Abstract
A built-up watercraft includes a body consisted of three base boards hinged together and bilaterally supported on two floats by two wings, two propeller runners bilaterally coupled to a transmission mechanism mounted on the body at the back, a rudder assembly fastened to the body below the transmission mechanism, a steering wheel assembly mounted on the body at the front and driven to adjust the direction of the rudder assembly. The three base boards of the body and the wings are folded up and formed into the shape of a case as the watercraft is not in use. Connecting tubes are made on the wings and the body for permitting a plurality of watercrafts of the same structure to be connected in series as well as in parallel by flexible connecting rods.
Claims7
A built-up watercraft comprised of a body, two wings, a transmission mechanism, a steering wheel assembly and two floats, wherein said body comprises a master base board hinged between a front auxiliary base board and a rear auxiliary base board by hinges and locked in place by locking devices, said rear auxiliary base board having a opening, which receives an idle wheel and said transmission mechanism, and a hole, which receives a rudder assembly, said front auxiliary base board having a further hole, which receives said steering wheel assembly;
- said steering wheel assembly is linked to said rudder assembly by cables for steering control;
- said transmission mechanism comprising two propeller runners disposed at two opposite sides relative to said body and driven by a power unit to propel the watercraft in water;
- said wings are bilaterally hinged to the master base board by hinges and locked on the same plane across said body by locks, each wing having an outer side fastened to either float by locking devices for permitting said body to be supported on said two floats;
- said front and rear auxiliary base boards and said two wings each having a plurality of connecting means on a respective outer side for connecting either wing or auxiliary base board of another watercraft of the same structure by flexible connecting rods.
