Articulated mount for securing an outboard motor to water vessels

Abstract

The present patent application discloses an articulated mount for securing an outboard motor to water vessels, pertaining to the field of articles for watercraft or for steering watercraft, for use more specifically for attaching an outboard motor to watercraft in general; the subject matter of the present application comprises two high-strength rigid structures (2), consisting of metal tubes reinforced with metal plates, which are attached to the rear portions of the sides of the vessel (3) or to the rear corners by means of bushings (4), the lower portion of each rigid structure having a flotation buoy (5).

1 . An articulated mount for securing an outboard motor in water vessels, comprising two rigid structures ( 2 ) of high strength consisting of metallic tubes reinforced with metallic plates, which are secured to rear portions of sides of the vessel ( 3 ) or at the rear corners, by means of bearings ( 4 ). 
     
     
         2 . The articulated mount for securing the outboard motor in water vessels according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the rigid structures present pivoting movement and move rotationally in asymmetry, from a center to the sides, making an arc of an order of 180º and appropriate conformations for couplings of respective outboard motors ( 6 ).   
     
     
         3 . The articulated mount for securing the outboard motor in water vessels according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein each rigid structure ( 2 ) has a possibility to install inflatable buoys ( 5 ) in any part of a lower portion.   
     
     
         4 . The articulated mount for securing the outboard motor in water vessels according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein each rigid structure ( 2 ) is installed on a rear portion of the water vessel ( 3 ), so that in a working position it is locked transversely to a stern.   
     
     
         5 . The articulated mount for securing the outboard motor in water vessels according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein in an open position the rigid structures ( 2 ) are orthogonal to the water vessel ( 3 ) and inflatable buoys ( 5 ) act to provide greater stability in the water vessel ( 3 ).   
     
     
         6 . The articulated mount for securing the outboard motor in water vessels according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein locks, not shown in the figures, are provided to keep the mount ( 1 ) stable both in a working position and in an open position.   
     
     
         7 . The articulated mount for securing the outboard motor in water vessels according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein optionally a mount ( 1 A) consists of two rigid structures of different sizes, since a rigid structure ( 2 A), on which an outboard motor ( 6 ) is secured, has a larger dimension than a rigid structure ( 2 B), so that said motor ( 6 ) is positioned in a central transverse portion of the vessel ( 3 ).
