Problems solved by technology

In fact there's no known prior art watercycle that includes a seat that's adjustable horizontally in order for riders of different sizes to conveniently reach the pedals with the feet.
Also, there's no prior art watercycle with a seat that's adjustable vertically to make it possible for a rider to obtain a desired submergence when the watercycle is floated in the water.
Although, these watercycles don't have adjustable seat for desired submergence in the water, and for the right distance to the pedals.
No runners is provided to give protection of the equipment on the ground or on the beach.

Embodiment Construction

[0021] Referring now to the drawings in greater detail, FIG. 1 shows, in exploded view, a chassis or frame 12 and a float 14 employed in the preferred embodiments of the novel watercycle. The float is generally do-nut shape, made of expanded or cellular plastic and provided with protective skin to shield from damage which may be caused by weather, rough handling and impact with hard objects. Inflatable rubber or plastic or any other selected from highly buoyant material may also be used. Underneath the front end of the float 14 is concaved (not shown) to provide sufficient room for the knees of a pedalling rider 16 like for example when the seat 17 is at higher and / or forward adjustments.

[0022] An underside bulge 18 rearward of the float (FIGS. 1 and 3) is provided. The bulge is adapted to displace additional volume of water in the rear portion and thereby will become a buoyant boaster for that portion of the watercycle. It will be apparent that most of the weight of a rider is conc...

Abstract

A watercycle having generally do-nut shape float mounted onto a frame or chassis member, and a rider's seat situated within the hollow of the float, and which can be adjusted vertically and horizontally. Adjusting the seat to its highest level will cause the seated rider to submerge up to the hip, and adjusting it to its lowest level will cause the rider to submerge up to about the chest. The seat is likewise adjustable forward and backward for convenient foot-reach to the pedals.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates generally to small watersports equipment and more particularly to a watercycle wherein portion of the body of a rider, below the head, is underwater. The novel watercycle includes propellers or paddle wheels for propulsion and is moved by working pedals. It is steered by a rudder in communication with a handlebar through a train of steering column, plurality of pulleys and actuating cord hitched onto the pulleys.THE PRIOR ART[0002] The background art seems to have a distant relevance to the present invention. In fact there's no known prior art watercycle that includes a seat that's adjustable horizontally in order for riders of different sizes to conveniently reach the pedals with the feet. Also, there's no prior art watercycle with a seat that's adjustable vertically to make it possible for a rider to obtain a desired submergence when the watercycle is floated in the water.[0003] Prior art watercycle assemblies including float, seat, pedals and ...
