  • Patent number: 9840310
    Abstract: A seat module suspension system for a high-speed water vessel including a guide assembly for permitting a range of substantially vertical travel of the seat module, an air shock within the guide assembly for resiliently suspending the seat module; and a support assembly extending for impeding athwart movement of a forward projecting portion of the seat module. The support assembly includes a spar pivotally mounted at one end the base of the guide assembly and pivotally mounted at the other end to a mount attached to the underside of the forward projecting portion and configured to permit fore and aft movement, so as to accommodate substantially vertical movement of the seat module. The system also includes a second air shock connected to the support assembly to impede the fore and aft movement and thus support the forward projecting portion of the seat module.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9422039
    Abstract: A suspension system for passenger modules or marine platforms used with high-speed boats, the suspension system including a shock absorbing assembly, for supporting the marine platform relative to the vessel. The marine platform is attached to the vessel via an assembly of pivoting spars in which the vessel attachment locations are spaced athwart a greater distance than the marine platform, and the attachment of some spars permits relative fore and aft movement between the spars and the marine platform or the vessel to accommodate pitch. The suspension system may include components for attenuating motion associated with roll.

The marine platform is attached to the vessel via an assembly of pivoting spars in which the vessel attachment locations are spaced athwart a greater distance than the marine platform, and the attachment of some spars permits relative fore and all movement between the spars and the marine platform or the vessel to accommodate pitch. The suspension system may include means for attenuating motion associated with roll.
