Abstract
An oar mounting for an inflatable boat comprises an annular rowlock 2 which can be inserted into a holder 1 attached to an inflatable boat (not shown) and an oar sleeve 3 attached to the oar. The sleeve 3 has a peripheral flange 3' which abuts the rowlock to limit outboard movement of the oar and an aperture 3'' for receiving a pin which locks it to the rowlock. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Oar guide for an inflatable boat.
This invention relates to an oar guide for an inflatable boat.
A link-pin which is inserted into a holder
attached to the inflatable boat is usually attached to an oar of an inflatable boat. In this manner, the
oar can be moved around the said link-pin both
horizontally and vertically, as is necessary for the
oar movements, but the oar cannot be moved
along its own longitudinal axis. This is a
disadvantage if the boat is to be rowed in a
confined space or when stationary for example
when rowing a boat into a crowded harbour,
where it would be advantageous to row with oars
which are shorter or are withdrawn longitudinally.
According to the present invention we provide
an oar guide for an inflatable boat, comprising a
circular rowlock which can be inserted into a
holder attached to an inflatable boat and can be
rotated therein, and an extended guide sleeve
attached to the oar.
Reference is now made to the accompanying
drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a schematic view of an oar-passed
through a rowlock by means of a sleeve, the
rowlock being inserted in a holder attached to the
boat;
Figure 2 is a part view of the oar with the guide
sleeve;
Figure 3 is a section through the holder
attached to the boat, with the rowlock inserted
therein;
Figure 4 is a plan view of the holder of Figure 3,
without the rowlock.
A holder 1 for an oar guide is attached to each
side section Cg of an inflatable boat. The oar guide
consists on the one hand of the rowlock 2 and on
the other hand of an extended guide sleeve 3
attached to the oar 4. The oar consists, in a known
manner, of two sections 4', 4", which can be
connected to one another or taken apart at 4"'. In
Figures 1 and 2, section 4' bears the grip at the
left-hand end (not shown) and section 4" bears
the blade of the oar at the right-hand end (not
shown). An extended guide sleeve 3 which is
manufactured, for example, from neoprene, has a
slightly conical shape and a reinforcement 3'
encircling the end facing the grip of the oar, is
attached to section 4'.
The peg of a rowlock 2 is inserted into the
opening 1 of the holder 1 and is secured therein,
against falling out, by means of a pin which is
inserted in an opening 1" (see Figure 4) at the side
and engages in a circular groove 2" in the peg of
the rowlock so that this can still be rotated. The
ring of the rowlock 2 has an opening 2', the
purpose of which is explained below.
In order to insert the oar 4 into the rowlock 2,
the two sections 4', 4" must be taken apart,
section 4' must then be inserted into the rowlock
ring from the left (in Figure 1) and finally the two
oar sections 4', 4e must again be connected to
one another at 4"'. The guide sleeve 3 is now in
the rowlock ring 2, which permits and accepts the
horizontal and vertical movements of the oar. In
addition, however, the oar can also be withdrawn
longitudinally inside the boat, whilst longitudinal
shifting of the oar towards the outside is
prevented by the circular reinforcement 3' of the
sleeve. In the stationary position, the oar 1,
together with the rowlock 2, can be rotated
around the axis of the rowlock peg, so that the oar
comes to rest parallel to the side section Cg of the
inflatable boat.In this position, after appropriately
shifting the oar so that the hole 3" in the sleeve
coincides with the hole 2' in the rowlock, a pin can
be inserted into these holes in order to hold the
oar in this stationary position.
When the boat is not in use, the oar can be
removed, together with the rowlock, without
danger of losing the rowlock, since this can fall out
neither to the left nor to the right.
1. An oar guide for an inflatable boat, comprising a circular rowlock which can be
inserted into a holder attached to an inflatable boat and can be rotated therein, and an extended guide sleeve attached to the oar.
2. An oar guide according to Claim 1, in which the extended guide sleeve attached to the oar has a ring-shaped reinforcement at the end facing the oar grip, so that the oar can be moved longitudinally towards the inside of the boat nut not away from the boat.
3. An oar guide according to Claims 1 or 2 in which the circular rowlock, after it has been taken out of the holder, remains connected to the oar.
4. An oar guide for an inflatable boat substantially as herein described with reference to and as shown in the accompanying drawings.
