로잉 구동방식 응용 레저용 소형 패들보트 디자인

Unlike overland travel facilities, water leisure facility location environment conditions mostly are inaccessible and unfavorable for mobility-impaired people. This is because leisure facility environments and appropriate water leisure facilities are not established to meet the characteristics of mobility-impaired people, who are either physically disabled or use mobility aids. This study aims to propose a small leisure paddle boat for mobility-impaired people who can hardly participate in water leisure activities. To that end, this study observed and surveyed the use situations of the existing popular water leisure mode, "duck boat"(pedal-driven duck-shaped boat), and surveyed similar overseas products to identity their standards, driving principles, convenience, etc. Thus the survey results were referred to in the basic specifications of the proposed boat body. Further, based on the universal design concept, an original power train was developed using the propelling principle of rowing boats. For its characteristics, the driving train can be driven only in one direction according to the rider's physical position and convenience when the front passenger performs propelling action, using his or her hands and feet. In addition, the wheel-chaired passenger in the rear space of the boat can have the pleasure of participating in driving the boat, using his or her hands and arms alone, together with the front passenger.
