摘要:
A roller for a floating watercraft port or lift is generally circular in radial cross-section and defines a diameter which decreasing from an axial center of the rollers to opposite ends of the rollers; such that the rollers are variable diameter rollers. In a variation, the rollers include circumferential grooves through which watercraft chines can glide. The rollers are received in roller sockets in the watercraft port or lift. The rollers rotate about an axle in the socket, and the sockets includes axle receiving channels which receive the roller axles. The roller axles and roller socket axle channels are sized and shaped such that the roller axles can be snap fitted into the axle channel to allow for removal of the roller from the socket.

The present invention is generally directed to a floating watercraft lift capable of raising and lowering a watercraft, and more particularly to a floating watercraft lift. In one embodiment, the watercraft lift includes a pair of longitudinally extending and approximately parallel floats with an apparatus for supporting and lifting the watercraft positioned between the floats. When the watercraft lift is positioned in a lowered position, the apparatus is submerged and each of the floats is in a first orientation and partially submerged. The apparatus may then be activated to move the watercraft lift to a raised position by moving the floats downwardly and inwardly towards the watercraft, so that the floats become further submerged in the water. The buoyancy of the submerging floats thus lifts the lift apparatus and the watercraft above the water surface.

A modular and removable track placed on the ground, comprises a succession of panels, supplied with at least one longitudinal guiding, groove which allows at least one beak, tightly connected to the load to be dragged, to penetrate inside it, to interact with the series of towing elements, one for each panel, and to be guided in running along the track; each towing element being constituted of a longitudinal ring like element, stretched between two spools and furnished with dragging elements, of at least one switch and of the motor connected to one of the spools and activated/deactivated by the switch. Each panel furthermore comprises at least the ducts and for the connections of the switch to the motor and with the fluid dynamic circuit connected at the start of the track with a primary motor, through which at least one motor is activated in one of the panels of the track.

A modular and removable track placed on the ground, comprising a succession of panels (1), supplied with at least one longitudinal guiding groove (2) by means of which to allow at least one beak (3), tightly connected to the load (4) to be dragged, to penetrate inside it, to interact with the series of towing means (6), one for each panel (1), and to be guided in running along the track; each towing means (6) being constituted of a longitudinal ring like element (7), stretched between two spools (8) and (9) and furnished with dragging means (10), of at least one switch (11) and of the motor (12) connected to one of the said spools and activated/deactivated by said switch. Each panel (1) furthermore comprises at least the ducts (13) and (19) for the connections of said switch (11) to said motor (12) and with the fluid dynamic circuit (14, 15) connected at the start of the track with a primary motor, through which at least one motor (12) is activated in one of the panels (1) of the said track.

The invention includes a boat transporting arrangement (11) that utilises a frame construction with wheels related thereto and side-related pillar-like supports and one or more carrier straps or like devices disposed between said supports (11a) and adapted to hold a boat hull (B1). The frame construction is comprised of a number of individual units (11, 22) which are coupled together (31). Coupling of a first unit to a second unit affords flexural movement with a horizontal flexure line (31anull).

A third embodiment of the boat landing apparatus includes a pair of roller assemblies, a pair of cross members and a set of four retention brackets. A first embodiment of the retention bracket is a surface pivot bracket. A second embodiment of the retention bracket is a pivot support bracket. A third embodiment of the retention bracket is a cross bracket. A support post may be mounted to a bottom of a cross member with an angle bracket. Two roller assemblies may be connected in series with an in-line connector bracket. A fourth embodiment of the boat landing apparatus includes a plurality of roller axles and a pair of retention members. A fifth embodiment of the boat landing apparatus preferably includes a plurality of bracket support members, a plurality of pivot roller brackets, and a pair of lengthwise rail members.

An apparatus (10) is provided for elevating a watercraft out of a body of water and maintaining the watercraft at a predetermined elevation over the water or removing the watercraft therefrom for towage behind a vehicle. Apparatus (10) includes a forwardly elevated ramp (12) onto which the watercraft may propel itself. Also included is displaceable catch arms (36) which pivot between an engaged position and a released position. Each catch arm (36) is biased toward the engaged position and is constructed and arranged such that it is displaced to the released position when the watercraft is propelling itself up ramp (12). After the watercraft has passed an engagement member (44) attached at the distal end (40) of catch arm (36), catch arm (36) is urged toward the engaged position and engagement member (44) makes contact with the stem of the watercraft and prevents rearward motion thereby. A release mechanism (18) is operably attached to catch arm (36) and is usable from a position inside the watercraft to return catch arm (36) to the released position, thereby releasing the watercraft.
摘要:
A beach ramp system for watercrafts comprising at least one set of rails, each set including two rails. Each rail has a cross-section with aligned holes and an axle. Each rail also includes an aperture above the aligned holes with an elastomeric roller support rotatably supported on each axle and extending upwardly through the aperture to thereby constitute a watercraft support. Flanges are located at each end of each rail with openings therethrough. At least one Y-shaped post is provided with each post having an extent cemented in the ground and two upper extents attached to and supporting the rails.

The present invention relates to a novel portable lightweight boat ramp. The boat ramp is made up of two metal frame halves which open from the inside out, to form a V-shape angle matching the contour of a small boat approaching the beach area for landing. Each metal frame half is covered by a flat panel, made of strong and durable material, and each flat panel is covered in turn by a thin layer of frictionless material, so as to prevent the device from scratching the hull of the landing boat. In addition, four legs are hinged to the two metal frame halves, and are deployed to an obtuse angle with respect to the metal frame halves when the device is opened up for receiving an incoming boat for landing.

A portable boat skidway is provided by combining lengths of steel rods interconnected by flexible joints in a ladder-like array with skidding tubes of high density polymeric material which serve as "rungs". A turning pad is provided by assembling a square of rods with enveloping skidding tubes, and adding a diagonal skidding cylinder.
