GUIDED AND RETRACTABLE MECHANISM WITH A PADDLE WHEEL TO PROPEL THE VESSEL Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC B63H5/04 B63H25/38 B63H1/04 

FIELD: shipbuilding.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the driving mechanisms of the paddle wheel, in particular to the guided and retractable mechanisms of the paddle wheel for the advancement of vessels. The mechanism of movement of the paddle wheel and rudder control contains a frame structure for attaching the mechanism to the vessel; a movement mechanism for vessel propulsion; a mechanism for moving the paddle wheel up and down to move the paddle wheel relative to the waterline of the vessel and a rudder mechanism for controlling the direction of movement of the vessel.

EFFECT: high efficiency of power transmission in the vessel’s movement, high maneuverability, as well as the ability to sail in shallow water are achieved.
