Vessel with a Hull and at Least a Float

Abstract

The invention relates to a watercraft ( 10 ) having a hull ( 4 ) and at least one float ( 5 ), which is connected to the hull ( 4 ) via at least one kinematic connection ( 6 ), wherein the kinematic connection ( 6 ) comprises a first leg ( 1 ), which is linked at one end on the hull ( 4 ) and at the other end on the float ( 5 ) and is variable in its length by a first actuator ( 11 ), characterized in that the kinematic connection ( 6 ) comprises a second leg ( 2 ), which is linked at one end on the hull ( 4 ) and at the other end on a leg ( 1, 3 ) extending between hull ( 4 ) and float ( 5 ), preferably on the first leg ( 1 ) and is variable in its length by a second actuator ( 12 ), and/or a third leg ( 3 ), which is linked at one end on the first leg ( 1 ) or on the hull ( 4 ) and at the other end on the float ( 5 ) and is variable in its length by a third actuator ( 13 ), wherein the linkage point of the first leg ( 1 ) on the float ( 5 ) is spaced apart from the linkage point of the third leg ( 3 ) on the float ( 5 ).

1 . A watercraft having a hull and at least one float, which is connected to the hull via at least one kinematic connection, wherein the kinematic connection comprises a first leg, which is linked at one end on the hull and at the other end on the float and is variable in its length by a first actuator, wherein the kinematic connection comprises
 a second leg, which is linked at one end on the hull and at the other end on a leg extending between hull and float, preferably on the first leg and is variable in its length by a second actuator, wherein the linkage point of the first leg on the hull is spaced apart from the linkage point of the second leg on the hull, and/or   a third leg, which is linked at one end on the first leg or on the hull and at the other end on the float and is variable in its length by a third actuator, wherein the linkage point of the first leg on the float spaced apart from the linkage point of the third leg on the float.   
     
     
         2 . The watercraft according to  claim 1 , wherein the first leg is pivotable in the linkage point on the float about a first pivot axis and the third leg is pivotable in the linkage point on the float about a third pivot axis, wherein the first pivot axis and the third pivot axis are essentially parallel to one another and are spaced apart from one another in a direction perpendicular to the first and third pivot axes. 
     
     
         3 . The watercraft according to  claim 1 , wherein the linkage point of the first leg on the hull is arranged in a lateral region of the hull. 
     
     
         4 . The watercraft according to  claim 1 , wherein the actuators are actuable independently of one another. 
     
     
         5 . The watercraft according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the actuators preferably all actuators, is/are cylinder drives. 
     
     
         6 . The watercraft according to  claim 1 , wherein the first actuator and/or the third actuator is/are a telescopic cylinder. 
     
     
         7 . The watercraft according to  claim 1 , wherein the float is connected to the hull via at least two kinematic connections, which are spaced apart from one another in the travel direction of the watercraft. 
     
     
         8 . The watercraft according to  claim 1 , wherein the watercraft has at least two floats, which are preferably arranged on both sides of the hull and are each connected to the hull via at least one kinematic connection. 
     
     
         9 . The watercraft according to  claim 1 , wherein the floats are essentially parallel to one another or to the travel direction of the watercraft in a first position and/or preferably extend toward one another or extend away from one another in a V shape in the travel direction of the watercraft in a second position. 
     
     
         10 . The watercraft according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one float is arranged below the hull in a first position and is arranged adjacent to the hull in a second position.
