Definitions

  • This invention relates to recreational devices. Specifically, it relates to a combination folding system that may be used as a camper or a boat in conjunction with a specialized trailer for storage, camping, boating and hauling.
  • a folding boat of this design may store a variety of items either loose or in packages under cover between the two shells, as will be described below. Normally, a separate, enclosed trailer would be needed. Still further, such a design may be used in an open manner to haul larger items. Thus, such a device as the present invention may offer a large amount of utility in a little amount of space.
  • the present invention provides a unique combination camper, boat, trailer system adapted for camping, boating, transportation and storage.
  • the boat aspect includes a foldable boat that can be used for multiple purposes in combination with a unique trailer and a collapsible tent arrangement.
  • a goal with various objects of the present invention is to provide a foldable camper/boat/trailer system adapted for camping, boating, transportation and storage having a somewhat rigid first shell with two sides, a bottom, and a shell end which may be connected through a connecting member to a rigid second shell having a similar arrangement, so that when the first and second shell ends abut each other, a multipurpose boat, carrier, and camper may be formed.
  • This arrangement may include a flexible weather resistant covering such as a tent that may surround the periphery of the boat when the boat is in an open position and may transform the boat into a camper.
  • This combination may be mounted temporarily or permanently on an extendable trailer such that the trailer may have extendable supports which extend when the shells are in an open position.
  • the two shells in an open position may be supported by the trailer for storage, hauling, or camping such as in combination with the tent.
  • the boat offers a unique contour on the bottom that gives it the stability described above, for security there may be a receiving station or perhaps a pair of receiving stations, each typically including a first receiver and a second receiver which may be secured by a securing element together to further decrease the risk of inadvertent folding of the shells.
  • a securing element may be a U-shaped member that may span each end and secure over each end so that the sides of the shells or ends of the shells need not be punctured and thus increase the risk of leakage.
  • the bottom of the shells may offer a taper which tapers a substantial length of the bottom away from the ends which abut each other.
  • the substantial length may be at least approximately two-thirds of the length of the boat.
  • the bottom of the boat may offer a somewhat continuous convex shape. This shape on both ends, which is atypical of boat design, is one of the features which gives the boat stability.
  • the tent described above may be adapted to collapse upon folding the shells together so that it may be stored inside the folded shells.
  • the tent may also substantially self-erect when the shelves are folded out such that the unit requires little effort for suitable placement of the tent over the open shells.
  • Figure 1 shows the foldable camper/boat/trailer system in a folded position and attached to a vehicle for towing.
  • Figure 2 shows a side view of the boat in an open position showing the taper on each shell which gives the boat stability.
  • Figure 3 shows a top view of the boat showing the receiver station.
  • Figure 4 shows a cross section of Figure 3 showing more details of the receiver station, the receivers, and a securing element, such as a U-shaped member.
  • Figure 5 shows an erected flexible weather resistant covering, such as a tent, over the shells in an open position.
  • Figure 6 shows the tent collapsing within the shells as the shells are folded to a folded position.
  • Figure 7 shows the shells in a completely folded position located on a trailer.
  • Figure 8 shows the shells partially open, located on a trailer.
  • Figure 9 shows the shells open, hauling a cargo.
  • Figure 10 shows the shells in an upright storage position with the tongue of the trailer having a reduced length such as by folding or removing.
  • Figure 11 shows yet another embodiment of a camping tent where the shells form the upper cover and a tent floor forms the bottom.
  • Figure 12 shows a top view of the shells having attachment points for a tent framework.
  • Figure 13 shows a side view of a camping tent portion of one embodiment.
  • Figure 14 shows the trailer with a pair of extendable supports extended outward and rotated downward to support the shells in an open position.
  • Figure 15 shows the system with the extendable supports inward and rotated up and out of the way behind a spare tire carrier.
  • the present invention includes a variety of components that may be used in different combinations, depending on the application that needs to be addressed.
  • the invention is designed primarily to take advantage of a combination camper/boat/trailer system which is foldable of a particular and novel design and combine and modify it as needed for a variety of shapes, sizes, and orientations, as will be explained in more detail as the figures are described. Elements, functions, and procedures that distinguish the present invention will be noted where appropriate.
  • the basic concepts of the present invention may be embodied in a variety of ways. It involves both methods and devices to accomplish the appropriate method. In this patent, the methods are disclosed as part of the results shown to be achieved by the various devices described and as steps that are inherent to utilization.
  • FIG. 1 shows the overall system in a folded condition. Its length can vary depending upon the application needed. Typically, the boat could be eight to ten feet long in a folded condition and approximately double that length in an open position.
  • the camper/boat/trailer system (1) may include a first shell (2) and a second shell (4). Each shell may be rigid and for the purpose intended will most likely be water resistant, if not water proof. Each shell may have sides (6) and (8) and bottoms (10) and (12). In the preferred embodiment, the shells may be connected by connecting member (18) such as a hinge or some other pivoting element. Naturally, other connecting members could used and in some cases a connecting member may not be actuated until the parts are assembled such as a removable pin assembly.
  • the connecting member may be a hinge assembly such that the first shell (2) may be folded open and the first shell end (14) abuts the second shell end (16) in the open position.
  • the term "abut” or “abutting” may include, in the preferred embodiment, a touching in this case of the first shell end with the second shell end. However, it is not intended to be so limited. It may include simply locating the ends or other pieces in proximity to each other such that the goals and objects of the present invention are realized.
  • the system may include the trailer (20).
  • the trailer (20) will be described in more detail below.
  • Figure 2 shows a side view of the boat (la) having a tapered bottom.
  • the first shell (2) and the second shell (4) have been arranged so that the first shell end (14) and the second shell end (16) abut each other at the abutment point (26).
  • the first shell bottom (10) has a taper (22) and may be similar to the second shell bottom (12) having a taper (24).
  • the taper may be a continuous taper from the abutment point (26) to the distal ends (11) and (13) of the shells.
  • the taper may start at least a distance of X from the distal end (in the preferred embodiment, at least two-thirds of the length L) of the shell and may continue to the distal end or at least a point above the intended water line of the boat.
  • This taper is one of the unique features of the present invention. Until this aspect was included, those with ordinary skill in the art did not realize the stability that the present invention and system provides. Because the buoyancy factor is affected by the depth of the boat, the lower the boat is in the water, the higher buoyancy it may have.
  • the natural pressure exerted by the buoyancy of the water or other fluids in which the boat is placed exerts a higher pressure toward the center than toward the distal end away from the abutment point (26).
  • This higher pressure helps maintain automatically and perhaps without even the necessity of further securing of the two shells, the stability of the boat and the inadvertent collapse of the boat.
  • users may feel much safer in such an arrangement.
  • a test result on this shape using approximately 400 pounds on either side of the abutment point (26) for a total of 800 pounds did not cause a collapse or inadvertent folding of the shells. While such a large weight may not be recommended in actual use, the test results show the inherent stability of this design not heretofore realized.
  • Figure 3 shows a top view of the boat (la) in an open position. Details such as seats (which may be removable), outboard motor mounts, and so forth are not shown, but may be included as the marketplace and manufacturing concerns dictate. Attention is drawn to the receiver station (28).
  • the inherent stability of the boat may exist as described above; however, it may be desirable to include an additional element of security. While other securing devices have been used in other inventions, the uniqueness of the present system's securing element allows for easy disassembly, typically requires no tools, and breaches no water-tight surfaces. Other systems might include a flanged assembly that could be bolted together requiring tools and the possibility of rusting and difficulty of removal or insertion. The present invention avoids those difficulties.
  • the present invention may include a receiver station (28) which may be formed from a pair of receivers (30) and (32).
  • a pair of receiver stations (28) may be useful, although in some embodiments one or more may be used.
  • Each receiver may be a female or a male.
  • the receivers may be a female arrangement such as a pipe or other elongated hollow member. This receiver may be mounted to the inside of the first and second shell ends or may be mounted at some other appropriate location.
  • the receivers could include other designs such as a male pin, or one receiver could be male and the other receiver female, and so forth.
  • Figure 4 is a cross section of Figure 3 and shows the securing element (36) above the receiver station (28) in a position to engage the receivers (30) and (32).
  • the securing element (36) may be a U-shaped member and may be a male pin, if for instance, the receiver were female.
  • variations in the securing element and particularly the U-shaped member may be made depending upon the particular configuration of the receivers (30) and (32).
  • a "U-shaped" member is meant in a functional sense and would include a variety of shapes such a V's, three-sided rectangular shapes, shapes with bent legs, and so forth, as any of these could function to span the ends of the shells (typically inside the perimeter of the boat) without breaching the water integrity.
  • Another advantage is that the U-shaped member may simply be inserted over each end in a easy and rapid manner. Such an insertion typically would include no need for tools or assembly under water, such as a flange (typically outside the perimeter of the boat) with a bolt and screw and other arrangements.
  • FIG 5 shows the boat (la) with the first shell (2) and second shell (4) in an open position where the boat (la) may be used as a camper by having a flexible weather resistant covering (38), such as a tent, over the boat (la).
  • the weather resistant covering may be a simple arrangement having a canvas, vinyl, or other material. It may be suspended by a tent frame (40) such as U-shaped bows. The tent frame may be connected to the shells by some element such as a hole or other type of attachment.
  • the flexible weather resistant covering (38) may surround the periphery (44) of the shells in an open position. Such an envelope might be advantageous for insect resistance and further rainp roofing.
  • the flexible weather covering (38) could be attached at attachment points (42) located around the periphery or at other points on the shells.
  • Figure 6 shows the shells in a folding position with the first shell (2) being folded on top of the second shell (4).
  • the flexible weather resistant covering (38) may collapse within the shells in a folding position for easy storage.
  • some minimal disassembly may be envisioned such as detaching the flexible weather resistant covering from around the periphery prior to folding the shells.
  • the tent frame (40) may need detaching from its attachment points.
  • Such minimal assembly does not preclude the use of the term "collapsing within” nor does it preclude the term "self-erecting" when the shells are folded open.
  • the reverse procedure is envisioned as a self-erecting tent procedure.
  • the self-erecting tent could be folded outward as the shells are folded to an open position such that only minimal assembly might be required, such as simply placing the tent frame in its attachment points and securing the tent about the periphery (44) of the shells.
  • Figure 7 shows the camper/boat/trailer system where the boat (la) is in a folded position on the trailer (20), similar to Figure 1. In such a position, the system can be easily transported.
  • Figure 8 shows the shells in a partially open position. In such an assembly, the shells may be used to store items, such as on a camping trip, and secure the items from becoming lost on the road as the system is transported.
  • Figure 9 shows the shells in an open position.
  • the first shell (2) has been opened and a load (45) of goods has been placed in the second shell (4) located on the trailer (20).
  • the first shell (2) may be again folded back and secured to the second shell (4).
  • it can simply be left in an open position, for instance, if the load is too large to close the shells back together.
  • Figure 10 shows the camper/boat/trailer system in an upright position. This position could be ideal for storage, such as in or behind a garage or on the side of a house.
  • the trailer (20) may also include a reduced length tongue (58).
  • the reduced length tongue (58) may be reduced in length by at least two ways. The first way is to pivot the tongue about a pivot point (56) so that the tongue may be reduced in length and folded back against the trailer body. This might be advantageous for quick disassembly.
  • the tongue could simply be pivoted back into position and secured into position by a number of methods known to those with skill in the art, such as with a quick release pin arrangement.
  • the tongue may be reduced in length by simply sliding the tongue out from the rest of the trailer frame assembly and stored nearby. Upon re-assembly, the tongue could be slid back in position and secured again, such as by some quick release pin assembly.
  • Figure 11 shows an alternative to the camping tent arrangement of Figure 5.
  • the shell assembly may be used as the top and a tent floor (48), perhaps of the same material as the flexible weather resistant covering (38).
  • a tent floor (48) perhaps of the same material as the flexible weather resistant covering (38).
  • the tent floor (48) may again attach to the periphery (44) of the shells.
  • Figure 13 shows a side view of a tent portion.
  • Figure 12 shows a top view of Figure 5 without the weather resistant covering (38).
  • it shows the attachment points (60) for the tent frame (40).
  • Such attachment points could be simply a molded hole or pin to which the tent frame (40) could attach.
  • Figures 14-15 show the camper/boat/trailer system having at least one extendable support.
  • One of the advantages of the system is that it can be easily pulled to a camping spot and quickly erected as a camper, even atop the trailer (20). In erecting such a system, additional support for the shells in an open position may be desirable as it is located on top of the trailer.
  • the extendable support (50) shows one embodiment for this additional support.
  • the extendable support (50) may be provided singly or in pairs, as shown in the preferred embodiment.
  • the leg (52) of the extendable support (50) may be rotated to a downward position to contact a supporting surface such as the ground.
  • the term "rotating" as used herein, such as on the extendable supports or upon the first shell rotating with respect to the second shell, is meant to include hingeably rotating as well as disassembling the part, orienting it toward the mating part, and then reassembly. These extendable supports may be arranged so that they telescope inward toward the primary trailer body. This aspect is shown in more detail in Figure 14.
  • Figure 14 shows the extendable support (50) telescoped inward and located underneath the trailer body in a storage position.
  • the leg (52) has been rotated upward so that the system may be transported.
  • the extendable support (50) may be secured to the frame body by a securing element (54) such as a quick release pin assembly.

  • the extendable support may be used as a launching rail for launching the boat (la) or a ramp for loading.
  • One of the advantages of this system is that it may be light weight. For instance, the system has been pulled on roads using a Honda Gold Wing motorcycle.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système repliable campeuse/bateau/remorque (1) à configuration flexible, facile à stocker et facile à assembler. Le bateau peut prendre une forme effilée pour être plus stable sur l'eau, sans risque de chavirement des coques par inadvertance (2 & 4) depuis une position ouverte (autostabilisation), et il peut comprendre un élément de fixation du type à forme en U (36) pour couvrir les extrémités des coques en butée l'une contre l'autre. Une couverture flexible résistant aux intempéries (38) du type tente montée sur le bateau en guise de campeuse peut être repliée et stockée à l'intérieur des coques. La tente peut aussi être autoextensible au montage, ou bien les coques peuvent être utilisées comme toit de la campeuse. On peut utiliser le système en combinaison avec une remorque spécialisée (20) comprenant éventuellement des supports extensibles et télescopiques (50) pouvant soutenir les coques en position ouverte et pouvant intervenir dans le montage de la campeuse sur la remorque (20).
