Abstract

The invention relates to a device which makes it possible to propel sailboard-type floating boards, canoes and dinghies, by means of a propeller, the rotation of which is caused by the action of a pedal and gear mechanism which the seated user causes to turn. It consists of a floating board 1 provided with an adjustable seat 6 and with a pedal and gear mechanism 2. The rotation of the pedal and gear mechanism 2 makes the shaft 4 turn, at the end of which the propeller 5 is fixed. A rudder 7 makes it possible to steer the craft. The device according to the invention is intended in particular for nautical sport and light navigation.

Description

La présente invention concerne un engin de sport nautique et de navigation pouvant servir à la locomotion sur tout plan d'eau ou en mer. The present invention relates to a nautical sport and navigation device which can be used for locomotion on any body of water or at sea.

De nombreux appareils font appel à la voile, ce qui nécessite obligatoirement du vent et d'autant plus d'habileté que le vent est fort. Many devices use sailing, which necessarily requires wind and all the more skill when the wind is strong.

D'autres engins utilisent les pagaies ou les rames encombrantes, ou les roues à aubes dont le rendement est faible par rapport à l'effort fourni.Other machines use bulky paddles or oars, or paddlewheels whose efficiency is low compared to the effort provided.

L'invention consiste à fournir à une planche flottante légère, ou à un canoë ou canot, une propulsion aisée et efficace ne nécessitant pas W savoir-faire particulier. The invention consists in providing a light floating board, or a canoe or canoe, with easy and efficient propulsion which does not require any particular know-how.

A cet effet, conformément à l'invention, l'engin est constitué d'une planche flottante (du type planche à voile), ou d'un canoë ou canot, comportant un siège réglable et un pédalier entraînant la rotation d'un axe muni d'une hélice à son extrémité arrière, Fig. 1 et 2. L'utilisateur, assis sur le siège, pédale et propulse la planche ou le canoë ou canot avec aisance, le rapport vis-sans-fin/roue étant calculé de manière à permettre une vitesse de rotation élevée de l'hélice. To this end, in accordance with the invention, the machine consists of a floating board (of the windsurfing type), or of a canoe or canoe, comprising an adjustable seat and a pedals driving the rotation of an axis. fitted with a propeller at its rear end, Fig. 1 and 2. The user, seated on the seat, pedals and propels the board or canoe or canoe with ease, the worm-wheel / wheel ratio being calculated so as to allow a high rotation speed of the propeller .

Un gouvernail, à l'arrière, muni de cordelettes, permets de diriger l'engin à volonté. A rudder, at the back, fitted with cords, allows you to steer the machine at will.

Un tel engin peut être prévu pour deux personnes ou plus, les dimensions de la planche, du canoë ou du canot, pouvant varier en conséquence, et être muni de deux pédaliers ou plus. Such a machine can be provided for two or more people, the dimensions of the board, canoe or canoe, which can vary accordingly, and be provided with two or more pedal boards.

Les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemple, illustrent l'invention pour en assurer une meilleure compréhension. The accompanying drawings, given by way of example, illustrate the invention to ensure a better understanding of it.

La Figure 1 est une vue latérale d'une planche à voile munie d'un dispositif suivant l'invention. Figure 1 is a side view of a windsurf board provided with a device according to the invention.

La Figure 2 est une vue latérale d'un canoë ou canot muni d'un dispositif suivant l'invention. Figure 2 is a side view of a canoe or canoe provided with a device according to the invention.

La Figure 3 est une vue latérale d'une planche à voile munie d'un dispositif suivant l'invention comportant une variante dans la transmission de la rotation du pédalier. Figure 3 is a side view of a windsurf board provided with a device according to the invention comprising a variant in the transmission of the rotation of the bottom bracket.

La Figure 4 est une vue en plan d'une planche à voile munie d'un dispositif suivant l'invention. Figure 4 is a plan view of a windsurf board provided with a device according to the invention.

L'engin, suivant l'invention, est constitué d'une planche flottante légère 1, du type planche à voile, sur laquelle est fixé un siège réglable 6 sur des glissières 8 ainsi qu'un pédalier 2. Le pédalier 2 entraine dans un boîtier 10 une vis-sans-fin et une roue faisant tour ner un axe incliné 4 qui traverse la planche 1, maintenu par un palier 11, et provoque la rotation de l'hélice 5 fixée à son extrémité arrière. The machine according to the invention consists of a light floating board 1, of the windsurfing type, on which is fixed an adjustable seat 6 on slides 8 as well as a crankset 2. The crankset 2 drives in a housing 10 an endless screw and a wheel rotating an inclined axis 4 which crosses the board 1, held by a bearing 11, and causes the rotation of the propeller 5 fixed at its rear end.

L'engin peut être éventuellement muni d'une dérive pour assure davantage de stabilité. The machine can be optionally fitted with a fin to provide more stability.

Dans une variante de l'invention, la planche flottante 1 est remplacée par un canoë ou un canot 1. Dans ce cas, le pédalier 2 entraine un axe vertical 9 qui, par un jeu de pignons 3 fait tourner l'axe horizontal 4, maintenu par un palier 12 et un presse-étoupe 13 qui assure l'étanchéité. In a variant of the invention, the floating board 1 is replaced by a canoe or a canoe 1. In this case, the crankset 2 drives a vertical axis 9 which, by a set of pinions 3 rotates the horizontal axis 4, maintained by a bearing 12 and a cable gland 13 which provides sealing.

Un gouvernail 7, à l'arrière, muni de cordelettes, permet de diriger l'engin à volonté. A rudder 7, at the rear, fitted with cords, makes it possible to steer the machine at will.

L'engin peut être prévu pour deux personnes ou plus et comporter deux sièges 6 ou plus et deux pédaliers 2 ou plus. The machine can be provided for two or more people and include two seats 6 or more and two pedals 2 or more.

Rien ne s'oppose à ce que la planche à voile reprenne sa destination première, le siège 6, le pédalier 2, l'hélice 5 et le gouvernail 7 pouvant être facilement démontables. Seules les glissières 8 et le palier 1S restent fixés à demeure ou incrustés dans la planche.  There is nothing to prevent the windsurfing board from returning to its original destination, the seat 6, the crankset 2, the propeller 5 and the rudder 7 being able to be easily dismantled. Only the slides 8 and the bearing 1S remain permanently fixed or embedded in the board.
