    摘要: A sliding roof panel assembly for covering a roof opening of a marine craft is disclosed. The sliding roof panel assembly comprises a slide guide for attachment along one side of the roof opening, a roof panel which is slidably moveable between an open and lifted position and a closed and lowered position, the roof opening being covered by the roof panel in the closed and lowered position, and a slide assembly guided for travel along the slide guide and supporting the roof panel. The slide guide has a slide track and a guide rail, the slide track and the guide rail each extending along the slide guide, the guide rail having a forward depressed portion and a rearward raised portion. The slide assembly comprises a drive slide driveably moveable along the slide track of the slide guide, a guide rail follower supported by and moveable along the guide rail, the guide rail follower supporting the roof panel, and a first lever, linking the drive slide and the roof panel via respective rotatable links. In use, the roof panel is slidably moveable from the open and lifted position to the closed and lowered position by driving the drive slide forward in the slide track to move the guide rail follower forward along the rearward raised portion of the guide rail until the guide rail follower reaches the forward depressed portion of the guide rail. The guide rail follower travels downwardly along the forward depressed portion of the guide rail relative to the drive slide by the weight of the roof panel and rotation of the first lever, the roof panel following the movement of the guide rail follower downwardly towards the closed and lowered position.

    摘要: A watercraft includes at least one float, a first frame supported by the at least one float, and a main panel affixed across the first frame. The watercraft further includes a second frame affixed to the first frame rotatably about a first edge and a second panel affixed across the second frame. In an embodiment, the first edge includes a shared frame member belonging to both said the frame and the second frame. In an embodiment, the watercraft includes a third frame affixed to the first frame rotatably about a second edge distinct from the first edge and a third panel affixed across the third frame. In an embodiment, the watercraft includes a shade rotatably affixed to a shade support edge member of the second frame and a shade panel affixed across the shade frame. The shade frame includes a pair of shade frame edge members rotatably affixed to the shade support edge member of the second frame.

    摘要: A flexible support receiver comprising a base, a sewing flange, and a snap fit flange. The base is configured to receive one or more support poles or other support device. A first sewing flange and a second sewing flange are radially disposed around the perimeter of the base. The support receiver may contain vented openings. A sewing fixture aids to position hardware with a circular sewing flange such that a sewing machine places a circular stitch line relative to the central axis of the hardware.

    摘要: A frame for a top of a boat that can be moved between a deployed position and a collapsed position with the aid of an articulated top assist mechanism such that the manual effort required to move the top between the collapsed position and deployed position is minimized or eliminated. The articulated top assist mechanism has a torque hub attached to a frame element of the top and a spring that applies torque to the hub by a strap attached to the hub and the spring.

    摘要: A retractable canopy for a watercraft lift comprising an actuator operatively connected to the watercraft lift and a movable boom to rotate the movable boom relative to the watercraft lift; a linkage extends between the fixed boom and the movable boom, at least one first strut is supported by the linkage, at least one second strut is supported by a fixed boom; and at least one third strut is supported by the movable boom. The fixed boom, the movable boom, the at least one second strut, and the at least one third strut support a cover in an extended configuration above a watercraft area. The fixed boom, the movable boom, the at least one first strut, the at least one second strut, and the at least one third strut support the cover in a retracted configuration adjacent to the fixed strut.

    摘要: A tilting canopy has a canopy frame, at least one actuator, a plurality of canopy supports, and a support frame. The canopy frame is hingedly connected to the support frame through two medial supports, such that the medial supports act as pivot points for the canopy frame. The at least one actuator is engaged between the canopy frame and the support frame such that the at least one actuator is configured to rotate the canopy frame about the pivot point between a lowered position and a raised position. In the raised position, a user may store a boat or other vehicle or item with towers, Bimini tops, or other features which would normally be prohibitive of moving the boat or other vehicle beneath the canopy.

    摘要: A sustainable floating community based on a mass-produced modular, pre-fabricated kit of parts referred to as floating modular units. The floating modular units are designed to allow for various needs while remaining simple to deliver and assemble by hand in remote destinations prone to volatile shifts in water levels and currents. The floating modular units are ready to assemble, can be erected for use on land and bodies of water, are easily collapsible for transport, thereby serving as highly adaptable transportable structures.

    摘要: A transparent modulatable kayak with shading system includes two pairs of fitting devices, reversibly connecting multiple kayaks. The tubular body of the paddle is reversibly divisible at the center. The inner volume of the hull has a container housing a cloth adapted to shade the user on the seat. The upper surface of the hull has a plurality of recesses, of which at least one pair is positioned at the bow and at least one pair is positioned at the stern, each housing a portion of the tubular body of the paddle. The tubular body includes, at each end, at least one coupling device adapted to reversibly connect at least one of the corresponding coupling devices of the cloth. The hull is made of any natural or synthetic polymer adapted to ensure the floating of the kayak and its total transparency.

    摘要: A watercraft (1) is provided having a primary deck (3) that is carried on two primary buoyant members, such as pontoons (5, 7), that are substantially parallel to one another. The watercraft (1) includes a pair of deck extensions (13, 15) that are articulately connected to opposing sides of the primary deck (3). Each deck extension (13, 15) may comprise a number of extension segments (21, 23) that in concert form the deck extension. The watercraft (1) is operable between a deployed condition in which the deck extensions (13, 15) are substantially coplanar with the primary deck (3), thereby extending the primary deck (3) and a stowed condition, in which the deck extensions (13, 15) are raised substantially above the primary deck (3) with the extension segments (21, 23) of each deck extension alternately folded. The deck extensions (21, 23) are each connected to an auxiliary buoyant (25) member such that, when the watercraft (1) is in the deployed condition, each deck extension (13, 15) is carried on the buoyant member (25) connected thereto.
