Abstract

The self inflated lifeboat is a self contained sailing craft. The boat is compressed air inflated and housed in a metal container (2). This also serves as keel. The container mouth is a hollow metal cylinder. At the base of this, four horizontal arms (4,5) branch out, formed by telescopic rods. On pneumatic expulsion a fifth vertical arm (3), also of telescopic rods, rises from the cylinder. The four arms form jaws to hold the hull (1) along its outside. The cylinder is joined to the boat air chamber by a flexible pipe (8).

Description

La présente demande de brevet pour invention industrielle concerne un canot de sauvetage, à auto-gonflage, équipé de manière à permettre une navigation à voile, autonome.The present patent application for industrial invention relates to a self-inflating lifeboat, equipped so as to allow autonomous sailing.

Les canots pneumatiques de sauvetage dont sont habituellement munis les embarcations de plaisance, qui ne peuvent être munis de chaloupes, se composent de canots à auto-gonflage, qui ne permettent aucune navigation autonome et qui sont donc destinés à aller à la dérive.The inflatable lifeboats which are usually fitted to pleasure craft, which cannot be fitted with rowboats, consist of self-inflating boats, which do not allow any autonomous navigation and which are therefore intended to go adrift.

Les embarcations à »auto-gonflage« ainsi faites ne sont autre donc, que des stations flottantes, où les naufragés peuvent survivre dans l'attente des secours.The “self-inflating” boats thus made are none other than floating stations, where the shipwrecked can survive while waiting for help.

Une embarcation de sauvetage à auto-gonflage selon le preambule de la revendication 1 est connue du GB-A-556 656. Afinde predisposer cette embarcation aux conditions de navigation à voile, il est necessaire d'effectuer des préparations manuelles.A self-inflating lifeboat according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from GB-A-556 656. In order to predispose this boat to sailing conditions, it is necessary to carry out manual preparations.

Le but de la présente invention est de projeter et réaliser une embarcation à auto-gonflage de sauvetage, destinée surtout aux embarcations de plaisance, équipée de manière à permettre une navigation à voile, autonome.The object of the present invention is to plan and produce a self-inflating lifeboat, intended especially for pleasure craft, equipped so as to allow sailing, autonomous.

Le but ultérieur de l'invention est de rendre complètement automatique l'opération nécés- saire à prédisposer l'embarcation aux conditions de naviguer, sans aucune intervention manuelle externe.The subsequent object of the invention is to make the operation necessary to predispose the boat fully automatic to the conditions of navigation, without any external manual intervention.

L'embarcation selon l'invention consiste essentiellement en un canot à auto-gonflage par l'intermédiaire de l'air comprimé qui, au lieu d'être contenu dans la bonbonne cylindrique traditionnelle, se trouve dans un réservoir métallique aux dimensions et forme opportunes, de manière à pouvoir servir de quille de dérive.The boat according to the invention essentially consists of a self-inflating canoe by means of compressed air which, instead of being contained in the traditional cylindrical cylinder, is located in a metal tank of suitable size and shape. , so that it can be used as a fin keel.

L'embouchure du réservoir ainsi conçu se compose d'un corps cylindrique, creux, à axe vertical, à la base duquel se ramifient en étoile, en croix, quatre bras horizontaux, formés de tiges téléscopiques, à expulsion pneumatique.The mouth of the reservoir thus designed consists of a cylindrical body, hollow, with a vertical axis, at the base of which branch into a star, cross, four horizontal arms, formed of telescopic rods, with pneumatic expulsion.

Un cinquième bras dépasse la partie supérieure du corps cylindrique susdit, lui aussi formé de tiges téléscopiques, à explusion pneumatique.A fifth arm protrudes from the upper part of the above-mentioned cylindrical body, also formed of telescopic rods, with pneumatic explosion.

La tige extrême de chacun des quatre bras horizontaux susdits est reliée par charnière, à la pointe, à la base d'un cercle plat, qui, lorsque le canot est gonflé, adhère parfaitement et fortement à la surface externe de la cambre d'air, tubulaire, de l'embarcation.The end rod of each of the above four horizontal arms is connected by hinge, at the tip, to the base of a flat circle, which, when the boat is inflated, adheres perfectly and strongly to the external surface of the air camber , tubular, of the boat.

Afin de fournir l'explication la plus claire, la discription de l'invention se poursuit en se référant aux dessins en annexe, reportés uniquement à titre d'exemple, non limitatif, et où on a représenté une forme préférée de réalisation de l'invention.In order to provide the clearest explanation, the description of the invention continues with reference to the appended drawings, given only by way of example, non-limiting, and in which a preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown. invention.

Le dessin n. 1 représente le canot selon l'invention.Drawing n. 1 shows the boat according to the invention.

En référence au dessin susdit, l'invention consiste en une embarcation (1), à auto-gonflage, ayant une forme allongée, munie d'une quille de dérive (2), et d'un arbre central (3), rendu stable grâce à un châssis stabilisant de base, qui se compose d'une paire de bras longitudinaux (4) et une paire de bras transversaux (5), reliés et arrêtés chacun à un cercle métallique (6), qui borde extérieurement la chambre d'air tubulaire du canot.With reference to the above-mentioned drawing, the invention consists of a self-inflating boat (1), having an elongated shape, provided with a fin keel (2), and a central shaft (3), made stable. thanks to a basic stabilizing frame, which consists of a pair of longitudinal arms (4) and a pair of transverse arms (5), each connected and stopped to a metallic circle (6), which externally borders the chamber tubular air from the boat.

L'arbre (3) et les bras stabilisants (5) et (5) se composent de tiges téléscopiques, à expulsion pneumatique.The shaft (3) and the stabilizing arms (5) and (5) consist of telescopic rods, with pneumatic expulsion.

L'arbre (3) ressort d'un corps cylindrique creux, métallique, à axe vertical, (7), à la base duquel se ramifient extérieurement les paires de bras horizontaux, (4) et (5), susdits.The shaft (3) emerges from a hollow cylindrical body, metallic, with a vertical axis, (7), at the base of which the pairs of horizontal arms, (4) and (5), mentioned above, branch out.

Le corps cylindrique (7) constitue pratiquement l'embouchure d'un poumon métallique profilé (2) qui sert de réservoir d'air comprimé et de quille de dérive.The cylindrical body (7) practically constitutes the mouth of a profiled metal lung (2) which serves as a reservoir of compressed air and of a drift keel.

La chambre interne du cylindre (7) peut être mise en communication, en ouvrant une valve opportune, avec le réservoir (2), de manière à provoquer l'expulsion de l'arbre (3) et des bras (4), après quoi suit la phase d'auto-gonflage du canot (1), grâce à un petit tube (8) qui relie le corps cylindrique (7) à la chambre d'air tubulaire de l'embarcation.The internal chamber of the cylinder (7) can be placed in communication, by opening a suitable valve, with the reservoir (2), so as to cause the expulsion of the shaft (3) and of the arms (4), after which follows the self-inflating phase of the boat (1), thanks to a small tube (8) which connects the cylindrical body (7) to the tubular air chamber of the boat.

Des valves opportunément tarées permettent la succession désirée des différentes phases d'operation.Appropriately calibrated valves allow the desired succession of different phases of operation.

On fait noter que sur chaque cercle (6) se fixe une bobine (9) d'où l'on peut dérouler, en dominant l'action d'un ressort de rappel, le hauban (10) attaché à l'une des tiges extrêmes de l'arbre téléscopique (3).It should be noted that on each circle (6) is fixed a coil (9) from which one can unwind, by dominating the action of a return spring, the stay (10) attached to one of the rods ends of the telescopic shaft (3).

L'expulsion de ce dernier comporte donc également le déroulement automatique des quatre haubans (10).The expulsion of the latter therefore also includes the automatic unwinding of the four shrouds (10).

Selon une forme préférée de réalisation, l'invention prévoit également un ultérieur bras vertical, à axe téléscopique, à commande manuelle de expulsion pneumatique, qui à partir du fond du corps cylindrique (7) descend en profondeur, en glissant dans un interstice qui traverse le réservoir verticalement.According to a preferred embodiment, the invention also provides a subsequent vertical arm, with telescopic axis, with manual pneumatic expulsion control, which from the bottom of the cylindrical body (7) descends in depth, sliding in an interstice which passes through the tank vertically.

Ce dernier bras, opportunément lesté, offre encore plus de stabilité et de sécurité à la navigation dans le cas de mer agitée et de vent fort, en évitant même le renversement de la coque.This last arm, conveniently weighted, offers even more stability and safety to navigation in the event of rough sea and strong wind, avoiding even the overturning of the hull.

Lorsque le canot est dégonflé, la chambre d'air tubulaire se trouve à être pliée et entourant le réservoir d'air comprimé (2) et tous les bras télescopiques se trouvent repliés, et l'encombrement total est donc vraiment limité. à tel point qu'il peut être conditionné dans une petite valise ou baril, tout comme les autres embarcations de sauvetage à auto-gonflage qui sont actuellement en commerce.When the boat is deflated, the tubular air chamber is folded and surrounding the compressed air tank (2) and all the telescopic arms are folded, and the total size is therefore really limited. so much so that it can be packaged in a small suitcase or barrel, just like the other self-inflating lifeboats that are currently on the market.

A ce propos, on fait noter que les cercles métalliques (6) se composent de deux mâchoires reliées par charnières, de manière à réduire l'encombrement une fois que la chambre d'air est dégonflée.In this regard, it should be noted that the metal circles (6) consist of two jaws connected by hinges, so as to reduce the bulk once the air chamber is deflated.

L'ouverture du récipient de contitionnement susdit, jeté en mer, provoque automatiquement l'ouverture de la valve d'étanchéité entre le réservoir (2) et le corps cylindrique (7), avec l'auto-gonflage conséquent de l'embarcation et sa prédisposition à la navigation.The opening of the containment container above, thrown into the sea, automatically causes the opening of the sealing valve between the tank (2) and the cylindrical body (7), with the consequent self-inflation of the boat and its predisposition for navigation.

Il est entendu que la présente description se réfère à une forme préférée de réalisation de l'invention, en omettant des détails de construction concernant les formes de la coque ainsi que de la partie pneumatique, vu que ces détails ne sont pas indispensables à la compréhension de l'invention en question et qu'ils seront facilement mis en oeuvre par des experts du secteur selon les techniques et les technologies habituelles.It is understood that the present description refers to a preferred embodiment of the invention, omitting construction details concerning the shapes of the shell as well as of the pneumatic part, since these details are not essential for understanding of the invention in question and that they will be easily implemented by sector experts according to the usual techniques and technologies.
