Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dinghy, particularly of the type known as tender, for pleasure sailboats and the like.
  • tender which is generally constituted by an inflatable boat with an outboard motor.
  • the tender is removed from the locker, inflated, equipped with the motor and the onboard equipment and launched from the boat.
  • One alternative solution keeps the tender inflated and secured on the deck and optionally also equipped with the motor and with the onboard equipment.
  • the tender on the deck hinders navigation maneuvers that require the crew to work on the deck.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a dinghy, particularly of the type known as tender, for pleasure sailboats and the like, which fulfills the need of safe operation and easiness, allowing to launch or haul a dinghy simply and quickly.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a dinghy that allows its safe fitting to watercraft.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a dinghy that can be fixed easily and effectively to watercraft that are equipped with it.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a dinghy that is simple and easy to use and can be manufactured with relatively low costs.
  • a dinghy particularly of the type known as tender, for pleasure sailboats and the like, characterized in that it comprises a dinghy body equipped with a first joint part, there being also
  • the reference numeral 10 generally designates a structure of a dinghy 11, particularly of the type known as tender, for pleasure sailboats and the like, which has a particularity in that it comprises a dinghy body 12 equipped with a first joint part 13, there being also
  • Such joint parts when connected by way of the connecting means 16, compose a joint 17 that connects the dinghy 11 to the watercraft 15.
  • the joint 17 is adapted to allow at least one launching configuration and one hauling configuration of the dinghy 11 with respect to the watercraft 15.
  • launching configuration is used to reference a configuration of the dinghy 11 with respect to the watercraft 15, when the latter is being used, in which the dinghy 11 floats on the sea, lake or river adjacent to the watercraft 15.
  • the expression "hauling configuration” is used to reference a configuration in which the dinghy 11 is retracted toward the watercraft 15 and is supported thereon.
  • the dinghy body 12 comprises a transom 18 that is jointly connected to two arms 19 that protrude abaft, and at the same time the first joint part 13 comprises a pivot 20 that mutually connects the free ends 21 of the arms 19.
  • the second joint part 14 comprises forks 22 for accommodating the pivot 20.
  • the arms are advantageously extensible and retractable, for example telescopically, in order to adapt to the contingent relative space occupations of the watercraft and of the dinghy.
  • a first axis A for the pivoting of the dinghy 11 to the watercraft 15 is formed by the axis of the pivot 20, which is inserted rotatably in the forks 22.
  • the connecting means 16 conveniently comprise hooks 23 for locking the pivot 20 inserted in the forks 22, conveniently associated with the second joint part 14.
  • transom 18 and the arms 19 are conveniently a single monolithic body.
  • the dinghy body 12 preferably comprises a keel which is monolithic with the transom 18 and the arms 19.
  • the second joint part 14 also comprises advantageously a fixed support 24 for a movable support 25, which is jointly connected to the forks 22 and is pivoted to the fixed support 24 along a second pivoting axis B, which is substantially perpendicular to the first pivoting axis A.
  • the hooks 23 are supported by the movable support 25.
  • the dinghy 11 in the hauling configuration can be rotated about the second pivoting axis B, for example to allow to extend easily from the stem of the watercraft 15 a gangboard for disembarking from the watercraft 15, which is not shown in the accompanying figures.
  • the hauling and launching means 26 conveniently comprise a line 27, which is associated with the stem 28 of the dinghy 11, and there are means 29, conveniently a sheave, for guiding the line 27 which are connected to a backstay 30.
  • one or more containers 31 for the onboard equipment of the dinghy 11 are further provided which are jointly connected to the dinghy body 12, so that when it is launched it is ready for navigation without having to be equipped further.
  • the dinghy 11 When the dinghy 11 is hauled on board the watercraft 15, it is articulated thereto by way of the joint 17, so that it can be turned about the first pivoting axis A for launching and about the second pivoting axis B, for example to facilitate the arrangement, in its vicinity, of a gangboard for disembarking from the watercraft 15.
  • the operator loosens the line 27, freeing the dinghy 11 from the backstay 30 to which the dinghy is pulled by such line in the hauling configuration.
  • the dinghy 11 rotates about the first pivoting axis A by gravity or by the action of the operator until it arranges itself so that it floats in the launching configuration.
  • the dinghy 11 is arranged stem to stem with respect to the watercraft 15, so as to place the first joint part 13 adjacent to the second joint part 14.
  • the operator inserts the pivot 20 in the forks 22, then locks it with the hooks 23, thus composing the joint 17.
  • the invention achieves the intended aim and objects, providing a dinghy, particularly of the type known as tender, for pleasure sailboats and the like, which allows to launch or haul a dinghy simply and quickly.
  • a dinghy having a structure according to the invention is, during navigation, jointly fixed to the watercraft that carries it, to the advantage of safe navigation.
  • a dinghy according to the invention can be fixed easily and effectively to the watercraft that are equipped with it, thanks to the simplicity of use and the structural rigidity of the joint that connects them.
  • a dinghy that has a structure according to the invention allows rapid evacuation of the watercraft, in case of emergency, since it is simple and quick to haul and is already equipped for navigation.
  • the materials used may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
