- Figure 19 is another perspective view of the embodiment of Figure 18 taken from the lower front.
- Figure 20 is an enlarged view of the pivot point and attachment to the support member.
- Figure 21 is similar to Figure 20, showing the end of the axle, with the mounting element removed.
- Figure 22 is a side view of the embodiment of Figures 18 to 21 showing the pivotally carried pedals and the connection of the cranks to the flappers.
- pedals 10 and 12 are in slidable contact with pedal cranks 14 and 16, respectively as further described hereinbelow.
- the pedal cranks 14 and 16 are operatively connected to the propulsion means which is recessed in an opening 18 in the center of the paddle board 20 or kayak 21 .
- the forward end of each of the pedals 10 and 12 are pivotally attached at 22 and 24 to the upper surface 26 of paddle board or kayak.
- the underside 28 at the rear or trailing ends 30, 32 of the pedals 10 and 12 are each adapted to make rolling contact with bearings 34 and 36 attached to the free ends of the cranks 14 and 16, respectively.
- the underside 28 of the pedals 10 and 12 can also make sliding contact with the free ends of the cranks.
- the rotatable drums 38 and 40 carry radially extending rigid masts 42 and 44, respectively.
- the masts project in a generally downwardly direction so that they always remain in the water and do not contact the underside of the hull.
- the masts support the sails or flappers 46 and 48, respectively, at their leading edges.
- Each of the sails or flappers is rotatable about its mast, so that the edge of the flapper opposite the leading edge can move from one side to the other with respect to the longitudinal center line of drums 38 and 40. This action results in both flappers exerting of forward force or push on the watercraft in both directions of transverse movement of the flappers, providing superior efficiency and speed.
- the extent of travel or movement of the trailing edges is limited by the adjustment provided by main sheet tensioners 50 and 52.
- the sail or flapper mast 42 is attached to the front of front drum 38 and second sail or flapper mast 44 is attached to the front of rear drum 40.
- the main sheet tensioner connects to its respective drum and is adjustable in its reach or length to alter the tension in each of the sails or flappers 46 and 48.
- Figures 10 to 17 show the invention applied to a kayak.
- the operator is not within a cockpit. Instead, the operator is standing or seated on a surface 60 supported by an essentially upright member or members 58.
- the operator is seated substantially above the upper extremity 66 of the hull of the kayak.
- the operator can also be seated on a paddle board.
- the fore upright 62 is angled somewhat toward the operator for convenience and comfort and the upright can be supported by brace 64.
- the fore upright can be provided with a handle bar with hand grips at each end.
- the paddle board or small boat typically a kayak, is provided with a rudder 54 which can be operated from an upright 56 fore of the user.
- the paddle board or kayak can also be provided with a second upright 58 to provide support for the operator or user while underway or at rest.
- the pedal cranks 14 and 16 are connected to chain guides 68 carried on axle 70.
- the chain guides 68 can rotate back and forth on the axle 70.
- the axle 70 is supported by the drive support member or spine 72. It is to be understood that the support member 72 may be monolithic or, alternatively, made up of several individual components which serve the same purpose.
- Drive support member or spine 72 carries longitudinal shaft 74 which carries sprockets 76.
- the longitudinal shaft also carries the rotatable drums 38 and 40, masts 42 and 44, and the respective flappers 46 and 48.
- Chains 78 connected to chain guides 68 pass over the sprockets 76 to drive the sails or flappers 46 and 48.
- the fore ends of pedals 10 and 12 are affixed to or near the fore end of the drive support member or spine 72 at pivot point 80.
- Figures 20 and 21 differ in that in Figure 20, the end of axle 70 is covered by mounting element 82 which serves to secure the propulsion means to an opening in the bottom of the watercraft.
- the structure of mounting elements for this application are well known in the art and do not form part of this invention.
- the seat is located substantially above the upper terminus of the hull.
- the operator when standing on the pedals can move his weight fore and aft significantly. Moving the weight fore and aft significantly changes the mechanical advantage in the operation of the pedals.
