Title: Service space for a retractable propulsion device or corresponding
Inventor: HOERKKOE TUIJA
IPC: B63H5/125
Filed: 2009-03-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a service space of a retractable propulsion device or corresponding system in a vessel or corresponding floating structure, which service space (11) comprises a closed or closable space limited by walls, a top structure and a bottom in which an access has been arranged for the crew (C) from the other parts of the vessel or corresponding floating structure. The service space (11) is constructed into connection with the bottom (2) of the vessel or corresponding floating structure so that the propulsion device (4) or corresponding system is retractable from an operating position into a service/storage position within the service space (11) and correspondingly lowerable from the service space (11) down into the operating position. According to the invention, the service space (11) is located at least mainly below a waterline (WL) of the vessel or corresponding floating structure and is provided with watertight closing devices (14) arranged on the level of the bottom (2) of the vessel or corresponding floating structure. When opened, the closing devices (14) constitute a direct access from the service space (11) to water via the bottom (2) of the vessel or corresponding floating structure for lowering the propulsion device (4) or corresponding system from the service space (11) to water into the operating position i.e. operating mode and correspondingly for lifting it from water within the service space (11) into the service/storage position i.e.  service/storage mode. When closed, the closing devices (14) constitute together with the top and wall structures of the service space (11) a watertight space from which water is removable after closing the closing devices (14).

Title: Unused or aftermarket trailer tongue conversion device
Inventor: MACDOUGALL KENNETH L
IPC: B60D1/00
Filed: 2012-04-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to a trailer tongue, of an unused or aftermarket towable trailer, being severed for the purpose of utilizing a conversion device whose principal functions are to connect a rear severed tongue section to a forward severed tongue section, while converting the latter to provide both tongue support and security functions. Carefully severing said trailer tongue, at a desirable location, is accomplished, detaching and/or re-routing its wiring, leaving safety chains and a coupler hitch intact. Said rear severed tongue section is inserted into the rear of said conversion device and secured, ragged edges of said forward severed tongue section are ground smooth a rubber foot plate affixed, before insertion into an "open through" section of said conversion device. Said conversion device, being of metal, aluminum or other suitable material, having no moving parts, is raised and temporarily clamped to said forward severed tongue section at a desired height. At this point, three holes in said conversion device provide a template for drilling a pivot means and a locking means in vertically positioned said forward severed tongue section. A pivot pin is inserted and secured, said forward severed tongue section is rotated to a horizontal position, where said conversion device hitch means provides the location for drilling a hitch means for its support leg. Accordingly, said conversion device utilizes original components of said trailer tongue, conjoining them and enabling said forward severed section, pivoted to a vertical position, to provide a tongue support leg of suitable length, a locking hitch pin to secure it in that position, to deter theft, and an upper tongue section with said coupler hitch, for attachment to a tow vehicle. Said conversion device requires only said rubber foot plate, said pivot pin and said locking hitch pin.
