Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for guiding a sail of sailing boat, at the opening of the throat of a mast or a part secured to the mast, in which the headline of the sail engages. She can also concern any spar including a groove intended to send a battened sail.
- the mainsail is fixed to the mast at by means of a rope which slides in a mast groove, or even in an integral part (for example articulated) extending all along the mast.
- the luff line is not necessarily present in the axis of the throat, this which causes significant friction at the entrance of the throat to brake and wear, or even jam, the headline between the throat lips at the above orifice.
- WO 97/22515 describes a sail guiding device with these characteristics.
- the invention starts from the idea that the sail can be fitted with a second rope or even with rope sections which, by cooperating with appropriate guide means, ensures the passage slats without blocking at the headline guide while maintaining the orientation of the luff line in the axis of the throat opening.
- this device is characterized in that the elements of guide have, on the side opposite the groove, outer guide edges, and in that said veil comprises at least one protuberance located at a distance from the luff line substantially equal to the distance between said outer edges of the entrance to the groove, so that this protuberance comes to bear and is guided by said outer edges, in preventing the sail from becoming wedged between the guide elements and cannot disturb the passage of the rope through the throat.
- the above protuberance may consist of a second headline extending parallel to the luff line, on all its length.
- the sail may include the right to each of the slats a protuberance or portion of a line, curved or in V shape of concavity oriented opposite the luff line.
- This solution has the advantage of limiting. the thickness of sail wound on the reel.
- the reel-reducer of mainsail 10 is mounted inside a boom 1 which consists of a tubular element 13 closed at each of its ends 4 and 5, and comprising a longitudinal slot 3 allowing the passage of the mainsail 10.
- the element tubular 13 closes a winding tube 2 substantially coaxial with the element tubular 13 around which the mainsail 10 is wound.
- the tube reel 2 is rotatably mounted along its longitudinal axis and is integral with a 8 coaxial drum allowing its rotational training thanks to a rope operation 9.
- the luff line 12 of the mainsail 10 is maintained parallel to the mast 11 and so that the mainsail 10 can be rolled up without folds around the winding tube 2 despite the boom head position of the drum 8
- the luff line 12 is threaded using the headrest 34 into the throat longitudinal 14 of a profiled element 15 which is fixed to the mast 11 by means of support parts 16 and 17.
- the profiled element 15 is kept at a distance of the mast 11 so that the luffing line portion 12 of the part of the deployed sail is always in line with the headline portion of luff 12 wrapped around the winder tube 2.
- the profiled element 15 is articulated to the support pieces 16, 17 by means of connecting pieces 19, while being subject to the movements of boom 1 in a plane perpendicular to mast 11.
- the slot 20 opening the groove 14 of the profiled element 15 always remains oriented along the longitudinal axis of boom 1, regardless of the angle formed between boom 1 and the longitudinal axis of the boat. This reduces friction forces acting between the groove 14 and the sail 10 when the latter is not exactly in the axis of the slot 20 of the groove 14.
- the mainsail 10 is provided with a series of slats horizontal 21 regularly spaced from each other. This solution has effect for the purpose of stiffening the sail 10 and thus offering the possibility to use a sail 10 having a larger surface.
- the mainsail 10 comprises a second continuous luff 22 which extends parallel to the luff luff 12 to a predetermined distance therefrom.
- This second rope 22 is intended to cooperate with a device for guide 23, visible in FIG. 2, arranged in the vicinity of the entrance to the groove 14.
- This device comprises two guide elements 24, 25 oblong located in look of the orifice of the groove 14 substantially on either side of the latter. These two elements 24 and 25 are adjustable in distance from one another. They are spaced from each other by a distance slightly greater than the thickness of the sail 10 so as to delimit a passage through which the portion of sail 10 between the two line 12 and 22.
- the two guide elements 24 and 25 are carried by two respective cheeks 26, 27 fixed to the profiled element 15. They can be fixed and have a oblong shape suitable for guiding without damaging the second headline 22. As a variant, these elements 24 and 25 could consist of rollers rotatably mounted on the cheeks 26 and 27, around a common axis perpendicular to the plane of the sail 10 so as to guide the line 12 in the axis of the entrance to the groove 14.
- the two guide elements 24 and 25 can be carried by two respective cheeks 28 and 29 fixed to the mast 11 by rivets 30, 31.
- the sail 10 then comprises at least as many segments, or protuberances, of headline 31 than of slats 21, said protuberances 22 being located near the ends of the slats 21.
- These headline segments 31 may be rectilinear. However, they can advantageously present curved shapes for example in V, of concavity oriented opposite the first headline 12 so as to constitute two successive guide ramps 32, 33 which extend obliquely to the vertical ( Figure 4).
- These ramps 32, 33 are intended to come to bear on the guide elements 24, 25 by moving the ends of the slats 11 away from the entrance to the groove 14.
- this solution has the advantage of reduce the extra thicknesses when the mainsail 10 is wrapped around the hose reel 2.
