Description

La présente invention est relative aux enrouleurs de voiles et se rapporte plus particulièrement bien que non exclusivement aux enrouleurs de focs .The present invention relates to sail winders and relates more particularly although not exclusively to jib winders.

Les enrouleurs de focs comportent généralement un tambour monté à la partie inférieure de l'étai et sur lequel est enroulé un cordage d'actionnement.Jib furlers generally include a drum mounted at the bottom of the forestay and on which is wound an actuating cord.

Le tambour est destiné à entraîner en rotation un tube de réception de la voile, entourant le câble d'étai et dont une extrémité est rendue solidaire en rotation dudit tambour.The drum is intended to drive in rotation a tube for receiving the sail, surrounding the forestay cable and one end of which is made to rotate with said drum.

Dans certains modes de réalisation le tube d'enroulement de la voile est constitué par des tronçons de tube à contour fermé juxtaposés et rivés bout à bout. Le tube ainsi constitué nécessite pour sa mise en place le démontage du câble d'étai afin d'enfiler le manchon sur ledit câble.In certain embodiments, the winding tube of the sail is made up of sections of tube with closed contour juxtaposed and riveted end to end. The tube thus formed requires for its installation the disassembly of the forestay cable in order to thread the sleeve on said cable.

Le tube est monté à rotation sur le câble d'étai par l'intermédiaire de paliers en matière plastique.The tube is rotatably mounted on the forestay cable via plastic bearings.

Un tel agencement présente une bonne résistance à la torsion, mais il est difficile à monter.Such an arrangement has good resistance to torsion, but it is difficult to assemble.

Il existe également des enrouleurs dont le tube d'enroulement est réalisé par assemblage de deux profilés ouverts: Bien`que pouvant êtrè montés sans détacher le câble d'étai, les tubes réalisés en deux demi-tubes présentent l'inconvénient d'une très mauvaise résistance à la torsion.There are also reels whose winding tube is produced by assembling two open sections: Although they can be mounted without detaching the forestay cable, the tubes produced in two half-tubes have the disadvantage of a very poor resistance to torsion.

L'invention vise à remédier aux inconvénients des enrouleurs de la technique antérieure en créant un enrouleur pour voile dont le tube allie la résistance à la torsion des tubes à contour fermé à la facilité de montage des tubes réalisés par assemblage de profilés ouverts.The invention aims to remedy the drawbacks of winders of the prior art by creating a sail furler whose tube combines the resistance to twisting of closed contour tubes with the ease of mounting the tubes produced by assembling open sections.

Elle a donc pour objet un tube d'enroulement d'une voile, notamment pour enrouleur de foc, réalisé en au moins un profilé métallique monté à rotation autour du câble d'étai, caractérisé en ce que le profilé métallique présente un profil extérieur de section transversale circulaire définissant la surface d'enroulement du tube et un profil intérieur en forme de huit ouvert,venu de matière avec le profil extérieur, les profils extérieur et intérieur étant reliés entre eux au niveau d'une fente longitudinale commune, le profil intérieur formant un logement pour une gaine en matière plastique également de section en huit qui définit, après engagement dans le profil intérieur et pincement, un premier compartiment pour la réception du câble détai et un second compartiment formant gorge de ralingue débouchant dans ladite fente commune aux profils extérieur et intérieur.It therefore relates to a winding tube of a sail, in particular for jib furler, made of at least one metal section mounted for rotation at stay of the forestay cable, characterized in that the metal profile has an outer profile of circular cross-section defining the winding surface of the tube and an inner profile in the form of an open eight, made integrally with the outer profile, the profiles exterior and interior being interconnected at a common longitudinal slot, the interior profile forming a housing for a plastic sheath also of eight section which defines, after engagement in the interior profile and pinching, a first compartment for the reception of the detai cable and a second compartment forming a luff groove opening into said slot common to the exterior and interior profiles.

D'autres caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre, faite en référence aux dessins annexés, donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple et sur lesquels:

  • la Fig. 1 est une vue schématique partiellement éclatée et partiellement arrachée d'un dispositif enrouleur de foc suivant l'invention; et
  • la Fig. 2 est une vue en coupe à plus grande échelle suivaht la ligne 2-2 de la Fig. 1.
Other characteristics of the invention will appear during the description which follows, given with reference to the appended drawings, given solely by way of example and in which:
  • Fig. 1 is a partially exploded and partially cutaway schematic view of a jib furling device according to the invention; and
  • Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view along line 2-2 of FIG. 1.

L'enrouleurde foc représenté à la Fig. 1 comporte principalement un tambour 1 fixé à la partie inférieure du câble d'étai 2 et au point d'amure du câble d'étai sur l'étrave E d'un voilier. Le tambour 1 comporte une poulie rotative 3 sur laquelle est enroulé un cordage 4 qui passe par un guide de drosse 5 du tambour et dont une extrémité est immobilisée en un point du pont du voilier, une force de traction exercée sur le cordage 4 provoquant la mise en rotation de la poulie 3 dont est solidaire en rotation un tube 6 entourant le câble d'étai 2 et auquel est fixé le foc 7 d'une manière qui sera décrite par la suite.The jib furler shown in FIG. 1 mainly comprises a drum 1 fixed to the lower part of the forestay cable 2 and to the tack point of the forestay cable on the bow E of a sailboat. The drum 1 comprises a rotary pulley 3 on which is wound a rope 4 which passes through a drosse guide 5 of the drum and one end of which is immobilized at a point on the deck of the sailboat, a tensile force exerted on the rope 4 causing the rotation of the pulley 3 which is integral in rotation with a tube 6 surrounding the forestay cable 2 and to which the jib 7 is fixed in a manner which will be described later.

Le tube 6 de réception du foc est réalisé en plusieurs tronçons 8 de profilés d'aluminium disposés bout à bout et assemblés par des manchons de raccordement 9 fixés aux tronçons 8 par des rivets 10.The jib receiving tube 6 is produced in several sections 8 of aluminum profiles arranged end to end and assembled by connection sleeves 9 fixed to the sections 8 by rivets 10.

Ainsi qu'on peut le voir à-la Fig. 2, chaque tronçon de tube 8 comporte un profil extérieur 11 de section pratiquement circulaire et à profil intérieur 12 de section en forme de huit ouvert venu de matière avec le profil extérieur, les profils extérieur 11 et intérieur 12 débouchant sur une fente commune longitudinale 13. Le manchon de raccordement 9 est engagé contre la surface interne du profil extérieur 11. Il présente lui aussi une fente 14 dont les bords prennent appui contre la surface du profil intérieur 12.As can be seen in FIG. 2, each section of tube 8 has an outer profile 11 of practically circular section and with an inner profile 12 of eight-shaped section open as a matter of course with the outer profile, the outer 11 and inner 12 profiles opening onto a common longitudinal slot 13 The connection sleeve 9 is engaged against the internal surface of the external profile 11. It also has a slot 14 whose edges bear against the surface of the internal profile 12.

Le profil intérieur 12 en forme de huit ouvert définit un premier logement central 15 destiné à recevoir le câble d'étai 16 et un logement latéral 17 dans lequel doit être engagée la ralingue 18 de la voile 7. Le câble d'étai 16 et la ralingue 18 sont maintenus à l'intérieur de leurs logements 15 et 17 respectifs ménagés dans le profil intérieur 12 par l'intermédiaire d'une gaine 19 en matière plastique ayant elle aussi une section transversale en forme de huit. La gaine 19 présente une épaisseur telle qu'elle remplisse pratiquement l'intervalle entre le câble d'étai 16 et le profil intérieur 12 dans le premier logement 15 et qu'elle laisse un jeu minimal entre la ralingue 18 et la paroi interne du logement latéral 17. En outre, lors de son montage, la gaine 19 est légèrement pincée de. sorte que. sa partie qui entoure le câble d'étai 16 constitue un compartiment pratiquement fermé pour celui-ci du fait qu'au niveau de la séparation entre la partie de la gaine entourant le câble d'étai 16 et celle entourant la ralingue 18, la gaine 12 présente des nervures internes 20 tournées l'une vers l'autre.The internal profile 12 in the shape of an open eight defines a first central housing 15 intended to receive the forestay cable 16 and a lateral housing 17 in which the headline 18 of the sail 7 must be engaged. The forestay cable 16 and the rope 18 are held inside their respective housings 15 and 17 formed in the inner profile 12 by means of a sheath 19 of plastic material also having an eight-shaped cross section. The sheath 19 has a thickness such that it practically fills the gap between the forestay cable 16 and the internal profile 12 in the first housing 15 and that it leaves a minimum clearance between the headline 18 and the internal wall of the housing lateral 17. In addition, during its assembly, the sheath 19 is slightly pinched. so that. its part which surrounds the forestay cable 16 constitutes a practically closed compartment for the latter because at the level of the separation between the part of the sheath surrounding the forestay cable 16 and that surrounding the headline 18, the sheath 12 has internal ribs 20 facing one another.

Par ailleurs., la partie de la gaine 19. entourant la ralingue 18 présente des méplats 21 définissant une gorge en V aboutissant à une fente 22 destinée à laisser passer la voile 7.Furthermore, the part of the sheath 19. surrounding the rope 18 has flats 21 defining a V-shaped groove leading to a slot 22 intended to allow the sail 7 to pass.

Le montage de l'enrouleur suivant l'invention est réalisé de la façon suivante. Après avoir démonté le câble d'étai on met en place un coulisseau 22 de manoeuvre de la voile 7 avec la drisse de foc 23 ainsi que le tambour 1. On remet alors en place le câble d'étai 2. Ensuite, on procède au montage sur le câble d'étai du tube d'enroulement 6 constitué de tronçons de profilés 8 à profils extérieur 11 et intérieur 12, assemblés bout à bout à l'aide des manchons de raccordement 9. A son extrémité supérieure, le tube d'enroulement présente une butée 24. Lorsque le tube d'enroulement 8 est en place autour du câble d'étai, on le hisse en enfilant sur celui-ci le_coulisseau 22 sur lequel on agit à l'aide de la drisse 23 jusqu'à. ce qu'il soit en contact avec la butée 24 pour entraîner le tube d'enroulement 6 vers le haut. On peut alors procéder à la mise en place de la gaine 19 en matière plastique en enfilant cette gaine par l'extrémité libre du tube d'enroulement 8. La gaine 12 est légèrement pincée lors de son montage, de sorte qu'elle enferme pratiquement totalement le câble d'étai 16 ' et que celui-ci ne peut en aucune façon sortir hors de son compartiment ainsi défini. En outre, la gaine constitue un palier de rotation pour le tube d'enroulement . La partie de la gaine 19 se trouvant dans le logement latéral 17 constitue une gorge pour la ralingue 18 de la voile 7, de sorte que lorsque la gaine 19 est mise en place, il suffit alors de procéder au montage de la voile comme dans une gorge de ralingue ordinaire. Lorsque le tube d'enroulement de la voile 8 est terminé,-il suffit de fixer son extrémité inférieure au tambour 1 et l'enrouleur est alors prêt à fonctionner.The mounting of the reel according to the invention is carried out as follows. After having dismantled the forestay cable, a slide 22 for operating the sail 7 is put in place with the jib halyard 23 as well as the drum 1. The forestay cable 2 is then put back in place. mounting on the forestay cable of the winding tube 6 made up of sections of profiles 8 with external 11 and internal 12 profiles, assembled end to end using the connection sleeves 9. At its upper end, the winding has a stop 24. When the winding tube 8 is in place around the forestay cable, it is hoisted by threading on it le_coulisseau 22 on which one acts using the halyard 23 up. that it is in contact with the stop 24 to drive the winding tube 6 upwards. We can then proceed to the establishment of the plastic sheath 19 by threading this sheath through the free end of the winding tube 8. The sheath 12 is slightly pinched during its assembly, so that it practically encloses completely the forestay cable 16 'and that it cannot in any way come out of its compartment thus defined. In addition, the sheath constitutes a rotation bearing for the winding tube. The part of the sheath 19 located in the lateral housing 17 constitutes a groove for the headline 18 of the sail 7, so that when the sheath 19 is put in place, it then suffices to mount the sail as in a ordinary headline throat. When the winding tube of the sail 8 is finished, it suffices to fix its lower end to the drum 1 and the reel is then ready to operate.

Une fois que l'ensemble qui vient d'être décrit est terminé, le tube d'enroulement 8 présente un profil pratiquement circulaire de sorte que l'enroulement de la voile se fait dans de très bonnes conditions, sans former de plis.Once the assembly which has just been described is completed, the winding tube 8 has a practically circular profile so that the winding of the sail takes place in very good conditions, without forming folds.

En raison de son profil composite, le tube d'enroulement 8 présente une très grande rigidité à la torsion. La gaine 19 permet une rotation du tube 8 sur le câble d'étai 16 avec un minimum de frottement .Due to its composite profile, the winding tube 8 has a very high torsional rigidity. The sheath 19 allows rotation of the tube 8 on the forestay cable 16 with a minimum of friction.

On voit donc que l'agencement qui vient d'être décrit allie une très grande simplicité de construction et de montage à une très bonne efficacité d'emploi.It can therefore be seen that the arrangement which has just been described combines very great simplicity of construction and assembly with very good efficiency of use.
