Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a frame for carrying a cover for a boat.
- Boats, and in particular pleasure boats, are used above all in pleasant weather, and in less good weather conditions the boat is not used and is exposed to poor weather conditions. In order as far as possible to prevent boats from deteriorating, all manner of protective structures have been proposed, and in winter boats are often hoisted up onto the quayside and/or placed in a shed.
- Such measures are either expensive (placing in sheds) or inadequate. The latter applies if a tarpaulin is attached around the upper side of the boat. In the event of a storm or the like, and certainly if the boat is left unsupervised for a relatively long time, a cover of this type often becomes damaged. The beating of the wind causes the cover to move and to lie more and more loosely around the boat, so that it will eventually fail.
- The object of the present invention is to provide a structure which is comparatively simple to attach around the vessel both in the water and outside the water and wherein it is possible to attach a cover wherein it can be ensured that this cover will withstand even the severest of storms undamaged. In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide a structure which can be manufactured comparatively inexpensively.
- This object is achieved by a frame for carrying a cover for a boat, which frame comprises longitudinal beams to be attached in the use position to both sides of a boat, transverse beam structures extending between opposing longitudinal beams, said transverse beam structures comprise transverse beams extending from opposing longitudinal beams, said transverse beams are joined together, wherein at least three longitudinal beams, which are hingeably connected to one another in order to form the shape of a boat, are attached to each side of the frame, and wherein the span of the transverse beam structure in proximity to the end longitudinal beams is smaller than the span of the transverse beam structure in the central longitudinal beam.
- The present invention provides a frame which is adapted as much as possible to the dimensions of the boat. This is brought about as a result of the fact that the longitudinal beams hinge with respect to one another, thus allowing the outer circumference of the boat to be followed with precision at the level of the deck or preferably somewhat lower. The use of transverse beam structures allows rigidity to be imparted to the frame. This transverse beam structure is also attached at the desired location so as to be individually matched to the vessel. In other words, both the height and the width thereof (in the use position) can vary as a function of the shape of the vessel.
- Once a frame of this type is present, it is possible in a particularly simple manner to tighten therearound a tarpaulin or other cover which does not become damaged even in the event of high wind loads and other loads (snow loads, frost and the like). Such a structure can, if the boat no longer has to be covered, easily be collapsed and stored in a compact manner. The costs associated with the structure are comparatively low and consist predominantly of the customizing of the various beams to match the circumference of the boat. Once the frame has been manufactured, it is particularly good for the service life because, in the use position, said frame is protected at all times by the cover.
- According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the transverse beams of the transverse beam structure are also hingeably connected to one another. More particularly, use is made in this case of a hinge structure which in the desired hinge position allows the angular position of the respective transverse beams to be fixed. According to one particular variation of the invention, prestress is applied. Preferably, this prestress acts in such a way that two transverse beams which stand at an acute angle and are hingeably connected to each other are driven in a direction in which said acute angle is reduced in size.
- Further sturdiness can be obtained if ridges extend between the transverse beam structures and more particularly between adjoining transverse beams, i.e. not at the location of the longitudinal beam. These ridges are preferably also hingeably attached to follow the shape of the boat as much as possible.
- According to one particular embodiment of the invention, each transverse beam structure comprises at least four transverse beams.
- According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the frame can easily be made up of wooden beams, the hinges being made of metallic material. The hinges are provided with accomodations for the beams so that once the beams have been shortened to the correct length, said beams can easily be connected to the hinges. This fastening can for example be carried out with bolts and nuts through predrilled holes in the beams. A connection of this type can be repeatedly detached and re-established. Once customized, further later adaptation is no longer possible.
- The invention also relates to a cover structure consisting of the combination of the frame described hereinbefore and some form of cover such as a tarpaulin cover, covering hood or the like. This cover can be fastened to the frame using conventional tightening means. Examples include securing means such as are used in large goods vehicles with a carrier frame and tarpaulin cover.
- The frame can be secured with respect to the boat in any conceivable manner. Thus, it is possible for the longitudinal beams to rest on the deck of the boat.
- According to an advantageous mode of the invention, the frame rests on a carrier attached to the boat. As a result, the frame, consisting of longitudinal beams and the transverse beam structure, is set apart from the boat so as to prevent damage thereto. A carrying structure of this type can comprise a metallic carrier extending around and below the boat. When the boat is in the water, a metallic carrier structure of this type will also be in the water. Preferably, the carrier structure is configured in such a way that a part of the metallic carrier extends thereabove for supporting the frame. More particularly, the transverse beam structures are supported by the metallic structure. This metallic carrier can be made up of tubes, wherein heating means can be present in the tubes to keep the boat free from frost. The material for the metallic structure can comprise steel, aluminium and the like.
- The structure consisting of the carrier and frame can for example be positioned with respect to the boat using ropes which can be fastened to the bollards which are already present on the boat. To prevent damage to the boat, it is preferable for the carrier to which the frame is attached to be located at all times a few centimetres from the local outer circumference of the boat. In conjunction with the above-described attachment of heating means, a part of the metallic carrier should be at least one centimetre under water.
- The invention will be described hereinafter in greater detail with reference to an embodiment illustrated in the drawings, in which:
-
Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a boat provided with the cover structure according to the invention; -
Fig. 2 is a cross section along line II - II inFig. 1 ; and -
Fig. 3 shows a detail of the hinge structure between two transverse beams and two ridge beams. - In
Fig. 1 , a boat to be protected is denoted in its entirety byreference numeral 1. According to the invention, this protection is provided by the attachment thereover of acover structure 2 consisting of aframe 3 over which atarpaulin 4 is tightened. - The frame consists of
longitudinal beams beams 5 and 7 are end longitudinal beams andbeam 6 is the central longitudinal beam. These longitudinal beams 5 - 7 are in all cases hingeably attached with respect to one another. Hinging is possible in the horizontal plane, so that the outer circumference of the vessel can be shaped as far as possible.Transverse beam structures - Each transverse beam structure consists in the example shown of four transverse beams.
Transverse beam structure 9 consists of two upright transverse beams oruprights 10 extending from thelongitudinal beams transverse beams 11. It will be understood that more than four transverse beams can be present to form a transverse beam structure.Transverse beam structure 8 consists of theupright beams 12 andhorizontal beams 13. Among themselves, the transverse beams are in all cases hingeably connected to one another.Transverse beam structure 9 consists in addition oftransverse beams 31 extending obliquely from the upright transverse beams. -
Ridges transverse beam structures ridges -
Fig. 2 shows a cross section along the line II - II. It may be seen from this figure that theuprights 10 rest on acarrier 17. Thiscarrier 17 is made of a metallic material such as a tube structure made up of aluminium or steel pipes which can extend below the vessel, as is indicated byconnections 20.Floats 19 are present, fastened to thecarrier 17. A specific amount of air can be accommodated therein at all times, thus allowing the structure consisting of theframe 3 and carriers lying therebelow to be brought into the desired position. Thecarrier 17 can containheating lines 18 which provide heating. These can be lines through which liquid flows or (electrical) resistance lines. This allows the circumference of the boat to be kept free from ice. -
Fig. 3 provides an example of a hinge between two transverse beams, in this case between thetransverse beams ridge 5. The beams according to the present invention are preferably made of wood while the hinge itself, which is denoted byreference numeral 22, is made of a metallic material such as (stainless or galvanized) steel. - The
hinge 22 consists of twoaccomodations 23 for securely connecting to thebeams Hinges 25 are present, between which a connectingplate 24 extends. Also connected to this connecting plate is ahinge 26 to whichridge 14 is coupled. Afurther hinge 26, to whichridge 15 is coupled, is connected to connectingplate 24 in a manner which is not shown. - A
connection 27 is fastened totransverse beams clamps 28. This connection preferably hinges. Located at the centre ofconnection 27 is apressure piece 29 with which it is possible to generate compressive stress between connectingplate 24 andconnection 27. As a result, thebeams - Corresponding hinges can be attached at other locations. Depending on requirements, a pressure piece may or may not be present and a
separate pressure plate 24 may or may not be present or a simple hinge may prove sufficient. - Hinges and beams are preferably fastened by continuous bolts which are attached in holes drilled into the beams. This allows the structure to be regularly taken apart without sturdiness decreasing during assembly. However, disassembly at a number of locations is not necessary because the simple collapsing itself allows a significantly smaller volume to be obtained. The present invention allows a frame to be constructed and dismantled respectively.
- On reading the foregoing, a person skilled in the art will immediately think of variations which lie within the scope of the claims and are obvious. It is thus possible to make the frame from different materials. The hinge structure can also be produced differently.
