ABSTRACT:
A tiller extension hinge comprising two axes of rotation (6 and 8) at right angles or substantially at right angles to each other, one (8) supporting the tiller extension (1) and the other (6) having a permanent position relative to the tiller (4) and having an orientation considerably deviating from vertical, i.e. being substantially horizontal. If required, the axis (6) may be placed entirely in a horizontal plane and, if required, in a vertical plane through the tiller (4). The orientation of the axes of rotation will ensure that the tiller extension hinge does not unintentionally block the movement of the tiller extension (1) and that the position of the tiller (4) may be adjusted without difficulty in cases as well, when the tiller (1) is situated in or nearly in continuation of the tiller (4).
