Retractable keel apparatus

摘要

A retractable keel apparatus for a ship, in particular for a sailboat, including a lift device for a lowerable and retractable fin device having a fin (4) and a fin head plate (20) disposed thereon, the fin head plate making contact with a keel receptacle (5) provided for permanently attaching to a hull when the fin is lowered, the receptacle further having a locking device by which releasable locking can be produced between the fin head plate (20) and the keel receptacle (5). The invention should be designed such that, despite greater stability, including in the event of a crash, the device can be produced and integrated in ships as simply and cost-effectively as possible. For this purpose, the locking device has at least one, preferably a plurality of, preferably driven, longitudinally displaceable locking bolts (15) that can be displaced along a diagonally running displacement path.

主权项

1. A retractable keel apparatus for a ship, in particular for a sailboat which has a lift device for a lowerable and retractable fin device, which is equipped with a fin and a fin head plate which is arranged on the fin such that, when the fin is lowered, the fin head plate comes to rest against a keel receptacle which is provided for permanent connection to a hull of the ship, said keel receptacle being provided with a locking mechanism with which a releasable lock can be created between the fin head plate and the keel receptacle, the retractable keep apparatus, comprising:
a form-fitting connection between the fin device and the keel receptacle in an extracted state of the fin device as well as by the locking device with which the fin head plate is held in a form-fitting arrangement, said locking device comprising at least one locking bar which can be brought into contact with a top side of the fin device to exert a hold down force on the fin device, which is provided with at least one vertical component.
