Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates in general to an improved thwart for a canoe and, more particularly, to an improved thwart for holding a container.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- It is known in the art to provide beverage holders or the like which releasably couple to a thwart, gunwale or other part of a canoe to hold a beverage container while the canoe is in use. One drawback associated with such releasable beverage holders is the risk of damage associated with such beverage holders when the canoe is being transported, or in the event the canoe becomes capsized. Another problem associated with such prior art beverage holders is that they are often in the way, especially given the cramped quarters typically associated with canoes. If the beverage holders are placed close enough to the user to allow easy access to the beverage, the beverage container is often damaged or dislodged by the user while the user is engaged in directing or motivating the canoe. While the beverage container may be positioned away from the user, such placement eliminates the easy access to the beverage desired by the user. Additionally, such placement does not eliminate damage or dislodgement associated with portaging or capsizing the canoe.
- It would also be desirable to provide for unobtrusive retaining of other containers, such as bags or the like for holding empty beverage containers, trash, maps, food, emergency equipment, or the like. Prior art beverage holders are typically too small to accommodate such additional items, and placement of a container of such items on the floor of the canoe does not protect the items from water damage and/or loss associated with portaging or capsizing.
- Therefore, it would be desirable to provide a system for releasably engaging a container in a manner which keeps the container off of the floor of the canoe, within reach of the user, but out of interference with the user. It would also be desirable to provide a system for retaining a container which is resistant to damage and loss during portaging and capsizing the canoe.
- The difficulties encountered in the prior art discussed hereinabove are substantially eliminated by the present invention.
- In an advantage provided by this invention, a canoe with an improved thwart is provided which allows for retaining of a container off the floor of a canoe.
- Advantageously, this invention provides a canoe with an improved thwart which allows for retaining of a container out of the way of a user.
- Advantageously, this invention provides a canoe with a container retaining thwart which is resistant to damage and loss during portaging and capsizing of the canoe.
- Advantageously, this invention provides a canoe with a container retaining thwart which is of a low cost and simple manufacture.
- Advantageously, this invention provides a canoe with a container retaining thwart which is lightweight.
- Advantageously, this invention provides a canoe with a container retaining thwart which is easy to maintain.
- Advantageously, in the preferred example of this invention, a canoe is provided with a thwart assembly having a first arm and a second arm, and means for transferring tension from the first arm to the second arm. Means are also provided for retaining a container at least partially within the transferring means. Preferably, the first arm and second arm are coupled to a frame which defines an opening for releasably retaining the container.
- The present invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
-
