Abstract
Two watercraft are connected together using a hinge system. A knuckle in one watercraft is placed in a corresponding space therefore in a second watercraft. Similarly, a buttress in the second watercraft is placed in a corresponding space in the first watercraft. An axle is placed within the buttresses as well as within the knuckle to attach the hinge device to attach the two watercraft together. This axle is also attached to a rear transom and to a forward bow connector. A second axle adds further rigidity to the system as it attached through a first watercraft passageway to both the transom and to the bow connector.
Claims20
A separable boat system comprising:
- a first boat removably attached to
- a second boat;
- wherein the first boat and the second boat are removably attached side by side through a separable hinge instead of front to back or back to front of a first boat to a second boat;
- such that the separable hinge is held together using a first axle within a first shaft in a body of the first boat;
- wherein the first boat and second boat have a unified first floatation operational mode such that the position of the second boat with respect to the first boat is immovable when attached together;
- and a dual boat second floatation operational mode when separated from each other.
A separable boat comprising:
- a first boat removably attached to
- a second boat having
- a first wing extending from the first boat to the second boat;
- a second wing extending from the second boat to the first boat;
- a knuckle integral with a first wing of the first boat;
- a buttress integral with and underneath a second wing integral with the second boat;
- wherein the knuckle and the buttress are attached together using an axle therethrough that also attaches to a transom and to a bow connector.
A dual ship apparatus comprising:
- a first ship attached to
- a second ship through
- a separable hinge attachment wherein the first ship and the second ship form a single rigid navigable integral main ship when rigidly attached together through the separable hinge attachment such that the position of the second ship with respect to the first ship is immovable;
- wherein the first ship and the second ship form two separate ships when the separable hinge attachment is separated into a first component and a second component such that the first component is integral with the first ship and the second component is integral with the second ship;
- and
- such that the first component and the second component are held together with a first axle through the first component and through the second component.
A divisible boating system comprising:
- a first watercraft connected through
- a separable hinge to
- a second watercraft;
- a first wing integral with the first watercraft extending from the first watercraft to the second watercraft wherein the first wing has an integral knuckle;
- a second wing integral with the second watercraft extending from the second watercraft to the first watercraft;
- a buttress integral with the second watercraft;
- wherein the separable hinge is a knuckle and the buttress attached together using an axle therethrough.
