Title: Retractable keels for boats
Inventor: STEYNOR WILLIAM HAROLD VERNON
IPC: B63B41/00
Filed: 2009-05-18
Abstract: A retractable boat-keel involves first and second pivoted keel-plates (1,2) which are retained retracted end-to-end in longitudinal alignment by a cable (16) attached to an interconnecting link (13) hinged to their bottom ends. The cable (16) is released for deployment of the keel, this allowing the first plate (1) to swing down and via the link (16) draw the second plate (2) with it. The second plate (2) has rollers (9) which run on rails (10) that descend tipping the second plate (2) forward so that it is propelled under gravity to be retained edge-on against the first plate (1). Upward movement of the keel from the deployed state by grounding, knock-down or roll, is blocked by abutment of stops (20) on the second plate (2) with lock-stops (21) on the keel- box (3), but retraction of the keel is achieved by pulling-in the cable (160. This draws the second plate (2) up the rails (10) under the lock-stops (21) and, via the interconnecting link (13), pivots the first plate (1) back with it into the retracted condition.
