DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a boat and its accommodation solutions.
The object of the invention is to make available in the boat interior accommodation spaces in greater abundance than is normal, without having to increase the boat's outer dimensions.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
At present one is often compelled to end up with comparatively cramped solutions in the building of interior accommodation space, for instance in the manufacturing of sailboats and motorboats intended for family use. This has in fact the consequence that one must often, when entering the interior accommodations or within them, bow down or crawl, which detracts greatly from the comfort of boating. With a view to improving the comfort of boating, boat enthusiasts and boatmakers endeavour to build boats having the greatest possible amount of interior accommodation space.
Those solutions aim towards optimum use of the space in the boat which provide a separate stern, or long, cabin and where the attempt has been made to utilize the interior spaces of the boat with maximum sensibility. These design solutions may be considered, in the first place, to be interior fitting solutions for fixed spaces and which reduce in equivalent degree the outside spaces of the boat in the case of the sitting well (as cock-pit in sailboats).
Ample interior spaces are also aimed at in so-called family boats, where a lengthened, fixed cabin structure has been used and thereby comparatively much bunk space has been gained, but this has resulted either in great length of the boat or in a small open accommodation space.
Also such boats are known in the art which have an extensible roof portion, whereby the roofed-over space of the boat can be enlarged. Such boats have been disclosed in the U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,947,277 and 3,165,762, and in the British Pat. No. 612,214. In the U.S. Pat. No. 3,370,308 a boat is disclosed where merely the location of the roof is shifted to the bow or stern part of the boat but without thereby increasing the roofed-over volume.
Owing to the dearth of fuels and lubricants attendant on the crude oil price increase and the general increase in price of raw materials, it is not desirable to increase the size of boats, while at the same time the maximum of space is desired. One should further in boat-building be minded of the fact that no concessions of safety are conceivable.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
With the boat of the invention, the advantages mentioned are gained. The structural part of the boat of the invention with cabin and outer accommodation space which comprises a roof part and which structural part is intended to be shifted in the longitudinal direction of the boat in order to change the ratio between interior and open accommodation space, is characterized by the features stated in the characteristic clause of claim 1. The features which are characteristic of a boat fitted with a structural part according to the invention have been stated in the characteristic clause of claim 3.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The invention is described in greater detail in the following with the aid of examples, with reference to the figures of the attached drawings, where the structures have been schematically presented.
FIG. 1 presents, in elevational view and longitudinally sectioned, a boat according to the invention, with the sliding, movable part located over the cabin in the "day" position.
FIG. 2 presents, in elevational view and longitudinally sectioned, the same boat, with the sliding, movable part located over the open accommodation space, in the "night" position.
FIG. 3 presents, viewed from above, a sailboat according to the invention, with the cabin in the "day" position.
FIG. 4 presents, viewed from above, a sailboat according to the invention, with the cabin in the "night" position.
FIG. 5 presents, viewed obliquely from above, a sailboat according to the invention, with the cabin in the "night" position.
FIG. 6 presents, viewed obliquely from above, a sailboat according to the invention,
