Description

Le "POKER PROW" est un dispositif de perfectionnement de l'appareil de mouillage d'un navire, principalement lorsque celui-ci est embossé en mouillage forain.The "POKER PROW" is a device for improving the wetting device of a ship, mainly when it is embossed in anchorage.

Par son action sur la ligne de mouillage le "POKER PROW" limite considérablement l'évitage du navire en maintenant celui-ci dans son cap.By its action on the mooring line the "POKER PROW" limits considerably shunting the ship while keeping it in its course.

Les principaux avantages de ce dispositif sont :

  • Stabilité incomparable en mouillage forain,
  • Sécurité au mouillage en évitant les risques d'abordage avec les navires voisins.
  • Opérations d'embarquement et de débarquement plus faciles.
  • Sans incidence sur la longueur hors tout du navire.
The main advantages of this device are:
  • Incomparable stability in fairground anchorage,
  • Safety at anchor avoiding risks of collision with neighboring vessels.
  • Boarding and disembarking operations easier.
  • Without affecting the overall length of the vessel.

Le dispositif "POKER PROW" se compose de deux éléments principaux:

  • 1/Une plate-forme mobile, orientable,
  • 2/ Un axe-pivot.
    • The "POKER PROW" device consists of two main elements:
  • 1 / A mobile platform, orientable,
  • 2 / A pivot axis.

    • 1-Plate-forme mobile orientable :1-orientable mobile platform:

    En acier inox, orientable et immobilisée dans la position recherchée à l'aide d'un bouton poussoir bloqueur.Stainless steel, adjustable and locked in the desired position with the help of a button blocking pusher.

    Sur cette plate-forme sont fixés:

  • =Le guide chaíne et le davier à bascule (en inox).
  • =Le dispositif de rotation de la plate-forme autour de l'axe vertical du Pivot.
  • =un caillebotis en lattes de teck de 22mm d'épaisseur, est fixé sur l'arrière de la plate-forme.
    • On this platform are set:
  • = The chain guide and the rocker arm (stainless steel).
  • = The device for rotating the platform around the vertical axis of the Pivot.
  • = a 22mm thick teak slatted grating is attached to the back of the platform.

    • L'appareil peut recevoir des ancres jusqu'à 40 Kg. après adaptation de ses caractéristiques en fonction de l'importance de la masse du navire.The device can receive anchors up to 40 Kg. After adaptation of its characteristics depending on the size of the ship's mass.

    2- Le pivot vertical:2- The vertical pivot:

    Le pivot consiste en:

  • =L'axe du pivot ( en inox, diamètre 60mm ou plus selon la masse du navire), positionné verticalement sous la plate-forme mobile.
    L'axe traverse le pont et comporte dans la partie inférieure un filetage sur une longueur de 90mm pour la fixation de l'ensemble.
  • =Une semelle en inox, boulonnée sous la plate-forme mobile.
  • =Un socle cylindrique fixé sur la partie extérieure du pont, sur laquelle repose la platine de rotation ( céleron ou autre matériau similaire anti-friction.
    diamètre 250mm) permettant ainsi la rotation de la plate-forme selon un secteur de 0 à 90° par rapport à l'axe du navire, et son immobilisation à l'aide du bouton bloqueur selon l'orientation recherchée.
  • =Sous le pont, l'Axe Pivot est maintenu en place ainsi que tout le dispositif par écrou et contre écrou, avec une rondelle de serrage ( diamètre 140mm) positionnée
    sous la platine de rotation en cèleron ( ou autre matériau, diamètre 150mm).
    Ce dispositif permettant la rotation de l'Axe Pivot et par conséquence de la plate-forme de mouillage
    • The pivot consists of:
  • = The axis of the pivot (in stainless steel, diameter 60mm or more depending on the mass of the ship), positioned vertically under the mobile platform.
    The axis crosses the bridge and has in the lower part a thread over a length of 90mm for fixing the assembly.
  • = A stainless steel sole, bolted under the mobile platform.
  • = A cylindrical base fixed on the outer part of the bridge, on which rests the rotation plate (celery or other similar anti-friction material.
    diameter 250mm) thus allowing the platform to rotate in a sector from 0 to 90 ° with respect to the axis of the ship, and its immobilization using the blocking button in the desired orientation.
  • = Under the bridge, the Pivot Axis is held in place as well as the whole device by nut and nut, with a clamping washer (diameter 140mm) positioned
    under the turntable in a celeriac (or other material, diameter 150mm).
    This device allows the rotation of the Pivot Axis and consequently of the anchoring platform

    • B/ FONCTIONNEMENT:B / OPERATION:

    En mouillage forain, le POKER FLOW est disposé perpendiculairement à l'axe du navire (sous un angle d'environ 85°).In anchorage, the POKER FLOW is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the vessel (at an angle of about 85 °).

    L'écartement le l'alignement de la chaíne par rapport à la proue ainsi réalisé forme un triangle dont le sommet serait l'ancre et la base les deux extrémités du «POKER PROW». Ainsi maintenu, le navire offre une plus grande résistance aux effets conjugués
       =de la force du vent,
       =de la direction du courant,
       =de l'amplitude des vagues,
    de ce fait le phénomène d'évitage s'en trouve fortement réduit et le navire conserve son cap déterminé à l'embossage.    The spacing the alignment of the chain relative to the bow thus realized forms a triangle whose top would be the anchor and the base the two ends of the "POKER PROW". Thus maintained, the ship offers greater resistance to the combined effects
    = the strength of the wind,
    = current direction,
    = the amplitude of the waves,
    as a result, the phenomenon of shifting is greatly reduced and the vessel maintains its fixed course of embossing.

    C/ AUTRES APPLICATIONS:C / OTHER APPLICATIONS: 1/ Plate forme de débarquement :1 / Landing platform:

    En complément, le caillebotis peut recevoir une lyre pour adapter une passerelle permettant éventuellement le débarquement des passagers par l'avant du navire.In addition, the grating can receive a lyre to adapt a bridge allowing possibly the landing of the passengers by the front of the ship.

    Ce dispositif est particulièrement intéressant pour les navires à voiles qui ne possèdent qu'un moteur et de ce fait manoeuvrent difficilement dans les ports où les chenaux sont très étroits et d'accès mal aisé.This device is particularly interesting for sailboats that do not have than an engine and therefore difficult to maneuver in the ports where the channels are very narrow and poorly accessible.

    2/ Les caractéristiques du navire ne sont pas modifiées :2 / The characteristics of the ship are not modified:

    Du fait que par l'installation du dispositif « POKER PROW» le balcon de proue doit être ouvert pour permettre la manoeuvre de la plate-forme de mouillage, la longueur hors tout Due to the fact that the installation of the device "POKER PROW" the bow balcony must be open to allow the maneuvering of the mooring platform, the overall length

    du navire équipé ainsi ne sera pas modifiée par rapport au même navire conforme au modèle de base, possédant un appareil de mouillage classique.equipped vessel will not be modified in relation to the same vessel complying basic model, having a classic wetting device.

    Les dimensions du navire ne sont pas modifiées par l'installation du dispositif « POKER PROW » et restent parfaitement en accord avec la réglementation portuaireThe dimensions of the ship are not modified by the installation of the device " POKER PROW " and remain perfectly in accordance with the harbor regulations

    3/ Sécurité :3 / Security:

    Etant donné que les constructions modernes ont tendance à avoir des ancres placées toujours plus en avant pour éviter le contact de l'ancre avec la proue du navire, le fait d'avoir une étrave nette et sans apparaux débordant diminuent les risques d'abordages ou de heurts avec les autres navires en mouillage forain.Since modern constructions tend to have anchors placed always more forward to avoid contact of the anchor with the bow of the ship, the fact to have a clear bow and without overflowing devices reduce the risk of collisions or clashes with other ships in fairground anchorage.

    D/ RESUME:D / SUMMARY:

    Le « POKER PROW » est un appareil de mouillage orientable améliorant considérablement la stabilité d'un navire embossé en mouillage forain.The "POKER PROW" is a directional wetting device improving considerably the stability of a ship embossed in fairground anchorage.
