| 20120132120 | Servo-assisted steering device for vehicles, in particular for boats or the like - A servo-assisted steering device for vehicles includes a manual control member that is connected to a pump or the like manually driving it when the control member is rotated. The pump is connected at its delivery and suction side to one of the two chambers of one or more steering actuators through hydraulic pipes, feeding a pressurized fluid alternately to one or the other of the two chambers depending on moving direction, in particular the rotation of the control member. Assist control means for the steering actuators include a hydraulic fluid tank and automatic pumping means, which are driven and connected to the hydraulic pipes when the steering wheel is operated and which, by increasing the amount of pumped fluid, increase the pressure exerted by the pump to reduce resistance when steering the control member. The number of revolutions of the motor driving the automatic pumping means may be adjusted. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20120080850 | WATERPROOFING DEVICE FOR AN ACTUATOR - Device for sealing an actuator includes a drive shaft ( | 04-05-2012 |
| 20120079977 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR A TRIM TAB OF A BOAT - A control device for a trim tab of a boat, includes at least a pair of stabilizers, one for each side of the boat, formed by blades ( | 04-05-2012 |
| 20110030492 | Single control lever for combined control of the throttle of one or more engines and of a reversing gear mechanism - A single lever control for combined control of the throttle of one or more engines, for example of boats, and of a reversing gear mechanism includes a system that alternately couples and uncouples the motion of the lever to the reversing gear driving mechanism and to the members controlling the throttle of the one or more engines as a function of the angular position of the lever. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20100029150 | Single lever control for combined control of the throttle in a marine engine and of a reversing gear - A single lever control for combined control of the throttle in a marine engine and of a reversing gear includes a rocking lever mounted onto a supporting arm, which is connected to an actuator causing a reversing gear to transmit engine motion to a shaft driving a propeller or the like either in the same direction of rotation as the drive shaft or opposite thereto. The supporting arm is also dynamically connected to position sensors sensing the angular position of the lever and generating a signal uniquely related thereto. The signal is transmitted to a controller of a motorized actuator of the engine throttle. The angular displacement of the lever is transmitted to a transducer converting rotary motion into an electric signal uniquely related thereto via a gear drive having an input gear controlled by the supporting arm and an output gear connected to a transducer control shaft. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20090308298 | Steering device for boats - Steering device for boats comprising a through channel passing through the hull of a boat from side to side under the water line, inside which channel there is provided at least a propeller operated by a motor, wherein said motor is housed inside said channel and the propeller is mounted directly on the axle of said motor or by means of a drive placed between said axle of the motor and said propeller. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090277369 | Hinge joint for cylinder actuators of watercraft trim tabs, trim tab and trim tab control system - A joint connecting a cylinder actuator of a trim tab to a watercraft includes a first part couplable to a wall of the watercraft, a second part couplable to the cylinder actuator, a pin coupled to one part and a pin seat formed in the other part. In one embodiment, the seat is defined by a portion of a circular cylindrical surface having an opening on one side. The surface portion has an angular extension larger than 180°, and the pin has a correspondingly cylindrical portion with a laterally flattened surface for introduction into the opening of the pin seat. The opening of the cylindrical pin seat and the flattened portion/s of the pin are in such reciprocal angular positions that the two joint parts are operably connectable and disconnectable by disposing them in a relative angular position, which cannot be attained in the mounted operating condition. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20090179420 | Guide element for the passage of pipes, cables or the like through a wall - A guide element for passing one or more pipes, cables or the like through a wall includes an interposition element between the one or more pipes and the edge of the passage aperture, and an annular clamping flange on one or both sides of the wall. The flange is substantially concentric with the aperture and it is coupled to the wall along an annular perimetric strip surrounding the aperture. The interposition element is an elastic wedging and/or urging element between one or more pipes and the edge of the aperture, and the ring or flange clamps the interposition element in a wedged and/or urged condition. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20090047848 | Control device for sailboats - A control device for boats, particularly sailboats, includes a control member, which regulates the operating conditions of an operating unit such as a motor, and which can be moved along a predetermined path and for a predetermined range between two extreme stop positions. The device is configured to be coupled to a linkage or tie rod system and/or displacement and/or position electric/electronic sensors, such that a movement of the control member causes a corresponding movement of a member regulating the operating unit. The control member includes a handle extension movable between an actuating operative position, in which the handle extension is deployed, and a non-operative position, in which the extension is laid down and/or withdrawn to reduce overall dimensions. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090030567 | Control device for watercrafts - A control device for watercrafts includes a control station having a control lever, a motor, and an actuator coupled to the motor. In one embodiment, the control lever is provided with a sensor for generating a main command signal that corresponds to or is related to a position and/or a displacement of the control lever. The control device further includes control electronics receiving as input at least the main command signal and further having at least a first analog transmission line and a second digital transmission line for transmitting command signals. The control electronics divide the main command signal in two different command signals, a first analog command signal and a second digital command signal, the first analog command signal being sent to the motor through the analog transmission line and/or the second digital command signal being sent to the actuator through the second digital transmission line. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090011666 | Steering Device Particularly for Outboard Marine Engines - A steering device for marine engines, particularly for outboard engines, includes a rod that is sealingly mounted in a cylindrical housing sliding along the rod and that projects out of heads of the cylindrical housing. A piston is secured in a substantially intermediate position on the rod and divides the cylindrical housing in two variable volume chambers. Each of two inlets/outlets is in fluid communication with one of the two chambers through a separated feeding conduit defined inside the rod and both of the feeding conduits, through their inlets/outlets, open at one same end of the rod. | 01-08-2009 |
