Benefits of technology

This patent describes a watercraft that has improved control and stability for the person on it. It can move upward and jump, and compensates for waves. It also includes a closed-loop control system that automatically adjusts the lift force based on the distance of the watercraft from the water surface and waves. This system ensures smooth operation of the watercraft and improves safety and stability.

Problems solved by technology

In this case, a supporting function for the person is not present or even if the person wants to be supported on the handlebar, also an undesired change in the upward movement of the watercraft is thereby caused.

Embodiment Construction

[0049]FIG. 1 shows a watercraft 10 for transporting at least one person on a water surface according to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention in a spatial view.

[0050]The watercraft 10 comprises a floating body element 12, which can provide a buoyancy force of the watercraft 10. A receiving area 14 for the person can be assigned to the floating body element 12, in particular for a standing position of the person. The floating body element 12 can be designed in particular as a surfboard or as a wakeboard or as a skimboard or as a body board.

[0051]An input device 16 for causing a control instruction is provided on the watercraft 10, wherein the control instruction depends on an input movement 18 of the person. The input movement 18 can be carried out during travel with the watercraft 10. The input device 16 can have an input element 20 designed as a first rotary element, particularly preferably as a rotary handle. The input movement 18 of the person can be carried out...

Abstract

The invention relates to a watercraft for transporting at least one person on a water surface, comprising an input device for providing a control instruction, wherein the control instruction depends on an input movement of the person and the input movement can be carried out during travel with the watercraft, furthermore comprising a control device for providing a change and thus a selective increase and decrease of the lift force as a function of the control instruction, furthermore having a transmission device for transmitting the control instruction from the input device to the control device, furthermore having a steering device for providing a change in direction of the watercraft taking place along the water surface as a function of a steering movement by the person, wherein a holding device is provided for enabling a supporting function for the person operating the watercraft, wherein the input movement can be carried out independently of the steering movement and / or the supporting function.

Description

DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION[0001]The invention relates to a watercraft for transporting at least one person on a water surface having the features according to the preamble of claim 1.[0002]A watercraft for transporting a person on a water surface is, for example, known from US2004139905A1. Accordingly, the watercraft has a hydrofoil for creating a lift force and, furthermore, a handlebar which can be operated by the user and can be pivoted to the left, right, top and bottom. In this case, a supporting function for the person is not present or even if the person wants to be supported on the handlebar, also an undesired change in the upward movement of the watercraft is thereby caused.[0003]The object of the invention is to provide a watercraft which provides improved controllability and improved support for the person. A further object is to allow a controllable upward movement on the watercraft and / or to allow jumps with the watercraft and / or the compensation of wave motions of the wa...
