CA 2751680

A watercraft cockpit includes a floor, sidewalls and forward and rearward bulkheads. A frame assembly having tour corners supports the cockpit and includes an upper frame and a lower frame that are rotatably connected to one another. A pair of shock-absorbing members is provided at each of the four corners of the frame so that the entire cockpit is isolated from shocks. By cushioning the entire cockpit as a whole, the need for individual shock-absorbing seats is obviated. The walls of the cockpit are spaced apart from the sidewalls of the watercraft and are interconnected to the sidewall of the watercraft by a flexible member so that the sidewalls of the watercraft move up and down in response to shocks independently of the walls of the cockpit. Each shock-absorbing member preferably includes an airbag and a dashpot but other shock-absorbing members are within the scope of the invention.

L'invention porte sur un cockpit d'embarcation, qui comprend un plancher, des parois latérales et des cloisons avant et arrière. Un ensemble cadre ayant quatre coins supporte le cockpit, et comprend un cadre supérieur et un cadre inférieur qui sont reliés en rotation l'un à l'autre. Une paire d'éléments absorbant les chocs est disposée à chacun des quatre coins du cadre, de telle sorte que la totalité du cockpit est isolée des chocs. Par l'amortissement de la totalité du cockpit dans son ensemble, le besoin pour des sièges absorbant les chocs individuels est évité. Les parois du cockpit sont espacées des parois latérales de l'embarcation et sont interconnectées à la paroi latérale de l'embarcation par un élément souple, de telle sorte que les parois latérales de l'embarcation se déplacent vers le haut et vers le bas en réponse à des chocs, indépendamment des parois du cockpit. Chaque élément absorbant les chocs comprend, de préférence, un coussin de sécurité gonflable et un amortisseur, mais d'autres éléments absorbant les chocs font partie du cadre de l'invention.
