A pedal powered drive mechanism and an aquatic vehicle having such a mechanism are constructed primarily of lightweight inexpensive moulded plastic. The vehicle has a buoyant hull with a central longitudinal axis and saddle seat. Handle bar steering is mounted to the hull and a pedal powered drive mechanism drives a stem mounted propeller. The mechanism is constructed of moulded plastic components for simple assembly and results in an inexpensive lightweight drive compared to conventional metal components. The drive has a housing with two axially spaced apart shaft bearing cradles. The crank shaft is disposed in the cradles, with opposing crank arms and pedal mounts extending perpendicular to the crank shaft axis and outward of the cradles. A drive pulley is mounted on the shaft between the cradles by sliding a pulley central opening along the shaft over at least one pedal mount. Collars disposed on the shaft between the pulley and each cradle retain the assembly in a simple manner.

Drive mechanism assembly for aquatic vehicle

The invention is directed to a peddle powered aquatic vehicle with a propeller driven by pedal cranks, a flywheel, and water-cooled belt drive transmission, the vehicle hull including T-bar steering handles, a saddle seat and lateral outriggers to enable a passenger to ride the vehicle like a bicycle on water. The aquatic vehicle has a buoyant hull with a central longitudinal body with the saddle seat allowing a passenger to be supported in a startling position. To provide lateral stability two elongate outriggers are disposed laterally from the central hull body with outrigger arms connecting the body to the outriggers. A manual steering mechanism is attached to the hull for steering by the passenger; preferably in the form of a T-bar journaled to the hull connected with cords to a rear mounted rudder. Pedal powered drive means are mounted in the hull for driving a stern mounted propeller. A pair of pedal cranks are journaled for rotation about the transverse axis. A longitudinal drive shaft with a propeller mounted on the rear end is connected to transmission means mounted on the forward end of the shaft for rotating the shaft in response to rotation of the pedal cranks. Within the hull of the vehicle is a hollow sump chamber within which the drive means are housed. Preferably, the transmission includes a fly wheel and drive belt providing gear reduction to a final drive mounted to the longitudinal shaft. The drive belt is twisted 90.degree. between the flywheel and the final drive disc in order to provide very inexpensive gear reduction and transfer of direction from rotation about transverse axis to rotation about the longitudinal shaft axis. The sump is partially flooded with water from a water inlet and the drive mechanism is water cooled as water from the sump is splashed over moving parts. The propeller includes pivotally mounted blades which fold rearwardly to avoid damage when encountering obstacles or when the vehicle is dragged on the beach. Also, the folding of the propeller blades permits gliding of the vehicle on the water surfaces with reduced water resistance.

The invention relates to dual hull kayak, with a one piece elongate moulded body of a continuous outer membrane enclosing an internal cavity. The kayak body has two lateral side walls and a concave bottom wall joined laterally with a bottom edge of each side wall to define two laterally spaced apart parallel pontoons each with a downwardly pointed keel. The top wall of the kayak body is joined laterally with a top edge of each side wall, to complete the hollow body. The top wall together with the bottom wall define a bridge platform spanning a central longitudinal tunnel between the pontoons. The pontoons support a top portion of the tunnel above the waterline. The top wall has a recessed open cockpit with a self-draining floor, side gunnels, and front and back cockpit walls formed into transverse reinforcing ribs. The simple easily moulded structure is very stable against lateral tipping, whereas conventional kayaks and canoes are very unstable laterally. The dual pointed hull also provides directional stability for straight line padding even by novices. Conventional kayaks or canoes are very difficult to master by novices who often paddle in a zig zig pattern and require a significant degree of skill to paddle in a relatively straight line. The sharp dual hulls reduce drag due to reduced wetted surface. The dual hull kayak is so stable laterally that it can be used as a diving platform and can be remounted by a swimmer from the water without tipping or overturning. Conventional kayaks or canoes require expert level skill to accomplish the same re-entry task. If desired the kayak can be inverted and the tunnel shape of the bottom wall provides a rigid water slide for children, water rescue cradle or can be adapted for use as a suntanning lounge. The kayak body includes bow eyelets and is rigid enough to be safely towed with a tow rope behind a motor boat.

A pedal boat comprises an integrally molded hollow hull having an upper surface where water passengers can be seated. The hull is provided with drain holes to conduct water away from the pedal boat. A steering assembly and paddle wheel assembly are mounted to the hull. Each paddle of the paddle wheel assembly has a terminal portion which is displaceable between a rest position, wherein the terminal portion extends at an angle to the plane of the paddle to provide a more vertical entrance angle of the paddle in the water, thereby reducing the noise factor, and a loaded position in the water, wherein the terminal portion extends in the plane of the paddle to provide a greater thrust.

A ceiling fan for cleaning air in a room wherein each blade of the ceiling fan has a cavity open to the top and bottom surfaces of each fan blade and a filter unit in each of the cavities but within the confines of the fan blade such that, when the ceiling fan is operated, the airflow created by the ceiling fan will be forced through the filter unit from the bottom surface through to the top surface, wherein the filter units can collect airborne particles.

A float member has a top surface, a bottom surface, a front end and a rear end. A pair of elongated chambers extend in the float member between the top surface and the bottom surface. Each elongated chamber has respective openings at the top surface and bottom surface and rear end. Flap valves are provided for permitting water to enter through the bottom openings of the elongated chambers and foot pumps are provided for ejecting water through the rear ends of the chambers.

Water recreation apparatus

A pair of pontoons are connected together in spaced arrangement by a bridge. A hammock, for supporting the user of the sailing arrangement, is disposed between and above the pontoons. A framed sail is attached to the pontoons such that the attitude and direction of the sail can be manipulated by the user. For this purpose, handles are provided on the underside of the sail and the user grasps the handles to manipulate the sail.

Sailing arrangement

The equipment includes a device for floating on the surface of a body of water and for supporting at least one user, and footwear worn by the user for propelling the device through the water. The device for floating includes at least two spaced, parallel, side-by-side pontoons and a frame connected to the pontoons and extending above the space between the pontoons for supporting the user in the space between the pontoons. The footwear includes a foot receiving portion having a foot receiving surface and a second surface opposite to the foot receiving surface and fins extending downwardly from the second surface.

Water sporting equipment

The board member of the water sport equipment includes a steering arrangement and a control for controlling the steering arrangement. The glider member includes a stabilizer extending across a centerline of the glider member.
