Awning for cruiser

Abstract

Object: The costs required from manufacturing to attachment of an awning to a cruiser are reduced by dividing an awning that had been manufactured by attaching sheets to a frame into a plurality of divided body portions made of fiber-reinforced plastic, and connecting the divided body portions to constitute the awning adapted to various sizes.Solution Means: A light shielding roof panel 2 made of fiber-reinforced plastic to be disposed at the top of an open cabin Cl of a cruiser C is divided parallel to a central axis X in a front-rear direction into three divided bodies in a plan view including a central divided body 3 and left and right-side divided bodies 4 bilaterally symmetric via the central divided body 3, and the central divided body 3 and the left and right-side divided bodies 4 are respectively divided at an appropriate straight line Y orthogonal to the central axis X into two parts respectively including a central divided body front portion 3a and a central divided body rear portion 3b, and left and right-side divided body front portions 4a and left and right-side divided body rear portions 4b.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This claims priority from Japanese Application No. 2020-24988, filed Feb. 18, 2020, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to an awning for a cruiser, to be attached to an open cabin formed by opening an upper side of a cabin of a cruiser.BACKGROUND ART[0003]Conventionally, there are cruisers having cabins whose upper sides are open (cabins of this kind are collectively called open cabins), such as a cruiser that has a main cabin with a steering which is opened to the air, and a cruiser that has a flying deck (called a flying bridge, also) with a steering which is provided on the roof of a main cabin.[0004]Since such an open cabin has the upper side opened, a steersman can enjoy a refreshing sense of exhilaration while steering.[0005]However, when steering in an open cabin, a steersman is exposed to strong headwinds, splashing waves, or exposed to sunl...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a light shielding roof panel for cruisers that can be divided into three parts for easy transportation and assembly, without the need for separate manufacturing and storage facilities. The roof panel is curved and has a window opening frame and cross bar that reduces air resistance and sway of the cruiser. The front window can be opened and closed with a simple sliding operation, and in the closed state, the awning assumes a streamlined form. The central divided body front portion is designed for multiple shapes and sizes, reducing costs. The technical effects of this invention include reduced manufacturing and attachment costs, improved ventilation, and improved visibility and steering for the cruiser.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, such an enclosure does not have a good external appearance since the box-shaped enclosure projects from the streamlined hull.

Furthermore, ventilation can be allowed to blow into the enclosure by opening the fasteners of the transparent vinyl sheets, however, generally, the cruiser is anchored while being left exposed to the weather in a marina, and the transparent vinyl sheets may deform due to temperature changes and other various conditions making the fasteners difficult to be smoothly opened and closed, so that usability is low.
