Fastening Apparatus of Combined Boat

Abstract

A fastening apparatus of a combined boat for securely joining boat hulls of the combined boat is disclosed. Grooves ( 3 ) are provided at the peripheries of joints of the boat hulls. The fastening apparatus includes a holding band ( 2 ) with ridges ( 4 ) mating with the grooves ( 3 ), and the holding band engages via the ridges ( 4 ) with the grooves ( 3 ) so as to join the boat hulls of the combined boat together securely. The fastening apparatus of the combined boat is simple in structure, easy to manufacture, and convenient to assemble and disassemble.

1 . An apparatus of combined rowboat and kayak, made of fiber, resin matrix composite, and/or plastic, is used to combine separated parts of the rowboat and kayak, whose characteristics are: grooves are provided at joints of boat hulls; a fastening apparatus includes a holding band with ridges mating with the grooves, and the holding band engages via the ridges with the grooves so as to join the boat hulls of the combined boat together securely. 
     
     
         2 . As the apparatus described in  claim 1 , the characteristic is: the holding band has a connecting part that can be formed in connecting or disconnecting form. 
     
     
         3 . As the apparatus described in  claim 2 , the characteristic is: the connecting part is a buckle which can be fastened and unfastened by hand without using any tools. 
     
     
         4 . As the apparatus described in  claim 1 ,  2  or  3 , the characteristic is: the holding band has hinges around the edge of the boat. 
     
     
         5 . As the apparatus described in  claim 4 , the characteristic is: the holding band is made of fiber and/or resin matrix composite materials.
