Description

[0001] The invention relates to a roof for a boat, and a boat comprising the roof.

[0002] An example of a roof for a boat is a tarpaulin.

[0003] US 20060124045 A1 discloses a removable one-piece roof for a boat, which can be attached to a fold-out support structure of the boat.

[0004] The roof and the boat according to the independent requirements offer protection that can be closed quickly and comfortably when needed, e.g. sun or rain or at night or when parking the boat.

[0005] The boat has a frame for a windshield and an arched support arranged between the frame for the windshield and the stern of the boat, which are designed to attach a roof, in particular a lifting roof, for the boat which can be removably arranged between the frame and the arched support.

[0006] The boat may be provided with locking elements on the frame and the arch support, wherein the locking elements arranged on the frame and the arch support are designed to interact with locking elements arranged on the roof for fastening the roof to the frame and the arch support. This allows for easy attachment of the roof.

[0007] A rear window may be provided between the arch support and the stern. This protects the area between the arch support and the stern.

[0008] It may be provided that the roof is made of glass.

[0009] It may be provided that the roof is constructed in one piece.

[0010] The boat may be designed with a space to accommodate the removed roof. This allows the roof to be stowed away when not in use.

[0011] The roof, in particular a lifting roof, for a boat is designed to be detachably attachable between a frame for a windshield and an arched support arranged on the boat between the frame and a stern of the boat.

[0012] It may be provided that the roof is made of glass.

[0013] It may be provided that the roof is constructed in one piece.

[0014] It can be provided that closure elements for fastening the roof to the frame and to the arched support are arranged on the roof, which closure elements are designed to cooperate with closure elements arranged on the frame and to the arched support for fastening the roof to the frame and to the arched support for fastening the roof to the frame and to the arched support.

[0015] Further advantageous embodiments can be found in the following description and the drawing. The drawing shows: Fig. 1 a schematic representation of a boat, Fig. 2 a schematic representation of a boat with a roof.

[0016] In Fig. 1 a boat 100 is shown schematically.

[0017] The boat 100 includes a windshield 101. The boat 100 includes a frame 102 for the windshield 101.

[0018] The boat 100 includes a bow support 103 arranged between the windshield 101 and a stern of the boat 100. The bow support 103 is permanently attached to the boat 100 in the example.

[0019] The boat 100 includes a stern window 104. The stern window 104 is arranged between the stern and the arched support 103. In the example, the stern window 104 extends from the arched support 103 to the boat 100.

[0020] In Fig. 2 is the boat 100 with a roof 105.

[0021] In this example, the roof 105 is made of glass. In this example, the roof 105 is constructed in one piece.

[0022] The roof 105 can be removably arranged between the frame 102 and the arched support 103. In the example, the roof 105 is a lifting roof. The roof 105 can be removed, for example, by a user. A lifting mechanism can be provided for raising the roof 105.

[0023] The arched support 103 is designed to fasten the roof 105 between the frame 102 and the arched support 103. The roof 105 is designed to be detachably fastened between the frame 102 and the arched support 103.

[0024] The boat 100 has locking elements 106 on the frame 102 and on the arch support 103. The locking elements 106 are designed to cooperate with locking elements 107 arranged on the roof 105 for fastening the roof 105 to the frame 102 and the arch support 103. QUOTES CONTAINED IN THE DESCRIPTION
