Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stabilizing device for windsurfing.
  • Windsurfing is currently a well-known sport that attracts many athletes who want to practice an aquatic sport using an inexpensive, light, easily transportable and easy-to-maintain machine.
  • the management of a windsurf board calls on techniques and reflexes completely different from those used on classic sailboats.
  • the mast is mobile and the sail fixed relative to the latter and the assembly does not include means, such as rudder or rudder for steering it.
  • the athlete in a more or less flexed standing position places his two feet on the same side of the board with respect to the longitudinal axis and holds the wishbone in both hands. To make a U-turn, it must pass on the other side of the longitudinal axis of the board.
  • the invention aims to ensure the balance of the plane che à voile to allow the practitioner to learn this sport without getting discouraged.
  • the raised part integral with the float is rigid and has either the shape of a U or L angle.
  • the raised part secured to the float is semi-rigid and follows the shape of the edge of the board and is secured to the float by straps or other flexible connecting members.
  • this raised part can be semi-rigid, or even flexible.
  • the strap itself then has a rigid L-shaped part intended to come into contact with at least one of the two main faces of the board and preferably the underside.
  • Figure 17 is a summary perspective view showing the device according to the invention in place on a windsurfing board.
  • Each float can have a varied shape or section. As already said, it is preferably inflatable, flexible and substantially-cylindrical.
  • this float 8 is in the form of an inflatable circular rod rounded at its ends comprising fasteners 10 and 11 secured to the float 8 in which are formed openings 12 and 13 through which the straps pass respectively 14 and 15.
  • These straps 14 and 15 in braided nylon are intended to be tightened firmly around the board while connecting the removable lateral floats 8 and 9 together, while the legs respectively 10 a or 10 b (see FIG. 3) fasteners ensure the angular connection and are supported on a part of the beginning of at least one of the two main faces of the windsurf board 1.
  • rigid L-shaped angles, 17 and 18 can be provided, arranged on the strap 14 to ensure angular blocking of the float 8 relative to the board 1 , while allowing the tightening of this strap 14.
  • the float 8 has a pocket 19 in which is housed a positive stop 20 in the form of L intended to prevent the float 8 from escaping upwards under the water push effect.
  • FIG. 7 briefly shows in perspective such a stop 20, the blade 21 of which penetrates as already said into the pocket 19. It is noted that the base 21 of this stop 20 rests on the underside 60 of the board 1 so as to avoid 8 floats to spin around the board.
  • the positioning member is formed by an intermediate piece 22 (for example made of ductile metal) which closely follows the shape of the edge 61 of the board 1 and which is held firmly on this board by the strap 14.
  • This intermediate piece 22 is connected firmly to the float 8 by flexible fasteners 23 or the like which block the float 8 relative to 22.
  • the floats (8, 9 or 30, 31) according to the invention are preferably constituted by inflatable elements for reasons of price, minimum bulk (at least when they are deflated), absence of danger in the event fall on them. They can nevertheless be produced in a different technique, such as extrusion blow molding or molding. They can be made of material with high buoyancy, such as polyurethane or polystyrene foams having an envelope providing the desired seal.
  • each float is held simply by two parallel straps, it can also be held by a central strap or by more two straps. Similarly, in the case of a stabilizing system fixed by two straps, these can be crossed and use the fixed point constituted by the mast foot to further increase the locking effect.
