Lowerable wheelhouse roof for canal or river boats - is arranged movably by leaves wheelhouse equipment is place

摘要

A boat used on rivers or canals has a wheelhouse with a sloping roof which is hinged to the boat structure at its rear end. The roof is hinged at its point of attachment and can be swung downwards to reduce the overall height of the boat. Thus the boat can pass underneath low bridges etc. In normal use the roof is raised to provide a good forward view. The arrangement is such that only the roof is moved, the wheelhouse equipment remaining stationary. ADVANTAGE - Improved design versatility.
