Definitions
- This invention concerns in general craft with sight navigation, and in particular planing craft, and regards specifically the piloting equipment for such craft.
- State of Technique To pilot the type of craft taken into consideration herein they usually have a bridge with navigation instruments, a rudder control system and a steering position for the pilot with one or more seats.
- the piloting cabin with the piloting command and control means is static, that is the positions do not change, which obliges the pilot to move, to stand up and to stretch forward, sometimes into difficult and uncomfortable positions and conditions, searching each time for a better view towards the bow based on his stature and/or inclination during acceleration and when planing.
- One of the objects of this invention is to create the conditions so as to be able to ensure the best visibility for the pilot from the piloting position on the craft, whatever the attitude it undertakes while navigating.
- a further object of the invention is to equip a craft with variable positioning piloting equipment that enables the pilot to manage comfortably by changing his piloting position as he wishes and to consequently have better forward visibility in relation to the bow and to any inclination the craft undertakes in the water.
- a piloting system for craft according to which the pilot's post, including the bridge with the navigation instruments, the control device of the rudder and at least one chair for the pilot, is movable at least in height on the dashboard between a lowered and a raised position moving through several intermediate positions in order to modify the visibility field of the pilot towards the bow.
- the piloting equipment is set up on a platform that forms a floor for the pilot and that is guided at least in height inside a well, supported by devices to move it vertically and being equipped with means for positioning and blocking it at different heights between the two extreme lowered and raised positions.
- Fig. 1 shows an overall view from above of the system according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows a cross section view towards the bow of the system in Fig. 1 in the lowered position
- Fig. 3 shows a similar view of the piloting system but in a raised position
- Figs. 4 and 5 show a longitudinal section of the system respectively in the lowered and raised positions corresponding to Figs. 2 and 3;
- Fig. 5a shows an enlarged detail of a guide for the movable platform in height;
- Fig. 6 shows a plan view of the platform with associated means for positioning in height and for blocking.
- 11 roughly indicates part of a craft with a platform 12 from which a well 13 rises formed by a pair of opposite walls with a possible access opening 14 and a couple of facing walls each supporting vertical guide means 15.
- a platform 16 is assembled in said well which slides in the guides and is movable in height, in parallel, between a lowered and raised position.
- the platform 16 forms a standing area 16' for the pilot and contains a dashboard 17 with the navigation control instruments 18, a rudder command unit 19, plus a cockpit 20 with one or more seats.
- the platform 16 For its movements in height sliding in the vertical guides 15 (Figs. 2 and 3), the platform 16 is connected to lifting actuators 21 , which can be hydraulic cylinders with several stages, fed by an hydraulic circuit - not represented - which can be controlled according to requirements by the pilot by means of a controller.
- lifting actuators 21 can be hydraulic cylinders with several stages, fed by an hydraulic circuit - not represented - which can be controlled according to requirements by the pilot by means of a controller.
- the platform 16 is furthermore equipped with blocking devices 22 to stop it at different levels between the extreme lowered and raised positions.
- These blocking devices 22 can be made up of hydraulic bolts conveniently fed in the same way as the lift actuators and designed to engage at different levels with the lateral walls of the well Fig. 6.
- the piloting equipment described above has variable positioning at least in height to enable the pilot to find the best position as regards to the horizon, regardless of his stature, for maximum external visibility. And this is both when starting with the craft still not moving and then during all the manoeuvring and navigating phases, without the pilot having to move and change position, as he always has the command and control devices within correct and easy reach.
