Description

La présente invention concerne un ring de boxe mobile que l'on obtient, en un temps réduit et sans aucun outillage, par transformation d'une remorque appropriée.The present invention relates to a mobile boxing ring which is obtained, in a reduced time and without any tools, by conversion of an appropriate trailer.

On connaît déjà des rings de boxe démontables que l'on peut transporter d'un lieu à un autre à l'état démonté.There are already known removable boxing rings that can be transported from one place to another in the disassembled state.

La demande de brevet français publiée sous le n° 2 238 508 décrit un tel ring démontable. Ce ring comporte une ossature réalisée par des poutres en treillis reliées entre elles par des croisillons. Les poutres en treillis sont articulées en leur milieu par des charnières fixes pour diminuer l'encombrement lors du transport. Les quatre poutres extérieures s'emboîtent à leurs extrémités sur les poteaux d'angle délimitant l'aire de combat. Les poutres intermédiaires sont reliées entre elles et sont reliées aux poutres extérieures par des croisillons assurant la stabilité de l'ensemble. Après avoir réalisé la structure, on pose le plancher et on installe les cordes entre les poteaux d'angle.The French patent application published under No. 2,238,508 describes such a removable ring. This ring has a framework produced by lattice beams connected to each other by cross bars. The truss beams are articulated in the middle by fixed hinges to reduce the bulk during transport. The four outer beams fit at their ends on the corner posts delimiting the combat area. The intermediate beams are interconnected and are connected to the outer beams by braces ensuring the stability of the assembly. After completing the structure, the floor is laid and the ropes are installed between the corner posts.

Le montage de ce ring nécessite un temps non négligeable, car il est nécessaire de positionner correctement les différentes pièces constitutives et de les assembler entre elles. Le démontage est également coûteux en temps. De plus, il est nécessaire d'avoir une remorque pour transporter l'ensemble. Enfin, il faut prévoir un chapiteau ou toute autre toiture muni de l'éclairage approprié lors de la représentation d'un spectacle de boxe.The assembly of this ring requires significant time, because it is necessary to correctly position the various component parts and to assemble them together. Disassembly is also time consuming. In addition, it is necessary to have a trailer to transport the assembly. Finally, a marquee or any other roof with appropriate lighting must be provided during the performance of a boxing show.

On connaît également des véhicules ou remorques spécialement étudiés pour des spectacles de plein air ou des jeux forains et qui comportent une paroi latérale pouvant être basculée vers l'extérieur et vers le haut, afin que les spectateurs puissent voir le podium constitué par le plancher de la remorque.There are also known vehicles or trailers specially designed for outdoor shows or fairground games and which have a side wall that can be tilted outwards and upwards, so that spectators can see the podium formed by the floor of trailer.

Mais on ne connaît pas de remorque dont les quatre parois latérales puissent être relevées pour permettre la vision du spectacle à partir de n'importe quel côté de la remorque, et dont le plancher puisse être suffisamment élargi pour constituer un ring de boxe mobile.But we do not know of a trailer whose four side walls can be raised to allow the vision of the show from any side of the trailer, and whose floor can be widened enough to constitute a mobile boxing ring.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer une remorque comportant un châssis surmonté d'une caisse et monté sur au moins des moyens de roulage qui soit transformable, en un temps réduit et sans aucun outillage, en un ring de boxe.The object of the present invention is to provide a trailer comprising a chassis surmounted by a body and mounted on at least one rolling means which can be transformed, in a reduced time and without any tools, into a boxing ring.

Le but est atteint selon l'invention par le fait que la remorque proposée transformable en ring de boxe, présente les caractéristiques suivantes.The object is achieved according to the invention by the fact that the proposed trailer which can be transformed into a boxing ring has the following characteristics.

La caisse de la remorque présente un plancher fixé sur le châssis, quatre montants verticaux fixés au châssis et disposés aux angles dudit plancher, un toit supporté par lesdits montants verticaux, quatre parois latérales articulées respectivement sur les bords latéraux dudit toit et susceptibles de prenne chacune deux positions : une première position, dite position de transport, dans laquelle lesdites parois latérales sont disposées verticalement et sont susceptibles d'être verrouillées au plancher ou au châssis par des moyens de verrouillage, et une deuxième position, dite position de représentation, dans laquelle lesdites parois latérales s'étendent vers l'extérieur dans le prolongement du toit et sont retenues sensiblement à l'horizontale par des moyens de maintien.The trailer body has a floor fixed to the chassis, four vertical uprights fixed to the chassis and arranged at the corners of said floor, a roof supported by said vertical uprights, four side walls articulated respectively on the lateral edges of said roof and capable of each taking two positions: a first position, called the transport position, in which said side walls are arranged vertically and are capable of being locked to the floor or to the frame by locking means, and a second position, called the representation position, in which said side walls extend outward in the extension of the roof and are retained substantially horizontally by holding means.

Il est prévu, de plus, deux panneaux latéraux rabattables articulés sur les bords longitudinaux dudit plancher et s'étendant entre les montants verticaux correspondants, lesdits panneaux latéraux rabattables étant susceptibles de prendre deux positions : une position de transport dans laquelle lesdits panneaux sont disposés sensiblement à la verticale à l'intérieur de ladite caisse, et une position de représentation dans laquelle lesdits panneaux sont rabattus vers l'extérieur et sont dans le prolongement dudit plancher pour former l'aire de combat.There are also provided two foldable side panels articulated on the longitudinal edges of said floor and extending between the corresponding vertical uprights, said foldable side panels being able to take two positions: a transport position in which said panels are arranged substantially. vertically inside said body, and a representation position in which said panels are folded outwards and are in the extension of said floor to form the combat area.

Les poteaux d'angle de l'aire de combat sont fixés à demeure aux angles extérieurs desdits panneaux latéraux.The corner posts of the combat area are permanently fixed to the outside corners of said side panels.

Les cordes du ring sont également fixées à demeure entre les poteaux d'angle.The ring strings are also permanently fixed between the corner posts.

Il est prévu de plus, des moyens pour stabiliser la remorque ainsi que les panneaux latéraux rabattables en position de représentation.Means are also provided for stabilizing the trailer as well as the folding side panels in the representation position.

Les moyens pour stabiliser les panneaux latéraux comportent avantageusement des pieds réglables susceptibles de loger dans les poteaux d'angle de l'aire de combat. Le réglage de ces pieds se fait par des vérins à vis. Des câbles de tension pour tendre les cordes du ring, relient avantageusement les panneaux latéraux aux longerons du châssis.The means for stabilizing the side panels advantageously include adjustable feet capable of accommodating in the corner posts of the combat area. The adjustment of these feet is done by screw jacks. Tension cables to tighten the ring strings, advantageously connect the side panels to the frame rails.

Des moyens de verrouillage permettent de fixer les panneaux latéraux aux montants verticaux en position de transport.Locking means make it possible to fix the side panels to the vertical uprights in the transport position.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le toit et les parois latérales de la caisse en position de représentation sont mobiles verticalement et peuvent être relevés ensemble par des moyens de levage. Ces moyens de levage comportent des vérins hydrauliques disposés dans les montants verticaux de la caisse et actionnés par un groupe hydraulique. Le groupe hydraulique loge dans un coffre ménagé sous le plancher de la caisse. Des coffres complémentaires de rangement sont également prévus sous le plancher.According to another characteristic of the invention, the roof and the side walls of the box in the representation position are vertically movable and can be raised together by lifting means. These lifting means comprise hydraulic cylinders arranged in the vertical uprights of the body and actuated by a hydraulic group. The hydraulic unit is housed in a trunk formed under the floor of the body. Additional storage boxes are also provided under the floor.

Le toit et les parois latérales sont verrouillés en position haute par des moyens de sécurité qui empêchent l'ensemble du toit de retomber en cours de représentation.The roof and the side walls are locked in the high position by safety means which prevent the entire roof from falling during the performance.

Un tapis, type tapis de judo, est fixé à demeure sur le plancher et les panneaux latéraux rabattables. Ce tapis est amovible.A carpet, such as a judo mat, is permanently fixed to the floor and the folding side panels. This mat is removable.

De plus, une jupe amovible peut être dispsoée autour de l'aire de combat, et des auvents supplémentaires en toile ou autre matériau peuvent être fixés aux quatre coins de la toiture.In addition, a removable skirt can be provided around the combat area, and additional awnings in canvas or other material can be attached to the four corners of the roof.

Le dessin montre une remorque 1 susceptible d'être transformée en un temps réduit et sans aucun outillage en ring de boxe.The drawing shows a trailer 1 capable of being transformed in a reduced time and without any tools in the boxing ring.

Les figures 1 à 3 montrent la remorque 1 dans la position de transport.Figures 1 to 3 show the trailer 1 in the transport position.

Cette remorque 1 comporte essentiellement un châssis 2 du type caisson monté sur deux essieux 3a, 3b munis de roues 4 et prolongé vers l'avant par une flèche 5 permettant de l'accrocher à un véhicule tracteur non représenté sur le dessin. Une caisse 6 est fixée sur le châssis 2.This trailer 1 essentially comprises a chassis 2 of the box type mounted on two axles 3a, 3b provided with wheels 4 and extended forwards by an arrow 5 allowing it to be hooked to a tractor vehicle not shown in the drawing. A box 6 is fixed to the chassis 2.

Cette caisse 6 comporte un plancher 7 fixé au châssis, quatre montants verticaux 8 disposés aux angles du plancher 7 et solidement fixés au châssis 2, un toit 9 supporté par les quatre montants verticaux 8 et quatre parois latérales 10 articulées respectivement sur les bords du toit 9 par des charnières filantes.This box 6 comprises a floor 7 fixed to the chassis, four vertical uprights 8 disposed at the corners of the floor 7 and securely fixed to the chassis 2, a roof 9 supported by the four vertical uprights 8 and four side walls 10 articulated respectively on the edges of the roof. 9 by shooting hinges.

Chaque paroi latérale 10 peut prendre deux positions :
une première position, dite position de représentation. Dans la position de transport représentée sur les figures 1 à 3, chaque paroi latérale 10 bouche l'ouverture délimitée par le toit 9 et le plancher 7 et deux montants verticaux adjacents 8. Des moyens de verrouillage 11 sont prévus pour verrouiller chaque paroi latérale 10, en position verticale de transport, sur le châssis 2 ou le bord correspondant du plancher 7.Each side wall 10 can take two positions:
a first position, called the representation position. In the transport position represented in FIGS. 1 to 3, each side wall 10 blocks the opening delimited by the roof 9 and the floor 7 and two adjacent vertical uprights 8. Locking means 11 are provided for locking each side wall 10 , in vertical transport position, on the chassis 2 or the corresponding edge of the floor 7.

Dans la position de représentation, comme montrée sur les figures 4 à 8, les parois latérales 10 de la caisse sont relevées vers le haut et vers l'extérieur et s'étendent pratiquement à l'horizontale dans le prolongement du toit 9. Elles sont maintenues dans cette position par des moyens de maintien 12, formés par exemple par des compas interposés entre le toit 9 et les parois latérales 10.In the representation position, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 8, the side walls 10 of the body are raised upwards and outwards and extend practically horizontally in line with the roof 9. They are maintained in this position by holding means 12, formed for example by compasses interposed between the roof 9 and the side walls 10.

Des auvents supplémentaires en toile ou tout autre matériau tel que du polyester, de forme triangulaire, peuvent être tendus entre les bords des deux parois latérales 10 adjacentes, pour augmenter la surface de la couverture formée par le toit 9 et les parois latérales 10 en position déployée.Additional awnings in canvas or any other material such as polyester, of triangular shape, can be stretched between the edges of the two adjacent side walls 10, to increase the surface area of the cover formed by the roof 9 and the side walls 10 in position. deployed.

L'aire de combat du ring de boxe est formée par la surface du plancher 7 et la surface de deux panneaux supplémentaires qui peuvent s'étendre sur les côtés longitudinaux de la remorque dans le prolongement du plancher 7.The combat area of the boxing ring is formed by the surface of the floor 7 and the surface of two additional panels which may extend on the longitudinal sides of the trailer in line with the floor 7.

A cet effet, il est prévu deux panneaux latéraux rabattables 13a et 13b qui sont articulés sur les bords longitudinaux du plancher 7 et qui s'étendent entre deux montants verticaux correspondants. Ces deux panneaux latéraux 13a, 13b peuvent également prendre deux positions. Dans la position de transport, représentée sur les figures 4 à 6, ces panneaux latéraux 13a et 13b sont disposés sensiblement à la verticale à l'intérieur du caisson. Des moyens de verrouillage, non représentés sur le dossier, sont prévus pour fixer les panneaux 13a et 13b aux montants verticaux adjacents 8 pendant le transport. Dans cette position verticale, ces panneaux 13a et 13b sont pratiquement adossés aux parois latérales 10 lorsque celles-ci sont dans la position de transport. Dans la position de représentation, montrée sur les figures 7 à 9, les panneaux latéraux 13a et 13b sont rabattus vers l'extérieur et se trouvent dans le plan du plancher 7 pour former l'aire de combat.To this end, two folding side panels 13a and 13b are provided which are articulated on the longitudinal edges of the floor 7 and which extend between two corresponding vertical uprights. These two side panels 13a, 13b can also take two positions. In the transport position, shown in Figures 4 to 6, these side panels 13a and 13b are arranged substantially vertically inside the box. Locking means, not shown on the backrest, are provided for fixing the panels 13a and 13b to the adjacent vertical uprights 8 during transport. In this vertical position, these panels 13a and 13b are practically backed against the side walls 10 when the latter are in the transport position. In the position of representation, shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the side panels 13a and 13b are folded outwards and lie in the plane of the floor 7 to form the combat area.

Les poteaux d'angle 14 de l'aire de combat sont fixés à demeure aux angles extérieurs des panneaux latéraux rabattables 13a et 13b. Les cordes 15 du ring de boxe sont également fixés à demeure aux poteaux d'angle 14 et elles sont tendus en position de représentation par des câbles de tension 16 interposés entre les panneaux latéraux 13a, 13b et les longerons du châssis 2.The corner posts 14 of the combat area are permanently fixed to the outside corners of the folding side panels 13a and 13b. The strings 15 of the boxing ring are also permanently fixed to the corner posts 14 and they are stretched in the representation position by tension cables 16 interposed between the side panels 13a, 13b and the side members of the chassis 2.

Comme on le voit plus précisément sur les figures 7 et 8, il est prévu des moyens 17 permettant de stabiliser la remorque 1 en position de représentation. Ces moyens 17 comportent notamment des pieds réglables 18 par chevilles qui, en position de transport, logent dans les poteaux d'angle 14 et qui présentent un moyen de réglage par vérin à vis. Ils peuvent également comporter tout autre dispositif de stabilisation déjà employé dans les remorques ou les caravanes, tels que des roues Jockey ou pieds réglables 18a.As seen more precisely in Figures 7 and 8, means 17 are provided for stabilizing the trailer 1 in the position of representation. These means 17 include in particular adjustable feet 18 by pins which, in the transport position, are housed in the corner posts 14 and which have an adjustment means by screw jack. They may also include any other stabilization device already used in trailers or caravans, such as Jockey wheels or adjustable feet 18a.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'ensemble formé par le toit 9 et les parois latérales 10 en position de représentation peut être relevé en bloc par des moyens de levage. Ces moyens de levage comportent des vérins hydrauliques à double effet logeant dans les montants verticaux 8 et comportant des tiges de vérin 19 dont la tête est fixée à un angle du toit 9 comme on le voit sur les figures 6 à 8.According to another characteristic of the invention, the assembly formed by the roof 9 and the side walls 10 in the representation position can be raised as a whole by lifting means. These lifting means comprise double-acting hydraulic jacks housed in the vertical uprights 8 and comprising jack rods 19, the head of which is fixed at an angle to the roof 9 as seen in FIGS. 6 to 8.

Les figures 4 et 5 montrent le toit en position basse et les figures 6 à 8 montrent le toit en position haute.Figures 4 and 5 show the roof in the low position and Figures 6 to 8 show the roof in the high position.

Par mesure de sécurité, l'ensemble de la toiture est maintenu en position haute par des moyens de sécurité. Ces moyens peuvent être des goupilles coopérant avec des alésages ménagés dans les tiges de vérin, et venant reposer sur la face d'extrémité supérieure des montants verticaux 8.As a safety measure, the entire roof is kept in the upper position by safety means. These means may be pins cooperating with bores made in the cylinder rods, and coming to rest on the upper end face of the vertical uprights 8.

De préférence, ces moyens de sécurité, comme représentés sur la figure 10, sont formés par des fourreaux cylindriques 20 et fendus sur les hauteurs pour laisser le passage de la tige de vérin 19. La face inférieure du fourreau 20 repose sur la face supérieure du montant vertical 8. Le toit 9 vient en appui sur la face supérieure de ce fourreau 20 qui comporte, dans sa partie interne, une mousse de protection de la tige de vérin 19.Preferably, these safety means, as shown in FIG. 10, are formed by cylindrical sleeves 20 and split on the heights to allow passage of the jack rod 19. The lower face of the sleeve 20 rests on the upper face of the vertical upright 8. The roof 9 comes to bear on the upper face of this sheath 20 which comprises, in its internal part, a foam for protecting the jack rod 19.

Les vérins hydrauliques disposés dans les montants verticaux 8 sont actionnés par un groupe hydraulique logeant dans un coffre ménagé dans le châssis 2 et disposé sous le plancher 7. Des coffres complémentaires de rangement 20, visibles sur la figure 2, sont également prévus sous le plancher 7.The hydraulic cylinders arranged in the vertical uprights 8 are actuated by a hydraulic group housed in a trunk formed in the chassis 2 and disposed under the floor 7. Additional storage boxes 20, visible in FIG. 2, are also provided under the floor 7.

Le plancher 7 et les panneaux latéraux 13a et 13b sont recouverts à demeure par un tapis amovible type tapis de judo. Une bande adhésive, type bande Velcro, est disposée autour de l'aire de combat et permet la fixation rapide d'une jupe amovible entourant le socle du ring de boxe proposé, ledit socle étant formé par le châssis 2 et les moyens de stabilisation de la remorque.The floor 7 and the side panels 13a and 13b are permanently covered by a removable carpet type judo mat. An adhesive strip, Velcro type, is placed around the combat area and allows the rapid fixing of a removable skirt surrounding the base of the proposed boxing ring, said base being formed by the chassis 2 and the stabilization means of trailer.

La remorque comporte de plus une batterie et un chargeur de batterie, et des rampes d'ampoules électriques sont installées à demeure au-dessus de l'aire de combat.The trailer also has a battery and a battery charger, and ramps of light bulbs are permanently installed above the combat area.

Des escaliers d'accès au ring peuvent être disposés dans n'importe quel angle de l'aire de combat.Ring access stairs can be arranged in any corner of the combat area.

En position de transport, le matériel proposé ressemble à une remorque habituelle et, en position de représentation, il se présente sous la forme d'un ring de boxe traditionnel surmonté d'une toiture.In the transport position, the proposed equipment looks like a usual trailer and, in the representation position, it comes in the form of a traditional boxing ring topped with a roof.

Les dimensions de la remorque en position fermée sont sensiblement les suivantes :

longueur de la caisse
: 5,20 m
longueur de la flèche
: 1,30 m
largeur de la caisse
: 2,45 m
hauteur de la caisse
: 2,50 m
hauteur du plancher
: 1,00 m du sol
surélèvement du toit
: 1,00 m
poids de la remorque
: 1600 kg.
The dimensions of the trailer in the closed position are substantially as follows:
body length
: 5.20 m
boom length
: 1.30 m
body width
: 2.45 m
body height

La mise en oeuvre du ring de boxe proposé est très simple. On installe la remorque 1 en position de transport dans le lieu choisi. On déverrouille et relève les parois latérales 10. On relève l'ensemble de la toiture et on verrouille les tiges de vérin 19 en position haute. On rabat les panneaux latéraux 13a, 13b vers l'extérieur. On règle les pieds 18 sortis des poteaux d'angle 14. On positionne les câbles de tension 16 et on les tend. Il ne reste plus qu'à installer la jupe et les escaliers et à allumer les lumières. Tout est prêt pour le spectacle.The implementation of the proposed boxing ring is very simple. The trailer 1 is installed in the transport position in the chosen location. The side walls 10 are unlocked and raised. The entire roof is raised and the cylinder rods 19 are locked in the high position. The side panels 13a, 13b are folded outwards. We adjust the feet 18 out of the corner posts 14. We position the tension cables 16 and we tension them. All that remains is to install the skirt and the stairs and turn on the lights. Everything is ready for the show.
