연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

Stepping and un-stepping of a sailboat mast, of the un-stayed type that is supported only by a receptacle configured in the sailboat structure, are facilitated by a hinged core that is easily retrofitted into the foot of the mast. The core includes a two-part locking hinge that, when the mast is elevated up out of the receptacle in process of stepping or un-stepping, serves to keep the mast upright with its base held aligned in location above the receptacle. Then the hinge, located at the foot of the mast, can be unlocked to allow the mast to be tilted down to any desired angle, where it can be easily removed. The system enables one crewmember to easily step or un-step the mast manually on sailboats up to about 30 feet in length, optionally assisted by a small lifting winch that can be rigged on board.

What is claimed is: 1. A mast-inserted hinged-core system for facilitating removal and re-stepping of an un-stayed hollow mast having a lower end stepped into a close-fitting mating receptacle having an open upper end, built into a horizontal region of a sailboat, comprising: a lockable hinged-core, disposed and fitting closely inside a lower end of the mast, having a lower hinge member extending downwardly to a bottom panel of the receptacle and an upper hinge member extending upwardly into the lower end of the mast, the two hinge members being pivotedly attached by a hinge pin located above the horizontal region of the sailboat, and being retained in a mutually collinear relationship by the surrounding mast; and a lock piece of solid material fitting into an opening configured between the two hinge members, made and arranged to be captivated in place when surrounded by the mast, and to bear against the two hinge members in a manner to temporarily inhibit inter-pivoting thereof and to thus retain the collinear relationship even when, for purposes of stepping and un-stepping operations, the mast is elevated to a transitional condition wherein the lower end thereof is located a predetermined distance above the hinge pin with a substantial portion of the upper hinge member surrounded by a lower portion of the mast. 2. A mast-inserted hinged-core system for facilitating removal and re-stepping of an un-stayed hollow mast having a lower end stepped into a close-fitting mating receptacle having an open upper end, built into a horizontal region of a sailboat, comprising: a lockable hinged-core, disposed and fitting closely inside a lower end of the mast, having a lower hinge member extending downwardly to a bottom panel of the receptacle and an upper hinge member extending upwardly into the lower end of the mast, the two hinge members being pivotedly attached by a hinge pin located above the horizontal region of the sailboat, and being retained in a mutually collinear relationship by the surrounding mast; locking means made and arranged to temporarily inhibit inter-pivoting of the hinge members and to thus retain the collinear relationship even when, for purposes of stepping and un-stepping operations, the mast is elevated to a transitional condition wherein the lower end thereof is located a predetermined distance above the hinge pin with a substantial portion of the upper hinge member surrounded by a lower portion of the mast; and support means made and arranged to support the mast temporarily in the elevated transitional condition pending further operation in stepping and un-stepping operations. 3. The hinged-core system as defined in claim 2 wherein said support means comprises a support rod made and arranged to traverse a passageway configured through the upper hinge member in a lower region thereof located above the hinge pin such that the mast can be gravitationally supported by ends of said support rod extending out from the upper hinge member. 4. A method for deploying an un-stayed hollow sailboat mast of a type that is originally made to be stepped in a close-fitting tubular receptacle, with an open upper end, built into a horizontal surface region of a sailboat, wherein procedure for facilitating insertion of the mast into the receptacle comprises the steps of: (1) inserting into the open upper end of the receptacle a lockable hinged-core, sized to fit closely inside a lower end of the mast and configured with (a) a lower hinge member, extending downwardly to a bottom support member of the receptacle and extending upwardly to a hinge point located above the horizontal surface region of the sailboat, (b) an upper hinge member extending upwardly from the lower hinge member and (c) a hinge pin traversing and attaching the two hinge pin members in a pivoted manner that enables the two hinge members to be set to a desired angle there between within a range from 180 degrees, i.e. collinear, to approximately 90 degrees, i.e. perpendicular; (2) setting the upper hinge member to a desired angle relative to the lower hinge member; (3) locating the mast with the lower end thereof located near the upper hinge member; (4) aligning the mast with the upper hinge member: (5) sliding the lower end of the mast onto the upper hinge member to an extent limited by temporary mast support means provided in the upper hinge member; (6) pivoting the mast and the upper hinge member to an upright orientation collinear with the lower hinge member; (7) inserting a lock block in a space configured between the lower hinge member and the upper hinge member in a manner to lock the hinged-core in the collinear condition and prevent further pivoting thereof; (8) removing the temporary mast support means; (9) guiding and allowing the mast to move downwardly so that the lower end thereof enters the receptacle and moves down to enclose the hinged-core and to rest on the bottom support member thereof. 5. The method for deploying an un-stayed tubular mast, as defined in claim 4 wherein the procedure for facilitating insertion of the mast into the receptacle comprises the further discretionary substeps of: (1A) inserting temporary spacing means between the lower hinge member and the receptacle at its upper end to eliminate play and wobble there between and thus temporarily stabilize the mast relative to the receptacle; and (7A) removing said temporary spacing means. 6. The method for deploying an un-stayed tubular mast, as defined in claim 4 wherein the procedure for facilitating insertion of the mast into the receptacle comprises the further discretionary substep of: (7A) removing any temporary spacing means found between the lower hinge member and the receptacle. 7. The method for deploying an un-stayed tubular mast, as defined in claim 4, wherein, after insertion of the mast as defined, procedure for lowering of the mast comprises the steps of: (10) elevating the mast until the lower end thereof is located a predetermined distance above the hinge pin with a substantial portion of the upper hinge member surrounded by a lower portion of the mast; (11) re-deploying the temporary mast support means; (12) lowering the mast to rest on the mast support means; (12) removing the lock block; and (13) inclining the mast, as permitted by pivoting of the upper hinge member about the hinge pin, to a desired lowered location. 8. The method for deploying an un-stayed tubular mast, as defined in claim 6 wherein the procedure for procedure for lowering of the mast comprises the further discretionary substeps of: (10A) inserting a temporary spacing means between the lower hinge member and the receptacle at its upper end to eliminate play and wobble there between and thus temporarily stabilize the mast relative to the receptacle. 9. The method for deploying an un-stayed tubular mast, as defined in claim 6, wherein, after lowering the mast as defined, removing the mast comprises the step of: (14) moving the mast in a direction away from the upper hinge member so as to slide the lower end of the mast off the upper hinge member, thus effecting removal of the mast.
