DAVIT CRADLE LIFT FOR SMALL BOATS

摘要

A davit lift for small boats can be pivotally coupled to a rearwardly projecting horizontal surface of a boat. The davit lift includes a cradle formed of multiple tubular members arranged to support a small boat. Apertures formed in one end of the tubular members are alignable with apertures in a pair of mounting brackets affixable to a boat to receive lock pins. Selective engagement and disengagement of the lock pins allows the cradle to be pivoted from its deployed position, an upright storage position and a forward inclined transport position.

主权项

1. A davit cradle lift for boats with a rearwardly projecting horizontal surface comprising:
a cradle formed of two spaced longitudinally extending tubular members, each having first and second opposed ends, and a third laterally extending member connected adjacent the second ends of the first and second tubular members; a pair of spaced apertures adjacent the first ends of each of the first and second tubular members; a pair of mounting brackets, affixable to a horizontally extending rearward surface of a boat, the mounting brackets carrying first and second pairs of spaced apertures; and first and second pins respectively mountable the first and second aperture pairs, the first and second pins extending through one aperture of the first and second aperture pairs of each of the first and second tubular members, the first and second pins being removable and insertable at the same time, or only the second pin, or only the first pin, to allow the cradle to move between a lowered position where the cradle is disposed in the water to launch or retrieve a dinghy, and an out of water storage position.
