Definitions
- the present invention relates to improvements brought to the devices constituted by or having at least one inflatable enclosure delimited by at least one flexible wall and at least one accessory secured to said flexible wall of the enclosure.
- the provisions of the invention can find application in all types of devices less an inflatable enclosure of any type. It seems, however, that they must find a favorite application in the inflatable boats that is the specific arrangement (with flexible hull, with rigid hull) and in inflatable pools that is the constitution of the inflatable flank, being understood that other types of devices (eg inflatable life rafts, flexible tanks for liquids, etc.) are also part of application of the provisions of the invention.
- Pool users can, too, wish to have a place to group small accessories that can be used in the water (such as floating toys, a balloon, ...) and easily accessible from inside the pool.
- DE 71 17 265 U discloses a boat tire whose inflatable bead is arranged to receive and support an inner chest; the perimeter of the edge of an opening made in the inflatable bead is pinched between the smooth edge of the inner trunk at flange and the smooth edge of an outer cover at flange, these two edges being bolted to each other at through the material of the inflatable bead.
- the recovery of the tension forces of the material inflatable pudding is only intermittently ensured by the fastening bolts and this risk material to be torn.
- the mechanical strength of this arrangement known is bad and watertight is mediocre.
- the present invention aims to respond to aspirations of the various users of devices in question in an original way, either in substitution existing solutions, in addition to these, without resulting in additional congestion in the device or a substantial modification of the general infrastructure of the device.
- the means according to the invention are of a great universality of employment and ensure the mounting many kinds of accessories as will be explained later. These means are structurally simple and therefore inexpensive to manufacture and install.
- the presence of the protruding reinforcement (rush) on the periphery of the opening, which is engaged and retained in the groove provided in at least one of the frames makes it possible to hold mechanics of the flexible wall all around opening and in all directions so the shape and resistance of the inflatable enclosure does not in no way affected by the presence of the opening: the functional combination of the reinforcement protruding peripheral and rigid frame equipped with a reinforcement receiving groove provides recovery particularly effective tension forces to which is subjected the flexible wall stretched by the fluid of inflation.
- the sealing means to ensure a tightness to the inflation fluid (a gas, usually air), a simple and effective solution consists in that the sealing means comprise a flexible pouch in a waterproof material, which is secured tightly to the inner face of the wall of the inflatable enclosure around the opening, said pocket extending inside the inflatable enclosure into sealingly surrounding the aforesaid accessory.
- the sealing means comprise a flexible pouch in a waterproof material, which is secured tightly to the inner face of the wall of the inflatable enclosure around the opening, said pocket extending inside the inflatable enclosure into sealingly surrounding the aforesaid accessory.
- the clamping means are screws or bolts distributed around the perimeter of the opening, although could also consider (especially for small accessories) that the wall lining the opening, the inner frame and outer frame are joined by gluing and / or welding.
- the invention aims in particular at mounting accessories such as handles, cleats or other devices of the same nature.
- the base is substantially shaped plate, in which case the base will extend approximately in the plane of the flexible wall and the accessory that is solidaire will protrude on said wall.
- the base in the form of an open box which then extends at least partly under the level of the flexible wall and at the inside of the inflatable enclosure (recessed base): it becomes possible that the accessory is housed in the box-shaped base so that this accessory becomes embedded at least in part (by example, flush-mounted cleat), ie retractable (for example extractable handle, spring loaded inside of the base).
- the accessory has a functional part that is integral with the base or that the accessory has a part functional which is reported on the base and fixed to it.
- the outer frame is equipped or lined externally of a hubcap.
- the means according to the invention allow installing, on the wall of the inflatable enclosure, a accessory of an unusual type, namely a safe substantially rigid which extends at least in part to the interior of said inflatable enclosure and which comprises a substantially rigid ridge projecting transversely at the trunk wall, located outside the wall of the enclosure.
- a accessory of an unusual type namely a safe substantially rigid which extends at least in part to the interior of said inflatable enclosure and which comprises a substantially rigid ridge projecting transversely at the trunk wall, located outside the wall of the enclosure.
- speaker volume for example the "empty" volume (i.e. filled with air) of the pneumatic enclosure (s) (Flotation rods of a watercraft, peripheral ring of an inflatable pool or raft survival, filling volume of a bladder) equipping the device.
- This volume certainly relatively important, assumes an essential function in the operation of the device (including buoyancy for a boat, retention of a volume of water for a pool, storage of a liquid for a tank); But in practice the volume of the inflatable speaker (s) is largely dimensioned, especially with regard to what would be strictly necessary. Also the invention provides she to divert a party, proportionately small, of this volume to assign it an additional function storage.
- edge of the trunk constitutes the aforesaid outer frame.
- the edge of the chest is independent of the aforesaid outer frame and covers it; in this case, the trunk edge is fixed by the above means of tightening, or else the trunk is secured to a single two frames by second fixing means distinct from the aforesaid clamping means.
- the wall side of the chest has a shoulder and that the second fastening means comprise screws or bolts passing through said side wall of the trunk and engaged with one of the inner or outer frames, the heads of these screws or bolts bearing on a support piece resting against the aforesaid shoulder; especially then, the support piece is unique and frame-shaped wedding the inner contour of the trunk to reinforce this one.
- the rim of the chest, the inner frame and possibly the second outer frame are substantially planar.
- it can then provide a modified arrangement according to which the edge of the trunk, the inner frame and possibly the second outer frame are curved substantially to match the curvature of the wall flexible inflatable enclosure.
- the chest can be equipped with all the means necessary for its function and its environment ; cover (removable, sliding or swiveling), closing lock, gasket, ....
- the chest can receive any desired conformation, including parallelepipedic, in particular parallelepipedic elongated rectangle, which fits more easily into a elongated enclosure such as a pudding boat buoyancy or poolside.
- An accessory arrangement as defined above according to the invention can be integrated, as as needed, in many types of devices provided with at least one inflatable enclosure with at least one flexible wall, whatever the type (pneumatic, hydraulic) of inflation of said enclosure.
- the invention attaches particularly (but not exclusively) to pneumatic devices less a sidewall comprising at least one inflatable bead pneumatically, which inflatable bead then corresponds to the device exposed above, the above pregnant inflatable being constituted here by said inflatable bead pneumatically receiving said accessory.
- an application more particularly in the context of the present invention relates to the the field of pneumatic boats: according to the invention, a inflatable boat having two lateral floats joining forward to form a bow and braced by a rigid floor and a transom, each lateral float being formed of at least one inflatable bead pneumatically, is characterized in that this inflatable bead corresponds to a device exposed above to be equipped at least one accessory.
- Another favorite app also particularly targeted in the context of the invention relates to the field of inflatable swimming pools: according to the invention, a pneumatic pool delimited perimetrically by at least one pneumatically inflatable bead is characterized in what this boudin corresponds to a device exposed above to be equipped with at least one accessory.
- the sealing means 10 with respect to the inflation fluid can be arranged so as to completely isolate the zone of the wall 2 on which the accessory 3 of the rest of the housing is mounted.
- enclosure 1 the sealing means comprise a sheet of flexible material (in particular of the same nature and the same characteristics as that constituting the wall 2) forming a flexible pocket 10 which is secured in a sealed manner on its periphery at 10 a (in particular by gluing or welding) to the inner face of the flexible wall 2 around the opening 4, said pocket 10 then extending inside the enclosure 1 by sealingly sealing the accessory 3 and its mounting parts on the wall 2.
- the two frames 6 and 7 are provided of respective grooves 8 vis-à-vis defining together a retaining channel suitable for housing said reinforcement 5 which is thus retained symmetrically.
- the presence of reinforcement or ring 5 allows to resume, all around the opening 4, the tension forces of the wall 2 of so that the enclosure has no weakening or no distortion and retains its general shape despite the presence of the accessory.
- the clamping means are screws or bolts (reference 9 denoting the schematization of the axes thereof) which are distributed around the periphery of the opening 4.
- the clamping means are constituted simply by a bonding and / or welding against each other from the edge 2a of the opening 4, the outer frame 6 and inner frame 7 (reference 2 a denotes the peripheral portion of the wall 2 which is sandwiched between the two frames 6, 7 and which is bordered by the ring 5).
- FIG 2 is illustrated an example of inflatable boat 11 likely to be concerned by the invention.
- the boat 11 is a boat pneumatic which includes two pneumatic floats 1 bilaterally bordering a bottom 13 and a hull (no visible). The rear part of the boat is closed by a transom 14 secured to the bottom 13 and floats 1 and bridging them. Both floats 1 join forward to form a bow.
- each float 1 is consisting of a pneumatically inflatable bead.
- Each float 1 (or each constituent coil of it) represents the inflatable enclosure mentioned previously in Figure 1.
- the specific type of boat hull flexible, rigid hull, equipment does not enter into consideration in the context of the invention.
- the boats, and in particular the boats inflatable, are equipped with traditional accessories such than carrying handles, cleats for ropes moorings, or others, which are attached (glued, welded, bolted) in projecting position on the float.
- the provisions in accordance with the invention allow only to consider mounting these accessories on the float wall 1 in their usual situation - that is to say projecting on the float - but they allow to consider also an original assembly of these accessories, namely an assembly in part or in whole recessed and / or retractable.
- a base plate is provided substantially rigid assembly 15 for the mounting of the accessory 3 (for example a handle or a cleat), which base 15 extends at least in part to inside the enclosure 1 (ie below the wall level 2) and is provided with a flange perimeter constituting the above-mentioned internal framework.
- the mounting base 15 and the flange forming the inner frame 7 are located in the extension of each other and the assembly is presented globally in the form of a plate 17 provided with the groove 8 perimeter.
- the accessory 3 (by example the cleat) is attached to the plate 17 and fixed (for example by screwing in 18) on this one as illustrated in Figure 3B.
- the mounting base 15 can be arranged substantially in the form of an open box surrounded by a rim perimetric constituting the aforesaid inner frame 7 (the whole box being designated by the reference 19).
- the accessory 3 is then fixed on the base 15 (by example by screwing 18).
- the accessory 3 is erased in part or all (as illustrated in Figure 4A) of so that the accessory is no longer likely to prove dangerous and that, moreover, the float 1 presents a line continuity offering an aesthetic appearance interesting.
- the fixed mounting of the accessory 3 inside the box 19 may be suitable for some accessories such as a cleat as shown in Figure 4A.
- a cleat as shown in Figure 4A.
- other accessories such as a handle
- the provisions according to the invention offer the possibility of a retractable accessory in part or in screen.
- the example shown in Figure 4B is for a retractable handle, which handle then constitutes accessory 3.
- the inner contour of the upper frame 6 is shaped so that one can grab the top of the handle 3, slightly protruding, and pull it up when one wishes to use it (position illustrated in dashes). Possibly, one can provide means to erasable ratchet (not shown) to block the handle in projecting position.
- Such a retractable accessory arrangement is not reserved for the implementation of a handle and, by example, could be provided for the implementation of a retractable cleat.
- the fixed flush mount shown in FIG. 4A requires, for its use, that the box 15 is very large enough to leave a space free around the cleat to allow the winding of a halyard or rope around it.
- AT Fig. 4C is illustrated a cleat arrangement retractable two positions stable, retracted and exit respectively.
- the cleat 3 is provided with a body 22 which is hollowed out by a channel axial 26 which opens advantageously, superiorly, in a recess or countersink 23 with a flat bottom.
- a ratchet of retainer 24 has an elastic rod 25 passing through the channel 26 and terminating at the top with a spout.
- base 28 of the rod 25 is secured to the bottom 15 of the box 19.
- Springs 29 are interposed between the sole 30 of the cleat 3 and the bottom 15. In the erased position of cleat illustrated in Figure 4C, cleat 3 is depressed in the box 19 by compressing the springs 29 and is retained by the spout 27 resting on the bottom of the recess 23. When the spout 27 is released, the springs 29 push back the cleat 3 upwards, in the out position or position use.
- the upper frame 6 can be covered with a hubcap 31, for example stainless steel or chrome; or it may be the senior executive 6 himself which, being made for example of synthetic material molded, has an external face which presents all desired decorative conformation and which can possibly be metallized on the surface (chrome plating).
- a hubcap 31 for example stainless steel or chrome
- the senior executive 6 himself which, being made for example of synthetic material molded, has an external face which presents all desired decorative conformation and which can possibly be metallized on the surface (chrome plating).
- a safe 33 is installed as a example in each of the inflatable tubes or floats 1.
- the flange 1 has an opening 4 on the edge of which is sealed the chest 33 made in a rigid way (for example in plastic).
- the trunk 33 has an edge perimeter which coincides substantially closely with the edge of the opening 4 of the inflatable coil 1, the trunk being engaged for the most part, through the opening 4, inside the inflatable bead.
- the edge perimeter trunk 33 is secured by means of fixing to said edge of the opening 4 over the entire periphery of it.
- the sealing means are constituted as described above and include a flexible pouch 10 secured in a sealed manner (bonding, welding) to the inner face of the wall 2 of the coil inflatable 1 all around the opening 4.
- the trunk 33 presents a rim 34 substantially rigid, surrounding its edge perimeter and protruding outward.
- the rim 34 thus covers the edge of the opening 4 on the face external wall 2 of the inflatable ring 1.
- a lower rigid frame 7 having substantially the same shapes and dimensions that the aforesaid rim 34 of the trunk 33 and disposed within the inflatable bead 1 against the inner face of the wall 2 thereof and facing the rim 34 of the trunk 33.
- the rim 34 of the trunk could then constitute the outer frame 6 that was mentioned above, the assembly of the box 33 to the flexible wall 2 then by tightening the lower frame 7 and the edge 9.
- a second external frame 6 is provided for inflatable bead 1 and interposed between the outer face of the wall 2 of said inflatable bead 1 and the rim 34 of the safe 33.
- the assembly of the box 33 to the flexible wall 2 is made, as before, preferably by bolting or screwing 9 through the rim 34, the possible frame additional exterior 6, flexible wall 2 and frame 7.
- the holes in the frame inside 7 can be threaded to receive the ends of these screws 13.
- the trunk 33 can, of course, be provided with a appropriate cover: removable, sliding, or pivoting preference as shown in FIG. cover 35 is arranged anyway required for relates to the sealing of its closure by a seal device, locking means thereof, etc.
- the trunk 33 is arranged, in a simple manner, with a flange 34 which is substantially planar; the inner frames 7 and possibly outside 6 are then, too, substantially planes. Due to the general curvature of the wall of the inflatable ring 1, the result is tension unequal of this wall on the periphery of the opening 4.
- the rim 34 of the trunk 33 extends approximately in a tangent plane of the inflatable pudding 1 and it follows that its edges parallel to the axis of the boudin 1 are raised compared to the pudding. Such layout can be considered unsightly.
- both portions of the flange 34 extending transversely to the flange 1 are curved so as to fit the curvature of the 1.
- FIG 8A is illustrated, in exploded view and in another embodiment of the provisions of the Figure 5.
- the two inner frames 7 and outer 6 are provided with respective grooves 8 capable of reinforcement 5 forming retaining ring which is secured to the wall 2 of the inflatable ring 1.
- the two frames 6 and 7 are secured, by enclosing said wall 2 of the flange inflatable 1, using first fixing means, by example of screws or bolts 9 (schematized by their axes) distributed around the reinforcement 5.
- the trunk 33 is then secured by its rim superior 34 which rests on the upper frame 6, at this only frame 6 using second fixing means such as that screws or bolts 36, which in this example of implementation, extend parallel to the screws or bolts 9 above.
- FIG. 8B is illustrated a variant of the mode previous realization.
- the fastening of the trunk 33 does not is more for securing its rim 34 to the frame outside 6, but is by securing the wall side 37 of the chest to one of the frames 6, 7, for example to the inner frame 7 using screws 38 extending perpendicular to the assembly screws 8 of the two frames 6, 7 with the wall 2 of the inflatable bead 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 8B.
- the wall 37 of the latter has an upper portion of transversal dimension greater than that of the part lower, so as to form a shoulder 39 which can extend around the trunk or only on two faces vis-à-vis.
- the head of each screw 38 relies on a support piece 40, that there is a support piece 40 for each screw 38, that is provided a single support piece 40, conforming to the inner contour of the chest 33 and bearing against the shoulder 39, this single support piece 40 forming a peripheral reinforcement inside the trunk.
- FIGS. 8A and 8B allow easy and quick disassembly / reassembly of the trunk 33 while ensuring a good tension of the sheet of material (eg coated fabric) constituting the wall 2 of the inflatable ring 1 thanks to the reinforcement 5 forming rush that is trapped in the channel defined by both gorges 8 frames 6, 7 together.
- the sheet of material eg coated fabric
- FIG. 9 An example such a swimming pool, designated as a whole by the reference 41, is illustrated in Figure 9.
- the pool 41 is defined perimetrically by a pneumatic coil inflatable 1 large volume that occupies the entire height of pool and which, below, is secured in a waterproof to a bottom (not visible).
- the inflatable pudding 1 can extend according to a closed contour, in particular round (as shown) or oval, to retain a volume of water 42.
- the trunk 33 (which is then the accessory above mentioned generically by 3) may be constituted as indicated above and its solidarity with the pudding inflatable can be carried out in the manner described in with reference to figures 6, 8A or 8B, and resort to configurations of implantation on the boudin illustrated at Figures 5, 7A and 7B.
- the trunk 33 can be shaped and arranged, especially internally, anyway desirable in relation to possible use special. So, in the case of the equipment of a aircrafts, the trunk can be provided with inside, fixing means and / or partitioning suitable for storing navigation equipment. Of even, in the case of equipping a pool, the trunk can be arranged for storage of objects / toys floats that remain accessible from the water. In all cases, and especially for the equipment of a pool, we can also consider that the trunk is arranged in cooler with the interesting advantage that being in most of it engaged inside the inflatable pudding, the trunk is better protected from the sun.
- FIG 10 is illustrated yet another scope of the provisions of the invention, which flexible tanks for liquids (water, fuel, ).
- the closed pocket with flexible wall which constitutes the inflatable enclosure mentioned above, the inflation of this chamber being of hydraulic type and caused by the liquid introduced into the enclosure.
- the flexible tank 43 comprises a flexible enclosure 1, any shape, which can be equipped with a safe 33 under the same conditions as explained above for the equipment of an inflatable flotation rod of a inflatable boat.
- the fastening of the safe 33 to the flexible wall 2 of the enclosure 1, in particular on the face top of it, can be performed as exposed previously with reference to FIGS. 6, 8A and 8B.
