BMGKET FOR OUTBOARD MOTORS. I
Application filed August 231, 1922. Serial No. 583,754.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LOUIS J. JoHNsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mishawaka, in the county of St. Joseph and 8 State of Indiana, have invented certaln new and useful Improvements in Brackets for 'Outboard Motors, of which the following is a specification. g
The invention relates to supporting no brackets for outboard motors, and has for its object to provide a bracket of this character particularly adapted for use in connection'with canoes wherein stern supporting brackets are impractical, and to pro- 116 vide a supporting bracket which ma be easily and quickly attached to a conventional form of canoe, in such a manner that an outboard motor may be supported adjacent any of the quarters of the canoe.
A further object is to provide means whereby brackets may be attached to canoes adjacent either end thereof according to the width or beam of the canoe.
A further object is to provide a supporting bracket for outboard motors, said bracket comprising a member adapted to be secured to the upper side of the canoe in a transverse position, an engine supporting pintle carried by said member and a down- W wardly extending plate pivoted on the pintle and forming means for limiting the forward movement of the downwardly extending pivoted engine casing. The plate is provided with means whereby it may be held against movement in a vertical longitudinal plane, thereby allowing the engine casing to be adjusted in a vertical position.
A further object is to provide the lower end of the pivoted plate with means where- 453? by when the engine shaft casing is rotated the shaft casing will be interlocked with the plate.
With the above and other objects in view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings, described and claimed, itbeing understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a canoe, showing the bracket applied thereto and an outboard motor supported by the bracket.
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the engine xtending transversely of the end 1 of the canoe is a plate 4, which plate adjacent its end 5 is provided with an elongated aperture 6, through which aperture a bolt 7 extends. The bolt 7 extends downwardlybetween the strips 3, and has its head 8 in engagement with the under side of said strip, thereby securely holding the plate 4 in position. The end 9 of the plate 4 is provided with outwardly extendin members 10, in which members elongate apertures 11 are disposed for the reception of the securing bolts 12, which bolts extend downwardly between the strips 3 and have their heads 13 in engagement with the under sides of the strips 3, thereby securely holding the plate 4 against movement. It will e seen that by providmg the elongated apertures 6 and 11, the plate 4 may be attached to canoes of different widths, or at various distances from the ends of the canoe, hence the plate will accommodate itself to difierent makes or difi'erent sizes of canoes. Extending upwardly from the plate 4 adjacent the end 9 thereof is a boss 14, which boss is pro vided with a horizontally disposed pintle 15, which receives the sleeve 16 carried by the vertically disposed sleeve 17 in which the vertically disposed shaft casing 18 of the outboard motor 19 is pivotally mounted. The outboard motor 19 is provided with a handle member 20, by means of which handle member the motor maybe tilted on the pintle 15 in a vertical longitudinal plane, or in a horizontal plane in the supporting sleeve 17. Mounted on the pintle 15 is a vertically disposed plate 21, which plate is movable in a vertical longitudinal plane, and may be held in any position to which it may be moved by means of the bolt 22 which extends through the arcuate slot 23, and into the boss 24 carried by one of the extensions 10 of the plate 4:. It may be also additionally held against movement by the bolt-[25 which extends through the spaced ears 26 of the sleeve 27 formed integral with the plate 21. It will be seen that the plate 21 may be easily and quickly adjusted and held in various positions in a vertical longitudinal plane.
The lower end of the plate 21 is provided with a segmentally shaped member 28, which member engages the sleeve 29 and limits the movement of the sleeve 29 and consequently of the engine shaft casing 18 in the direction of the arrow a under the driving force of the engine propeller, not
shown. It will be seen that the plate 21 may be easily and quickly adjusted for preventing the shaft casing 18 from moving beyond a vertical position as shown in Figure 1, and the plate 21 may be adjusted according to the inclination of the nwales for limiting the movement of the s aft casing 18 in the direction of the arrow (1 to a vertical position. The segmentally shaped member 28 is provided with horizontally disposed segmentally shaped flanges 30, over which flan es the segmentally shaped flanges 31, carrier? by the sleeve 29 engage, when the motor 19 is reversed in its position to the position shown in Figure 1, as when backing, thereby preventing pivotal movement of the motor as a whole on the pintle 15 during a backing operation. When the motor is in the position shown in Figure 1,
and the flanges 30 and 31 are out of enga ement, as for instance, when ropelling t e boat forwardly, it is obvious t at the operator may tilt the engine as a whole on the pintle 15 for raising the propeller from the water, as for instance when going over shallow places or avoiding obstructions.
The invention having been set forth what is claimed as new and useful is 1. A supporting bracket for an outboard motor, said bracket comprising a member adapted to be secured transversely to a boat and extending beyond the side of the boat, a vertically disposed plate carried by the member and extending downwardly in a vertical longitudinal plane, means for holding said vertically disposed plate in various positions in a vertical longitudinal plane, an outboard motor pivotally supported on the bracket and movable in a vertical longitudinal plane, and means carried by the plate and cooperating with the motor for limiting the movement of the motor.
2. The combination with an outboard motor and a boat, of a transversely disposed bracket for supporting said motor, said bracket comprising a member secured to the boat and extending beyond one side thereof, a plate carried by said member and movable in a vertical longitudinal plane, means for holding said plate in various positions,
means for pivotally supporting the motor on the bracket adjacent said plate, and means carried by saidplate and cooperating with the motor for limiting the pivotal movement of the motor. 4
3. The combination with an outboard motor and a boat, of a supporting bracket for said motor, said bracket comprisin a transversely disposed plate secured to t e upper side of the boat and extending beyond one side thereof, a plate carried by said first named plate and adjustable in a vertical longitudinal plane at substantially a ri ht an-- gle to the first named late, means or supporting the motor ad acent the adjustable plate, and means carried by the adjustable plate and cooperating with the motor for preventing movement thereof.
1. A supporting bracket for supporting an outboard motor adjacent one side of a boat, said bracket comprising a transversely disposed plate secured to the upper side of the boat at opposite sides thereof, an outwardly extending pintle carried by one end of the plate, a vertically disposed plate disposed in a plane at a right angle to the bracket mounted on the pintle, means for holding said vertically disposed plate in various longitudinal positions, and a member carried by said vertically disposed plate and cooperating with the motor for limiting the movement of the motor.
5. A supporting bracket for supporting an outboard motor adjacent one side of a boat, said bracket comprising a transversely disposed plate secured to the upper side of a boat, means whereby said transversely dis-.
