ACCESSORY DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004014720
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An accessory bracket is provided for mounting an accessory (12), such as a mirror or other instrument, close to the field of vision of a pilot (P) of a boat (B), for instance. The bracket is mounted to a tower (T) or other structure with a mount forming a clamp (20) so that the bracket and an attached accessory are above the lines of sight of the pilot, thereby avoiding obstructing the pilot's view of the environment of the boat. The bracket includes an arm (16) extending from the mount and a post (18) extending from the arm. The mount is adjustable relative to the structure, and the bracket is accordingly adjustable. The accessory is mounted to the post and is adjustable relative to the post such that the accessory may rotate around the post and may pivot relative to the post. The arm may include a hinge (60) for raising and lowering a portion of the arm and the attached post and accessory. These adjustment characteristics allow a pilot to position the accessory in a desired position dependent on the pilot's lines of sight so that the accessory remains close to the pilot's field of vision.
