Description

DISPOSITIF POUR L'ARTICULATION DE LA VOILE DANS LE SENS DEVICE FOR JOINING THE VEIL IN THE SENSE
HORIZONTAL ET VERTICAL ASSOCIE A UN ENSEMBLE BOITIER DE GUINDANT, BOITIER DE CHUTE ET JONC. HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL ASSOCIATED WITH A ASSEMBLY OF A GUINDANT CASE, FALL CASE AND JUNC.
La présente invention concerne le domaine de la voile et précisément un ensemble composé d' un boitier de guindant fixé sur un coulisseau articulé permettant une rotation parfaite dans l'axe de la rainure du mât et d'un boitier de chute associé à un jonc ou une latte, rigidifiant le profil de la voile. The present invention relates to the field of sailing and specifically an assembly consisting of a luff box fixed on an articulated slide allowing a perfect rotation in the axis of the mast groove and a drop box associated with a rod or a batten, stiffening the profile of the sail.
Actuellement il existe divers procédés pour tendre une voile. Le moyen le plus couramment employé est de glisser une latte plate dans un fourreau cousu sur la voile parallèlement à la bome. Dans une autre réalisation. il existe un système de réglage de la latte composé de sangles, généralement situé sur le bord de chute. On remarque que dans ces deux exemples de réalisation. les lattes appuient sur le guindant de la voile pénalisant sa rotation sur la rainure du mât lors des changements de bord.  Currently there are various methods for stretching a sail. The most commonly used means is to slide a flat batten into a sheath sewn on the sail parallel to the boom. In another realization. there is a slat adjustment system made up of straps, usually located on the falling edge. Note that in these two examples of embodiment. the slats press on the luff of the sail penalizing its rotation on the mast groove during changes of edge.
La présente invention permet. grâce à son boitier de guindant f ixé solidaire sur un coulisseau articulé, d'orienter la voile sur tous les angles sans être pénalisé par la tension des lattes sur la rainure du mât. Le boitier situé sur le bord de chute de la voile possède une vis permettant de compresser le jonc ou la latte situé entre les deux boitiers. D'autres caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre se référant aux dessins suivants : The present invention allows. thanks to its fixed luff box fixed on an articulated slide, to orient the sail on all angles without being penalized by the tension of the slats on the groove of the mast. The box located on the falling edge of the sail has a screw allowing to compress the rod or the batten located between the two boxes. Other characteristics of the invention will appear during the description which follows, referring to the following drawings:
. Fig. 1 est une représentation d'un ensemble boitier de jonc.  . Fig. 1 is a representation of a rod housing assembly.
. Fig. 2 est une représentation d'un ensemble boitier de latte.  . Fig. 2 is a representation of a batten housing assembly.
.Fig. 3 est un représentation d'un boitier de latte.  .Fig. 3 is a representation of a batten box.
Suivant l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur la fig. 1 et conforme à l'invention l'ensemble rigidifiant la voile 1 est composé d'un boitier de guindant 2 fixé solidaire à un coulisseau articulé 3 coulissant dans la rainure du mât 4. Le guindant de la voile 1 est inséré entre les deux parties 2 et 2a du boitier de guindant. Le bord de chute de la voile 1 est inséré entre les deux parties du boitier de chute 5 et 5a. Entre le boitier de guindant 2 et le boitier de chute 5 se trouve prisonnier le jonc 6 coulissant dans son tunnel de toile 7 cousu. parallèlement à la borne , sur la voile 1. Une vis 8 est situé dans le boitier de chute 5 et dans l'axe du jonc 6. En visant la vis 8 on exerce une pression sur le jonc 6 permettant de rigidifer la voile 1 et de modifier son profil. Les deux boitiers 2 et 5 étant fixés sur la voile 1, la pression exercée sur le jonc 6 n'est pas transmise au coulisseau 3, ce qui permet une rotation parfaite de l'ensemble autour des deux axes de celui-ci. Suivant l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur la fig. 2 et conforme à l'invention l'ensemble rigidifiant la voile 1 est composé d'un boitier de guindant 9 dans lequel coulisse une extrémité de la latte 10 et d'un boitier de chute 11 dans lequel coulisse l'autre extrémité de la latte 10. La latte 10 coulisse dans un tunnel de toile 12 cousu parallèlement à la bôme sur la voile 1. Le boitier de guindant 9 insère le guindant de la voile 1 entre ces deux parties 9 et 9a. Le boitier de chute 11 insère la chute de la voile 1 entre ces deux parties 11 et lia. Dans la partie 9 du boitier de guindant et dans l'axe de la latte 10 est situé une vis 13. sur laquelle est fixé le coulisseau articulé de la rainure du mât. permettant d'exercer une sur la latte 10. Dans la partie 11 du boitier de chute et dans l'axe de la latte 10 est situé une vis 14 permettant d' exercer une pression sur la latte 10. l1 suffit de visser la vis 14 du boitier de chute 11 pour exercer une pression sur la latte 10 quand celle-ci est en butée sur la vis 13 du boitier de guindant 9 af in de rigidif ier la voile 1 et obtenir différents profils sans contrainte sur le coulisseau articulé de la rainure du mât. According to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and in accordance with the invention the assembly stiffening the sail 1 is composed of a luff box 2 fixed integral with an articulated slide 3 sliding in the groove of the mast 4. The luff of the sail 1 is inserted between the two parts 2 and 2a of the luff box. The falling edge of the sail 1 is inserted between the two parts of the falling box 5 and 5a. Between the luff box 2 and the drop box 5 is trapped the rod 6 sliding in its sewn canvas tunnel 7. parallel to the terminal, on the sail 1. A screw 8 is located in the drop box 5 and in the axis of the rod 6. By targeting the screw 8, pressure is exerted on the rod 6 making it possible to stiffen the sail 1 and to modify his profile. The two boxes 2 and 5 being fixed on the sail 1, the pressure exerted on the rod 6 is not transmitted to the slide 3, which allows a perfect rotation of the assembly around the two axes thereof. According to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2 and according to the invention the assembly stiffening the sail 1 is composed of a luff box 9 in which one end of the batten slides 10 and a drop box 11 in which the other end of the batten slides 10. The batten 10 slides in a canvas tunnel 12 sewn parallel to the boom on the sail 1. The luff box 9 inserts the luff of the sail 1 between these two parts 9 and 9a. The drop box 11 inserts the drop of the sail 1 between these two parts 11 and 11a. In the part 9 of the luff box and in the axis of the batten 10 is located a screw 13. on which is fixed the articulated slide of the mast groove. allowing to exert a on the batten 10. In the part 11 of the casing of fall and in the axis of the batten 10 is located a screw 14 allowing to exert a pressure on the batten 10. It is enough to screw the screw 14 of the drop box 11 to exert pressure on the batten 10 when the latter is in abutment on the screw 13 of the luff box 9 in order to stiffen the sail 1 and obtain different profiles without constraint on the articulated slide of the groove of the mast.
Suivant l' exemple de réalisation représenté sur la Fig. 3 et conforme à l' invention le boitier de guindant 9 et le boitier de chute 11 recevant les deux extrémités de la latte 10 possèdent un couvercle 15 coulissant permettant la mise en place de la latte 10. La voile 1 est insérée entre les parties 9.11 et 9a. lia. afin de permettre un minimum de course pour la compression de la latte 10, suivant sa longueur, une cale 15 est positionnée entre son extrémité et la vis 13.14. Conforme à l'invention le boitier de latte de guindant 9 et le boitier de chute 11 reste solidaire de la voile 1 malgré le changement ou le retrait de la latte 10 grâce à son couvercle à glissière 15 qui peut se dégager entièrement. Après la mise en place du couvercle à glissière 15 la latte 10 est prisonnière dans le boitier tout en restant libre en coulissement. En vissant les vis 13 et 14 on exerce une pression sur la latte 10 ce qui permet de rigidifier la voile 1 en modifiant son profil. According to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 3 and according to the invention the luff box 9 and the drop box 11 receiving the two ends of the slat 10 have a sliding cover 15 allowing the setting in place of the batten 10. The sail 1 is inserted between the parts 9.11 and 9a. lia. in order to allow a minimum of travel for the compression of the batten 10, along its length, a shim 15 is positioned between its end and the screw 13.14. In accordance with the invention, the luff batten casing 9 and the chute casing 11 remain integral with the sail 1 despite the change or withdrawal of the batten 10 thanks to its slide cover 15 which can be released entirely. After the installation of the sliding cover 15 the slat 10 is trapped in the housing while remaining free to slide. By screwing the screws 13 and 14, pressure is exerted on the batten 10 which makes it possible to stiffen the sail 1 by modifying its profile.
