Abstract
Paddle assembly (11) including a pair of shaft bodies (12, 14) extending between opposed ends (16, 18, 20, 22). A first end (16, 20) of each body (12, 14) is connectable to the first end (16, 20) of the other body (12, 14) to allow rotationally positioning the bodies (12, 14) relative to each other in two or more positions. A second end (18, 22) of each body carries a paddle blade (24, 25, 26, 124). The shaft bodies (12, 14) are shaped to be connectable to each other in a first configuration (28) to form a bow-shaped shaft (30), and connectable to each other in a second configuration (32) to form an S-shaped shaft (34).
Claims22
A paddle assembly including:
- a pair of shaft bodies, each shaft body extending between opposed ends, a first end of each body being releasably connectable to the first end of the other body to allow rotationally positioning the bodies relative to each other in two positions, and a second end of each shaft body carrying a paddle blade,
- the shaft bodies being shaped to be connectable to each other in a first configuration to form a bow-shaped shaft, and connectable to each other in a second configuration to form an S-shaped shaft,
- wherein, in the first configuration, the shaft bodies are connected to each other such that the second end of each shaft body and each paddle blade is angled towards a first notional plane extending along a side of the paddle assembly, and
- wherein, in the second configuration, the shaft bodies are connected to each other such that the second end of one shaft body and the associated paddle blade is angled towards the first notional plane, and the second end of the other shaft body and the associated paddle blade is angled towards a second notional plane arranged parallel to and spaced from the first notional plane to extend along an opposed side of the paddle assembly.
