Abstract

"Precis de la divulgation" Un appareil allant sur la neige et destiné aux loisirs et aux sports, comme moyen alternatif de transport. Il fait appelle à la connaissance des lois qui régissent la façon de manoeuvrer un voilier et à certains principes de mécanique simple: levier, poulies, etc.. Il est composé d'une charpente de forme triangulaire monté sur des skis et muni d'un mat fixe retenu par des cables au centre du triangle. Il est maneuvré par un conducteur qui est dans une position assise. La direction se fait à l'aide d'une barre de direction aux pieds et avec l'aide d'un ski avant large agissant comme gouvernail. Il permet aussi de fixer plusieurs voiles comme: la grande voile le foc, le petit foc et le spinnaker. Par ailleurs il se différencie par le fait qu'il est démontable et transportable) lorsque démonté sur un support à bagage d'auto."Summary of the disclosure" An apparatus going on snow and intended for the leisures and the sports, like alternative means of transport. It calls for knowledge of the laws that govern how to maneuver a sailboat and for certain principles of simple mechanics: lever, pulleys, etc. It is composed of a frame of triangular shape mounted on skis and provided with a fixed mast retained by cables in the center of the triangle. It is operated by a driver who is in a seated position. The steering is done using a steering bar at the feet and with the help of a wide front ski acting as rudder. It also allows to fix several sails like: the mainsail the jib, the small jib and the spinnaker. Furthermore, it is differentiated by the fact that it is removable and transportable) when disassembled on a car luggage rack.

DIVU~GATION

L'invention ~e rattache ~ la cat~gorie de v~hicule sportif et s~apparente au voilier. Il se rapproche du traineau et du ski. C'est un v~hicule toute neige ~
caract~re recr~atif et sportif qui ne fonctionne seulement qu'avec l~aide du vent.

La plupart ~es appareils servants ~ se d~placer sur la neige ~ l'aide du vent se heurtent ~ plusleurs probl~mes.
Ils n>ont pas de volant directionnel per~ettant de diriger l'appareil. Certains ont un mat re~nu seulemnt par la fsrce des bras, ce qui a pour effet de diminuer l'efficaci~ de celui-ci car il en r~sulte une perte d'~nergie. D'autres encore n'ont pas la stabilit~ voulue et risque de chavirer la moindre b~urrasque~ Ce~ es appareils 90nt d~pourvus de syst~e de d~rive et de gouvernall ~t sont par cons~quent ~
la merci des caprices du vent. Sur certalns appare il5 0~ le ~at n~est pas flxe, il est l~possible de ra30uter des voiles et il est de plus tr~s difficile de remonter le vent ~lou-voyer). Enfln quelques apparells ont un skl unique ~ l'avant ce qui peut entralner l'appareil ~ chavirer, Certains sys-t~mes sQnt munis de skis rattach~s ~ une barre horiæontale et droite re qui entraine un bloca~e guant la neige est ~paisse ou quand il y a des petites buttes de nelge.

, 3~'~5~

Je me suis rendu comp~e que ces inconv~nien~s peuvent ~tre surmont~s de fagon efficace par un assemblage de structure 5p~C i a 1 e .

Un si~ye en ~orme d'arc permek de surmonter le~ petltes buttes de neige et d~avancer plus efficacement dans la neige molle. Le probl~e de per~e ~'~nergie est sur~ont6 par l'instalation de cables d'aci~r qui emp~chent tout mouvement du mat, augmentant ainsi l'~nergie utilisable pour la propulsion du voil ier. Pour la direction, le probl~e est r~solu avec un ski large, dit ~ Uorien~ation progressive .
Un s~l gouvernail, qui ~ pour but de diriger le volller de fa~on lente et progressive ~ la mani~re d'un gouvernail de ~ateau. 5e ski gouvernail a la propri~t~ de revenlr en direction droite iorsque la ~arre de direction est libre.
Les skls de c~t~ sont r~glables ~ diff6rents degr~s ce qui permet ~e ne pas d~river. Ils ont co~e fonction de stabiliser et de~supporter l'ensemble du voilier ainsi que d'assurer au voiller le maintient de sa direction ek de son cap. Ils sont donc appel~s ~ski-d~riveU. On choisi l'angle le plus favorable compte tenu du type de neige : sur une neige molle les ski serant horizontau~ et sur une nelge dure les skls seront inclin~s~

DIVU ~ GATION

The invention relates to the category of vehicle sporty and similar to the sailboat. It gets closer to sledding and skiing. It's a snow-covered vehicle ~
recreating and sporty character that only works only with the help of the wind.

Most of the serving devices move around the Snow with the help of the wind collides with several problems.
They do not have a steering wheel capable of steering the device. Some have a mat received only by the fsrce arms, which has the effect of reducing the efficiency of because it results in a loss of energy. Others still do not have the desired stability and risk capsizing the slightest b ~ urrasque ~ This ~ es 90nt devices ~
drift and govern system are therefore thank you for the vagaries of the wind. On certalns appare il5 0 ~ le ~ at is not flxe, it is possible to ra30uter sails and it’s also very difficult to go upwind ~ lou-see). Finally some devices have a single skl at the front which can cause the device to capsize, Some systems t ~ my sQnt equipped with skis attached ~ s ~ a horizontal bar and right re which causes a block before the snow is ~ thick or when there are small nelge mounds.

, 3 ~ '~ 5 ~

I realized that these disadvantages can ~ be overcome ~ s effectively by an assembly of structure 5p ~ C ia 1 e.

A so ~ ye in ~ arc elm permek to overcome the ~ petltes snow mounds and move more efficiently through the snow soft. The problem of energy loss is overwhelmed by installing steel cables that prevent movement mat, thus increasing the energy usable for sailboat propulsion. For management, the problem is solved with a wide ski, said ~ Uorien ~ progressive ation.
A rudder, which aims to steer the volller of slow and progressive way of a rudder ~ ateau. 5th rudder ski owned by revenlr right direction when the ~ arre direction is free.
The side skls are adjustable to different degrees which allows not to d ~ river. They have the function of stabilize and support the whole sailboat as well as to ensure the veil maintains its direction ek its cap. They are therefore called ~ s ~ ski-d ~ riveU. We choose the angle the most favorable considering the type of snow: on a soft snow ski being horizontal ~ and on a hard slope the skls will be inclined ~ s ~

DESCRIPTION

Figure 1 shows ~ an overview of the ~ oilier ~
light snow; Figure 2 shows ~ feel the fixation of cat ~; the Figure 3 shows ~ a longitudinal section of the s ~ i-govern-nail; Figure 4 represents a cross section, seen from front, ski-rudder; Figure 5 shows ~ a section transverse, rear view, of the rudder ski.

Figure 1 shows ~ an overview of the sailboat light snow. It is equipped with a mast 1, a b ~ me, a mainsail 18 ~ fitted with battens 17. The mast is fixed ~ by cables 14 then mounted ~ on a frame ~ using a semi-universal or universal fixing 8. The frame includes the seat ~ arqu ~ 2 on which the driver sits and the central bar 3 which supports the mast ~ The seat arched ~
includes ~ each of its e ~ tr ~ mit ~ s a s ~ i 5 can rotate ~ diff ~ r ~ nts degrees, belts 6 a; ustable for retain the ski, two handles ~ es 13 to hold onto the seat and two tabs 20 to fix the listening cable lg.
The central bar includes at its front end a V-shaped ski rudder 4 "mounted on a single joint versel 28 (fig. 3 ~ and a rudder bar 7 connected ~ to ski-rudder by belts 16. The central bar is fixed to the seat and held in the center by steel cables 15. On the b ~ me are ~ ix ~ pulleys 11, which bO ~ e is fix ~ e at ~ at by a joint called ~ "vie-de-m ~ let" 9.

Figure 2 shows ~ binding the ski 5. A tube 22 in metal serving for the rotation of the ski 5, two slats of metal 25 round the tube and ratach ~ es ~ two logs 23 fitted with bolts 24 used to tighten the lower part arched seat 2. A wooden base 21 attached by two bolts 26 soutie ~ nent the tube 22.

Figure 3 shows a longitudinal section of the rudder ski 4 which is provided with a support 27 and a seal universal 28. The; point A represents the location of the joint -universal 28 with respect to the neutral point of equilibrium static B or point of ~ quiiibrF of movement B.
