Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a device has become known, for example, with the subject of DE 42 14 019.
  • DE-GM 93 12 336 Another device is known from DE-GM 93 12 336 become also on the principle of floodable and ventilated float exists.
  • All embodiments have the task in common that one a hull floating in the water out of the water wants to lift out to the hull during its Raise rest time over the waterline.
  • DE 44 26 194 has the further disadvantage that the floats on the outside of the hull should invest, which leads to a sharp increase in required width of the entire device that leads consequently corresponding space in the water consumes what is not desired.
  • the Device consists of a support frame with a bearing block Picture of the boat hull on which support frame in In the longitudinal direction laterally buoyancy bodies are arranged.
  • the buoyancy bodies can be filled with air to the Lifting and docking boat, and flooded with water to lower the docked boat again and to Approve use.
  • the floats are here for reasons of stability as far as possible from the ship or device focus arranged horizontally to avoid the risk of capsizing to prevent. So the floats are essentially arranged laterally to the boat and lie a good one Pieces outside the vertical projection of the hull outer contour.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object Develop device of the type mentioned so that the usable width of the entire device is essential is reduced, with a reliable lifting of the Hull out of the water and storing it Hull over the waterline (without risk of capsizing) should be maintained or improved and this with the same or less expensive means.
  • the invention now provides that on the side of a The keel bearing block provided for at least two Buoyancy bodies are arranged in the longitudinal direction, which Buoyancy body fixed or movable with the bearing block are connected and that the entire device adjustable in height and articulated at a connection point is and the device has sliding bearings with which it is mutually height-adjustable and independent Floatable, submersible and liftable from each other other similar devices can be coupled.
  • An essential feature of the invention is that the Buoyancy body essentially laterally in the longitudinal direction are arranged directly on the bearing block in such a way that the width the respective device essentially the width of the corresponds to the respective boat.
  • connection between the keel-bearing pedestal and the associated buoyancy bodies, which are held in their own rack is adjustable in height. This results in the essential advantage that with this height adjustability now the lifting height of the hull out of the water can be adjusted.
  • Bearing block for receiving keel boats e.g. Training sailboats
  • this bracket also for accommodating motor boats with a relatively flat keel be adjusted.
  • the bearing block is for receiving provided by hulls, especially in the Recreational area can be used, namely motor boats, Sailing boats, rowing boats, pedal boats and the like.
  • the inventive device for lateral coupling neighboring devices is formed. That is, according to the invention, several devices of the same type are used height adjustable (in the vertical direction to each other slidably) coupled to each other laterally, so that this Units swim independently in the water and are submersible and suitably liftable, but with the lateral coupling of the respective device to the neighboring device is associated with the advantage that the devices as a whole against lateral tipping are protected and the capsize security of such Device is significantly improved.
  • each Device can move vertically in the water separately, for which corresponding shift guides are provided, the e.g. can consist of appropriate roller guides, a corresponding device on one Roller arrangement is arranged, e.g. in a vertical aligned career engages in the neighboring device.
  • this height adjustment device consists in the fact that a device corresponding dovetail guide is provided, which Dovetail guide in a similarly trained Leadership of the neighboring device engages.
  • Tongue and groove devices are also provided and the like more.
  • the hull to be lifted moves into the submerged Device into it, with the supports arranged on both sides ensure that the hull is well above the submerged Bearing block is centered, and at the same time the ship can can also be attached to the supports.
  • connection point can be a web be, a buoy, a floating dock, a pole or the like more. Otherwise, it is preferred if the entire Height-adjustable device at this web or connection point is attached to a constant assignment of the To reach device to the land-based connection point.
  • This connection is preferably articulated or at least height-adjustable to ensure that the Connection to this connection point even with submerged Device is maintained.
  • the buoyancy bodies can be divided into several in a row lying chambers can be divided, with each chamber one corresponding submersible pump is assigned. That way namely also an individual flooding of segments of the Buoyancy body possible, so that also a certain Inclined position of the device submerged in water can be. In this way, the swimming position of the in Water immersed device can be set, just like also the swimming position of the later surfaced Device is set accordingly.
  • the hull is now in the winter position with its all parts in contact with water are lifted out of the water, which has the advantage that this device (as Boat garage) can remain in the water and the whole Hull receives a winter berth in the water.
  • This device has the advantage that in summer Underwater ship hull only with water is touched when the hull goes into operation during no longer during the rest of the underwater body comes into contact with the water. This will avoid that the environmentally harmful antifouling agents of Underwater ship no longer in contact with the water come and are only used if the Hull actually also for sports and recreational purposes is used.
  • Such a device can also be used for one-man operation be equipped.
  • a control cable stretched which is the width of the Device spanned. If the hull is now in the Receiving space of this device retracted, then bumps for example the bow together with this control cable, tightens this and this control cable is e.g. on in Longitudinally guided rails arranged, which then the Longitudinal bow centered over the pedestal, and at the same time, with the tightening of this control cable Pump for emptying the float switched on be, which accordingly the entire Device is brought into its raised position.
  • the buoyancy bodies mentioned are safe against ice and exist preferably made of aluminum bodies, plastic bodies, rubber-elastic bodies or thin steel bodies.
  • the remaining parts of the device preferably consist of Aluminum profiles, from iron profiles or plastic profiles.
  • Devices of this type can therefore be used in multiples in the association Arrangement form a complete plant, which now in a much easier way to create a large number of hulls is guaranteed in a port facility.
  • Another advantage of the entire device is that that winter berths in the country can now be dispensed with and be created on water, with only relatively minor Drafts for these devices are sufficient to produce a corresponding raised position of the hull to guarantee. Even if the water level in the So winter is still the buoyancy of the device guaranteed.
  • Another advantage of the device is that a substantial improvement in theft security for the Hull is given because the pumps and their electrical power supply can be permanently secured, and then it's no longer possible to get that out of the water to steal the raised hull.
  • the boat height adjustment device consists of only two, the hull receiving and at the outside distance of the largest ship width, such as on one Bridge, tubes arranged parallel to each other that pass through assigned pumps are raised and can be lowered by flooding, so that the boat located on these tubes at empty pumped pipes above the waterline all year round can lie.
  • the boat stored in this way is a few easy steps Sea-ready and the underwater ship can be lifted without a crane to be controlled.
  • This preferred boat lift can also be stolen and stolen Burglar alarm.
  • This development of the present invention also has also significant advantages for the port operator who lies in the fact that the port can also be rented in winter can and the vacant areas for winter storage profitable, especially in the port area can.
  • the service work on the boats can be done on the whole Year be distributed evenly and thus peak times, such as especially in autumn and spring.
  • the preferred boot lift system also has essentials Environmental benefits by eliminating toxic colors pollute the drinking water, no poison Grinding and washing the underwater ship on the These pipes are used for boats and also the buoy fields with this boat lift system to mooring islands can be arranged.
  • the device consists in essentially from a lower, submersible central Bearing block 1, which consists of two parallel to each other Longitudinal trusses 3, which over at certain intervals corresponding cross members 4 are connected to each other.
  • a keel support 5 is located between the longitudinal beams 3 arranged, which in the longitudinal direction between the Longitudinal truss 3 is designed to be adjustable.
  • the hull 2 is with its underwater ship and with his possibly existing keel 33 now in the bearing block 1 retracted, at the same time from the longitudinal cross members 3 to protruding, approximately vertically aligned supports 6 available are, at their free, upper ends support plates 7 for Bracket of the hull 2 are attached. It can here from the supports 6 still corresponding diagonal or Cross struts are present, which are shown in FIG. 1 extend to the cross members 4.
  • lateral Gusset plates 8 On the outside of the supports 6 are lateral Gusset plates 8 arranged, which are connected to the supports 6 are and for the attachment of appropriate buoyancy bodies 10,11 are suitable.
  • Each buoyancy body 10, 11 extends approximately over the entire length of the device and is with additional, outer Gusset plates 9 attached to side supports 12, 14.
  • buoyancy body 10,11 from can consist of a hexagonal or polygonal profile.
  • buoyancy body 10,11 also profiled round can be trained. They can also be oval, elliptical or have any other shape. Important is only that they are preferably separated from each other consist, each chamber having a corresponding pump 30 assigned.
  • connection between the bearing block 1 and the Buoyancy bodies 10, 11 are also carried out by two spaced-apart crossbeams 24, 25.
  • the front supports 14 are on the front crossmember 24 attached to which at the same time a sliding bearing 18 is arranged, on each of which a drawbar 17 is attached is.
