166 results about "Inflatable boat" patented technology

An inflatable boat is a lightweight boat constructed with its sides and bow made of flexible tubes containing pressurised gas. For smaller boats, the floor and hull is often flexible, while for boats longer than 3 metres (9.8 ft), the floor typically consists of three to five rigid plywood or aluminium sheets fixed between the tubes, but not joined rigidly together. Often the transom is rigid, providing a location and structure for mounting an outboard motor.

Patch repair system for collapsible fuel and water tanks

The invention is a patch system for repairing collapsible fuel tanks, water tanks, inflatable boats, and other articles fabricated from a flexible structural fabric coated with a polymer. The coated structural fabric is made of nylon or polyester synthetic fibers or a blend thereof, which are coated with a thermoplastic elastomer. The structural coated fabric is coated with a thermoplastic elastomer that is a urethane (TPU), or a TPU alloy polymer. Likewise, the patch is a urethane adhesive having a latent cure coated on a TPU film. The patch can also have an integral reinforcing fabric for applications requiring a higher tensile patch. In the invention, the urethane adhesive of the patch is solvent activated by the application of a thin coating of a volatile, substantially low odor, fugitive solvent like acetone or MEK. While in the activated state, the adhesive has much less cyrstallinity and a lot more tack. The solvent activated adhesive has good wetting, and aggressively wets out and adheres to the surface of the TPU coating on the tank. The activated adhesive side of the patch is pressed against the surface of the tank. The solvent will also partially etch the thermoplastic urethane polymer coating on the tank fabric, and rapidly diffuses therein, ultimately evaporating to the surroundings. The cross-linkable urethane adhesive contains a blocked isocyanate and, preferably, an uretdione. The reduced cyrstallinity in the adhesive imparts greater freedom to the blocked isocyanate that can, depending on the equilibrium of the system, begin to cross-link the adhesive. The curing process can be accelerated through the application of heat, albeit will slowly progress to a cured state at ambient conditions.

Inflatable floor for inflatable boat

An inflatable floor for an inflatable boat acts as a keel using three inflatable floor layers. The uppermost first inflatable floor layer has a planar cross section. The second inflatable floor layer is located under the first inflatable floor layer. The third inflatable floor layer is located under the second inflatable floor layer. A plurality of threads are provided, in an X- or I-like configuration, inside air chambers of the three inflatable floor layers. The threads link the upper and lower walls of the air chamber of each respective inflatable floor layer to each other. The inflatable floor has increased buoyancy and stiffness, is easy to fold and transport and is easy and economical to repair or replace and thus is easily applicable to a large military or rescue inflatable boat.

Command inflatable boat stopping barrier

An inflatable barrier system halts an approaching boat. A barrier support platform houses a pressurized gas source and a power supply and has a winch connected to a pair of cables. An inflatable barrier body member having a bow and stern is coupled to the pressurized gas source for inflation of the body member and the cables are connected to the bow and stern to deploy the inflated body member at the surface of the water and to maintain the bow above the surface and the stern below the surface of the water. A barrier controller provides signals indicative of the approaching boat to initiate the inflation of the inflatable barrier body member and the deployment of the inflated barrier body member at the surface with the bow above the surface and the stern below the surface without inflicting excessive damage to the boat or injury to its occupants.

Valve structure, bladder, and hull portion for inflatable boats

A valve structure includes a valve body on which is mounted a first valve and a second valve. The first valve traverses the valve body at a first position and the second valve traverses the valve body at a second position spaced apart from the first position. The first valve may comprise a fill valve and the second valve may comprise a pressure relief valve. Alternatively, a single valve structure may incorporate both the fill and pressure relief functions. The valve structure may be incorporated with a bladder made of a flexible and elastic material. In this arrangement, the valve body is positioned in a valve receiving opening in the bladder material and is sealed to the bladder material around the periphery of the valve receiving opening so as to define a sealed bladder interior with the bladder material. Such a valve and bladder combination may be used together with a hull tube to form a portion of an inflatable hull for a boat.
