Abstract

The ship has an open or semi open main public space (4), which is situated around the axial longitudinal plane of the ship at the base of the port, and starboard longitudinal superstructures (3). The port and superstructures are located away from the axial longitudinal plane so that the ratio of the width of the superstructures and public space to that of the ship lies between 1.3 and 3.

Description

La présente invention concerne un navire de croisière ou de loisirs de grande largeur. Ce navire possède un espace public central ouvert ou semi-ouvert bordé par des superstructures longitudinales. On entend ici par espace public un espace composé de une ou plusieurs zones dédiées principalement à l'usage des passagers.The present invention relates to a cruising or recreational vessel of great width. This vessel has an open or semi-open central public space bordered by longitudinal superstructures. Here we mean by public space a space composed of one or more areas dedicated mainly to the use of passengers.

Les navires destinés aux loisirs sont traditionnellement des monocoques composés de ponts dont la largeur est identique ou proche de la largeur du navire à la flottaison. Les espaces publics extérieurs sont généralement situés sur le pont supérieur. Certains concepts innovants de navire ont été développés pour répondre à une demande toujours croissante d'augmenter le nombre cabines et de locaux donnant sur l'extérieur. Ainsi, certains concepts de navire possèdent un espace public principal longitudinal de grandes dimensions situé sur un pont inférieur, espace bordé de superstructures longitudinales verticales bâbord et tribord où sont logés des cabines ou d'autres locaux. Ces concepts de navire ont une largeur trop faible pour obtenir une distance suffisante entre les superstructures longitudinales : la coupe transversale en forme proche du U de ces concepts de navire ne permet pas d'obtenir un volume d'air au-dessus de l'espace public principal suffisamment large pour que l'espace public et les cabines et locaux donnant sur l'espace public soient conviviaux, agréables et suffisamment ensoleillés. Elargir entièrement le navire n'est pas viable, principalement pour des raisons d'inconfort au roulis et de surcoûts de construction et d'exploitation.Recreational vessels are traditionally monohulls composed of bridges whose width is the same or close to the width of the ship at the waterline. Outdoor public spaces are usually located on the upper deck. Some innovative ship concepts have been developed to meet an ever increasing demand to increase the number of cabins and premises overlooking the outside. Thus, some ship concepts have a large longitudinal main public space located on a lower deck, a space bordered by vertical longitudinal port and starboard superstructures where cabins or other spaces are housed. These ship concepts are too small to obtain a sufficient distance between the longitudinal superstructures: the U-shaped cross-section of these ship concepts does not provide a volume of air over space main public large enough so that the public space and cabins and premises overlooking the public space are friendly, pleasant and sufficiently sunny. Extending the vessel fully is not viable, mainly for reasons of roll discomfort and additional construction and operating costs.

GB-A-2 083 415 décrit une embarcation qui fait office d'hôtel flottant. Sa coque porte des superstructures décalées sur toute leur circonférence en direction de leur centre, à la manière d'une pyramide à degrés. GB-A-2,083,415 describes a boat that serves as a floating hotel. Its hull carries superstructures shifted around their circumference towards their center, like a step pyramid.

US-A- 4 046 092 se rapporte à un navire dont la partie de la coque qui s'élève au dessus de la ligne de flottaison va en s'écrasant. La largeur de la superstructure la plus basse est égale à celle de la coque. Quant aux autres superstructures, elles sont "empilées" les unes sur les autres, d'une manière similaire à celle décrite dans le document précité. US-A-4,046,092 refers to a ship whose part of the hull that rises above the waterline is crashing. The width of the lowest superstructure is equal to that of the hull. As for the other superstructures, they are "stacked" on top of each other, in a manner similar to that described in the aforementioned document.

Le document GB-A-1 297 245 , qui comporte les caractéristiques du préamble de la revendication indépendante 1, décrit une embarcation qui consiste en un hôtel flottant. Elle comprend un espace libre central qui peut être dépourvu de fond, de manière à constituer une piscine d'eau de mer.The document GB-A-1,297,245 , which includes the features of the preamble of the independent claim 1, describes a boat which consists of a floating hotel. It includes a central free space that can be devoid of background, so as to constitute a pool of seawater.

Le document FR-A-2 478 017 se rapporte à un complexe flottant dont la forme s'apparente à celle d'une coque de bateau. Cette coque abrite des équipements dont au moins une piscine bordée de plagettes à structure en gradins.The document FR-A-2,478,017 refers to a floating complex whose shape is similar to that of a boat hull. This hull contains equipment including at least one pool lined with stepped plagettes.

Le type de navire selon cette invention permet de répondre aux demandes d'espaces extérieurs nombreux et conviviaux tout en répondant aux exigences de confort et de sécurité. Il comporte un espace public principal de grandes dimensions situé sur un pont inférieur, espace bordé de superstructures longitudinales bâbord et tribord. Les oeuvres vives du navire sont de proportions classiques, adaptées aux exigences de confort, de stabilité et de résistances à l'avancement. La coupe transversale du navire a une forme proche du V, les superstructures longitudinales possédant une inclinaison transversale d'ensemble. Cette inclinaison d'ensemble donne à l'espace public principal situé au pied des superstructures longitudinales un meilleur ensoleillement et crée un esprit de gradins de stade. En cas d'envahissement, la forme d'ensemble du navire entraîne une augmentation de la largeur à la flottaison lorsque le navire s'enfonce et améliore ainsi sensiblement la stabilité du navire, celle-ci dépendant directement de l'inertie transversale de flottaison. De plus, cette forme d'ensemble, en éloignant les masses de l'axe longitudinal, augmente la période de roulis du navire et améliore ainsi le confort du passager.The type of ship according to this invention makes it possible to meet the demands for numerous and user-friendly outdoor spaces while meeting the requirements of comfort and convenience. security. It has a main public space of large dimensions located on a lower deck, space lined with longitudinal superstructures port and starboard. The works of the ship are of classic proportions, adapted to the requirements of comfort, stability and resistance to progress. The cross section of the ship has a shape close to the V, the longitudinal superstructures having an overall transverse inclination. This overall tilt gives the main public space at the foot of the longitudinal superstructures better sunlight and creates a spirit of stadium seating. In case of flooding, the overall shape of the ship causes an increase in the width at the waterline when the ship sinks and thus significantly improves the stability of the ship, it directly depends on the transverse inertia of flotation. In addition, this overall shape, by moving the masses away from the longitudinal axis, increases the rolling period of the ship and thus improves the comfort of the passenger.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention :

  • La figure 1 représente en coupe transversale le principe de l'invention.
  • La figure 2 représente en coupe transversale une variante de ce principe.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
  • The figure 1 represents in cross section the principle of the invention.
  • The figure 2 represents in cross section a variant of this principle.

En référence à ces dessins, le navire comporte une structure principale (1) dont la part située sous le niveau de flottaison (2) constitue les oeuvres vives. Les proportions des oeuvres vives sont classiques, adaptées aux exigences de confort, de stabilité et de résistances à l'avancement. Un espace public principal ouvert ou semi-ouvert de grandes dimensions (4) est situé sur la structure principale (1). Le navire comporte des superstructures bâbord et tribord longitudinales (3) qui s'élèvent avec une inclinaison transversale d'ensemble. Cette inclinaison doit être telle qu'elle augmente l'ensoleillement de l'espace public principal inférieur (4) et qu'elle augmente sensiblement la largeur totale du navire au-dessus de la flottaison. Le rapport de la largeur du navire (5) sur la largeur à la flottaison (6) peut varier de 1,3 à 3, l'angle d'ouverture moyen de la façade interne (7) pouvant varier de 15 degrés à 60 degrés.Referring to these drawings, the ship has a main structure (1) whose share below the flotation level (2) constitutes the live works. The proportions of the works are classic, adapted to the requirements of comfort, stability and resistance to progress. A main open or semi-open public space of large dimensions (4) is located on the main structure (1). The vessel has longitudinal port and starboard superstructures (3) which rise with a overall transverse inclination. This inclination must be such as to increase the sunshine of the lower main public space (4) and substantially increase the overall width of the vessel above the waterline. The ratio of the width of the ship (5) to the width at the waterline (6) can vary from 1.3 to 3, the average opening angle of the internal facade (7) can vary from 15 degrees to 60 degrees .

Le navire peut être fabriqué avec les matériaux et équipements couramment utilisés dans la construction de navires de croisière.The ship can be made with the materials and equipment commonly used in the construction of cruise ships.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le navire peut avoir une largeur à la flottaison de 32 mètres et une largeur hors tout de 58 mètres, pour une longueur hors tout de 250 mètres. Les superstructures longitudinales et l'espace public principal peuvent s'étendre sur les 3 quarts arrières du navire, le quart avant étant constitué d'une zone pleine toute largeur dédiée à des espaces publics et à la timonerie. La partie arrière de cette zone pleine qui liaisonne les superstructures longitudinales bâbord et tribord peut être constituée de gradins qui créent la forme d'ensemble d'un amphithéâtre. L'arrière du navire peut être aménagé en marina.By way of non-limiting example, the vessel may have a waterline width of 32 meters and an overall width of 58 meters, for an overall length of 250 meters. The longitudinal superstructures and the main public space may extend over the rear quarter quarters of the vessel, the forward quarter consisting of a full width zone dedicated to public spaces and the wheelhouse. The rear portion of this solid area that connects the port and starboard longitudinal superstructures may be bleachers that create the overall shape of an amphitheater. The stern of the ship can be converted into a marina.

Le navire selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la croisière.The ship according to the invention is particularly intended for cruising.
