Description

"DOUBLE Hull PLASTIC CANOE WITH MECHANICAL AND / OR ELECTRICAL TRACTOR FLOATS"

It deals with the present patent application for an unpublished "PLASTIC DOUBLE HOUSED CANOE WITH FLOATERS AND MECHANICAL AND / OR ELECTRICAL TRACTIONER", which consists of a canoe produced by means of a double-walled hull molding, featuring side floaters. , as well as a mechanical propeller pedal, which is coupled to a dynamo that generates electricity for a solar-powered battery bank, bringing numerous operational advantages to be described throughout this report.

River communications and transport is a cultural factor in north central Brazil where river courses are conducive to the use of vessels, which is the viable means of transport due to regional hydrography, which makes land transport unfeasible.

Historically, river transport, in a more archaic manner, was performed on trees that floated on the river, hence moving to more elaborate solutions. In the north of the country is still widely used by the riverside pirogue make a trunk of tree excavated by fire. Therefore, the pirogue consisting of a canoe has become a fundamental river transport means, in order to facilitate communication between people established in this region of hydrographic abundance, as well as for trade.

The canoes in question are generally moved by oars and in some cases by sail, taking advantage of wind power.

However, this type of solution has some drawbacks, such as the fact that it is not environmentally friendly as it is necessary to cut down trees, often centuries old. Another limiting factor is the instability, which when added to the weight, attributes a certain risk of accident during allocomotion, as well as in the manufacture of the product, especially in the fire-excavation stage.

Over time there have been numerous improvements in this type of transport, although in some of the more widespread northern regions, improvements have not yet been absorbed.

In the present state of the art, there are some patent documents that anticipate improvements made in canoes or boats, such as MU 8103027-4 which deals with a canoe made of lightweight material (fiber) thus providing lower final cost of manufacturing, in addition to using smaller volumes of wood than in the construction of traditional vessels, serving for fishing, maritime transport in bays and rivers.

Fiberglass canoes still use wood in some parts and are not very stable.

Pl 9102686-5 refers to a double-hulled, minimal-hulled watercraft for leisure and passenger and / or cargo transportation, consisting of an upper deck for accommodating passengers, two submerged hulls of sufficient volume. for the support of the vessel by joining the upper deck by longitudinal structures whose section on the water surface is minimal and whose height is sufficient to absorb the decal differences due to loading.

The above document proposes a platform superimposed on two submerged cascades which makes production more complex and not very stable, being propelled by a combustion engine. Aware of the state of the art, drawbacks, limitations and gaps, the inventor, after studies and research has created the "PLASTIC CASCODUPLO CANOE WITH FLOATS AND MECHANICAL AND / OR ELECTRIC TRACTOR" in question, manufactured by rotational molding in plastic material, preferably in the original format, where the hull has a double wall with an air-filled interface, which also optimizes buoyancy. facilitated by side floats, with extension adjustments, which if removed can be used as lifeguards such as the pilot's seat. The canoe can be powered by mechanical energy from a pedal connected to a torque multiplier and dynamo that feeds accumulative loads to the propeller electric motor. On the other hand, said batteries can be charged by solar energy through strategically placed photovoltaic plate. When using the electric motor to propel the propeller, the pedal must be disconnected from the drive by means of a decoupling device.

The claimed canoe has a number of good points, including:

• Environmentally friendly;

• Great buoyancy;

• Does not sink;

• Low weight;

• Fully recyclable.

The invention will be further explained by means of the below illustrated drawings, by way of illustration and not limitation:

The double hull plastic canoe with floaters and electric or electric motors "motif of this patent consists of a canoe (1) made of plastic material (P) by means of a double mold, which stands out for having the hull (2) in double wall (3), in addition to adjustable (a) and removable side floats (4), which can be propelled mechanically by pedal (5) connected to the propeller (6), a torque dynamo multiplier (7), which feeds accumulator batteries (9), also powered by photovoltaic solar panel (10), thereby supplying the electric motor (11) in place of pedaling (5), which must be disconnected in this situation.

More particularly, the claimed canoe (1) is made of plastic (P) by rotational molding, preferably following a conventional shape, with the hull (2) having a double wall (3), which generates an interlocking (E) filled with air, which improves the buoyancy of the canoe (1) and prevents it from sinking under extreme conditions. Another item that contributes to product safety is the transversely adjustable side floats (4) which, in addition to providing stability in navigation, can also, when removed, serve as lifeguards, such as the passenger seats (12) and seat. of pilot (13), which are made of floating material.

The actuation and movement of the canoe (1) can be either mechanical with the aid of a pedal (5) connected to the propeller (6), or electric via dynamo (8) or solar panel (10), which supply accumulative batteries (9), which supply the electric charge motor (11).

The pedal (5) is ergonomically positioned just in front of the pilot seat (13), and is interspersed with a multiplier (7), which rotates a dynamo (8), which supplies the charge-accumulating batteries (9). On the other hand, said batteries (9) may be charged by solar photovoltaic panel (10) raised relative to the canoe (1) at an angle of 90 °. In turn, the pedal (5) has a driving shaft (14) directly connected to the propeller shaft (15) (6), which enables the movement of the canoe (1) by purely mechanical means. When opting for drive via electric motor (11), the shaft (14) must be disconnected.

Finally, the navigability of the canoe (1) is controlled by a command represented by a lever (15) located laterally and near the pilot seat (13).
