Abstract

The armature has a retractable flange (1), and two parallel elongated units (2, 3) of predetermined length. The units (2, 3) contact with ground and define two lateral flanges. Two units (4, 5) do not contact with the ground and are arranged at each end of the lateral flanges. The units (4, 5) define front and rear flanges that are constituted of four segments (6-9, 6`-9`). An independent claim is also included for a shelter including an armature.

Description

L'invention concerne une armature gonflable pour abri, du type tente. Elle se rapporte également à un abri comprenant ladite armature.The invention relates to an inflatable armature for shelter, tent type. It also relates to a shelter comprising said armature.

Dans la suite de l'invention, l'armature gonflable est plus spécifiquement décrite en relation avec la réalisation d'abris pour assurer la protection immédiate des victimes de la voie publique, que ce soient les accidentés de la route ou encore les individus blessés à la suite d'explosions, catastrophes naturelles ou autres.In the rest of the invention, the inflatable armature is more specifically described in connection with the construction of shelters to provide immediate protection for the victims of public roads, be it the road accident victims or the injured individuals at the time. following explosions, natural disasters or others.

Plus particulièrement, la structure de l'invention est destinée à pouvoir disposer, sur le lieu de l'accident même, en un temps très court, d'un abri permettant de protéger un nombre limité de personnes, en pratique deux à trois, respectivement le blessé proprement dit ainsi que le personnel soignant (pompiers, infirmières, médecins ou autres).More particularly, the structure of the invention is intended to be able to have, at the place of the accident itself, in a very short time, a shelter to protect a limited number of people, in practice two to three, respectively the injured person as well as the nursing staff (firefighters, nurses, doctors or others).

Les contraintes posées sont donc liées à la facilité de la mise en oeuvre de l'abri en terme de montage, mais également en terme de poids.The constraints are therefore related to the ease of implementation of the shelter in terms of assembly, but also in terms of weight.

Des tentes comportant une armature gonflable ont déjà été décrites. C'est par exemple le cas du document US-A-5 247 768, qui décrit un abri comprenant une armature gonflable délimitant le périmètre de l'abri proprement dit ainsi que chacune des faces. En outre, pour maintenir la structure rigide, chacune des faces avant et arrière est maintenue en position par l'adjonction de trois montants horizontaux et parallèles. En pratique, le montage est effectué en trois étapes, respectivement tout d'abord le gonflage de la structure gonflable, puis la fixation des montants horizontaux, et enfin la mise en place de la toile. Un tel montage est de toute évidence incompatible avec une intervention rapide.Tents with an inflatable frame have already been described. This is for example the case of US-A-5 247 768, which describes a shelter comprising an inflatable frame defining the perimeter of the shelter itself and each of the faces. In addition, to maintain the rigid structure, each of the front and rear faces is held in position by the addition of three horizontal and parallel amounts. In practice, the assembly is carried out in three steps, respectively first inflating the inflatable structure, then fixing the horizontal uprights, and finally the establishment of the canvas. Such an arrangement is obviously incompatible with rapid intervention.

Le document US-A-4 197 681 décrit une structure du même type que celle précédemment décrite, si ce n'est qu'elle ne comporte pas de montant parallèle assurant le maintien de la face avant et de la face arrière en position. En réalité, ces montants sont remplacés par des renforts situés en avant des faces avant et arrière, en appui sur le sol. Ces renforts sont réalisés dans le prolongement des deux boudins latéraux reposant sur le sol et gonflés avec l'ensemble. Si cette structure remplit certainement les conditions de rigidité nécessaire au maintien de la toile proprement dite, en revanche, la présence d'un montant divisant les faces avant et arrière en deux parties empêche d'accéder facilement sous l'abri.Document US-A-4 197 681 describes a structure of the same type as that previously described, except that it does not include a parallel upright ensuring the maintenance of the front face and the rear face in position. In reality, these amounts are replaced by reinforcements located in front of the front and rear faces, resting on the ground. These reinforcements are made in the extension of the two lateral rolls resting on the ground and inflated with the assembly. While this structure certainly meets the rigidity requirements necessary to maintain the canvas itself, however, the presence of an amount dividing the front and rear sides in two parts prevents easy access under the shelter.

Le document GB-A-2 190 408 décrit une armature gonflable pour abri, constituée exclusivement d'un boudin gonflable délimitant les deux côtés ainsi que les faces avant et arrière de l'abri.GB-A-2 190 408 discloses an inflatable shelter frame, consisting exclusively of an inflatable bead delimiting the two sides as well as the front and rear faces of the shelter.

En d'autres termes, le problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est de développer un abri rigide, qui puisse être monté en un temps très court, et accessible facilement.In other words, the problem to be solved by the invention is to develop a rigid shelter, which can be mounted in a very short time, and easily accessible.

Pour résoudre ce problème, le Demandeur a réalisé une armature rigide gonflable, dénuée cependant de tout renfort des faces avant et arrière.To solve this problem, the Applicant has made a rigid inflatable armature, however, no reinforcement of the front and rear faces.

Plus précisément, l'invention concerne une armature gonflable pour abri, du type tente, constituée exclusivement d'un boudin gonflable délimitant les deux côtés ainsi que les faces avant et arrière de l'abri.More specifically, the invention relates to an inflatable armature for shelter, the tent type, consisting exclusively of an inflatable bead delimiting the two sides and the front and rear of the shelter.

Cette armature se caractérise en ce que le boudin est constitué de quatre éléments situés dans le prolongement les uns des autres, lesdits éléments étant, lorsqu'ils sont gonflés, parallèles deux à deux respectivement :

  • deux éléments rectilignes de même longueur destinés à être en contact avec le sol et définissant les deux côtés, dénommés par la suite boudins latéraux ;
  • deux éléments de même longueur non en contact avec le sol, agencés à chacune des extrémités des boudins latéraux définissant les faces avant et arrière, désignés par la suite boudins avant et arrière.
This reinforcement is characterized in that the coil consists of four elements located in the extension of each other, said elements being, when inflated, parallel two by two respectively:
  • two rectilinear elements of the same length intended to be in contact with the ground and defining the two sides, hereinafter referred to as lateral strands;
  • two elements of the same length not in contact with the ground, arranged at each end of the lateral flanges defining the front and rear faces, hereinafter referred to as the front and rear flanges.

En d'autres termes, l'armature ne comporte plus que quatre éléments en lieu et place des six éléments de l'armature décrite dans le document US-4 197 681, permettant ainsi de résoudre l'ensemble des problèmes de rigidité et de facilité d'accès évoqués précédemment.In other words, the frame has only four elements instead of the six elements of the frame described in US-4 197 681, thus solving all the problems of rigidity and ease previously mentioned.

Selon une première caractéristique, les boudins latéraux forment avec les boudins avant et arrière, un angle compris entre 90 et 100°, avantageusement égal à 95°.According to a first feature, the lateral flanges form with the front and rear flanges, an angle of between 90 and 100 °, preferably equal to 95 °.

Pour permettre un accès facile tout en limitant au maximum l'espace occupé par l'abri, la longueur des boudins avant et arrière est comprise entre 300 et 400 centimètres, avantageusement égale à 350 centimètres.To allow easy access while limiting as much as possible the space occupied by the shelter, the length of the front and rear rolls is between 300 and 400 centimeters, advantageously equal to 350 centimeters.

Pour disposer d'une rigidité satisfaisante, les boudins avant et arrière sont constitués de quatre segments soudés bout à bout. En pratique, les premier et quatrième boudins ont une longueur identique comprise entre 900 et 1 200 mm, avantageusement égale à 980 mm. Parallèlement, les troisième et quatrième segments ont une longueur identique comprise entre 700 et 800 mm, avantageusement 770 mm.To have a satisfactory rigidity, the front and rear rolls consist of four segments welded end to end. In practice, the first and fourth strands have an identical length of between 900 and 1200 mm, advantageously equal to 980 mm. In parallel, the third and fourth segments have an identical length of between 700 and 800 mm, advantageously 770 mm.

De même, l'angle entre chaque segment constitutif des boudins avant et arrière est compris entre 130° et 140°, avantageusement égal à 135°.Similarly, the angle between each constituent segment of the front and rear flanges is between 130 ° and 140 °, preferably equal to 135 °.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le boudin unique a un diamètre constant. En pratique, ce diamètre est compris entre 10 et 20 centimètres, avantageusement égal à 15 centimètres.According to another characteristic, the single coil has a constant diameter. In practice, this diameter is between 10 and 20 centimeters, advantageously equal to 15 centimeters.

De manière à permettre à l'individu accidenté de pouvoir s'étendre sous la structure, la longueur des boudins latéraux est comprise avantageusement entre 90 et 150 centimètres, avantageusement égale à 120 centimètres.In order to allow the injured individual to be able to extend under the structure, the length of the lateral strands is advantageously between 90 and 150 centimeters, advantageously equal to 120 centimeters.

Pour maintenir l'armature en position, le boudin est gonflé à une pression comprise entre 200 et 500 grammes, avantageusement égale à 300 grammes. Pour ce faire, l'armature comporte au moins un embout de gonflage.To maintain the armature in position, the coil is inflated to a pressure of between 200 and 500 grams, preferably equal to 300 grams. To do this, the armature comprises at least one inflation nozzle.

Par ailleurs, l'armature est réalisée en PVC souple d'épaisseur 50/100, bien que toute autre matière équivalente puisse être également envisagée.In addition, the frame is made of soft PVC 50/100 thick, although any other equivalent material can also be considered.

L'invention concerne bien entendu un abri du type tente qui se caractérise en ce qu'il comprend l'armature telle que décrite précédemment associée à une toile destinée à recouvrir ladite armature.The invention of course relates to a shelter tent type which is characterized in that it comprises the frame as described above associated with a fabric for covering said frame.

En pratique, la toile est appliquée sur l'armature après gonflage de cette dernière, et solidarisée à celle-ci par simple pliage autour des boudins.In practice, the fabric is applied to the armature after inflation of the latter, and secured to it by simply folding around the beads.

L'abri occupe donc un volume de rangement minimum correspondant à l'espace occupé par l'armature et la toile une fois pliées.The shelter therefore occupies a minimum storage volume corresponding to the space occupied by the frame and the fabric once folded.

Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, la toile se présente sous forme rectangulaire, les faces avant et arrière de l'abri n'étant pas recouvertes.In an advantageous embodiment, the fabric is in rectangular form, the front and rear faces of the shelter are not covered.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, l'invention concerne un abri du type tente, qui se caractérise en ce qu'il comprend une armature constituée d'un boudin gonflable de diamètre égal à 15 centimètres, formé de quatre éléments situés dans le prolongement les uns des autres, les éléments étant, lorsqu'ils sont gonflés, parallèles deux à deux, à savoir :

  • deux éléments rectilignes de longueur égale à 120 centimètres, destinés à être en contact avec le sol et définissant les deux côtés ;
  • deux éléments définissant les faces avant et arrière, non en contact avec le sol, de longueur égale à 350, et constitués chacun de quatre segments formant entre eux un angle de 135 degrés, respectivement un premier et quatrième segment de taille égale à 970 mm et un second et troisième segment de taille égale à 770 mm, lesdits éléments étant agencés à chacune des extrémités des boudins latéraux ;
  • un film plastique destiné à recouvrir l'armature pour former un abri.
In a preferred embodiment, the invention relates to a shelter tent type, which is characterized in that it comprises an armature consisting of an inflatable ring of diameter equal to 15 centimeters, formed of four elements located in the extension of the one of the others, the elements being, when inflated, parallel two by two, namely:
  • two rectilinear elements of length equal to 120 centimeters, intended to be in contact with the ground and defining the two sides;
  • two elements defining the front and rear faces, not in contact with the ground, of length equal to 350, and each consisting of four segments forming between them an angle of 135 degrees, respectively a first and fourth segment of size equal to 970 mm and a second and third segment of size equal to 770 mm, said elements being arranged at each end of the lateral flanges;
  • a plastic film intended to cover the frame to form a shelter.

L'invention et les avantages qui en découlent ressortiront bien des exemples de réalisation, à l'appui des figures annexées.

  • La figure 1 est une représentation schématique de l'armature gonflable pour abri de l'invention.
  • La figure 2 est une représentation d'un abri constitué de l'armature et d'une toile.
The invention and the advantages resulting therefrom will emerge from exemplary embodiments, in support of the appended figures.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the inflatable armature for shelter of the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a representation of a shelter consisting of the frame and a canvas.

Conformément à l'invention, l'armature pour abri est une armature gonflable constituée d'un boudin unique (1).According to the invention, the shelter frame is an inflatable frame consisting of a single coil (1).

Plus précisément, cette armature comprend quatre éléments, respectivement deux éléments rectilignes (2) et (3) parallèles, de longueur égale à 120 centimètres, définissant les deux côtés et destinés à être en contact avec le sol (boudins latéraux), et deux éléments (4) et (5), également de même longueur (350 cm), parallèles entre eux, définissant les faces avant et faces arrière appelées boudins avant et arrière.More precisely, this reinforcement comprises four elements, respectively two rectilinear elements (2) and (3) parallel, of length equal to 120 centimeters, defining the two sides and intended to be in contact with the ground (lateral strands), and two elements (4) and (5), also of the same length (350 cm), parallel to each other, defining the front and rear faces called front and rear rolls.

Comme le montre la figure et selon une caractéristique essentielle, les boudins avant et arrière ne sont pas en contact avec le sol de manière à permettre un accès facile dans l'abri.As shown in the figure and according to an essential characteristic, the front and rear rolls are not in contact with the ground so as to allow easy access into the shelter.

Pour maintenir les boudins avant et arrière verticaux en position gonflée, ces derniers forment un angle de 95° avec les boudins latéraux.To maintain the vertical front and rear rolls in the inflated position, these form an angle of 95 ° with the side rolls.

Par ailleurs, et selon une autre caractéristique, les boudins avant et arrière sont constitués de quatre segments, respectivement (6, 7, 8, 9) et (6', 7', 8', 9'), et formant entre eux un angle de 135 degrés. Plus précisément, les segments (7, 8) ont une longueur égale à 770 mm et les segments (6, 9) une longueur égale à 980 mm.Furthermore, and according to another characteristic, the front and rear rolls consist of four segments, respectively (6, 7, 8, 9) and (6 ', 7', 8 ', 9'), and forming between them a angle of 135 degrees. More precisely, the segments (7, 8) have a length equal to 770 mm and the segments (6, 9) have a length equal to 980 mm.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le boudin a un diamètre constant égal à 15 centimètres. Il est en pratique réalisé en PVC souple 50/100 et gonflé à une pression de 300 grammes par le biais du point de gonflage (10) situé sur le boudin latéral (2). Une fois l'armature gonflée, celle-ci reçoit une toile (11) rectangulaire, simplement déposée. Pour éviter que la toile ne s'envole, les côtés de la toile (11) sont enroulés autour des boudins avant et arrière (4, 5).According to another characteristic of the invention, the coil has a constant diameter equal to 15 centimeters. It is in practice made of soft PVC 50/100 and inflated to a pressure of 300 grams through the inflation point (10) located on the lateral flange (2). Once the armature inflated, it receives a web (11) rectangular, simply deposited. To avoid that the canvas flies away, the sides of the fabric (11) are wrapped around the front and rear rolls (4, 5).

Ces abris présentent l'avantage d'être très facilement montés. Cette rapidité de montage présente un intérêt tout particulier pour assurer la protection des victimes de la voie publique. En effet, la structure gonflable qui, à l'état repliée, présente une taille très faible, pourra être déployée par les pompiers ou ambulanciers sur le lieu de l'intervention en un temps limité.These shelters have the advantage of being very easily mounted. This speed of assembly is of particular interest to ensure the protection of victims of public roads. Indeed, the inflatable structure which, in the folded state, has a very small size, can be deployed by firefighters or ambulance at the place of intervention in a limited time.
