Abstract:
A sailing watercraft, comprises a hull (2), a mainmast (4) mounted on the hull (2) and movable over a predetermined arc around a first articulation axis (X- X) parallel to a longitudinal axis of the hull (2), a sail (11) hinged on one end (8) of the mainmast (2) around a second articulation axis (Y-Y) parallel to the first articulation axis (X-X), manoeuvring means (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23, 25, 26, 27, 29) operatively connected to the mainmast (4) to move it around the first articulation axis (X-X), connecting means (9, 12) between the mainmast (4) and the sail (11) of such a nature that corresponding to each angular position of the mainmast (4) around the first articulation axis (X- X) there is a unique angular position of the sail (11) around the second articulation axis (Y-Y), and that the inclination of the mainmast (4) relative to a mid-line plane (P) of the hull (2) is always opposite to the inclination of the sail (11).
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing vehicles, comprising at least the steps of: providing a first shaped panel (6, 20) made of plastic material; providing a second shaped panel (9, 21); coupling the first shaped panel (6, 20) to the second shaped panel (9, 21) so as to define a structural element (2, 3, 4, 5, 27, 30) of the vehicle (1), in which a hollow space (15) is confined between the first shaped panel (6, 20) and the second shaped panel (9, 21); before or during coupling, arranging conductive tracks (16) in the hollow space (15), which conductive tracks (16) define at least part of an electrical equipment of the vehicle (1); filling the hollow space with polyurethane (18).
Abstract:
There is described a manufacturing method of motor vehicles which achieves the object of reducing the costs deriving from the manufacturing of vehicles belonging to different segments and the costs deriving from the traditional assembly of vehicles which starts from the external shell onto which the elements forming the interiors and the mechanical members are assembled, by suggesting the arrangement of a single self-supporting structural element formed by composite material, already provided with many interior elements, to which a new other interior elements, bodywork elements and mechanical elements can be connected in any assembly order.
