OUTBOARD MOTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18189754 titled 'OUTBOARD MOTOR
The abstract describes an outboard motor for watercraft, consisting of a housing main body, a propulsion device, a lower case, an upper cover, a motor, and an outer shell.
- The housing main body is attached to the hull of the watercraft and can be tilted upward.
- The propulsion device is connected to the lower part of the housing main body.
- The lower case is located on the upper part of the housing main body.
- The upper cover is fixed to the lower case and forms a motor chamber.
- The motor is housed in the motor chamber and drives the propulsion device.
- The outer shell covers the upper cover and includes an opening for accessing the grip portion of the outboard motor.
Potential Applications: - Marine transportation - Recreational boating - Fishing industry
Problems Solved: - Provides a reliable and efficient propulsion system for watercraft - Allows for easy access to the motor for maintenance and repairs
Benefits: - Improved maneuverability on the water - Enhanced performance and efficiency - Simplified maintenance procedures
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Outboard Motor Technology for Enhanced Watercraft Performance" This technology can be used in various commercial applications such as boat manufacturing, marine tourism, and water sports equipment.
