Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is a controlled or piloted mechanical device which allows, by transverse geometrical deformation of the structure which connects the two floats of a sailing boat of catamaran type, to control them at will dynamically and statically both simultaneously or separately, the angular transverse inclination of the mast, rudder, rigging and hatch supports, as well as the seat or trim of the floats on the water and / or the lateral inclination of the daggerboards or keels which are linked, at the option of the pilot or coxswain and independently of the force of the wind on the sail, in the same transverse direction of rotation.
- connection structures between the flotation support elements or hulls either rigid, or mechanically or elastically deformable.
- the second family consists of connections or components of this structure, deformable or orientable, piloted or not which make it possible to provide, in addition to rigid systems, a particular arrangement, either on the mast, or on the fin or on floats or foils, leading overall to more dynamic efficiency, more stability, more maneuverability, or possibly more ease of implementation during assembly and disassembly.
- Such a structure corresponds to the preamble of claim 1.
- the innovation sought therefore consists in bringing together and using in synchronism these various known devices, even used in an operation opposite to that of the model shown in drawings and figures, suitable for boats with one, two or three flotation supports. , and to combine them together in a catamaran in order to produce a device which seeks an opposite mechanical effect, that is to say the tilting or heeling and the support in a preferential manner on a single float.
- the implementation of the device thus leading to the creation of a system of less stability which calls more on the address and the sense of balance of the pilot.
- the device described in this document mainly seeks, first the resistance to lateral skidding, then an opposition to capsizing, finally a return to balance and stability of the floats well flat on the water.
- a comparative description carried out with the subject of the claimed invention leads to a very different device which seeks above all the imbalance and the support on a single float, the pivoting of these being linked to the best possible attitude of stability, flat or at the gîte.
- the movement of the mast and the floats is independent of the wind, and linked to a play of force internal to the system, which the coxswain communicates with his boat according to the conditions of balance required by piloting. Tilting against the sail authorizes phenomena of the "Kite" type whereas it was not previously.
- the linkage leads to a vertical rotation in the same direction of the mast and the floats, and, it is of the parallelogram type schematically.
- said tapered float In a position of instability at heeling, that is to say in equilibrium on a single support, under the action of a strong wind, said tapered float has low penetration because it improves its lift by the dynamic pressure of the water on the outer flank of the support float, while said flat float sinks deeply of the same volume but on its flank of small section. In addition, penetration on this ridge considerably slows the boat by the contact of the swell with the support frame and the board members. Finally in this last configuration, the mast being linked to the non-deformable structure, there is a loss of propulsion by the angle of flight resulting from the wind on the wing when the boat is tilted.
- the object of the invention is a device which makes it possible to combine the reciprocal advantages of the two techniques exposed by using preferentially flat floats, and / or with hulls and flat bottoms which easily plan out with the speed of propulsion.
- a device according to the invention includes the features of claim 1.
- This device makes it possible to control and control the trim or support on the water in all configurations as well as the daggerboards or keels. Furthermore, it optionally allows, in a reduction ratio linked to the geometric deformation of the structure, to control it in synchronism overall or by group of functions, the angular pivoting of the mast, the rudder and the rigging supports.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 which is limited to a restrictive representation of a catamaran composed of four supports, a mast, a rudder, four transverse support arms and a rigging support and / or hatch, so as not to overload the figures, in order to facilitate description as best as possible.
- the device according to the invention essentially consists of at least four support bearings 1 connected to the floats 2, by an attachment means 3 and ensures respectively in pairs the rotations around the joints 4 - 5, 6 - 7, 8 - 9, 10 - 11, in the vertical plane, support arms 12 of the structure and the rigid frame 13.
- the sub-assembly consisting of the rigid frame 13, forming the longitudinal upper plane of the boat and the four arms transverse supports 12 constitutes the mechanical chassis connecting the floats.
- the mechanical connection of the chassis 12 - 13 and the support bearings 1 to the various articulations already designated constitutes the entire structure with variable geometry.
- the upper articulation 15 is attached to the rigid reinforcement 13 while that of the base is linked to the transverse support arms in their common junction medium 16.
- the rudder or rudder 17 and its attachment 18 located in the middle of the two floats is articulated according to the same functional principle as the mast root 14 at two points on the chassis, in order to pivot in synchronism with the deformation of the structure.
- the upper articulation 19 is attached to the frame 13 while that of the base 20 is linked to the transverse support arms in their common junction medium.
- the rigging and / or hatch support 21 has been arbitrarily shown to be integral with the articulated rudder mechanism, but it could be quite different, in particular if the boat has several masts and therefore several sails. It therefore has the same articulations as the attachment of the rudder and allows whatever the angle of heel to keep constant the adjustment of the sail tension.
- this support has been fixed in the longitudinal axis at equal distance from the shells, but could just as easily be located on either side of this longitudinal median axis.
- Three longitudinal generatrices forming the components of the upper rigid reinforcement among which the connection of the joints 4 - 8, 15 - 19, and 6 - 10 can be considered serve as anchoring and / or clamping at the points of attachment of the traction, compression or traction-compression mechanisms.
- several diagonals connecting these different generators opposite are possible. It is always a question of increasing or shortening geometrically under an engine effort, and of a race, imposed by the piloting: their lengths.
- FIG. 4 represents the rear view of the catamaran, at the heel, bearing on the leeward float.
- the conditions of static equilibrium in this heel configuration are achieved when the torque of reversal of the engine force due to the specific pressure of the wind in the sail, broken down in a transverse plane, is counterbalanced by a resistant torque specific to the masses raised, relative to the hypothetical center of rotation, inscribed in the support plane of the float on the liquid element.
- the weight of the moving mass P A is that of the passenger (s) and / or the ballast, while P B is the static weight specific to the boat.
- the weight resulting from the composition of the two masses is P C.
- the force F D projected in the transverse plane of the direction of advance, applied to the center of thrust D, is the product of the surface of the sail by the pressure of the wind.
- the force due to the dynamic lift of the float is oriented according to the result of the pressures applied to the submerged surface, in a center of thrust which is linked to it.
- FIG. 5 partially makes it possible to provide a mechanical variant to the device for controlling the deformation of the structure in the transverse plane previously stated and shown diagrammatically in FIG. 3.
- Its construction rests on a torque arm 24 linked to the chassis by supports 23 and fixed on the respective generators 6 - 10, 7 - 11, 4 - 8 and 5 - 9.
- This arm allows to drive at will by a vertical rotation due mainly to the mass of the conductor, the deformation and therefore to control the organs which are linked to it by transmitting to the front and rear transverse support arms of the boat 12 - 13, compression and traction forces.
- This arm depending on the direction of wind direction is fixed on the right or left support of the chassis, and the resulting counter-effect is used to oppose the overturning torque due to the wind on the sail.
- the device can therefore assume different geometric shapes, which in their mechanical deformations lead to practically identical results.
- the model represented in the various figures is therefore only a particular case of representation, but the device itself also includes all the variants as soon as the shape of the structure can be varied and subsequently controlled. the dynamic attitude of floats on water and other components.
- FIGS. 4 and 6 shows a particular representation derived from a parallelogram model, but differs therefrom by the mast, the rudder support and the rigging which pivot. '' a lower angle than that of the bearings linked to the floats.
- the deformable structure shown in rear view of the boat is defined by the joints 8 - 9, 10 - 11.
- the rudder support 18 and the rigging and / or hatch support 21 is shown articulated in two points 19 and 20 to the chassis in order on the one hand to keep the best penetration in water at the heel and at the rudder and for the rigging and / or hatch support the same settings wing tension on the other hand.
- the members 18 and 21 during the deformation of the structure will have a smaller angular transverse movement than that of the support bearings 1 or floats 2.
- the articulation 20 must have a degree of longitudinal freedom in the axis of the rudder.
- the angle traveled is equivalent to the pivot angle of the floats and if it is smaller, the angle described is greater than l 'pivot angle of the floats.
- the deformable structure shown in front view of the boat is defined by the articulations 4 - 5, 6 - 7.
- the root of the mast 14 is articulated at two points 15 and 16 on the chassis in order to keep the heel the maximum pressure on the sail as the distance 15 -16 is shown a little larger than the respective lengths 4 - 5 and 6 - 7 the mast 14 during the piloted deformation of the structure will have a smaller angular transverse clearance than that of the floats 7 or the support bearings 1 to which it is linked.
- support arms 12, articulation 16 must have a longitudinal degree of freedom in the axis of the mast, to absorb the difference in length.
- the pivoting of the mast and its footing will be greater or less than that of the floats, but always equivalent between the bow and the rear of the catamaran, according to the different lengths chosen between the joints, in order to be synchronous with that of the rudder and its support, and of the rigging support (s) and / or hatchways always made in the same direction of transverse rotation.
- the angled representation of the support arms makes it possible to increase the heeling angle of the boat by avoiding the contact of the floats which pivot under the structure.
- FIG. 7 one could equally consider that the attachment of the main functional organs such as the mast, the rudder and the sail are not pivotally linked to that of the structure, but fixed, rigid and normal to the plane. top of the chassis as shown.
- This embodiment is already known, but derives from a different construction mode linked to the anti-heeling operation of trimarans and catamarans, or it is the mast which becomes motor by its tilting under the effect of the wind and produced by reaction. a pivoting of the floats in the opposite direction to oppose the overturning torque. This is the opposite phenomenon, since if the mast is allowed to become an engine, it involves the floats rotating in the opposite direction to the claimed process.
- the pivoting of the floats can only be controlled by the pilot and is not linked solely to the movement of the mast under the effect of the wind nor to a mechanical consequence resulting from an arbitrary state of equilibrium , but only to forces internal to the system.
