USPTO Application #: 20060219142
Title: Hybridhull boat system
Abstract: A hull is formed of a forward section, a rearward section and intermediate sections there between. The forward section is in a generally triangular configuration. The forward section has a forward-most point. The forward section has rearwardly extending sides. The rearward sections are formed of exterior and interior walls. A space is provided between the interior and exterior walls. The intermediate sections are formed in a generally triangular configuration. The intermediate section have a forward-most point. The intermediate sections have rearwardly extending interior walls and laterally spaced exterior walls. A saloon is above water level and is secured to the top and interior walls of the hull. The saloon has a front at the rearward end of the intermediate section. The saloon has a rear spaced forward of the end of the unitary hull. (end of abstract)

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a hybridhull boat system and more particularly pertains to increasing boating performance capabilities while decreasing drag during operations and use.

[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0004] The use of boat systems of known designs and configurations is known in the prior art. More specifically, boat systems of known designs and configurations previously devised and utilized for the purpose of transporting users over water through known methods and apparatuses are known to consist basically of familiar, expected, and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which has been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.

[0005] By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,373,715 issued Mar. 19, 1968 to Stacey relates to a powered trimaran with retractable pontoons. U.S. Pat. No. 4,644,890 issued Feb. 24, 1987 to Lott relates to a trimaran with planing hull. Lastly, U.S. Pat. No. 5,184,564 issued Feb. 9, 1993 to Robbins relates to a boat for personal watercraft.

[0006] While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe hybridhull boat system that allows increasing boating performance capabilities while decreasing drag during operations and use.

[0007] In this respect, the hybridhull boat system according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of increasing boating performance capabilities while decreasing drag during operations and use.

[0008] Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need for a new and improved hybridhull boat system which can be used for increasing boating performance capabilities while decreasing drag during operations and use. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0009] In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of boat systems of known designs and configurations now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved hybridhull boat system. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved hybridhull boat system and method which has all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.

[0010] To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises a rigid unitary hull. The unitary hull has a top. The top is positionable above water. The unitary hull has a bottom. The bottom is positionable beneath water. The unitary hull has a front end and a rear end. The unitary hull has a central axis. The central axis is provided between the front end and the rear ends. The unitary hull has a forward section. The forward section is provided forwardly. The unitary hull has a rearward sections. The rearward section is provided rearwardly. The unitary hull has an intermediate section. The intermediate section is provided between the forward and the rearward sections. The unitary hull is symmetrically constructed about the central axis.

[0011] The forward section is provided in a generally triangular configuration. The forward section has a forward-most point. The forward section has rearwardly extending convex sides.

[0012] The rearward sections are formed of laterally exterior walls. The rearward section are further formed of laterally interior walls. A space is provided between the exterior and interior walls.

[0013] The intermediate sections are formed in a generally triangular configuration. The intermediate sections have a forward-most point. The intermediate sections have rearwardly extending interior walls. The interior walls continue smoothly into the interior walls of the rearward sections. The interior sections have laterally spaced exterior walls. The interior walls continue smoothly from the exterior walls of the forward section. The interior walls further continue smoothly into the exterior walls of the rearward sections whereby the interior walls and the exterior walls are spaced at increasingly greater distances when viewed from the front to the back of the hull.

[0014] Further provided is a saloon above the water level. The saloon and the hull interior, inside, receives and supports crew and passengers during operation and use. The saloon is secured to the interior walls and top of the unitary hull. The saloon has a front. The front of the saloon is provided at the rearward end of the intermediate section. The saloon has a rear. The rear of the saloon is spaced forward of the end of the unitary hull. This thus forms a generally triangular opening in the hull in front of the saloon and a generally rectangular opening in the hull behind the saloon

[0015] Provided last is a mast. The mast extends upwardly from the saloon. The mast receives the sails.

[0016] There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims attached.

[0017] In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of descriptions and should not be regarded as limiting.

[0018] As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0019] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved hybridhull boat system which has all of the advantages of the prior art boat systems of known designs and configurations and none of the disadvantages.

[0020] It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved hybridhull boat system which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.

[0021] It is further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved hybridhull boat system which is of durable and reliable constructions.

[0022] An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved hybridhull boat system which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such hybridhull boat system economically available to the buying public.
