Abstract
A self-sufficient launch device mounted to the body of a water vehicle that applies a pressing force to a surface to launch the vehicle into the water, comprising at least two force creating devices adapted to create the pressing motion required to launch the vehicle, an extendable and retractable rod that extends towards the surface upon activation, a contact pad connected to the rod that interacts with, and applies force directly to, the surface on which the vehicle is located, a power supply that enables the movement of the at least two force creating devices, and a control system adapted for remote operation of the device.
Claims12
A self-sufficient vehicle launch device mounted to a water vehicle, the device applying a pressing force to a surface to propel the vehicle in the opposite direction, the vehicle launch device comprising:
- a) at least two force creating devices, each force creating device adapted to be mounted directly to the water vehicle, each force creating device adapted to provide a pressing motion against the surface that propels the vehicle in the opposite direction of the movement of each force creating device;
- b) an extendable and retractable rod operatively attached to the at least two force creating devices, the rod extending toward the surface upon activation of the force creating devices, the rod retracting while not in use;
- c) a flexible contact pad connected to a free end of the rod, the contact pad adapted to interact with, and apply force directly to, the surface upon which the water vehicle is located to propel the vehicle upon the extension of the rod;
- d) a power supply source operatively connected to at least one of said two force creating devices;
- and
- e) a control system operatively connected to the power supply source, the control system being remotely operable to power the at least two force creating devices.
