of the stern, and a hinge in a part connected to the stern and positioned slightly above the actual stern.
  • the towbar To render it possible to carry along the towbar at sea and park it on top of the boat and to make it flexible in the raising and lowering movements, it is designed as shafts extending freely outside the sides of the boat and joined into a rod in front of the stem, and the shafts are hinged at their points of attachment adjacent the wheel axle or parts connected to the wheel axle. To make it easier to transport the towbar without losing known properties of e.g. boat trailers, it is made in two parts, one provided with a ball coupling sleeve, a winch and an abutment.
  • the boat can be hoisted, and in the final phase the front portion of the other part, which consists of joined shafts, will extend into the part provided with • the ball coupling sleeve, and the necessary wedging of the boat will be obtained between the abutment and the rear supporting member.
  • the part provided with the ball coupling sleeve can thus be easily dismounted and carried along at sea and, attached to for example a tree, be used as a winch or be used for continued transport, even if the recovery place is not the same as the launching place. Consequently, further transport is facilitated since only a traction vehicle is needed.
  • a lug in the front of the wheel axle to which clamping bands can be attached, pulled along the underside towards the stem and be clamped there, or be pulled further over the boat to the stern attachment to be clamped, whereupon the boat can be towed by means of e.g. a loop formed of the towing belt at the stem.
  • the length and suspension of the axle may be adjusted to allow the wheels to go freely under the boat.
  • Figs 1, 2 and 3 are side views
  • Fig. 4 is a top plan view
  • Fig. 5 is a front view.
  • the invention comprises a supporting member (rear sup- porting member) on which the rear part of the boat should rest and which is provided with a wheel axle 4, wheels, a pair of carrier arms 1, a pair of lower arms 2 and a pair of upper arms 3.
  • the pair of lower arms is fixedly con ⁇ nected to the carrier arms.
  • the pair of upper arms is hinged to the lower arms at 5 and is adapted to be hinged at 6 to a pair of arms 7 attached to the inside of the stern of the boat.
  • the front of the wheel axle is fitted with a towing lug 8 to which clamping bands can be attached.
  • the wheel axle and wheels may consequently be turned both at the upper and at the lower points of fixture 5 and 6. If neces ⁇ sary, the rear supporting member can be mounted and dis ⁇ mounted at any of these hinges.
  • the towbar is made in two parts, one female member 9 (wide tube) and a male member 10 (narrow tube whose front portion should extend into the wide tube).
  • the male member comprises two shafts adapted to extend along and outside the sides of the boat, and at the front (in front of the stem of the boat) joined into a single tube.'
  • the shafts are attached to the wheel axle or parts 11 connected thereto so as to be turnable about the points of fixture, which is necessary to allow variation of the supporting member from the land transport position to sea transport position (i.e. lowered under the boat or parked on or in the boat). Even if the supporting member is not adjusted after land transport, the male member and also the female member, unless this has been dismounted, must allow pivoting into the boat so as to rest against the rail.
  • a lug or snap hook 12 is attached to the front end of the male member.
  • the female member comprises a ball coup ⁇ ling sleeve 13, a winch 14, an abutment 15 and a front supporting member 15 on which the front part of the boat should rest.
  • the abutment and the front supporting member are attached above the towbar of the actual female member.
  • the towing wire or belt 21, to the end of which a lug or snap hook 17 is attached, extends from the winch through a hole in the towbar adjacent the ball coupling sleeve into, through and out of the towbar.
  • the ball coupling sleeve is connected to the ball of the traction vehicle and the snap hooks of the male and the female member are interconnected.
  • the male member gradually extends into the female member, whereas the abutment and the front supporting member move towards the stem and, respectively, under the boat, thereby wedging the boat to the rear supporting member.
  • the boat is ready for transport on shore. Even if the rear supporting member is dismounted before going to the sea, the transport is facilitated as compared to prior art devices.
  • the boat with the stern in the front is moved towards land.
  • the supporting member is pushed in under the stern of the boat by means of the shafts and is fixed by means of the lower arms to the hinge 5, whereupon the shafts are turned 180 degrees towards the stem of the boat. The boat is turned and may be pulled or winched.
  • movable clamping bands provided with loops can be placed so as to steady the supporting action.
  • runners may be mounted under the wheels or instead of the wheels, thereby allowing the boat to be towed by a snow-mobile.
  • the supporting member may be parked in a number of positions, two being illustrated in Figs 1 and 3.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the transition from sea position to land position, which is effected at sea before landing.
  • the intended load consists of a boat.
  • the invention can advantageously be used for transports of other loads, for example small containers.

Abstract

Dispositif de transport pour charges, en particulier pour bateaux, comportant un élément de support arrière doté d'un essieu (4) et de roues, pouvant être fixé à la poupe d'un bateau. Après la mise à l'eau, l'élément de support peut, s'il n'est pas démonté, être rabattu sur le bateau ou dans le bateau même et avant la mise à terre, être abaissé à nouveau sous le bateau. Ladite invention comporte une barre de remorquage (9, 10) en deux parties montée pivotante sur l'essieu (4) ou sur des parties reliées audit essieu. Les deux parties de la barre de remorquage (9, 10) sont reliées par un dispositif à manivelle à une unité fixe, une barre de butée (15) se déplaçant vers l'étrave du bateau et un élément de support avant (16) se déplaçant sous le bateau qui est ensuite bloqué pour être transporté.
