Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a boat comprising a bottom bordered radially outwardly by a wall which comprises an inflatable and foldable front wall, an inflatable and foldable side wall, and a rear wall.
  • Such boats are known for example from documents FR 2 422 135 And FR 3 066 751 .
  • Such boats have the advantage, compared to a boat of the same size with a rigid hull, of being significantly lighter, and of occupying a small volume when not in use.
  • the front and side walls are inflatable and foldable, each forming a circular section tube filled with air.
  • the bottom (floor) of the boat is either foldable (in the case of an inflatable/folding boat), or rigid (in the case of a semi-rigid boat).
  • lower / "upper” are defined in relation to the vertical axis, which is perpendicular to the bottom of the boat extending in a horizontal plane in normal use of the boat. This vertical axis is perpendicular to the waterline in normal use of the boat.
  • the passengers of the boat can sit inside the boat, and/or on the front wall and the side wall.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks.
  • the invention aims to propose a boat which has additional surface suitable for being a support for receiving one or more passengers and/or one or more objects, i.e. an element.
  • the claimed boat comprises at least one inflatable and foldable longitudinal support parallel to the side wall, the support comprising an inflatable tube and a foldable upper connection which connects the tube with the upper part of the side wall, the upper connection extending longitudinally along the side wall and forming in use a flat surface capable of receiving an element.
  • the boat has a support that is able to receive a non-zero weight, for example one or more passengers or objects.
  • a non-zero weight for example one or more passengers or objects.
  • the inflatable and foldable nature of the support allows the boat to retain its initial inflatable or semi-rigid character, that is to say that the support does not contribute to the rigidity of the boat.
  • the upper connection is a flexible membrane.
  • the upper link is an inflatable part.
  • the flat surface formed in use by the upper connection is substantially horizontal.
  • the support is more suitable for serving as a support for an element, that is to say an object, an animal or a person.
  • the support is located inside and/or outside the boat relative to said side wall.
  • the support further comprises at least one lower connection which connects the flange with the side wall.
  • connection(s) between the flange and the side wall are removable such that the flange is removable relative to the side wall.
  • the bottom of the boat is foldable.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a boat comprising a bottom 10 bordered radially outwardly by a wall 20 which comprises an inflatable and foldable front wall 21, an inflatable and foldable side wall 22, and a rear wall 23.
  • the rear wall 23 is rigid.
  • the side wall 22 consists of a port side wall 22b and a starboard side wall 22a parallel to the port side wall 22b.
  • the bottom 10 can be rigid (case of a semi-rigid boat) or foldable.
  • the boat comprises an inflatable and foldable longitudinal support 30 which extends parallel to the side wall 22, the support 30 comprising a tube inflatable 33 and a foldable upper connection 31 which connects the tube 33 with the upper part of the side wall 22.
  • the upper connection 31 is thus either a membrane or an inflatable part.
  • the upper link 31 is in tension and it defines a flat surface P extending longitudinally along the side wall 22 and forming a surface capable of receiving and supporting an element 90.
  • This element 90 has a non-zero weight, and is either an object such as merchandise, a person, or an animal.
  • the surface P plays the role of a bench on which this person can sit or walk.
  • the surface P can also play the role of a stretcher.
  • the flat surface P is horizontal, or inclined relative to the horizontal.
  • the support 30 is inflatable and foldable makes it possible to keep the boat at least partly inflatable. It also makes it possible to reduce the volume and to retract the support 30 in situations where this support 30 is not used.
  • the sausage 33 has a cylindrical shape with a circular section.
  • FIG. 1 This embodiment is illustrated in figure 1 , and in figure 2 which is a partial cross section of the figure 1 and which illustrates the starboard side wall 22a and the support 30.
  • the support 30 further comprises a foldable lower connection 32 which connects the tube 33 to another part of the boat.
  • the lower connection 32 connects the sausage 33 to the lower part of the starboard side wall 22a, therefore of the side wall 22.
  • the lower connection 32 is thus either a membrane (flexible membrane) or an inflatable part.
  • the upper connection 31 connects the upper part of the sausage 33 to the upper part of the starboard side wall 22a and is under tension.
  • the lower connection 32 connects the lower part of the sausage 33 to the lower part of the starboard side wall 22a and is under tension.
  • the sausage 33 is therefore pressed and held against the starboard side wall 22a by the upper connection 31 and the lower connection 32.
  • the contact zone between the sausage 33 and the starboard side wall 22a is therefore located between the upper connection 31 and the lower connection 32.
  • the attachment between on the one hand either the upper connection 31 or the lower connection 32, and on the other hand either the flange 33 or the starboard side wall 22a is achieved by any suitable means, for example by permanent attachment (sewing, glue) or by removable attachment (Velcro strips, rope passing through eyelets distributed longitudinally on the one hand along either the upper connection 31 or the lower connection 32, and on the other hand along either the flange 33 or the starboard side wall 22a.
  • At least one of the fasteners of the upper connection 31 and at least one of the fasteners of the lower connection 32 is removable.
  • the tube 33 is removable relative to the starboard side wall 22a.
  • FIG 3 A variant of the configuration is illustrated according to the figure 2
  • the lower connection 32 is located at the contact zone between the flange 33 and the starboard side wall 22a.
  • the tube 33 may have any shape, other than cylindrical with a circular cross-section.
  • the sausage 33 is shaped so that, once inflated, it has an oblong cross-section, elongated in the vertical direction, such that the sausage 33 touches the bottom 10.
  • a lower connection 32 connects the sausage 33 to the bottom 10.
  • the flange 33 also contacts the starboard side wall 22a.
  • a lower (additional) connection 32 connects the flange 33 and the starboard side wall 22a at their contact area.
  • the upper connection 31 is an inflatable part which is shaped to, when inflated, have an oblong cross-section, elongated in the horizontal direction.
  • the upper connection 31 is fixed at one of its ends to the upper part of the starboard side wall 22a.
  • the tube 33 has for example a circular section and is fixed to the other end of the upper connection 31.
  • the lower connection 32 connects the lower part of the sausage 33 to the lower part of the starboard side wall 22a.
  • the sausage 33 is therefore pressed and held against the starboard side wall 22a by the upper connection 31 and the lower connection 32.
  • the contact zone between the sausage 33 and the starboard side wall 22a is therefore located between the upper connection 31 and the lower connection 32.
  • a lower (additional) link 32 connects the flange 33 and the starboard side wall 22a at their contact area.
  • the support 30 further comprises at least one lower connection 32 which connects the flange 33 with the side wall 22, which allows better securing of the flange 33 with the side wall 22.
  • the support 30 has been described as connected to the side wall 22 by being located in the interior space of the boat.
  • the upper link 31 and, if present, the lower link(s) 32, are then located in the interior space of the boat.
  • the sausage 33 is connected to the side wall 22 such that it is located outside the boat.
  • This embodiment is illustrated in figure 6 .
  • the support 30 is thus located outside the boat.
  • the upper connection 31 and, if present, the lower connection(s) 32 are connected to the side wall 22 as described above in the case where the support 30 is located in the interior space of the boat.
  • the difference with the cases where the support 30 is located inside the boat is that the upper link 31 and the lower link(s) 32 are connected to the outer part of the surface of the side wall 22 relative to the center of the boat, instead of being connected to the inner part of the surface of the side wall 22.
  • This configuration allows the seating area of the boat to be increased while maintaining the available interior space of the boat.
  • bracket 30 has been described as connected to the starboard side wall 22a.
  • the port side wall 22b also carries a support 30, distinct from the support 30 connected to the starboard side wall 22a.
  • the support 30 may also extend beyond the side wall 22, along the front wall 21 to the bow of the boat. In this case the support 30 may serve as a surface on which a passenger can lean to disembark and/or embark.
  • the support 30 is located inside and/or outside the boat relative to the side wall 22, and the upper connection 31 is fixed to the upper part of the side wall 22 or the upper part of the front wall 21 so as to leave the top of this upper part free.
  • this upper part is free of access and is able to support an element.
  • the boat may comprise several distinct supports 30, located inside and/or outside the boat, on the starboard side wall 22a and/or on the port side wall 22b and/or on the front wall 21.
  • These supports 30 may be, for example, any of the supports 30 described above.
