Benefits of technology

This patent describes a device that allows for continuous adjustment of a support arm's angle relative to a base, allowing for the arm to extend in different directions. This device includes a pivot connected between the support arm and the base, as well as an angular adjustment mechanism that allows for the support arm to be raised or lowered vertically. The technical effect of this invention is a more versatile and adjustable support arm for a device, allowing for improved performance and user experience.

Problems solved by technology

However, the respective arms and outer contact bodies on the arms do not appear to enable a sufficient range of adjustments to accommodate various configurations of watercraft hulls varying from one another in both the transverse (side-to-side) and fore-and-aft directions.

Abstract

A multi-adjustable watercraft chock includes a base having opposite ends attachable on a surface, a pair of arms pivotally connected at inner ends to the base at opposite locations proximate the opposite ends of the base, contact bodies disposed at outer ends of the arms, couplers connecting the contact bodies with respective outer ends of the arms so as to define a pair of pivotal axes spaced apart from, and orthogonally oriented relative to, one another such that one contact body is pivotal in orthogonal directions relative to the respective outer end of one arm, and angular adjustment mechanisms coupling the arms to proximate the outer ends of the base so as to enable the arms to be continuously angularly adjusted to selectively extend from the base in oppositely flared configuration and arm outer ends and therewith bodies to thereby raise or lower relative to the base.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to stowing watercraft, and, more particularly, is concerned with a multi-adjustable watercraft chock for accommodating different configurations of the hulls of various watercraft.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Certain watercraft, namely tenders and jet skis, are oftentimes mounted on decks or platforms of large boats, such as cabin cruisers, yachts and the like, to enable anchoring the large boat at a distance from shore and going ashore in the watercraft. In order to secure the watercraft on the boat deck or platform, chocks (also referred to as cradles) have been developed to effectively stow the watercraft on the deck or platform.[0003]One commercially-available chock by UMT International of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. is referred to as an Adjustable / Universal (AU) Chock. A pair of these chocks are installed as a set on the boat deck or platform. Each of these chocks has a base that stationarily attaches to the boat deck or pla...
