Abstract
A water bicycle comprising two relatively parallel, elongated floating bodies and a frame supported by said floating bodies provided with a seat whereby each of the floating bodies is provided with a frame part supported by the associated floating body and a spacing member is releasably arranged between the two frame parts for maintaining the frame parts at a given distance from the other and the floating bodies connected therewith, the seat being supported by an auxiliary frame provided with two guides cooperating with guides forming part of the frame parts on the floating bodies so that in the longitudinal direction of the floating bodies the guide parts are slidable over or in one another, while bolt are provided for fixing the guides in a desired position relative to one another.
Claims8
A water bicycle comprising:
- two relatively parallel, elongate floating bodies;
- a frame supported by said floating bodies such that each of the floating bodies is provided with a frame part supported by the associated floating body and each frame part includes a first guide for receiving a second guide;
- a spacing member releasably arranged between the two frame parts for maintaining the frame parts and the floating bodies connected thereto at a given distance from one another, wherein each frame part arranged on a floating body is provided with two hollow frame beams at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the floating body and the spacing member is provided with spacer frame beams extending in line with said hollow frame beams, the ends of said spacer frame beams being thinner than the center portions of said spacer frame beams, the thinner ends of said spacer frame beams being inserted into corresponding ends of said hollow frame beams;
- a seat being supported by an auxiliary frame provided with two second guides for cooperating with the two first guides forming part of the frame parts on the floating bodies so that in the longitudinal direction of the floating bodies the second guides are secured to but slidable relative to the first guides;
- and
- means for fixing the second guides in a desired position relative to the first guides;
- wherein said auxiliary frame holds said two relatively parallel elongated floating bodies to be no more than said given distance apart when said second guides are fixed relative to said first guides.
A water bicycle comprising:
- two relatively parallel, elongated floating bodies;
- a frame supported by said floating bodies such that each of the floating bodies is provided with a frame part supported by the associated floating body and each frame part includes a first guide for receiving a second guide;
- at least one spacing member releasably arranged between the two frame parts for maintaining the frame parts and the floating bodies connected thereto at a given distance from one another;
- two seats arranged side by side each on an auxiliary frame, each said auxiliary frame being provided with two second guides one of which cooperates with a corresponding one of the two first guides forming part of the frame parts on the floating bodies so that in the longitudinal direction of the floating bodies the second guides are secured to but slidable relative to the first guides, each seat being coupled with the aid of one of the second guides forming part of the auxiliary frame of the associated seat with one of the first guides forming part of the frame part arranged on one of the two floating bodies, while the other second guide of the auxiliary frame of the associated seat is placed in a corresponding one of two third guides arranged on a further spacing member located between spacing members joining the frame parts arranged on the two floating bodies, wherein the frame parts arranged on the floats and the various spacing members comprise components slidable into one another in a direction transverse of the longitudinal direction of the floats;
- means for fixing the second guides in a desired longitudinal position relative to the first and third guides;
- wherein said auxiliary frame holds said two relatively parallel elongated floating bodies to be no more than said given distance apart when said second guides are fixed relative to said first and third guides.
