Description

Title of the invention: Motorized nautical vehicle, called JET BIKE, light transportable nautical leisure vehicle, allowing movement on water

[0001] The present invention relates to a motorized vehicle, allowing leisure and sporting travel on water.

[0002] [Fig. 1] schematic representation of a first example of the invention in top view.

[0003] The upper part of the machine, called "JETBIKE" is composed of removable and modifiable coverings, called design shell, with a padded seat part to offer more comfort. There is also a handlebar and speed control lever and the necessary and safe instrumentation for visibility and emergency cut-off of the pilot and even the passenger.

[0004] The part in surface contact with the water is composed of adjustable and removable floating and stabilizing elements on the front and rear part of the machine. These elements are interchangeable both in terms of the design of the machine and depending on the category of the pilot and its use.

[0005] The energy storage is in a sealed compartment resting on the tubular structure and with the connections necessary for propulsion and also for filling and recharging the stored energy.

[0006] A waterproof motor enclosure located under the rear hull is composed of a support block for the adjustable and removable rear floats. These elements are interchangeable both in terms of the design of the machine and depending on the category of the pilot and its use.

[0007] The watertight engine compartment with an upper access hatch. Consists of a rotating machine assembly mechanically driving an internal shaft on a bearing extending towards the submerged part at the end of the rear block. Guaranteeing by a set of seals the watertightness of the transmission shaft between the engine compartment and the submerged propulsion element, called propeller(s).

[0008] The axis is capable of being connected by its second end to propulsion means, such as a propeller, so that when the system is supplied with primary energy, it thus drives the propeller shaft.

[0009] Generally speaking, marine propulsion is carried out by propeller. The craft can also be provided with a so-called water jet propulsion unit depending on the desired use.

[0010] Different motors can traditionally be used to drive the propeller in rotation. Electric motors known as Brushless "inrunner" or "outrunner" type, direct current motors. And motors with injection and water-cooled internal combustion engines.

[0011] In order to increase the autonomy of use of the invention in the electrical energy mode. Several versions of removable storage will be proposed.

[0012] A tubular structure allows the assembly and maintenance of all the parts composing the upper and lower elements and all other parts of the equipment and the passage of the control connections and air intake ducts for thermal engines, including the air intake located in the front part in front of the handlebars with an incorporated insufflation aid, by mini duct turbine and an inlet element limiting any water suction. The structure thus allows ease of transport, but also replacement of the elements, see the type of plug and play motorization of the machine called "JETBIKE".

[0013] For the initial models with internal combustion engines, they will benefit from an optimization of the inlet and outlet flows of the exhaust gases and air intake by the tubular structure of the frame on both sides and partitioned.

Removable right front float stabilizer element 3. Left side visibility element 4. Pilot and guidance position 5. Energy storage compartment and fairing 6. Pilot's seat part 7. Removable right rear float stabilizer element 8. Upper rear shell, aesthetic trim of the engine box with upper access hatch 9. Engine system compartment 10. Rear footrest - sports position 11.

[0016] [Fig.4] The pilot can be positioned in a fork, keeping his legs in the water each side of the machine, and resting on the footrests of the removable keel.

[0017] [Fig.5] The second, more sporty and semi-reclining position on the front part, with legs stretched out over the rear end of the machine, always on suitable footrests.

[0018] [Fig.6] exploded top view representation of the machine.

[0019] The example given serves as an example and is therefore not limited to this description.

[0020] In particular, and although finding a particularly interesting application in the field of leisure boating, the invention is not limited to a typical use and can be used in enclosed aquatic spaces for small and medium ranges and just as well on fresh and salt water bodies around the globe. With authorization and a permit for powers greater than 6CV.

[0021] For comfort and safety of use, the invention called "JET BIKE" will be provided in certain versions with remote and automatic control equipment for monitoring the funds and all other parameters necessary for the comfort and safety of the users.
