Foldable, inflatable boat with inserted bottom - uses inflexible traction units to retain bottom plates

摘要

The foldable inflatable boat has an inserted bottom, consisting of inflexible planks or plates, facing each other in a V-shaped. Non-flexible traction units (12), extending in the longitudinal direction of the boat, are connected positively to the bottom. The units press the plaees (7) against each other, by traction tension. The traction units are positioned on the upper surface of the bottom, and fastened to the front and rear plates. There may be a traction unit on each side of the boat, near the inner and the outer edge of the bottom. The units are accommodated in tubular or sleeve-shaped guides.
