Description

Aft platform with opening for entertainment

technical field

The present invention belongs to the field of mechanical and nautical engineering and construction, and more specifically, to the field of vessels, tanks, swimming pools, bathtubs, etc. intended to be used on board ships.

The invention relates to a stern platform equipped with an entertainment opening, comprising at least one door provided with at least one removable and/or foldable element forming a backrest and/or headrest and / or supporting means and / or sealing barriers, in the form of open, partially open or closed containers, entertainment openings are also equipped with bottom supports and / or footrests to support the feet.

Background technique

Whether submersible or not, stern platforms are used extensively on boats for a variety of purposes, including to aid in entering and exiting water, to form a small platform for bathing, to use cooking utensils, to aid in launching, to collect or lift accessories, to enable water tanks and even Other smaller boat diving and other applications.

Since swimming pools and other entertainment and leisure elements are also popular on board boats, especially on speedboats, yachts, etc., there are various devices and systems forming containers that will be filled with water.

These devices may be expandable or fixed, but they are always part of an add-on device that either requires relatively high assembly difficulty and/or requires complex moving and concealing systems.

Furthermore, the aforementioned devices are almost always provided with a backrest or support and even furniture in order to provide the user with a little more comfort when entertaining.

An example of a solution of this nature is described, for example, by patent document BR112017027857 entitled "Boat with movable stern hatch with submersible stern platform", which, according to the abstract, discloses a ship comprising A hull provided with a rear stern hatch positioned correspondingly to the stern interior compartment of said hull, adapted to open and close a corresponding opening of said compartment, said hatch having a The body on the opposite side is positioned corresponding to the side walls, upper and lower edges of the compartment, and the hull has a movable and submersible stern platform. The hatch is not provided with a direct connection to the hull, but is connected to the stern platform so that after opening, when said platform is submerged in said water, it reaches a submerged position in the water in which the boat is located.

The solution proposed by BR112017027857 is ingenious and interesting, as it provides a submersible bow platform with direct access to the interior of the boat; however, it does not provide a platform with additional entertainment options, such as openings with doors, and neither The backrest also has no bottom support to support the feet.

Another related prior art document is the patent document US7162969 which discloses a platform located at the stern of the hull and which can be lowered into the water by a motor drive using guides on an incline, which discloses allowing a swimmer to climb out of the water Steps to the main deck. This solution, although ingenious, also does not provide for openings with doors to allow leisure and entertainment on the deck.

US2018/0354589 discloses a swim platform for attachment to a boat comprising a rearwardly tapering inflatable body comprising a top surface capable of supporting a standing person, comprising a front wall, a rear wall and a front wall and the outer perimeter of the port sidewall extending between the rear wall. This swimming platform can be left in the water when the boat is moving. This proposal provides an entertainment option; however, it is on the outside of the boat, requires some effort to use it, and even when deflated it still occupies a considerable amount of space on board.

Patent document EP0253745 relates to an attached service system connected to a ship, having a floating part comprising a platform element, which is horizontal in the working position, mounted on buoys hinged to the platform element, so as to avoid the effects of sea movements The lower part is relatively movable with respect to the platform element, which is connected to the vessel by means of linkages forming at least one articulated parallelogram in a vertical plane. This solution is especially suitable for swimming pools or transfer platforms, but it has the same disadvantages as the above solutions, in particular it takes up valuable space on board and involves complex and expensive articulation and drive systems.

From the preceding description it can be deduced that there is room for an aft platform equipped with an entertainment opening capable of overcoming the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, in particular providing an entertainment opening with at least one hatch provided with At least one removable and/or foldable element, wherein the removable and/or foldable element forms a backrest and/or a headrest and/or a support and/or a sealing barrier in the form of an open, partially open or Closed containers, recreational openings are also equipped with bottom supports and/or footrests to support the feet.

Contents of the invention

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a stern platform according to the features of independent claim 1 of the appended claims.

Additional features and details of these features are defined by claims 2 to 7 of the appended claims.
